Sam Altman Says ChatGPT Is on Track to Out-Talk Humanity
Despite the troubled rollout of GPT-5, OpenAI still believes that ChatGPT will eventually have more conversations each day than actual people.
“If you project our growth forward, pretty soon billions of people a day will be talking to ChatGPT,” said the CEO of OpenAI during a dinner with journalists in San Francisco. “ChatGPT will be having more conversations, maybe, than all human words put together, at some point. I think it's unreasonable to expect a single model personality or style to work for all of that.”

CEOs tighten grip on workplace culture, dialing back flexibility
CEOs and executives continue to push for more in-office work. While they describe it as an aid to productivity or culture, it has always been, and will always be, about control. And while it’s difficult for employees to push back right now, nothing stays the same forever.
CEOs across industries are embracing the "Big Boss Era," which has been underscored by mass layoffs, return-to-office mandates or diversity, equity and inclusion walk-backs.

You may be sleep deprived and not even know it. Or you may be sleep deprived and know it, but that’s just the state you live in (which I can relate to).
When you consume an intoxicant, you expect it to alter your perception of reality. Sleep deprivation can have similar effects, though it might be difficult to realize you’re sleep-deprived.
