☕️ A Special Edition of AI Tangle

This week I’m trying to take a vacation—which for me means packing books. Normally, AI Tangle keeps things short and tactical. But vacations call for reading that’s less technical and more entertaining. This week, you get both.

First: I’ve pulled together last week’s major OpenAI announcements—complete with a detailed GPT-5 vs. Agent Mode comparison and a curated set of expert takes from across the web. It’s all in my latest post at The Artificially Intelligent Enterprise.

Second: After training thousands of people through my agency, Peripety Labs, I’ve learned one thing—people want to know how AI really works. So I wrote The Human Signal, a techno-thriller that explains the concepts while telling a fast-moving story. You can read the first nine chapters now—perfect for a cross-country flight or a lazy day on the beach.

Read the analysis. Then read the novel. Both will make you sharper, one will keep you turning pages.

[Don't worry we'll back to our regular publishing schedule later this week but for now I hope you enjoy the summer or whatever season you are in around the world.]

Round Up of ChatGPT Updates

As a rule, I don’t publish anything unless I’ve done a good bit of research on the topic.

But I don’t like rules.

So this week, I am breaking that rule.

I wanted to cover the changes that ChatGPT made last week, because many people are saying this is the most significant change since ChatGPT went live, and people are seeing big changes in their interface.

I have been playing with GPT-5 and Agent Mode, but not as broadly as I would like, so I decided to add my color and curate the results from others to get a better perspective.

So here’s an extra-long but informative edition of The Artificially Intelligent Enterprise.
