Is ChatGPT Your Next OS?

Here's a brief recap of OpenAI's DevDay that took place in San Francisco this past Monday, October 6.

DevDay 2025 marks a huge pivot in how we’ll interact with AI going forward. Here are the biggest ways DevDay sets a new course for AI interaction modes:

• ChatGPT as an App Platform: ChatGPT isn’t just a chatbot anymore—it’s morphing into an “AI OS.” With the new App SDK, you’ll launch, use, and switch between apps (think Canva, Zillow, or any custom tool) inside a single AI conversation. Your chat can stream in real results, real-time dashboards, and custom workflows—no separate logins, tabs, or clunky integrations.
  

• Rise of AI Agents: “AgentKit” and the Agent SDK turn AI into an action taker rather than just a question answerer. Agents can launch tasks, automate multi-step processes, route results between apps, and even ask for human feedback when needed. In the future, you’ll tell your AI to “handle my mortgage shopping” or “organize my podcast interviews”—and it’ll do the legwork while checking in for approvals.
  

• Seamless Multimodal Interactions: Sora 2 and the new voice models mean you can switch from text to voice to video instantly. ChatGPT will respond with visuals, generate custom video clips, or hold fluid phone-like conversations much faster and cheaper than before. Multimodal AI isn’t a separate app—it’s native now to every experience.
  

• Personalization and Workflows: With fine-tuning, app streaming, and new API endpoints, AIs interact more like digital assistants who remember your preferences, manage data across apps, and automate things in the background. The model adapts as you use it, blurring the line between “AI tool” and “AI teammate”.
  

• Developers as Distributors: Anyone—coder or not—can now build and publish apps and agents, instantly available in ChatGPT. This changes the game from “waiting for a big SaaS release” to “grab it in ChatGPT, right now.” It democratizes what AI can do and who can launch useful tools.

Bottom line: The old “one AI, one function” world is over. DevDay’s upgrades turn ChatGPT into a control hub for work, creativity, and automation. Interactions will be woven between apps, voice, agents, and user intent—and most importantly, will be accessible to people who never thought they could build with AI.

Get ready for AI that acts, remembers, creates, and connects—all in one flow. The future of AI interaction is hands-on, multimodal, and built around you.

Netflix Wants You to Fix Their AI

• Netflix Is Paying Top Dollar to Fix—and Supercharge—AI: This month, Netflix made headlines by offering salaries up to $700,000 (and even $840,000 for gaming roles) for AI experts, fully remote. 

• They're hiring generative AI product managers, heads of AI for gaming, and infrastructure engineers to lead their Productivity Assistant team and gaming studio overhaul.
  

• What’s Broken? Internal Productivity, Gaming Ambition, and More: Netflix wants someone to “shape and execute the roadmap for generative AI solutions designed to enhance productivity across Netflix.” 

• That means building better tools for their 13,000 employees—not just fixing recommendation algorithms but optimizing workflows and integrating AI into everything from team chats to scheduling and creative work.

• The hires are part of a bigger play: Netflix is embedding GenAI and LLMs across its entire business, from personalized recommendations to content production, visual effects, localization, and now, game design.

• The Head of GenAI for Gaming will invent entirely new game experiences with AI-native features.
  

• Why the Crazy Paychecks? Netflix is matching Silicon Valley giants on salary to lure top-tier talent. They want experts who can lead big change management efforts, collaborate closely with engineering and ethics teams, and really “move the needle” where previous efforts may have stalled. Candidates need deep know-how in training, fine-tuning, and scaling AI solutions for enterprise use.
  

• Bottom Line: Netflix isn’t just hiring for consumer-facing AI fixes—they’re racing to fix process bottlenecks, streamline operations, and redefine what entertainment platforms can do with AI, betting that internal productivity and gaming innovation are where the next big wins will happen.

Netflix is ramping up its AI efforts, investing Silicon Valley-level funds, and going remote-only—because the future of entertainment should begin on your couch, driven by smarter bots.

BuhBye Windows 10

The End of an Era—And Your Grandma’s Laptop”

So, it’s official: Microsoft is pulling the plug on Windows 10 next October. That’s right — the operating system that’s been running everything from your office PC to your aunt’s embroidery machine is finally getting its pink slip.

Microsoft says it’s “time to upgrade,” which is corporate-speak for “buy a new computer or we’ll let the hackers in.”Because without security updates, your faithful old Dell becomes a digital piñata for ransomware.

Of course, they’ll still sell you “Extended Security Updates” — at a price. Think of it as Windows’ version of life support: pay a subscription to keep your outdated OS breathing a little longer while you swear you’ll migrate to Windows 11 “next weekend.”

Meanwhile, millions of people — especially in the UK — are about to learn that their “perfectly fine” laptop from 2016 isn’t compatible with the new system. Surprise! Planned obsolescence is alive, well, and apparently downloading patches in the background.

So, pour one out for Windows 10: the system that gave us dark mode, tiles nobody used, and more forced restarts than we can count.

Goodbye, old friend. You blue-screened us more times than we deserved, but we’ll miss you anyway.
