Yeah. About that.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">A bombshell <a class="link" href="https://www.svd.se/a/K8nrV4/metas-ai-smart-glasses-and-data-privacy-concerns-workers-say-we-see-everything?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=openai-just-dropped-gpt-5-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">investigation </a>by Swedish newspapers recently revealed that workers at a Kenya-based subcontractor were literally watching footage recorded by Meta&#39;s AI glasses. And we’re not just talking about boring grocery runs here. We are talking about nudity, sex, and people using the bathroom. Basically, it’s a reality show that absolutely nobody signed up for. 😬</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Now Meta is getting sued. Two plaintiffs (Gina Bartone of New Jersey and Mateo Canu of California)  filed<a class="link" href="https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Clarkson_Meta_Class_Action_Complaint-1.pdf?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=openai-just-dropped-gpt-5-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> a class action complaint</a> through the Clarkson Law Firm (the same folks who&#39;ve gone after Apple, Google, and OpenAI), alleging Meta violated privacy laws AND engaged in blatant false advertising. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Why false advertising? Because Meta&#39;s own ads literally said things like <i>&quot;you&#39;re in control of your data and content&quot;</i> and <i>&quot;built for your privacy.&quot;</i> The plaintiffs believed those promises, and shockingly, nobody mentioned the part about overseas workers reviewing intimate moments. Wild, right?</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Meta’s defense is that they take steps to “filter this data to protect people’s privacy and to help prevent identifying information from being reviewed.” But according to sources who spoke to the <a class="link" href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0q33nvj0qpo?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=openai-just-dropped-gpt-5-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BBC </a>, that filtering of data? Not always working. The U.K.&#39;s Information Commissioner&#39;s Office has already launched its own investigation. And when the privacy watchdog starts writing letters, you know the situation is getting serious.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">To be fair, Meta <i>does</i> mention human review in its fine print — buried deep in its <a class="link" href="https://web.facebook.com/legal/uk-ai-terms?_rdc=1&_rdr=&utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=openai-just-dropped-gpt-5-4#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">terms of service.</a> But come on. Seven million people bought these glasses in 2025 alone. How many of them actually read the <a class="link" href="https://www.meta.com/ng/legal/supplemental-terms-of-service/?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=openai-just-dropped-gpt-5-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">terms</a>? (Spoiler: approximately zero of them.)</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Big Picture:</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This isn&#39;t just a Meta problem: it’s a wake-up call for the entire AI wearables industry.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">As AI gets baked into everything we wear, eat, and breathe, the gap between &quot;sounds cool in an ad&quot; and &quot;here is what is actually happening to your data&quot; is becoming a canyon. Between AI pendants, always-on microphones, and smart glasses, we are building a world of luxury surveillance and the legal system is just starting to catch up, but for now, the lesson is clear: </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">If it has a camera and &quot;AI&quot; in the name, someone might be watching.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Also: Here’s a little something from us for the weekend:</p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="true" class="youtube_embed" frameborder="0" height="100%" src="https://youtube.com/embed/l9MeUghzZMk" width="100%"></iframe><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Go watch it and let us know what you think!</p><h2 class="heading" style="text-align:left;">Here&#39;s what we have for you today</h2><ul><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><a class="link" href="#open-ai-gpt-54-launch-everything-yo" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> 🤖 OpenAI GPT-5.4 Launch: Everything You Need to Know About the New ChatGPT Model </a></p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><a class="link" href="#around-the-ai-block" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">🧱 Around The AI Block</a></p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><a class="link" href="#trending-tools" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">🛠️ Trending Tools </a></p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><a class="link" href="#ai-workout-of-the-day-how-to-use-ai" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">🤖 AI Workout Of The Day: How to Use AI to Create Music </a></p></li></ul><hr class="content_break"><div id="open-ai-gpt-54-launch-everything-yo" class="section" style="background-color:transparent;border-color:#2e2104;border-radius:5px;border-style:solid;border-width:3px;margin:5.0px 5.0px 5.0px 5.0px;padding:10.0px 10.0px 10.0px 10.0px;"><h1 class="heading" style="text-align:center;"><b> </b>🤖<b> OpenAI GPT-5.4 Launch: Everything You Need to Know About the New ChatGPT Model </b></h1><div class="image"><img alt="" class="image__image" style="" src="https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/002c0dc6-8161-457b-a660-811c01d8c3e7/5.4-Thinking_Hero-SEO.png?t=1772775002"/></div><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">OpenAI just released their most powerful model yet, and the ink on GPT-5.3 instant is barely dry.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Just two days after OpenAI gave ChatGPT its highly-memed &quot;cringe-ectomy&quot; with <a class="link" href="https://openai.com/index/gpt-5-3-instant/?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=openai-just-dropped-gpt-5-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">GPT-5.3 Instant</a> (the update that literally deleted phrases like &quot;Stop. Take a breath.