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:
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.

Today, we're announcing plans to make VS Code an open source AI editor.
We believe AI development should stay true to VS Code's core principles: open, collaborative, and community-driven. Let's build the future of software development together.

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?

GPT-4.1 (and -mini and -nano) are now available in the API!
these models are great at coding, instruction following, and long context (1 million tokens).
benchmarks are strong, but we focused on real-world utility, and developers seem very happy.
GPT-4.1 family is API-only.

SQL was made "so that even business people could make database reports" only to find out that business people don't want to do that and will still ask programmers.
LLMs were made "so that even non-technical people could program"...

One basic thing that a lot of people can improve not just with games but also their sites is add og:image and Twitter card <meta> tags
I see about 99% of people never do this, it's crazy
You will get WAY more clicks with it
Here's how it looks, the code for it and how it looks without (you just see a URL, imagine what's easier to click on)
Make sure you type your URL in a tweet with https:// to activate it
You can just ask AI to add og:image and Twitter summary_large_image to your site, usually I make a screenshot 1200x630px and if your site gets more advanced you make it advanced with a screenshot API and your own dynamic page (with CSS etc) that makes its own social media images automatically
Still kind of buggy but you can try it here:

Will check out yours as well 🙂

One of the features I've mosted wanted in AI Studio for a long time! Just paste a YouTube link into the command line and ask Gemini 2.0 questions about it - it's multimodal understanding is kind of mindblowing. Try it here: aistudio.google.com/
