Please see an update for me this morning in the comments. This disaster is going to make me a much better founder. I got up at 3:45 AM today to begin rebuilding my company. Original post follows: I’m standing here writing this in tears, and I want to give a very sobering warning to anyone who is considering upgrading from ChatGPT plus to a business Team’s account on ChatGPT. There is a a glitch that was unknown to me before I started this process, but is apparently well known in the open AI developer community that all of your data is deleted when you migrate it and you can’t get it back. Everything I’ve been building for months is just …. Gone. Other than what I had saved and backed up in my personal files, my entire ChatGPT history has been zeroed out, and it really hurts because this was like my external brain for both home and my business that I’m building. Open AI acknowledged that their company documentation failed to include a warning that all of my personal data would be deleted and everything that I have been working on since day one in my accounts has been deleted, and there’s nothing I can do to get it back even though I followed their exact instructions on merging my personal and business accounts, to the letter. I just paid $618 to upgrade my account to two seats on a business plan and merged the data from my personal account to my business plan. Within a minute or two of that transaction going through as I was following the step-by-step worksheet that ChatGPT itself printed out for me. My accounts froze, and I had to log out. I logged back in everything was blank. When I used my previous emails that I had my accounts tied to to log back in ChatGPT opened free tier accounts using my business email that I just paid $618 to open my business account on. I’ve escalated this to ChatGPT Support and they were extremely unhelpful. Basically they said sorry it’s a known issue and there’s nothing we can do. I was planning on shipping a product today using the ChatGPT business plan because it offers a secure link so that I’m not sending out raw proprietary JSON code.

I wasn’t planning to share this, but today cracked something open using ChatGPT and I hope this helps someone out. Getting clarity on my path forward was effortless and effective. This prompt was so effective in guiding me through something I’d been avoiding, all the way to task completion, and lifted a huge burden off me. For two years, one corner of my bedroom sat untouched with boxes, and the weight of various physical reminders of grief, loss, and the version of myself I hadn’t figured out how to become again during two grueling years of hands on caregiving for my mom, while still working full time and caring for my multi generational family of 7. It became a place I hated looking at, I avoided, the place where overwhelm won. A place that quietly strained my marriage and my spirit. I kept telling myself I’d deal with it “when I felt ready,” but I never did. Today, for the first time, I didn’t try to do it alone. I got clarity and immediately was able to focus, start, AND FINISH a task I’ve been avoiding for two years. I teamed up with ChatGPT — not as a tool, but as a teammate. A calm voice. A steady mirror. A gentle push. Step by step. Breath by breath. And somehow… something shifted. That corner — the one tied to two years of emotional weight — is completely clean tonight. It took three hours to complete the task. And in clearing it, I felt a piece of myself come back online. The part that’s rebuilding. The part that’s reinventing. The part that’s ready to live forward again. This wasn’t about cleaning a room. It was about reclaiming myself after a season of loss. If you’re carrying something heavy — even if it looks “small” to everyone else — please hear this: You don’t have to push through the grief alone. You don’t have to white-knuckle your reinvention. Sometimes the breakthrough begins with a single corner… and a teammate who doesn’t get tired. Tonight, I’m proud of myself. And for the first time in a long time, I feel hope rising again. THE PROMPT: EDITED FOR CLARITY

