Hi!!

It’s been a busy week in AI, creation, and marketing, so I thought I’d share some open tabs.

AI

​AI will hit the labor market like a ‘tsunami’​

​Klarna is using ChatGPT to draft legal contracts​

OpenAI

​OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever is officially leaving (surprising exactly no one)

​OpenAI Launches Voice Assistant Inspired by Hollywood Vision of AI (no one seems to remember how sad this movie was??)

So, it might seem that naming your new model GPT-4o (where some fonts make the “O” look like a “0” and therefore “40”) is a dumb branding mistake; let’s consider that Google is over there introducing whole new words to this world where people cannot keep up. And they want to listen to your phones...

Google

​Project IDX, Google’s next-gen IDE, is now in open beta (save you a click - this is for developers)

​Google is redesigning its search engine — and it’s AI all the way down (seo tears)

​Google announces new scam detection tools that provide real-time alerts during phone calls (because they weren't already listening to users' calls!)

And for my creatives, a shot:

​Veo, Google’s Sora competitor, is hyped by Donald Glover​

And a chaser:

​Google CEO Pichai says the company will ‘sort it out’ if OpenAI misused YouTube for AI training​

Marketing + Creators

TikTok

​Some creators are suing the US over the potential ban​

Meta

​Meta Is Shutting Down Workplace, Its Collaborative Work Tool The only people I knew who used this worked at Meta, and it makes me wonder how they’ll communicate! Jk, I bet they don’t shut it down for themselves.

​RFK Jr and super PAC sue Meta, claiming election interference And here I am still trying to convince political teams to run ads shorter than 60s, lol

Apple

​Apple’s PR team went into overdrive to flood the web with positive stories after their ad upset pretty much everyone.​

There's a lot, Reader.

Of all of that, I recommend trying ChatGPT’s current audio feature before the new one hits your account. I have found the current version quite compelling, so establish a baseline and let me know if you think this new one is an upgrade!

Thanks for your notes about the roses—so far, they’ve survived. Virginia has gotten a ton of rain the past few weeks, so I think that’s helping.

Have a great rest of your week!

Cheers,

Elizabeth

p.s. We’ve got about a month left in this wave. Is there something you have seen that you’d like me to share? Something you want me to look into for you?
