The Business of ChatGPT - Revenue and such numbers circa. August, 2025.

One Way Parents Can Fight the Phone-Based Childhood - GPT5: “Phones are not the root cause; they’re the symptom of a constrained, over-supervised childhood. The solution isn’t banning devices but giving kids freedom back: unsupervised play, local friends, independence. If parents want kids off screens, they must open the door–literally–and rebuild the conditions that once made childhood social, adventurous, and real."

ai-development-patterns, PaulDuvall - ”A comprehensive collection of patterns based on my experience for building software with AI assistance, organized by implementation maturity and development lifecycle phases. These patterns are subject to change as the field evolves.”

Microsoft says U.S. law takes precedence over Canadian data sovereignty - Great picture too.

Kubernetes Isn’t Enough for a Production-Ready Platform - Yeah. You should buy your platform instead of build it.

AWS CEO says AI replacing junior staff is ‘dumbest idea’ - ‘Amazon Web Services CEO Matt Garman has suggested firing junior workers because AI can do their jobs is “the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.”'

Accelerating Enterprise Application Upgrades Through Legacy Dependency Migration: Spring Application Advisor 1.4 - Upgrading software is sort of a boring topic. But, when we talk about this with customers, they get more excited than talking about AI. I shit you not. Just upgrading your ancient Java versions (as in this product release) is a huge problem. And, if you want to do all that fancy new AI stuff, you need the newer versions of your framework and stack. Our recent survey gives off this vibe too: organizations that spend more time on “modernization” have more success with AI projects.

The Cost Reality Check: Eliminating Public Cloud Waste Through Strategic Planning - “49% of organizations estimate that over 25% of their public cloud spend is wasted. 31% believe the waste exceeds 50%. That’s a level of inefficiency that few leaders can tolerate."

What is the most profitable thing you have done with ChatGPT? - A lot of it is making sense of confusing regulations and contracts. And plumbing. It gives “the little guy” more power in fields that are a mess of rules and lore, like law.

a word to my students - Copy and paste from AI only hurts the student. The rest of is should just worry about our own, ongoing shit-storms. // However, outside of education, when the point is to communicate and get shit done, I say go crazy with “chatbots.” They are probably better, more effective business writers than most.
