Summary: OpenAI's rolling out ads in ChatGPT and they're taking quite the interesting PR approach—essentially telling everyone that actually, you're going to love these ads. It's a bold strategy, I'll give them that. They're starting with free and Plus users in the US, promising the ads won't influence responses and will be clearly labeled. The spin is that this lets them expand free access to AI for everyone, which is fair enough given they need revenue. But you can tell from the comments that nobody's particularly thrilled about it. Still, I think it's reasonable—they've got to pay the bills somehow.
On a completely different note, I got properly annoyed with the UK government's AI training website. They've spent £4 million of taxpayer money on this thing through PwC, and it's genuinely useless. The "pathways" feature just shows you a filtered list of courses—it doesn't actually create a pathway at all. What's worse, they're missing obvious resources like NHS and civil service training materials that already exist. So I've gone ahead and started building a proper version myself that actually helps people navigate AI training, and I'll release it for free once it's done. Might replicate it for other countries too, because clearly someone needs to do this properly.

Summary: I spent today talking about something that's been bugging me—people asking permission to build things when they should just be shipping. Kit just tweeted about it, and I get the same thing constantly: DMs from people with "great ideas" who want to chat before they've built anything. With all due respect, I don't care about your idea. Come back with a link. The technical barriers are gone—vibe coding exists, you don't need a developer or a hundred grand to hire one. If you can't be bothered to prototype something using the tools available right now, that tells me you're not going to put in the work anyway. I'm literally rebuilding that embarrassing £4.1 million government AI Skills Hub myself just to prove the point.
The window is closing, and that's what people need to understand. Right now, you're ahead of the curve if you're watching this—you know AI exists, you understand what it can do, and you have maybe a year or two before everyone else catches up. I walked through a proper framework for finding your market, working out what business to build (hint: start with the business problem, not the AI), and why speed matters more than perfection. Peter Levels said it best—do you really have time to wait a few more years before starting? If we hit AGI, it's going to be exponentially harder to carve out a space for yourself. Build now, get distribution now, get customers now. Stop asking for permission.

137: Claude Opus 4.6 Might Be AGI, Stock Market Crashes, GPT 5.3 Codex

Summary: Honestly, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed this morning, and that's saying something considering I wade through AI news every single day. Yesterday's release of Opus 4.6 has properly knocked me sideways—not just because the benchmarks are stellar, but because for the first time I'm viscerally feeling like AGI might actually be around the corner. I threw some heavy problems at it and watched it work, and suddenly all those CEO promises about artificial general intelligence don't feel like hype anymore. It's that "three sleepless nights" moment Ethan Mollick wrote about in Co-Intelligence, where you have to genuinely reckon with what this means for your work, your kids, and frankly, the entire human race.
The timing is wild because we've also got OpenAI dropping GPT 5.3 and Codex 5.3 in the same window, so the competition is absolutely cooking right now. Meanwhile, the stock market took a proper header yesterday as investors started processing what rapid AI advancement actually means for traditional business. I spent six hours yesterday testing these new models side-by-side, and Codex genuinely beat Claude Code on a website migration task, which I wasn't expecting. The step change from Wednesday to Thursday has been stark enough that even someone neck-deep in this stuff daily is having to take a breath and process it all.

First aired: 5 February 2026
Summary: The AI drama is heating up. Anthropic just dropped an attack ad targeting ChatGPT's decision to include adverts in their free tier, which is a bold move considering Claude's relatively tiny user base. Sam Altman's response was perfectly brutal—basically saying "we're providing free AI to the world and using ads to fund it, meanwhile hardly anyone uses your product." Fair point, honestly. It's fun watching these tech giants take shots at each other, and ultimately it means better models and more choice for us.
Meanwhile, the UK government managed to spend £4.1 million (that's $5.5 million) on an "AI Skills Hub" that's essentially just a poorly organised catalogue of free courses you could've found on Google. The site's a mess—verification emails land in spam, there's no pricing information for paid courses, and I'm genuinely annoyed enough that I'm rebuilding it myself to show what £4 million should actually get you. On a brighter note, Google quietly revealed they've got 750 million users on Gemini, which means they're catching up to ChatGPT fast whilst everyone else is busy firing shots at each other.

Summary: I spent the morning walking through OpenAI's new Codex Mac app, which is essentially their AI coding tool wrapped in a chat interface rather than a traditional development environment. The big news is it's free for the next two months, even on free ChatGPT accounts, which makes it properly accessible for people who've never touched code before. I wanted to show the complete setup process because whilst tools like Lovable are still easier, they cost £25 a month—and Codex being free removes that barrier entirely.
The tutorial covers the awkward bits that trip people up: setting up GitHub (using the desktop app, not the terminal—much simpler), getting your project deployed so you can actually see what you're building, and the general workflow of chatting with the AI to build something functional. I built a pattern-tracking app that analyses your daily habits over time, nothing fancy but it demonstrates the process. It's not the most technical guide out there, but it's designed to get beginners past those initial stumbling blocks so they can start making things.