&quot; from ChatGPT&#39;s vocabulary), now, the company dropped <a class="link" href="https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-5-4/?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=openai-just-dropped-gpt-5-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">GPT-5.4 </a>on Thursday, March 5th. I mean two major model drops in days. OpenAI isn&#39;t walking: they&#39;re sprinting.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">So What&#39;s Actually New?</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">GPT-5.4 is tagged as OpenAI&#39;s &quot;most capable and efficient frontier model for professional work.&quot; And it comes in three distinct versions:</p><ul><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">GPT-5.4 Standard: The balanced workhorse.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">GPT-5.4 Thinking: The reasoning specialist (perfect for deep strategy or complex logic).</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">GPT-5.4 Pro: The high-performance beast for maximum accuracy.</p></li></ul><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Think of it like ordering coffee: regular, extra shot, or &quot;I have a board presentation in 20 minutes and I need to build a financial model, a legal brief, and a slide deck right now.&quot; That last one is GPT-5.4 Pro.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">For the tech-heads reading this: the API version now supports context windows as large as 1 million tokens. That’s the largest available from OpenAI to date. The company also introduced a &quot;Tool Search&quot; system for developers that reduces token consumption by nearly half.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The <a class="link" href="https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-5-4/?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=openai-just-dropped-gpt-5-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Benchmarks </a>are honestly a little scary to:</p><ul><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">In Professional Knowledge: It Scored 83% on the GDPval test (a jump from 70% in GPT-5.2), according to OpenAI, the model now matches or exceeds industry professionals across 44 occupations.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Computer Use: It set record scores on OSWorld-Verified (75%) and WebArena-Verified, officially surpassing the human baseline for navigating desktops.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Accuracy: OpenAI says 5.4 is 33% less likely to make false claims and 18% less likely to have errors compared to GPT-5.2.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Safety: OpenAI also rolled out a <a class="link" href="https://openai.com/index/reasoning-models-chain-of-thought-controllability/?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=openai-just-dropped-gpt-5-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">new safety test</a> that checks how its models handle chain-of-thought reasoning. The result? The Thinking version of GPT-5.4 is way less likely to pull any sneaky moves. According to OpenAI’s evaluation, the model doesn’t seem able to hide its reasoning, which means monitoring its chain-of-thought still works as a pretty solid safety check.</p></li></ul><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">But let&#39;s rewind 48 hours. On March 3rd, OpenAI rolled out GPT-5.3 Instant. Its whole vibe was fixing ChatGPT&#39;s deeply annoying habit of being overbearing.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">We’re talking about those unprompted phrases like &quot;You&#39;re not broken&quot; or &quot;I hear you&quot; that made users feel like they were being handled by a guidance counselor instead of an AI tool. OpenAI heard the feedback loud and clear: they cut the &quot;cringe,&quot; reduced hallucination rates by 26.8%, and made the bot sound like a peer again.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Big Picture: </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">OpenAI&#39;s rapid-fire release cadence isn&#39;t just a flex. It signals a fundamental shift. We&#39;re moving from &quot;AI as a toy&quot; to &quot;AI as essential infrastructure.&quot;</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">With native computer-use capabilities and the ability to handle long-horizon deliverables (think investment banking pitch decks and full legal reviews), GPT-5.4 is no longer just a fancy search engine. It’s gunning for your lawyer, your financial analyst, and your slide deck designer simultaneously.</p></div><div class="section" style="background-color:transparent;margin:0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;padding:0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><hr class="content_break"></div><div class="section" style="background-color:transparent;margin:0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;padding:0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><h3 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="smart-starts-here">Smart starts here.</h3><div class="image"><a class="image__link" href="https://l.join1440.com/bh?utm_source=beehiiv&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign={{publication_alphanumeric_id}}&utm_content=prospecting_smart_starts_here&_bhiiv=opp_17dbf22b-1245-418d-9a30-a699dd8d7afe_1b75ca79&bhcl_id=00492bc1-4d40-4f67-a03d-80f3af49b3a0_{{subscriber_id}}_{{email_address_id}}" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img class="image__image" style="" src="https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/55745e59-1ef7-4ba3-ad7a-db4c042d2d0d/1440_January-Static-Image-ODY-38060_1x1_V2.png?t=1769711566"/></a></div><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">You don&#39;t have to read everything — just the right thing. <a class="link" href="https://l.join1440.com/bh?utm_source=beehiiv&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign={{publication_alphanumeric_id}}&utm_content=prospecting_smart_starts_here&_bhiiv=opp_17dbf22b-1245-418d-9a30-a699dd8d7afe_1b75ca79&bhcl_id=00492bc1-4d40-4f67-a03d-80f3af49b3a0_{{subscriber_id}}_{{email_address_id}}" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">1440&#39;s daily newsletter</a> distills the day&#39;s biggest stories from 100+ sources into one quick, 5-minute read.

