We are devastated by the unexpected death of Inman Harvey a few days ago. A towering figure in artificial life and evolutionary robotics for 35 years, he was a mentor, inspiration and friend to generations of Artificial Life researchers. A full obituary will follow.
Ordered!

How to set up a remote MCP server and connect it to ChatGPT deep research:
Replying to @OpenAI
Workspace admins can also now build custom deep research connectors using Model Context Protocol (MCP) in beta.
MCP lets you connect proprietary systems and other apps so your team can search, reason, and act on that knowledge alongside web results and pre-built connectors.
Available to Team, Enterprise, and Edu admins, and Pro users starting today.
David Lane retweeted
ChatGPT can now connect to more internal sources & pull in real-time context—keeping existing user-level permissions.
Connectors available in deep research for Plus & Pro users (excl. EEA, CH, UK) and Team, Enterprise & Edu users:
Outlook
Teams
Google Drive
Gmail
Linear
& more

I buy everything on AI now, even tires. But until now the AI systems haven't linked to places you can transact.
If they get this right, like showing you the best deals, or even, telling you the best seats to buy at a show (Grok and ChatGPT can tell you where to sit at Las Vegas' Sphere, for instance, for best views) then this will be a big deal.
And will provide new ways for OpenAI to monetize.
By the way, takes away the oxygen from Perplexity's early lead in shopping.
The big question is whether it'll change consumer behavior, who usually uses Google or Amazon to buy things?
My experience? Yes it can. Why go to Google Flights, for instance, if you can just talk to ChatGPT?

GPT-4.1 is enabled for all Cursor users!
We're launching it for free for the time being, to let people get a feel for the model.
Curious to hear what you think. We don't yet recommend it as a default.
David Lane retweeted
GPT-4.1 (and -mini and -nano) are now available in the API!
these models are great at coding, instruction following, and long context (1 million tokens).
benchmarks are strong, but we focused on real-world utility, and developers seem very happy.
GPT-4.1 family is API-only.

CFO Sarah Friar revealed that OpenAI is working on:
"Agentic Software Engineer — (A-SWE)"
unlike current tools like Copilot, which only boost developers.
A-SWE can build apps, handle pull requests, conduct QA, fix bugs, and write documentation.

SQL was made "so that even business people could make database reports" only to find out that business people don't want to do that and will still ask programmers.
LLMs were made "so that even non-technical people could program"...

It's over.
Meta just announced MoCha, a new model that turns text or voice into super realistic talking characters.
There is no way to tell anymore...
