People on X shitting all over OpenAI for months, then ChatGPT Health drops: builds on and will expand high health use, will have huge beneficial impact, and is hard to copy (privacy, security, regulatory; not coming to Grok or Claude anytime soon). Critics seem oddly quiet.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Structure: Hook
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact

Attorney General Pamela Bondi

At my direction, early this morning federal agents arrested Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy, in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. More details soon.

For those confused why the US state and Silicon Valley are having a meltdown on twitter today. China released multiple AI models that are 50x more efficient than the best American AI models and made them open source, ruining the AI market

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

I am very excited about AI, but to go off-script for a minute: I built an app with Codex last week. It was very fun. Then I started asking it for ideas for new features and at least a couple of them were better than I was thinking of. I felt a little useless and it was sad.

Hi! I'm one of the prompt writers that worked on this ad. It's a lot harder than people think! Prompts that my team used include: -make it funny -make it epic AND funny -funnier!!! Please be nice to my team as many of them will be laid off/replaced by AI

It’s patently absurd that Apple isn’t smart enough to make their own AI, yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security & privacy! Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI. They’re selling you down the river.

More from Simon Smith

Example of why this is a big deal: ChatGPT reads a patient's EHR records from Epic, then finds trials for which they're eligible in ClinicalTrials_gov. A lot of trials don't get filled because it's hard to find eligible patients.

The new UI for app discovery in ChatGPT (chatgpt_com/apps) is SO much better. We can search now and see more details for each app. Next up I'd love to see reviews. As the number of apps grows, that will be essential.
