We are devastated by the unexpected death of Inman Harvey a few days ago. A towering figure in artificial life and evolutionary robotics for 35 years, he was a mentor, inspiration and friend to generations of Artificial Life researchers. A full obituary will follow.

How to set up a remote MCP server and connect it to ChatGPT deep research:
Replying to @OpenAI
Workspace admins can also now build custom deep research connectors using Model Context Protocol (MCP) in beta. MCP lets you connect proprietary systems and other apps so your team can search, reason, and act on that knowledge alongside web results and pre-built connectors. Available to Team, Enterprise, and Edu admins, and Pro users starting today.

I buy everything on AI now, even tires. But until now the AI systems haven't linked to places you can transact. If they get this right, like showing you the best deals, or even, telling you the best seats to buy at a show (Grok and ChatGPT can tell you where to sit at Las Vegas' Sphere, for instance, for best views) then this will be a big deal. And will provide new ways for OpenAI to monetize. By the way, takes away the oxygen from Perplexity's early lead in shopping. The big question is whether it'll change consumer behavior, who usually uses Google or Amazon to buy things? My experience? Yes it can. Why go to Google Flights, for instance, if you can just talk to ChatGPT?
We're excited to announce we’ve launched several improvements to ChatGPT search, and today we’re starting to roll out a better shopping experience. Search has become one of our most popular & fastest growing features, with over 1 billion web searches just in the past week 🧵
