Hi {{first_name|gorgeous}},

Teaching four brand-new live classes this week with no team is the kind of thing that would have ended in burnout before AI. This week I've built four original slideshows, developed a brand-new program, kept posting content, and sent this newsletter without missing a beat.

Yesterday kicked off the free Claude training series, and something that came up during the session is worth naming here.

There are two ways AI tends to go sideways for most people. Some step into the shallow end: open a chat, type generic prompts, get generic output, and decide AI isn't that great. Others jump straight to the deep end, trying advanced workflows too fast, and hit a wall of overwhelm. Both paths end the same way: you give up on AI and go back to doing everything yourself.

These three trainings exist to close that gap. If you haven't registered yet, there's still time. Register below and you'll get instant access to yesterday's replay, plus a spot at today's session at 9 AM Pacific.

Off the Content Treadmill also kicks off this week, a brand-new program that shows you how to build a content department inside Claude that does 80% of the work while you're sipping your morning coffee.

OTCT starts tomorrow. Ready to step off the content treadmill for good?

One more thing: those four slideshows were built inside Fable 5, Anthropic's briefly-public model, during the 36 hours it was available before the US government shut it down.

I barely scratched the surface of what it could do. But we'll always have Playfair Display font 😍

💄Fable 5 is gone. The US government issued an export control directive shutting down global access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 last week, citing a potential jailbreak. If you had just started exploring after last issue's recommendation, access is suspended. All other Claude models work normally.

💄ChatGPT is now an ad platform. OpenAI's self-serve Ads Manager opened in beta, letting brands buy ads directly inside conversations using cost-per-click bidding. The AI answers you've been trusting may soon come with a brand sponsoring the response.

💄Anthropic is paying people $85,000 to spend a year inside US nonprofits teaching them how to use Claude, 1,000 fellows total, $150 million committed, relocation support included. Applications close July 17 for the first cohort. If you know someone early in their career who'd be brilliant at this, send them the link.
