Original: How People Are Really Using AI in 2026 by Harvard Business Review. Summarized by AI on June 2, 2026. Generative AI has become deeply embedded in daily life, with 900 million regular ChatGPT users and Google Gemini close behind.

Because it seems fancy pants and authoritative: The generally accepted hypothesis to explain this overuse ties back LLMs’ training and reinforcement processes. As models learn to predict language patterns, they begin to use their learned patterns to do so. However, this isn’t the only factor determining which patterns get used more often. Models like Claude and ChatGPT have an…

Eight years of wanting, three months of building with AI lalitm.com/post/buil… When I was working on something where I didn’t even know what I wanted, AI was somewhere between unhelpful and harmful. The architecture of the project was the clearest case: I spent weeks in the early days following AI down dead ends, exploring designs…

If OpenAI fails, the most likely mode is the Yahoo path: not a dramatic collapse but a slow fade into irrelevance through a thousand mediocre product extensions. ChatGPT becomes a utility everyone uses but nobody pays premium for. Enterprise goes to companies with better compliance stories. The consumer product goes ad-supported. Revenue grows but margins…

Relevant to your interests, Saturday
The rise of ‘micro’ apps: non-developers are writing apps instead of buying them – Another go at LowCode: “It is a new era of app creation that is sometimes called micro apps, personal apps, or fleeting apps because they are intended to be used only by the creator (or the creator plus a select few…

Adding Apple Health to ChatGPT is, hopefully, great. I haven’t used it yet, so it might be bullshit – most of the other app integrations are silly, but just slurping in data seems hard to fuck-up. What would be the utility? Just the basics would be enough. As Manton says: We know next to nothing…

Labor vs. AI
Automation creates a temporary rent for whoever controls the remaining bottleneck. Whether workers keep that rent is a power question, not a technology question. ChatGPT summary of this paper on automation and wages. And I would add: The firm is seeking to get rid of human workers as much as possible. So once that high…

You can see the pattern and understand the root cause: ChatGPT can’t actually understand the rules of Lasers & Feelings (in the sense of having the words of the rulebook create a mental model that it can then use independent of the words) and, therefore, cannot truly use them. It can only generate a sophisticated…

Even after 3 years of tuning ChatGPT to be my best dumb friend, I keep getting told to cut the shit with my rambling, e.g., recent faint praise from the robot for my attempt at re-stating an answer: “You’ve basically got it; the only thing to do now is sharpen the tool so it’s usable…

Relative to your interests on Thursday
Your aging brain stops being a people-please. But: “The same directness that would be called ‘no-nonsense’ in a man gets called ‘abrasive’ in a woman over 40.” “I had to teach a lesson on asparagus, an ingredient I couldn’t care less about but apparently was good for SEO.” Forrester’s highlights from re:Invent, including things that…

Highlights from that OpenAI “The state of enterprise AI report”
On average, ChatGPT Enterprise users attribute 40–60 minutes of time saved per active day to their use of AI, with data science, engineering, and communications workers saving more than average (60–80 minutes per day). That’s the headline grabbing piece from the recent ChatGPT for work study. The theory take-away from that is that the more…

“technically fine, offends no one, and also does fuck-all to advance the conversation”
Me: Give me a definition of and commentary on “anodyne.” It seems like smarty-pants people use it as a dog whistle (a shibboleth!) for saying “I’m a smarty pants.” ChatGPT 5.1: **Definition** _Anodyne_ (adj. or noun): 1. Something that relieves pain or soothes; 2. By extension, a remark, policy, or idea that is inoffensive, bland,…

Using ChatGPT image generation to make isomorphic D&D maps
With a little prompt craft, you can get some good regional maps out of ChatGPT. Here is the original photo I took on a flight from London for Amsterdam: The prompt I used: Use this image to determine the layout of a D&D map in the style of Dungeons and Dragons adventures and maps. Pay…

“we now have more than 7 million total ChatGPT for Work seats (up 40% in just 2 months).”
A big deal: more than 800 million weekly users already familiar with ChatGPT, adoption and ROI within businesses is realized more rapidly–pilots are shorter and rollouts face less friction. We’re seeing this with the growth of ChatGPT for Work–we now have more than 7 million total ChatGPT for Work seats (up 40% in just 2…

Gemini could lap ChatGPT in app features
This would be great. I implicitly trust Google because my stuff is there. While I love using ChatGPT and Gemini, I have less trust in their security (they just don’t have the track record yet) and even less on their morals and law-following (they obviously blatantly violated copyright for their models). // If things keep…
