ChatGPT is putting ads into image generation.
Small US test in late October. Ads show up separately, labeled, and don't touch your generated image.
Also: OpenAI is barring competing image tools from running ads in ChatGPT.

Gemini's plans just got overhauled.
Free users: three models down to Flash-Lite only, context cut to 32K. The $4.99/mo AI Plus tier loses Pro too. Quotas are now opaque compute metering, with a 5-hour refresh and a weekly cap, and running dry drops you back to Flash-Lite. API and CLI untouched.
Started using muse. The machine is a bit weak, forget dev, even
heavy office work is a stretch. Its only real job is life assistant. Estimated monthly tokens: free tier ~1B, $20 plan 2B, $100 plan 12B. Sign-up is simple: clean US IP plus a USD bank card for the $1 verification charge. Roll your own fingerprint browser or use a cloud one (Gemini Spark's browser, browser-use, hyperbrowser). The grok bot browser won't get you in, it goes straight to the waitlist.
I stuffed an agent into an Android phone.
You've probably run into those short videos lately where an agent drives a phone around by itself. This one is called Mika, and it's a free open-source project. It's an Android app that works in the background through accessibility mode, so it can use pretty much any other app you have installed. Reply to someone on WeChat, scroll Xiaohongshu, drop something in a cart and check out. It finds the buttons by looking at the screen. There's no API to wire up, and it doesn't care what resolution your phone is. When it reaches a payment step or a captcha it stops and lets you finish. 🔗 github.com/wangzan101/Mika
My product went profitable, and something in me broke.
Someone on Xiaohongshu posted a while back that she sells phone keyboard skins she made with Codex. Eight, ten yuan a pack. Over a thousand a month. I've been at mine for months. October: a few hundred copies, $1,200 gross. Platform fee 30%, tax 10%, so 60% should have landed. It came to just over a thousand dollars. I still don't know how the math pulled that off. I have an overseas bank account. Once lost $500 to a wire transfer off one. I'd still tell you to take payout through WorldFirst: less hassle, lower fees. You can also get a Hong Kong USD credit card tied to it that spends your WorldFirst balance directly. Digital card is free. Physical is $4. Mainland purchases under ¥200 skip the processing fee, and right now there's 1% cashback.
