If you don't cringe a little looking at portfolio work from back in the day, are you even improving? Hint: no

Looks like the fix is in. Altman says they finally fixed the annoying problem of ChatGPT adding em dashes everywhere despite telling it not to in your personalized settings.

You're halfway through a breakup with a service, and they suddenly drop to one knee and offer you a 50% discount. Just be good to me from the start! Which companies make you play this game? Screenshot, because we need receipts. I'll go first. ChatGPT:

An update to robots.txt is rolling out to stop AI from hoovering up content for free. The spec supports pay-per-crawl, pay-per-inference, and more. Worth a read: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...
Pay-per-output? AI firms blindsided by beefed up robots.txt instructions.
“Really Simple Licensing” makes it easier for creators to get paid for AI scraping.

I asked ChatGPT for a size comparison overlaying the difference between US currency and a Euro banknote. Instead it actually generated images of money!?

Stop for a moment and think about how to make your money work harder for you AFTER you've earned it. This podcast episode sheds a bit of insight, but definitely don't let this be all you do: open.spotify.com/episode/2c5x... #freelance #income

As a fan of Bluesky, I couldn’t resist making this tweak to the logo. The star shape in the central negative space adds a bit more “sky” and helps balance the mark, at least IMO. Completely unsolicited, but designer’s gonna design! #bluesky #logo
