My First ChatGPT Ads! YEAH! 😑

This morning, while chatting with ChatGPT to learn how to block access to one of my websites for a specific country (Russia, for example), I got my first ads in ChatGPT since I’m on the free tier. How cool is that?

Side note: I’m considering blocking access to my websites for specific hostile countries and replacing the content with a “GTFO” page. Yep, I’m like that. 💪🏻👊🏻 I’m still trying to figure that out because using DNS Proxy on Cloudflare is discouraged by Ghost and many other hosting services.

Can't Make It Work

I’ve been trying to make Claude Code work with Chrome for development purposes and failed miserably. I’m doing all the required setup, and no, nothing seems to work. Claude Code isn’t able to preview changes on my local browser. Is it because it doesn’t support the ARC Browser? I tested Codex, and it worked right from the bat! Mmmm.

CIOs ready for another role-change as AI becomes agent of chaos — The Register

As software generates software and autonomous agents execute work, the CIO’s center of gravity shifts from building systems to governing outcomes.

We’ve been delegating so much stuff in the last 10-15 years… like moving the on-prem data centers to cloud providers… transforming manager’s roles from hardware acquisition and planning to contractual surveillance, FinOps, etc. AI will accelerate this but in a new direction.

Memory Is the Machine:

Apple did not win an AI race. Apple made a memory-architecture decision in 2020 that turned out to be the AI race, five years before there was an AI race.

Maybe we should stop focusing on Siri failures and, like Om Malik said, on the real story where Apple has a five year lead… which happens to make a big difference in an AI-distributed world.

Deleted a few dozens Shortcuts today. All sort of Shortcuts: simple ones, utility ones, more complex ones. Many of them aren’t needed anymore because of my AI usage. I’m curious to see how Apple will make the Shortcuts landscape evolve in the age of AI.

Sometimes I test a local LLM on my M2 MacBook Air, which isn’t very powerful for this task. After a few prompts, it gets quite hot.🌡️ A MacBook Pro, with fans, would handle it better. Now, think about millions of people prompting LLMs in data centers worldwide, with much more powerful models responding and consuming huge amounts of energy. No wonder some parts of the world are experiencing an energy crisis because of AI.

This morning, I realized that having a self-hosted version of n8n comes with some notable limitations. For example, with the SaaS version, you can link your n8n instance to a GitHub repo so you can use version control right in GitHub and manage issues and all that. More details from Claude AI:

n8n has a native Source Control feature (available in Enterprise / Self-hosted Pro plans) that connects your n8n instance directly to a Git repo: Push/pull workflows, credentials stubs, and variables to/from a branch Supports environment promotion (e.g. dev → staging → prod branches)

If Google’s Gemini will be the core intelligence behind the “new Siri” this fall, as per Google’s recent statement, should I begin exploring it to understand its personality? 🤔
