Claude is offering an extra-usage discount you can buy on demand. How to find it: just type /extra-usage in the terminal and hit enter and it will take you to the page to buy extra usage. The pricing: - $50 → Save 10% ($45.00 total) - $250 → Save 20% - $1,000 → Save 30% - Custom amount available The bulk discounts make sense if you're in the middle of a big project and can't afford to wait. The charges go to your saved payment method immediately, so you can get back to work without interruption. Just something to know about if you see that limit warning pop up mid-project.

I had a conversation with a friend recently that stuck with me. “I asked ChatGPT how to keep a conversation going.” 💬 What? Why? “Small talk,” they said. They’re the kind of person who shows up, listens, and pays attention. But when there’s an opening to jump into a conversation, they don’t always take it. Not because they don’t have anything to say. More because they’re not always sure where to go next. So they tried something different. 🌱 A few years ago, that probably would have sounded unusual. Now it doesn’t. What stood out wasn’t the question itself. It was what it replaced. This is the kind of thing people used to: - Ask a friend about - Talk through with a mentor - Work out over time through trial and error Now they’re opening a phone or a laptop and starting there instead. 🔄 We talked through a simple example. Someone says: “I went golfing yesterday.” ⛳ Most people go here: - “What did you shoot?” Which is fine. But it often ends quickly. Instead, ChatGPT suggested shifting the direction: - “How did you get into golf?” - “Do you play regularly?” - “What do you enjoy most about it?” Same moment. More momentum. 🏌️‍♂️ They told me the difference wasn’t dramatic. They didn’t suddenly become outgoing. They just didn’t get stuck. They stayed in conversations a little longer. Asked a few better questions. Moved past that pause where things usually stop. And that points to something bigger. 💡 People are using AI for the kinds of personal conversations. Not to replace human input. To prepare for it. They’re using it to: - Think through problems logically - Remove emotion before responding - Practice conversations before they happen - Get quick advice It is not for final answers. It is to gain clarity - and confidence. And that’s the shift. 🎯 AI isn’t just helping people produce. It’s helping them process. ✨ That's AI in Real Life.

I read an article titled “how much do students at Yale actually use AI for school work? There was a study done using Fizz, an anonymous polling app. So, the question was presented and thousands of students responded and the results were remarkable to anyone who has preconceived ideas about the way Yale students learn. 75% reported using ChatGPT. More than 1/3 admitted using it to write essays. 25%reported using it to complete half their academic work. Later they polled an additional 400 students about whether they knew about Yale’s official artificial intelligence guidelines, which can be found on the website of the university’s Porvoo Center for Teaching and Learning. Eighty-eight percent were unaware of them. In the process of researching the story, they found more Fizz polls other students had conducted. In one of them, more than 3,000 students, or nearly half the undergraduates at Yale, responded. Eighty-four percent reported using ChatGPT, an even higher percentage than my earlier polls suggested. I use ChatGPT to edit my stories for my book, so I found this article interesting and wanted to share it.

I love in recap, a great analogy regarding ChatGPT, which is the car you drive, your instructions are the steering wheel, guiding you where the car goes. Of course, I'm from the motor city! 😏

You can now set your prompt bar to red, blue, green, yellow, purple, orange, pink, or cyan. I run multiple Claude Code sessions at the same time. Different projects, different repos, different contexts. Before this, they all looked identical. Tab back to the wrong terminal and you're talking to the wrong session about the wrong codebase. Now I color-code them. Red for the client build. Blue for internal ops. Green for experiments I might throw away. One glance and I know exactly which session I'm in. Single terminal? Skip it. Multiple sessions? Try it. /color red
