I call it the upgrade tax. You can feel it before every big announcement, the tool gets a bit slow, a bit buggy, things are not broke... but not right. I'm already starting to see it as I work in my favorite local coffee shop this morning. Well, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, issued an internal code red because rival systems like Google’s Gemini and Anthropic’s Claude are rapidly closing the quality gap and, in some benchmarks, surpassing ChatGPT. In response, OpenAI is shifting people and priorities to a companywide sprint to make ChatGPT faster, more reliable, and more personalized, while even delaying other product launches and ad plans with the promise of rolling out ChatGPT 5.2 on TUESDAY. Yes, in just a few days... For me personally, I would prefer they take a bit more time and ensure everything is working... Right? And I'm not alone. X(twitter) is blowing up with the gossip. While I'm not usually an alarmist... this makes me nervous and so I'm making a plan. My clients deserve to understand what is happening and need a plan to keep things moving. Here's what I am doing to prepare: 1. Choose a number 2 platform if ChatGPT is your go to. Most people choose Claude or Gemini. For me I have a workspace account in Google, so I will be using Gemini. 2. Make an announcement to all my CustomGPT customers just letting them know that any issues with the GPTs will be temporary. I will be moving my most popular ones into my pickaxe account to keep everything up and running if things go bad. (Not an absolute must, but its been on my to do list, so lets go!) 3. If you are a tool creator, have a plan. What does this mean? So if you are selling on pickaxe (or another builder platform), test a backup platform. This is a great practice anyway since they all go down from time to time. If one goes down you will always know your plan. (And another big pro of building on Pickaxe! The option to change models if one goes down.) I am excited to see what they bring and nervous about the rush. And overall I'm hearing great things about this upgrade.

If l have been blinded side it’s not my intention But the value of community is key And conversations of sharing Finding your feet Help with teaching and understanding of complexities Setting up clones Experts at Hand Dean/ Tony and the many many more in our community Learning a new language connections in and out Makes every day a better one from the last YOU ALL ROCK

Use this ChatGPT prompt to help you eliminate noise & distractions, so you can focus on what's most important to achieving your goal: “I’m stuck at the starting line. Based on everything you know about me… acting as my brutally honest entrepreneur coach, ask me questions one at a time, until you can successfully diagnose the ONE mindset block most likely holding me back. Then reframe it. Finally, compress my 90-day plan into a 2-week 'proof sprint' that proves I can succeed and helps me create a bias for action.” 🚀🚀

I love AI. I really do. It's so helpful. If you'd like my prompt, your account must be one I trust... such as @AI Advantage Team and the obvious others here who have clearly displayed results before now. I will not post this one publicly, for obvious reasons... but it's one we need in today's atmosphere. State your desire. I will review your account and share the prompt via DM with those I feel will be responsible with it. Merry Christmas 🎄
