Hand-picked News

OpenAI’s latest model was too blunt for some users—now it’s learning to smile without sucking up.

  • GPT-5’s rollout was rocky, with users saying it felt colder than GPT-4o

  • The update adds subtle warmth like “Good question” and “Great start”

  • Internal tests show no spike in fake praise or flattery

OpenAI says the changes are “subtle” but meant to make GPT-5 feel more approachable. VP Nick Turley admitted the model was “very to the point”—until now.

Tone matters. As AI becomes part of daily life, how it talks to us shapes how much we trust it.

Quick insight: If you’re building with GPT-5, test how tone shifts user engagement. A little warmth might go a long way.

Your writing assistant just got a brain transplant—and now it’s ready to collaborate, critique, and even predict how your readers will react.

  • Grammarly’s new AI-native Docs editor includes real-time chat and agent support

  • 10+ smart agents now help with tone, citations, paraphrasing, and audience reactions

  • Agents like AI Detector and Plagiarism Checker are Pro-only, but others are free

Grammarly’s $1B expansion and recent acquisitions (Coda + Superhuman) are fueling a shift from passive suggestions to active, context-aware collaboration. This is phase one of a full-blown productivity suite.

Writing tools are evolving fast—from helpers to co-authors. Expect more personalized, proactive support wherever you type.

Quick tip: Try the Humanizer agent to make AI-generated text sound more natural. It’s surprisingly good at smoothing robotic edges.

OpenAI’s CEO just dropped a truth bomb: the AI hype train is speeding toward a wall—and not everyone’s ready for impact.

  • Sam Altman says we’re in an AI bubble, with too much money chasing too little real value

  • He predicts a “bloodbath” for startups that can’t deliver meaningful products

  • OpenAI is focused on long-term utility, not flashy demos or short-term buzz

Altman’s warning is a wake-up call for founders and investors riding the AI wave. The gold rush mentality is flooding the space with noise, but only the most useful tools will survive.

⚠️ Expect a shakeout. The next phase of AI won’t be about hype—it’ll be about staying power.

Quick insight: If you’re building in AI, now’s the time to double down on real user value. Flashy doesn’t last. Useful does.

Former Zillow exec targets $1.3T

The top companies target big markets. Like Nvidia growing ~200% in 2024 on AI’s $214B tailwind. That’s why the same VCs behind Uber and Venmo also backed Pacaso. Created by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech transforms a $1.3 trillion market. With $110M+ in gross profit to date, Pacaso just reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.