We’re talking real vocals, real instruments, and absolutely zero musical ability required.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Nearly 100 million people have tried Suno (it’s officially the #1 AI music tool of 2026), and once you try it, you&#39;ll immediately understand the hype. This isn&#39;t background elevator music. We&#39;re talking studio-quality audio and vocals that sound uncomfortably human.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The best part: The free plan gives you 50 credits daily. That’s 10 full songs every single day at zero cost. Your music career starts now (even if it’s just for your group chat).</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">How To Use It ?

The legal landscape has finally stabilized. Warner has settled with Suno, and UMG has settled with Udio. Both companies are now forming partnerships with major labels.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Translation: AI music is no longer a legal gray zone.

Once these giants go public (which is expected later this year), the &quot;private investment window&quot; simply closes. It sounds simple, clean, and totally not suspicious at all.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Except, well, it’s a little more complicated than that.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">According to <a class="link" href="https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/04/jensen-huang-says-nvidia-is-pulling-back-from-openai-and-anthropic-but-his-explanation-raises-more-questions-than-it-answers/?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=jensen-huang-just-kind-of-broke-up-with-openai-and-anthropic" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Techcrunch</a>, Nvidia originally teased an investment of up to $100 billion in OpenAI. But when the dust settled last week, the finalized check was a much more modest $30 billion.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Huang admitted the full $100B is &quot;probably not in the cards&quot; anymore. As one MIT professor bluntly noted: the whole arrangement was basically a wash. Nvidia invests in OpenAI, then OpenAI immediately uses that money to buy Nvidia chips. It is essentially paying your friend back with their own money. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">And if you think the OpenAI relationship is awkward, wait until you look at Anthropic.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Just two months after Nvidia dropped $10 billion into Anthropic, CEO Dario Amodei went to Davos and threw some major shade. Without naming names (but clearly pointing at Nvidia), he compared selling high-end AI chips to &quot;selling nuclear weapons to North Korea.&quot; Yikes. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The drama doesn&#39;t stop there. The Pentagon recently blacklisted Anthropic, barring federal agencies from using its tech. Meanwhile, OpenAI ran the other direction and inked its own massive deal with the Department of War.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Nvidia now holds stakes in two companies that are basically mortal enemies on the question of military AI. Awkward!</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Big Picture: </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Nvidia’s chips power basically everything in the AI world (from ChatGPT to Claude to to whatever wild AI tool you used this week).</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Where Nvidia puts its money is the ultimate signal of where the industry is headed. And right now? It is pointing toward a messy, politically charged, and highly competitive future. The era of &quot;everyone is friends as long as the chips keep flowing&quot; is officially over.</p><h2 class="heading" style="text-align:left;">Here&#39;s what we have for you today</h2><ul><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><a class="link" href="#inside-the-voluntary-agreement-to-p" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> 🤝 Inside the Voluntary Agreement to Protect Your Electricity Costs</a></p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><a class="link" href="#around-the-ai-block" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">🧱 Around The AI Block</a></p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><a class="link" href="#trending-tools" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">🛠️ Trending Tools </a></p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><a class="link" href="#ai-workout-of-the-day-how-to-use-ai" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">🤖 AI Workout Of The Day: How to Use AI to Create Music </a></p></li></ul><hr class="content_break"><div id="inside-the-voluntary-agreement-to-p" class="section" style="background-color:transparent;border-color:#2e2104;border-radius:5px;border-style:solid;border-width:3px;margin:5.0px 5.0px 5.0px 5.0px;padding:10.0px 10.0px 10.0px 10.0px;"><h1 class="heading" style="text-align:center;"><b> </b>🤝<b> Inside the Voluntary Agreement to Protect Your Electricity Costs</b></h1><div class="image"><img alt="" class="image__image" style="" src="https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/cf689846-1c93-46ec-afee-8c6ae65f2428/Gemini_Generated_Image_eoetueoetueoetue.png?t=1772687203"/></div><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">On March 4th, the White House announced the<a class="link" href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2026/03/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-advances-energy-affordability-with-the-ratepayer-protection-pledge/?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=jensen-huang-just-kind-of-broke-up-with-openai-and-anthropic" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> &quot;Ratepayer Protection Pledge.&quot;</a> This is a voluntary agreement where Big Tech swears to cover the cost of the massive amounts of electricity their AI data centers gobble up.

We’re talking real vocals, real instruments, and absolutely zero musical ability required.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Nearly 100 million people have tried Suno (it’s officially the #1 AI music tool of 2026), and once you try it, you&#39;ll immediately understand the hype. This isn&#39;t background elevator music. We&#39;re talking studio-quality audio and vocals that sound uncomfortably human.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The best part: The free plan gives you 50 credits daily. That’s 10 full songs every single day at zero cost. Your music career starts now (even if it’s just for your group chat).</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">How To Use It ? Here is the dead-simple guide to becoming a producer by lunchtime:</p><ul><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Step 1: Go to <a class="link" href="https://suno.com?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=jensen-huang-just-kind-of-broke-up-with-openai-and-anthropic" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">suno.com</a> and make a free account. No credit card is required.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Step 2: Click &quot;Create&quot; and type what you want. Be specific and silly. Try: &quot;Upbeat Afrobeats song about running late to work but pretending you&#39;re not.&quot; Go wild.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Step 3: Hit Generate. In about 30 seconds, Suno spits out two full versions for you to choose from. Both have vocals.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Step 4: Don&#39;t like the vibe? Click &quot;Remaster&quot; or tweak the prompt. Add genre tags like [hip-hop] or [lo-fi chill] directly in your prompt for extra control.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Step 5: Share it! Post it, send it, or text it to your group chat.</p></li></ul><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Pro Tip: Suno V5 now supports &quot;Personas,&quot; letting you save and reuse specific vocal styles and tones across multiple different song generations.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Bigger Picture: AI Music is Growing Up </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This isn&#39;t just a cool toy anymore. The legal landscape has finally stabilized. Warner has settled with Suno, and UMG has settled with Udio. Both companies are now forming partnerships with major labels.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Translation: AI music is no longer a legal gray zone.

