Google Is Connecting NotebookLM to Gemini, and Your Research Just Got Smarter - Phandroid Google is testing NotebookLM integration with Gemini, letting the AI access your research notebooks directly for grounded memory.

This seems like the next step. I really enjoy NotebookLM, but sometimes it would be nice to have more LLM features, rather than just the RAG-like features it provides.

OpenAI readies ChatGPT Group Chats with custom controls OpenAI plans Group Chats for ChatGPT, letting teams now coordinate shared exchanges with custom prompts, potentially set for a December launch.

I've been wanting this for a while. We've attempted something similar through Slack, but the context around the conversation doesn't quite work right. Having a true group chat and being able to collaborate with ChatGPT involved will be nice.

Why do AI models use so many em-dashes? If you asked most people to name a defining feature of AI-generated writing, they’d probably say the em-dash β€” like this. Language models use em-dashes so much…

Interesting take on AI's favorite character and everyone else's bane of existenceβ€”the em dash!

ChatGPT-5 now says β€œI don’t know” and that’s a game changer - Talk Android In a world of chatbots that always seem to have an answer β€” even when they probably shouldn’t β€” something unexpected is happening. ChatGPT-5, the latest

"I don't know." 3 simple words, but it took a long time for me to learn to say that as a consultant. Now ChatGPT's evolving to realize the importance of that statement.

Now, it just needs to learn to follow up with "...but I'll find out."

Gen Z are less likely to favor fully remote working compared with millennials and boomers Per a new Gallup survey, it turns out young workers do want to go back to the office... sometimes....

This makes sense after thinking about it. Gen Z seems more tied to purpose than flexibility. That’s a good thing. Remote work can make it harder to feel that purpose.

Introducing upgrades to Codex Codex just got faster, more reliable, and better at real-time collaboration and tackling tasks independently anywhere you developβ€”whether via the terminal, IDE, web, or even your phone.

New Codex, less tokens. That was the first thing I noticed when running Codex - the token usage was significantly higher than doing the same task in Gemini or Claude Code. Hopefully this fixes that.

Great guide to go from simple prompts and prompt engineering to moving to context engineering. We all start someplace, but if don't keep learning, our skills will get stagnant - faster with AI.

Disposable Code Is Here to Stay, but Durable Code Is What Runs the World Every day I seem to run into yet another post with someone solemnly opining that β€œwriting code has never been the hardest part of software engineering. And hey, that’s smashing.

This is a good reminder of where AI code stands (at least for now) and what to do about it: Don't Freak Out

This is a great prompting guide. I've picked up most of this slowly over time. Having this up-front would have been helpful. My favorite is right at the end - having the AI write the prompt for you!

Why language models hallucinate OpenAI’s new research explains why language models hallucinate. The findings show how improved evaluations can enhance AI reliability, honesty, and safety.

Training AI models is over my head, but this helped me understand one part: current eval methods reward confident guesses over "I don't know."

Consultants often start that way too. It takes experience to realize "I don't know" is valid.

Disposable Software | Andreessen Horowitz When software was expensive and hard to build, we mostly made it for serious things and expected it to last (like payroll systems, tax tools, ERP software and consumer networks). Every line of code…

I believe this is what Sam Altman calls "the fast fashion era of software" right? I'm certainly enjoying being able to quickly write an app that gets me something now rather than waiting weeks, even if it gets set aside later. Plus, I feel like a software engineer again!

NotebookLM to pull sources from web via Deep Research soon What we know so far: The Deep Research feature from Gemini is coming to NotebookLM. Likely with a possibility to pull sources from Google Drive as well.

We've been experimenting using NotebookLM as a knowledge source for projects. Most of our documentation is in Google Docs, so this is interesting to me. It's fun to see this evolve. I was afraid this would end up as another abandoned Google tool.

Finally found a real-world use for ChatGPT's agent mode. Had it look up LinkedIn profiles and send connection requests for one of my meetings this week. It worked. Not sure it was faster, but I coulf have been doing something else if I wasn't watching it out of pure fascination.
