Other people's opinions are not instructions. Especially the ones from people who don't pay you green American dollars.
Today on Businessing, Pat unpacks the AI story trifecta: ChatGPT's leaner GPT-5.5 Instant base model, Anthropic's SpaceX compute deal that doubles Claude's usage windows and removes peak-hour throttling, and a researcher's fake eye disease that fooled ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot into telling people to see a doctor. He runs an Idea Slam on the Monday-pumped, Wednesday-overwhelmed cycle, breaks down a 189,000 weekly jobless claims number (lowest since 1969) and what it means if you're hiring part-time help, and unveils the final SBOC '26 reveal: the VIP program with a one-hour Ask Me Anything with Mike Michalowicz and a three-hour Friday session with Matt Mundt of Hug Sleep, who turned a $25,000 investment into $30M+ in lifetime revenue.