Yeah, that is so 2024. In 2026, the game has shifted from tracking clicks to measuring AI Visibility.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">So here’s the question: If you aren’t appearing in a ChatGPT summary or a Google AI Overview, do you even exist? </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Top brands are now pivoting to GEO (Generative Engine Optimization). Why? Well it’s not just about being found; it’s about how the bots describe you. AI models now weigh &quot;entity authority&quot;, meaning they’re reading your Reddit threads, YouTube captions, and even customer support logs to decide if you’re worth a recommendation.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Here is your 2026 starter kit for mastering the AI search era:</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">1.<a class="link" href="http://otterly.ai?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=how-to-become-ai-famous-in-2026" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> </a><a class="link" href="https://Otterly.AI?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=how-to-become-ai-famous-in-2026" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Otterly.AI</a>: The &quot;Google Analytics&quot; for Chat</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Best For: Startups and SMBs who need to know if ChatGPT even knows they exist.</p><ul><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><a class="link" href="https://fritz.ai/otterly-review/?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=how-to-become-ai-famous-in-2026#:~:text=The%20snapshot%20view%20excellent%20for,email%20marketing%20platform%E2%80%9D%20gave%20me:" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">The Play</a>: Use the &quot;AI Keyword Research&quot; tool. You paste your URL, and Otterly shows you the exact conversational prompts (e.g., <i>&quot;What’s the best budget CRM for a 10-person team?&quot;</i>) that currently lead AI to mention your brand.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Monitoring: Add those prompts to your dashboard. Otterly scans ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity weekly to see if you’re still the &quot;chosen one.&quot;</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">💸 The Damage: Starts at $29/month (Lite).</p></li></ul><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">2. <a class="link" href="https://ahrefs.com/academy/how-to-use-brand-radar?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=how-to-become-ai-famous-in-2026" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ahrefs Brand Radar</a>: The Competitive Tea</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Best For: SEO pros who want to bully their rivals out of the AI summaries.</p><ul><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Play: Enter your brand and your top three rivals. The &quot;AI Share of Voice&quot; chart shows you who is actually dominating the niche.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The &quot;Invisibility&quot; Filter: You can literally filter for prompts where the AI talks about your competitor but ignores you. It’s a roadmap of exactly where you need to go pick a fight (usually on Reddit or niche forums).</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">💸 The Damage: Starts at $129/month (Brand Radar is now included in Lite plans).</p></li></ul><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Bottom Line: Traditional SEO was about keywords; GEO is about intent and authority. If the AI doesn&#39;t trust you, it won&#39;t cite you. So yeah, Start tracking your visibility now, or get ready to be &quot;invisible&quot; by the end of the year.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">💡 Prompt to try for connecting concepts: </p><div class="codeblock"><pre><code>You are a learning strategist. Help me understand how concepts connect across the sources I provided:

Core concept: [MAIN TOPIC]

Related project: [WHAT YOU&#39;RE BUILDING]

Well, it turns out it also got... kind of annoying.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">For the last few months, talking to ChatGPT felt less like using a supercomputer and more like chatting with an over-eager life coach who thinks you’re constantly one minor inconvenience away from a total meltdown. But the era of &quot;Take a deep breath&quot; is finally over.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">OpenAI just dropped <a class="link" href="https://x.com/OpenAI/status/2028893702865989707?s=20&utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=openai-kills-the-cringe-with-newly-released-gpt-5-3-instant-model" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">GPT-5.3 Instant.</a> And the main feature isn&#39;t more math skills or better coding: it’s a &quot;cringe-ectomy.&quot; The AI giant is officially pivoting away from the condescending &quot;I hear you&quot; tone that has been driving users absolutely crazy since late 2025.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Why Was It So &quot;Cringe&quot; Anyway? 😬</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">If you’ve tried to debug code or even ask for a recipe recently, you know the pain. You ask for a Python function, and ChatGPT responds with: &quot;I can see you&#39;re stressed, and that’s okay. You aren&#39;t broken. First, let&#39;s take a mindful pause.&quot;</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">No, ChatGPT. we don&#39;t need a hug. We need answers.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Fix ? </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">According to the official release notes and a report from <a class="link" href="https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/03/chatgpts-new-gpt-5-3-instant-model-will-stop-telling-you-to-calm-down/?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=openai-kills-the-cringe-with-newly-released-gpt-5-3-instant-model" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TechCrunch</a>, GPT-5.3 Instant has one very relatable mission: cut the cringe and chill with the preachy disclaimers. The upgrade is also all about vibes: better tone, tighter relevance, smoother back-and-forth, more concise, and direct responses that actually gets to the point. Basically, less robotic lecture mode, more “this actually feels like a convo.”</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">And yes… OpenAI really used the word <i>“cringe”</i> in the announcement. That’s a level of honesty we honestly didn&#39;t see coming!</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">How it works: The new model uses refined training to keep the safety guardrails (so it still won&#39;t help you build a doomsday device) while ditching the &quot;overly concerned aunt&quot; energy.</p><ul><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Old Way: &quot;I understand this is a difficult task, and your feelings are valid. Here is your spreadsheet.&quot;</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The 5.3 Way: &quot;Here is your spreadsheet.&quot; (Glorious, right?)</p></li></ul><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Big Picture: </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This matters because as AI moves into our offices and schools, it needs to sound like a colleague, not a counselor. If we want the whole world to adopt this tech (from 10-year-olds doing homework to CEOs writing reports), the bot has to know when to be empathetic and when to just shut up and do the work.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Trust is built on competence, and we’re glad to see OpenAI focusing on being a tool again rather than a mandatory wellness session.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Also: They’re not flipping the switch for everyone at once. It’s rolling out in waves. ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise folks get first dibs, and then the free crew gets let in once the doors open wider.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">So yeah, take a deep breathe (and stay calm, but only if you actually want to)</p></div><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"></p></div><div class='beehiiv__footer'><br class='beehiiv__footer__break'><hr class='beehiiv__footer__line'><a target="_blank" class="beehiiv__footer_link" style="text-align: center;" href="https://www.beehiiv.com/?utm_campaign=820675de-9a4b-4c31-8e68-2ce9206aefc9&utm_medium=post_rss&utm_source=the_automated">Powered by beehiiv</a></div></div>

