Welcome, dear creative soul — yes, you. 🌸 Whether you’ve just arrived or have been quietly walking beside us for a while, this space was created for you — the dreamers, makers, writers, and wonderers ready to rediscover their creative rhythm. I began this community with a simple wish: to gather kindred spirits who believe that art is more than a hobby — it’s a way of living awake. So, will you: 🍎 Introduce yourself — tell us a little about your creative path and, if you’d like, share a photo of your creative space. We love seeing where the magic happens! 🍎 Share an artist, writer, or creative entrepreneur who inspires you — ancient, modern, or living within you. (Mine are Niki de St. Phalle and Henri Matisse!) And to the quiet ones reading this from the edges — I see you. 🌙Your presence here matters. Even if you never post a word, your energy contributes to the circle. When you’re ready to say hello, I'll be here, happy to welcome you. This is a season of art, heart, and inspiration — a gathering of souls remembering their creative light. Here’s to the artist in all of us —Bright Blessings, Kisma

There’s a lot going on behind the scenes at OpenAI and with ChatGPT beyond what we see in the UI. I’ll try to convey what I can see from publicly-shared information — and note where things are murky or speculative. ✅ What we do know Here are some of the major facts and plans: • Structural / governance changes - OpenAI was originally founded as a nonprofit, and the nonprofit still oversees the for-profit arm. OpenAI - As of May 2025, OpenAI’s for-profit LLC is transitioning into a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC). That means it has to consider both shareholder interests and its founding mission (ensuring beneficial AGI). OpenAI - The nonprofit retains control (and remains a large shareholder) of the PBC. OpenAI - So one takeaway: the “take-over” notion may be a bit off — rather, it’s an evolution of structure to scale and stay mission-oriented. • Product & model roadmap - OpenAI has announced its next major model: GPT‑5.1 (November 2025) with two “modes”: Instant (faster, for everyday use) and Thinking (for more complex tasks). OpenAI+1 - They’re making it easier to customize the tone/personality of ChatGPT: e.g., presets like “Friendly”, “Professional”, “Quirky”. Also finer controls like how “warm” or “scannable” responses are. OpenAI - On the product vision side: OpenAI wants ChatGPT to be more than just a chat interface — to become a kind of “operating system” or central assistant for tasks, apps, commerce. For example, embed within ChatGPT the ability to buy things, invoke other apps, use agents. WIRED+1 - They launched a feature called ChatGPT Pulse (Sept 2025) — designed to be more proactive: personalized updates, reminders, context-aware help (not just you ask, it answers, but it nudges you). OpenAI - Infrastructure & scale: OpenAI is planning massive expansion of compute/infrastructure (servers, data-centers) to support this next wave. ctech+1