I wrote this after I saw an alert from the NVIDIA Red Team today and it really stayed with me. If you are new to artificial intelligence, NVIDIA builds much of the hardware and tools that power global AI systems. Their Red Team actively searches for safety issues before those issues turn into real harm. When they raise a concern I pay attention. Their latest update felt important so I created this gentle beginner friendly breakdown for anyone building consumer facing AI apps and learning at the same pace I am. FOR ANYONE JUST STARTING OUT If you feel unsure or intimidated please remember this. You belong in this space. You do not need perfect knowledge to move forward. You can ask beginner questions. You can learn slowly or quickly. You can return to this later. You can grow at your own pace. You are not behind. You are not alone. Every builder in this community started exactly where you are right now and you are welcome here. A QUICK NOTE FOR ANYONE WHO FEELS OVERWHELMED You can copy and paste any part of this post into your favorite AI tool and ask for a simpler explanation. You can ask for beginner level language. You can ask for examples. You get to decide how you learn. DISCUSSION: NVIDIA AI Red Team has observed three common vulnerabilities in the implementation of AI systems. The first vulnerability involves directly executing LLM-generated code, which could lead to remote code execution in the case of direct or indirect prompt injection. The second vulnerability is related to insufficient access controls in RAG data sources, which could allow a user to read data they are not privileged to read or write data to the data store. The third vulnerability is related to active content rendering of LLM outputs, which could lead to information leakage via images or other network requests. DO NOT LET YOUR APP RUN CODE THAT A LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL WRITES A large language model or LLM can write computer code. If your app runs that code automatically you open the door for attackers. An attacker can trick the model into creating harmful commands. You protect your system when you limit the model to a small set of approved actions or place any generated code inside a locked sandbox where nothing else can break.

Hi everyone! 👋 I’m Susan, a retired teacher 📚, aspiring author ✍️, health coach 🥗, chaos gardener 🌿🌻, and avid NW Arkansas hiker 🥾—usually with my two rescue dogs, Buddy and Teddy 🐶🐶, leading the way. I always say: Every day’s a school day! 🎒—and today’s lesson is AI! 🤖✨ As an AI dabbler 🧑‍🔬, I’m just getting started—mostly experimenting with ChatGPT 💬 and Grok 🚀 to see what amazing things they can teach me! 🌟 I’m hoping AI can help me in a plethora of ways, especially in my current freelance work as a curriculum writer 📝, developing lessons for the state of Arkansas’ Outdoor Education Initiative 🌲🏞️, as well as assisting with several passion projects I’ve got brewing 🔥. What brought me to this community? 🤝 As a retired educator who’s always exploring new ways to grow 🌱 and create 🎨, I realized AI is the perfect tool to supercharge my productivity ⚡ and creativity 💡. I want to learn how to harness it effectively, connect with like-minded folks 👥, and maybe even collaborate on some innovative ideas 💭. Fun fact: When I’m not exploring AI 🧠, you’ll find me chaos gardening (think wild, untamed plots full of surprises 🌱🌼), horseback riding 🐴, or hitting the trails with Buddy and Teddy 🐕🌳—nature’s my ultimate reset button! 🌅 Looking forward to learning and sharing with you all 📖✨. What’s your AI journey like so far? 😊

Hey everyone, I hope you all learned something impactful and actionable over the past 3 days. I tuned into day one live, but am having to catchup on YouTube for the remainder. I was curious, what is your why? I'd like to tell you a few of mine, and a little about my story I guess. Maybe it gets a little personal, you be the judge - but I think being vulnerable can lead to breakthroughs. When I was 11 years old, first year of secondary school (high school for my friends across the pond), my parents divorced. My dad was the breadwinner, while my mum did work, my dad was the real family earner. After their divorce, my dad would remarry after a few years, but my mum never did. To this day (they divorced in 03, 22 years ago), my mum still struggles financially because of the divorce. Her finances were a mess, which was okay to some degree when she was married, because my dad took care of everything, but with him gone and 3 hungry lads to feed, my mum struggled. A lot. The cliche of 'pick food or heating, but you can't have both' was a reality in my household. We couldn't even afford toilet paper sometimes. She's a teaching assistant, and works 12 hours a day, way above and beyond (especially for the remuneration) what is required - she works more than the teachers she assisting. So that's my mums story. My dad, he grew up in the harsh Belfast 60's. Well, he recently retired after 50 years of beings a tradesman. He was 'forced' into early retirement this year due to a double hernia operation, and decided his final year of work post-surgery wouldn't be worth risking further injury. He and his wife decided they would sell everything (they never owned a house, they lived in affordable housing), his work tools, the van, the car, and all of their possessions, to live out their retirement in Italy, in the small village his wife was born in. Life happened, and without going into details, Italy didn't work out. He made the tough decision to move back to England - no home, no car, no work van, and no tools to return to.