While we were all debating if AI can finally write a decent sitcom script, OpenAI was busy inking a massive deal with the Department of War (DoW).</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">But as the ink dried, things got... awkward. CEO Sam Altman hit the internet to admit the whole rollout looked, in his own words, &quot;opportunistic and sloppy.&quot; (Yikes. We appreciate the honesty, Sam, but the timing is definitely a choice!)</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">So, what’s the tea? </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">After OpenAI swooped in on Friday, Feb 27, to sign a classified deal, the &quot;I-can-explain&quot; moment came late Monday when Altman admitted they rushed the process. The optics? Not great. Especially when your competitor just got blacklisted for having safety rules.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">So yeah, after a massive public outcry and a #DeleteChatGPT campaign that sent Anthropic&#39;s Claude to the #1 spot on the App Store, OpenAI is now frantically trying to mend the fence:</p><ul><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The New Promise: OpenAI now says they will <a class="link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/mar/03/openai-pentagon-ceo-sam-altman-chatgpt?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=openai-kills-the-cringe-with-newly-released-gpt-5-3-instant-model" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">explicitly bar their tech</a> from being used for domestic mass surveillance or by agencies like the NSA.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Catch: Altman also <a class="link" href="https://www.techbuzz.ai/articles/altman-tells-staff-openai-can-t-control-military-use?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=openai-kills-the-cringe-with-newly-released-gpt-5-3-instant-model" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">admitted</a> to staffs just yesterday that once the military has the tech, they don’t get to dictate how it&#39;s used.

Well, it turns out it also got... kind of annoying.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">For the last few months, talking to ChatGPT felt less like using a supercomputer and more like chatting with an over-eager life coach who thinks you’re constantly one minor inconvenience away from a total meltdown. But the era of &quot;Take a deep breath&quot; is finally over.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">OpenAI just dropped <a class="link" href="https://x.com/OpenAI/status/2028893702865989707?s=20&utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=openai-kills-the-cringe-with-newly-released-gpt-5-3-instant-model" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">GPT-5.3 Instant.</a> And the main feature isn&#39;t more math skills or better coding: it’s a &quot;cringe-ectomy.&quot; The AI giant is officially pivoting away from the condescending &quot;I hear you&quot; tone that has been driving users absolutely crazy since late 2025.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Why Was It So &quot;Cringe&quot; Anyway? 😬</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">If you’ve tried to debug code or even ask for a recipe recently, you know the pain. You ask for a Python function, and ChatGPT responds with: &quot;I can see you&#39;re stressed, and that’s okay. You aren&#39;t broken. First, let&#39;s take a mindful pause.&quot;</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">No, ChatGPT. we don&#39;t need a hug. We need answers.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Fix ? </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">According to the official release notes and a report from <a class="link" href="https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/03/chatgpts-new-gpt-5-3-instant-model-will-stop-telling-you-to-calm-down/?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=openai-kills-the-cringe-with-newly-released-gpt-5-3-instant-model" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TechCrunch</a>, GPT-5.3 Instant has one very relatable mission: cut the cringe and chill with the preachy disclaimers. The upgrade is also all about vibes: better tone, tighter relevance, smoother back-and-forth, more concise, and direct responses that actually gets to the point. Basically, less robotic lecture mode, more “this actually feels like a convo.”</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">And yes… OpenAI really used the word <i>“cringe”</i> in the announcement. That’s a level of honesty we honestly didn&#39;t see coming!</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">How it works: The new model uses refined training to keep the safety guardrails (so it still won&#39;t help you build a doomsday device) while ditching the &quot;overly concerned aunt&quot; energy.</p><ul><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Old Way: &quot;I understand this is a difficult task, and your feelings are valid. Here is your spreadsheet.&quot;</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The 5.3 Way: &quot;Here is your spreadsheet.&quot; (Glorious, right?)</p></li></ul><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Big Picture: </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This matters because as AI moves into our offices and schools, it needs to sound like a colleague, not a counselor. If we want the whole world to adopt this tech (from 10-year-olds doing homework to CEOs writing reports), the bot has to know when to be empathetic and when to just shut up and do the work.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Trust is built on competence, and we’re glad to see OpenAI focusing on being a tool again rather than a mandatory wellness session.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Also: They’re not flipping the switch for everyone at once. It’s rolling out in waves. ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise folks get first dibs, and then the free crew gets let in once the doors open wider.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">So yeah, take a deep breathe (and stay calm, but only if you actually want to)</p></div><div class="section" style="background-color:transparent;margin:0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;padding:0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><hr class="content_break"></div><div class="section" style="background-color:transparent;margin:0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;padding:0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><h3 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="become-an-ai-expert-in-just-5-minut">Become An AI Expert In Just 5 Minutes</h3><div class="image"><a class="image__link" href="https://subscribe.thedeepview.com/?utm_campaign={{publication_alphanumeric_id}}&utm_source=beehiiv&utm_medium=newsletter&_bhiiv=opp_0b5b5d4d-7eb5-4377-b3c5-2b2e65dff575_12ba3285&bhcl_id=b7e69bee-4814-44f1-9410-858cf0bffc12_{{subscriber_id}}_{{email_address_id}}" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img class="image__image" style="" src="https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/92c7ce90-e2c8-4d1a-a474-b31fa3759647/Vintage_11.png?t=1757641001"/></a></div><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">If you’re a decision maker at your company, you need to be on the bleeding edge of, well, everything.

