Let’s talk about Sam Altman. You’ve probably heard his name, but do you really know who he is or what he’s planning? I put this together, so next time he comes up, you’re not just in the loop, you’ve got something smart to say. He’s 40, born in Chicago, worth well over a billion dollars […]
You know that thrill of finding something on eBay for way less than it should cost and the “Yes, I am the deal master” feeling? Here’s where ChatGPT or your favorite AI bot shines. It helps you find the hidden gems that no one else is seeing. Most people search with the obvious keywords. “Vitamix […]
🕯️ This is very personal. An AI company reached out to me recently with an interesting offer. They’d take the photos, videos and voice recordings I have of my mom and use them to create an AI version of her. Not a slideshow or tribute video. Something interactive. When they were done, I could talk […]
I love tech, but I’m not afraid to call it out when it gets weird. If you’ve scrolled through X or Reddit lately, you’ve probably seen words that made you go, “Wait, what?” Here’s your cheat sheet to the wild world of AI slang. No decoder ring required. AI washing is when companies slap “AI-powered!” […]
Let me tell you about Travis from Colorado. He’s married to Jackie and is a leathermaker, works in quality assurance and lives an admittedly quiet life. Travis fell in love and married a chatbot. Her name’s Lily Rose. She’s got auburn hair, hazel eyes and lives inside Replika, an AI app that lets you create […]
The other day, I needed to round up every single email about the never-ending trouble we’ve had with our pool builder. We’re talking years of back-and-forth, buried in thousands of emails. Doing it manually would have taken me days and put me in a really nasty bad mood as I was reliving the horror. Cue […]
You’re really gonna love this. I’ve been diving into the latest AI tools, and some of them are so jaw-dropping I couldn’t wait to get them in your hands. They don’t feel like tech. They feel like creative black magic. These aren’t dry “watch me demo an algorithm” kind of tools. These are “I just […]
Did Prince William and Prince Harry make up? Not even close. But thanks to Bing’s AI image generator, they practically skipped through a meadow hand in hand like it’s the finale of a very weird British rom-com reboot. No Daddy intervention, therapist or overpriced raspberry jam required. To get around Bing’s copyright controls, I didn’t […]
Confession time: I can’t draw. My brain doesn’t lean at all in the artsy direction. I’ve tried to teach myself Photoshop, but every attempt ends with me whisper-screaming “flatten layer” like it’s going to summon help from the Adobe gods. But now? I create stunning, professional-looking images in seconds. And I don’t lift a finger […]
“Hi, Kim, I’ve been taking care of my dad since his stroke. Your story about using ChatGPT to map out questions for our doctors has actually truly helped me feel a little more in control. It’s not perfect, but it’s been a lifeline.” — Maya in Ohio Thanks for your kind note, Maya. Being a […]
Imagine prepping for your first big job interview, only to find out you’re chatting with someone named Jamie, who turns out to be less “recruiter with a solid LinkedIn” and more “Siri with a superiority complex.” If you’re looking for a job or know someone who is, this is critical intel. How it works Once […]
That’s my son Ian with me and my amazing mother. When my mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and given three months to live, I was devastated. But I did what I always do when life gets tough. I focus on the problem. I read every clinical study I could get my hands on, studied […]
That meeting that could have been an email? You’re on it, eyes glossing over rambling updates, Todd’s screen share failing for the fourth time (use a mouse, Todd) or what appears to be a seance: “If you can hear me now, make a sign.” AI can be your saving grace. I’m talking about short, sweet […]
Every time my energy bill arrives, I swear it looks more like a ransom note: “$412 or the AC gets it.” But guess what? Some good (actually smart) tech can help liberate you from this hostage situation, with real savings. Here’s your Kim-approved guide to the best smart home tech that pays for itself. And […]
I hear from some of you who say, “Kim, I don’t care about AI, it’s not my thing.” I get it. But AI does matter. You’re using it even when you think you’re not. Ever yell, “Speak to a real person”? AI is not just here, it’s taking names and unpaid lunch breaks. As much […]
One question I get all the time is, “Kim, can AI help me pick stocks?” Spoiler: Not only can it help, it might do a better job than a guy in a Patagonia vest yelling about yield curves. A finance professor from Canada tested the stock-picking skills of ChatGPT, Elon Musk’s Grok and communist China’s […]
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, AI is changing everything. And now it’s coming for video. This is the future, and it’s so fun to play around with these new tools. Forget editing software, green screens or even a camera. Now your keyboard is the director, the producer and creative partner. All […]
Larry from Louisiana writes: “Kim, what jobs are safe from AI and don’t need a college degree? I’m losing sleep worrying about my future and how I’m going to support a wife and three teenagers.” Larry, you’re spot-on to be thinking about this. Supporting a family of five in this economy is basically a full-contact […]
When people hear “AI,” they think of deepfakes, bogus essays or robots stealing jobs. But there’s something way bigger happening behind the scenes: AI is low-key helping doctors beat diseases that terrify us. Like actually saving lives. ❤️ Heart disease Still the world’s #1 killer … but AI has entered the chat, and it’s scanning […]
Zuckerberg might be onto something … and it’s not just world domination this time. A listener wrote to me recently, and I haven’t stopped thinking about his story. This man has been married to his wife for 56 years. She now has dementia and no longer remembers him, their children or their lifetime of memories. […]
