News of the Day

The launch of OpenAI's latest model, GPT-4o, has significantly increased consumer demand, driving the company's largest revenue spike on mobile devices despite the model being freely available on the web. GPT-4o, released last Monday, enhances capabilities in text, speech, and video, featuring real-time responsiveness and emotive voice options. Though free on the web, mobile users must subscribe to the $19.99 monthly ChatGPT Plus to access GPT-4o, leading to a surge in subscriptions. Appfigures data shows the ChatGPT app's net revenue jumped 22% on launch day, reaching $900,000 on Tuesday, with a total of $4.2 million in net revenue over the week, reflecting high consumer interest in advanced AI technology on mobile platforms.

There is work you seek and work that comes to you. Or proactive and reactive work.
Reactive work is a mirage of productivity.
The highest impact works actually stems from work you seek.
The more proactive you are, the more effective you will be.