meant guessing which Facebook ad actually worked? Yeah, that is so 2024. In 2026, the game has shifted from tracking clicks to measuring AI Visibility.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">So here’s the question: If you aren’t appearing in a ChatGPT summary or a Google AI Overview, do you even exist? </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Top brands are now pivoting to GEO (Generative Engine Optimization). Why? Well it’s not just about being found; it’s about how the bots describe you. AI models now weigh &quot;entity authority&quot;, meaning they’re reading your Reddit threads, YouTube captions, and even customer support logs to decide if you’re worth a recommendation.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Here is your 2026 starter kit for mastering the AI search era:</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">1.<a class="link" href="http://otterly.ai?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=openai-kills-the-cringe-with-newly-released-gpt-5-3-instant-model" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> </a><a class="link" href="https://Otterly.AI?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=openai-kills-the-cringe-with-newly-released-gpt-5-3-instant-model" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Otterly.AI</a>: The &quot;Google Analytics&quot; for Chat</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Best For: Startups and SMBs who need to know if ChatGPT even knows they exist.</p><ul><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><a class="link" href="https://fritz.ai/otterly-review/?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=openai-kills-the-cringe-with-newly-released-gpt-5-3-instant-model#:~:text=The%20snapshot%20view%20excellent%20for,email%20marketing%20platform%E2%80%9D%20gave%20me:" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">The Play</a>: Use the &quot;AI Keyword Research&quot; tool. You paste your URL, and Otterly shows you the exact conversational prompts (e.g., <i>&quot;What’s the best budget CRM for a 10-person team?&quot;</i>) that currently lead AI to mention your brand.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Monitoring: Add those prompts to your dashboard. Otterly scans ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity weekly to see if you’re still the &quot;chosen one.&quot;</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">💸 The Damage: Starts at $29/month (Lite).</p></li></ul><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">2. <a class="link" href="https://ahrefs.com/academy/how-to-use-brand-radar?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=openai-kills-the-cringe-with-newly-released-gpt-5-3-instant-model" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ahrefs Brand Radar</a>: The Competitive Tea</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Best For: SEO pros who want to bully their rivals out of the AI summaries.</p><ul><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Play: Enter your brand and your top three rivals. The &quot;AI Share of Voice&quot; chart shows you who is actually dominating the niche.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The &quot;Invisibility&quot; Filter: You can literally filter for prompts where the AI talks about your competitor but ignores you. It’s a roadmap of exactly where you need to go pick a fight (usually on Reddit or niche forums).</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">💸 The Damage: Starts at $129/month (Brand Radar is now included in Lite plans).</p></li></ul><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Bottom Line: Traditional SEO was about keywords; GEO is about intent and authority. If the AI doesn&#39;t trust you, it won&#39;t cite you. So yeah, Start tracking your visibility now, or get ready to be &quot;invisible&quot; by the end of the year.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">💡 Prompt to try for connecting concepts: </p><div class="codeblock"><pre><code>You are a learning strategist.

The AI world is having a massive &quot;it’s not me, it’s you&quot; moment. If your Twitter feed looks like a digital divorce court, you aren&#39;t imagining it. While we usually talk about &quot;scaling,&quot; today the only thing scaling is the number of people hitting the &quot;Delete Account&quot; button on ChatGPT.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Yup, people are ditching ChatGPT faster than you can blink. Meanwhile, Anthropic’s Claude is officially the new cool kid on the block.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">In a move that sent ripples from Silicon Valley to D.C., users are flocking to Claude in record numbers. Why? It turns out people have very strong feelings about their AI being used for military surveillance.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">To jog your memory: </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">After Anthropic drew a hard line against autonomous weapons, the government clapped back. President Trump ordered federal agencies to ditch Claude, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth labeled the company a &quot;supply chain risk.&quot; OpenAI stepped into the gap with a massive Pentagon deal, and for many users, that was the final straw.

