GPT-5 in less than 12 hrs

👋 Good morning/evening (wherever you are). It’s Wednesday.

Tomorrow is an important day.

GPT-5 is almost here. Even the “S” in “livestream” is a 5 (look at the tweet below).

What else is coming? Sora 2?

Btw this image is floating around…

OK let’s keep going ↓

🔥 Creative pulse

Midjourney just released HD video mode.

I know we love talking about AI creative. It goes viral all the time because they’re fun and quick dopamine appetizers.

But, I want you to think bigger.

Images and videos are the small game.

Remember, the real play is duplicating operational systems and decision logic.

That’s how strong AI is. That’s the advantage you can have with AI.

Anyways, read the full post on LinkedIn.

🧠 Thought starters

This article in The Guardian is interesting.

Sweden’s prime minister admitted he uses ChatGPT and other AI tools to get a second opinion on decisions.

Not for anything sensitive (according to him), but mainly for different angles or to check his own thinking.

Ulf Kristersson told the Swedish business newspaper Dagens industri: “I use it myself quite often. If for nothing else than for a second opinion. What have others done? And should we think the complete opposite? Those types of questions.”

As expected, there was backlash.

But, the media always focuses on the negative side of things.

From the perspective of Team Positive, I can almost guarantee you that the pro-AI crowd is celebrating the prime minister’s move.

Because many of us know, that it’s not a vote for “ChatGPT”…it’s a vote for superintelligence.

The below tweet from Paul is obviously an extreme example, but I tell you that a lot of my close friends are reaching unreal levels of output, due to AI.

Don’t aim to instantly 10x your life. That’s probably unhealthy.

Just think about a 1.5x or 2x version of you.
