Big day for running into my favorite reporter friends! Had a great time on the AI reporting panel with Forbes' Rashi Shrivastava & TechCrunch's Rebecca Bellan, moderated by Tech:NYC's Julie Samuels at Haymaker's Media Summit yesterday, ahead of Alex Heath's Sources launch event.

Had a blast as a guest on Vox's Today Explained podcast yesterday (which I found out, from college friends texting me, that you can also hear on NPR in your car)!

Thanks for having me on to chat about AI-generated video. www.vox.com/today-explai...

Had a blast on CBS News Los Angeles this morning! We talked about GPT-5, its strengths & weaknesses, the backlash over OpenAI's removal of the previous model and what's next for the industry.