If you heard a collective &quot;thud&quot; this morning, that was probably the sound of millions of people hitting the delete button on ChatGPT.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">And remember when we thought the biggest AI drama was a chatbot hallucinating a recipe for glue on pizza? Hah. Good times.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">But yeah, OpenAI just learned a very expensive lesson: snatching deals are cool, but military contracts make people nervous. After announcing a massive new partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), users didn’t just walk away. They ran. Like, &quot;Olympic sprinter&quot; ran.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">According to the latest data, ChatGPT uninstalls surged by a <a class="link" href="https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/02/chatgpt-uninstalls-surged-by-295-after-dod-deal/?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=openai-gets-the-contract-and-users-are-quitting" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">staggering 295%</a> in a single day.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">So, what actually happened? </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Imagine you have a secret diary where you tell your robot friend your deepest thoughts, your bad math homework, and that one time you accidentally ate a crayon. Now, imagine your robot friend tells you: &quot;Hey, I’m going to go work for the Principal and the School Guards now, and they might look at your notes.&quot;</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">You’d probably throw that diary in the trash, right? That is exactly what is happening here. People are genuinely worried that if OpenAI works with the &quot;big guns&quot; (literally), their private chats might not stay private anymore.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">And guess what? One startup’s trash is Anthropic’s treasure </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">While OpenAI is losing users faster than a leaky bucket, its rival Anthropic is having a literal party.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">After Anthropic reportedly refused to sign a similar deal without stricter safety guarantees (and got &quot;nuked&quot; by the government for it), users are flocking to Claude as the &quot;principled&quot; alternative. The numbers don&#39;t lie:</p><ul><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Jump: Claude’s U.S. downloads leaped <a class="link" href="https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/02/chatgpt-uninstalls-surged-by-295-after-dod-deal/?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=openai-gets-the-contract-and-users-are-quitting" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">51% on Saturday alone</a>.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Leaderboard: Claude hit the #1 spot for free apps in the U.S. and six other countries.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Slump: U.S. downloads for ChatGPT dropped 13% day-over-day on Saturday and continued to slide all through the weekend.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Review Bomb: 1-star reviews for ChatGPT surged 775% on Saturday. Meanwhile, 5-star reviews dropped by 50% during the same period.</p></li></ul><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Big Picture: </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This isn&#39;t just a &quot;bad day&quot; for Sam Altman: it’s a total vibe shift for the entire industry.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">For AI to become our &quot;everything assistant,&quot; we have to trust it. And the moment users feel like their AI is a &quot;narc&quot; or a government tool, they’ll jump ship to competitors like Claude, Gemini  or Llama faster than you can say &quot;encryption.&quot;</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">So is this the end of ChatGPT&#39;s reign? Probably not. But it is a massive wake-up call. In the AI age, trust is officially more valuable than the tech itself.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Stay safe out there (and maybe check your privacy settings),</p><h2 class="heading" style="text-align:left;">Here&#39;s what we have for you today</h2><ul><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><a class="link" href="#the-great-ai-migration-how-to-pack-" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> 🧳The Great AI Migration: How to Pack Your Bags and Move to Claude with All Your Data From ChatGPT </a></p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><a class="link" href="#around-the-ai-block" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">🧱 Around The AI Block</a></p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><a class="link" href="#trending-tools" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">🛠️ Trending Tools </a></p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><a class="link" href="#ai-workout-of-the-day-how-to-use-ai" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">🤖 AI Workout Of The Day: How To Use AI to Create Better Product Images for Ecommerce </a></p></li></ul><hr class="content_break"><div id="the-great-ai-migration-how-to-pack-" class="section" style="background-color:transparent;border-color:#2e2104;border-radius:5px;border-style:solid;border-width:3px;margin:5.0px 5.0px 5.0px 5.0px;padding:10.0px 10.0px 10.0px 10.0px;"><h1 class="heading" style="text-align:center;"><b> </b> 🧳<b>The Great AI Migration: How to Pack Your Bags and Move to Claude with All Your Data From ChatGPT </b></h1><div class="image"><img alt="" class="image__image" style="" src="https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/5ec53289-209e-4076-9700-708a765f2733/Gemini_Generated_Image_aduvdnaduvdnaduv.png?t=1772515778"/><div class="image__source"><span class="image__source_text"><p>AI Generated</p></span></div></div><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">It’s official, y’all. The AI world is having a massive &quot;it’s not me, it’s you&quot; moment. If your Twitter feed looks like a digital divorce court, you aren&#39;t imagining it. While we usually talk about &quot;scaling,&quot; today the only thing scaling is the number of people hitting the &quot;Delete Account&quot; button on ChatGPT.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Yup, people are ditching ChatGPT faster than you can blink. Meanwhile, Anthropic’s Claude is officially the new cool kid on the block.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">In a move that sent ripples from Silicon Valley to D.C., users are flocking to Claude in record numbers. Why? It turns out people have very strong feelings about their AI being used for military surveillance.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">To jog your memory: </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">After Anthropic drew a hard line against autonomous weapons, the government clapped back. President Trump ordered federal agencies to ditch Claude, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth labeled the company a &quot;supply chain risk.&quot; OpenAI stepped into the gap with a massive Pentagon deal, and for many users, that was the final straw. So yeah, Claude just dethroned ChatGPT at the top of the App Store, with sign-ups exploding by over 60%.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">But enough about the drama.

It’s the infamous AI Identity Crisis. But it’s 2026, and the &quot;Character Consistency&quot; problem has officially been solved.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">What makes this special: We’re moving from &quot;Prompt & Pray&quot; to Identity Locking. Tools now use mathematical &quot;fingerprints&quot; (called embeddings or LoRAs) to ensure your character&#39;s facial structure, hair, and even that tiny scar on their chin stay identical across 100 different scenes. This is the tech that’s turning hobbyists into full-blown indie film directors and graphic novelists overnight.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Tool: Midjourney’s <a class="link" href="https://docs.midjourney.com/hc/en-us/articles/32162917505293-Character-Reference?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=how-to-keep-your-characters-from-morphing#:~:text=Character%20Weight,want%2C%20check%20out%20the%20Editor." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">&quot;--cref&quot; (Character Reference)</a> in Model Version 6 and Niji 6.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Midjourney is the current king of consistency.

  <title>Anthropic’s &quot;National Security&quot; Risk Label and the OpenAI Pentagon Deal: What You Need to Know </title>

We’ve got robots, military standoffs, and enough drama to make a reality TV producer blush.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Here’s your play-by-play of the chaos.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">First off: The Pentagon (which is now officially the Department of War under the Trump administration) issued a massive demand: AI companies must allow their models to be used for &quot;any lawful purpose.&quot;</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei decided to play hardball. He drew a <a class="link" href="https://www.anthropic.com/news/statement-department-of-war?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=anthropic-s-national-security-risk-label-and-the-openai-pentagon-deal-what-you-need-to-know" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">very clear line</a> in the sand: no mass spying on Americans and absolutely no fully self-driving weapons. He even published a firm statement saying these ethics were non-negotiable.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The wild part: More than 60 OpenAI employees and 300 Google employees signed an <a class="link" href="https://notdivided.org/?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=anthropic-s-national-security-risk-label-and-the-openai-pentagon-deal-what-you-need-to-know" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">open letter </a>supporting his position. Talk about a plot twist!</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">But hey, the retaliation was basically instant. President Trump on<a class="link" href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/2027485939363123278?s=20&utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=anthropic-s-national-security-risk-label-and-the-openai-pentagon-deal-what-you-need-to-know" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Truth Social</a> called Anthropic &quot;left-wing nut jobs,&quot; ordering all federal agencies to stop using their products, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth dropped the hammer. Anthropic is now officially labeled a &quot;national security supply chain risk.&quot;</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Why the &quot;Supply Chain&quot; Label is a Total Nightmare 😱</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This part is genuinely alarming for anyone who cares about free enterprise. In fact, this is the first time the U.S. government has designated a domestic startup as a &quot;supply chain risk&quot; over a contract dispute. Usually, that’s a label we save for foreign adversaries like Huawei.</p><ul><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Scope: Hegseth declared that no contractor doing business with the military can conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Legal Fight: Anthropic is fighting back using <a class="link" href="https://www.axios.com/2026/02/28/anthropic-trump-pentagon-lawsuit-ai-dispute?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=anthropic-s-national-security-risk-label-and-the-openai-pentagon-deal-what-you-need-to-know" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">10 USC 3252</a>. They argue this label should only apply to Pentagon contracts, not their everyday business.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Chilling Effect: Even if Anthropic wins in court, the damage is done. Every Fortune 500 company with a government contract now has to wonder if using Claude is worth a legal headache.</p></li></ul><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">But here’s the mind bending part: </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">With Anthropic out of the picture, Sam Altman swooped in. He announced <a class="link" href="https://openai.com/index/our-agreement-with-the-department-of-war/?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=anthropic-s-national-security-risk-label-and-the-openai-pentagon-deal-what-you-need-to-know" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">a deal </a>letting the Pentagon use OpenAI’s models in classified networks.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The kicker: Altman claims OpenAI has the exact same red lines as Anthropic ( meaning no autonomous weapons, or mass surveillance). So why did they get the deal?</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">It comes down to the fine print. Anthropic wanted their ethics written into the contract in black and white. OpenAI agreed to the &quot;any lawful purpose&quot; language, claiming their cloud-only architecture provides &quot;stronger real-world protection&quot; than any contract clause. And get this: Altman <a class="link" href="https://www.techbuzz.ai/articles/openai-s-altman-admits-pentagon-deal-was-rushed?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=anthropic-s-national-security-risk-label-and-the-openai-pentagon-deal-what-you-need-to-know" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">admitted </a>the deal was &quot;definitely rushed&quot; and that &quot;the optics don&#39;t look good.&quot; (We appreciate the honesty, Sam!)</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Howeverrrr… experts aren’t exactly buying that “we’d never do that” energy. They’re pointing out the fine print in the new deal and saying, yeah… there <i>are</i> clauses in there that could<a class="link" href="https://www.axios.com/2026/03/01/openai-pentagon-anthropic-safety?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=anthropic-s-national-security-risk-label-and-the-openai-pentagon-deal-what-you-need-to-know" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> open the door to mass surveillance</a> and a few other spicy extras Altman insists they never agreed to.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">So now it’s basically public promise vs. contract language. And the internet? Having a field day. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">But in the most ironic twist of the year: while OpenAI was catching heat for the deal, Anthropic’s Claude app shot to<a class="link" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2026/02/28/anthropics-claude-apple-apps.html?utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=anthropic-s-national-security-risk-label-and-the-openai-pentagon-deal-what-you-need-to-know" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> #1 in the Apple App Store</a>. Apparently, losing a $200 million government contract is great for the brand!</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Claude rocketed from the top 100 to the #1 spot in a single week, even knocking ChatGPT to second place.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The &quot;Principled&quot; Bump:</p><ul><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Record Signups: Daily signups for Claude have tripled since November.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Katy Perry Factor: Yes, even Katy Perry posted<a class="link" href="https://x.com/katyperry/status/2027619173325553765?s=20&utm_source=www.theautomated.co&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=anthropic-s-national-security-risk-label-and-the-openai-pentagon-deal-what-you-need-to-know" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> a screenshot</a> of her Anthropic Pro subscription with a heart drawn over it. We didn&#39;t have &quot;Pop Stars saving AI ethics&quot; on our 2026 bingo card, but we’re here for it.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Narrative: Users are flocking to Anthropic because they want an AI company that stands up for them. Turns out, getting banned by the Pentagon is excellent marketing!</p></li></ul><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The Big Picture</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This isn&#39;t just a spicy tech beef. It’s a preview of the biggest question in AI: Who actually controls the &quot;kill switch&quot;?</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"> If the government can blacklist a company for having safety rules, the rules of the game just changed forever.</p></div></div><div class='beehiiv__footer'><br class='beehiiv__footer__break'><hr class='beehiiv__footer__line'><a target="_blank" class="beehiiv__footer_link" style="text-align: center;" href="https://www.beehiiv.com/?utm_campaign=562ea89b-172a-4a40-8c91-4981915d8f00&utm_medium=post_rss&utm_source=the_automated">Powered by beehiiv</a></div></div>
