DEAD INTERNET THEORY IS REAL
i still don't understand why more people aren't paying attention to this.
this AI character doesn't even exist and his creator already made real money from a token.
meet Derek Mercer:
→ 158K followers on TikTok
→ ~4M likes
→ dozens of short videos
→ one clip alone pulled ~19M views and 1.3M likes
long emo hair. absurd muscles. lives in the gym.
“No skinny guys allowed.” Monster Energy energy. Y2K + chadcore vibes.
every clip is AI. people still argue if he’s real.
the money doesn’t have to come from views.
he launched a token on Pumpfun (solana:7Xgc5RacHtGzfhw2HukUBk5V986yBbvshr7rrCoopump).
Pumpfun pays the creator a cut of every trade.
Estimated creator fees claimed so far: ~$48,000.
plus the usual path: brand deals, affiliates, merch later.
the format that works:
→ one loud trait you notice instantly (the hair + muscles)
→ one setting (the gym)
→ short clips with consistent personality
→ give people a reason to come back (glow-up, drama, why don’t they understand me)
how to test something similar:
→ generate the face + character sheet in ChatGPT Images / Higgsfield AI Influencer
→ animate with Higgsfield Genjutsu or similar (motion transfer works well)
→ keep the face, hair and outfit consistent
→ post daily short videos in one niche
your first character might flop.
test a few. scale the one people share.
AI characters are becoming a content meta.
one recognizable face can turn into an audience + a business.
bookmark this. build your first one and give people a reason to come back.
follow for more AI character breakdowns.
🤖 Made with AI
you don't need a $299 course to create an AI character.
the workflow is free to learn:
→ design a face
→ build a character sheet
→ animate, edit, publish
I broke it down using Jean Phil and Derek. tools, costs, no paywall.

Codex now suggests your next message.
Composer predictions are in beta for Pro users. Generating suggestions doesn’t use your Codex allowance.
I can see this saving a lot of typing. I’m more curious whether it’ll suggest a next step I hadn’t thought of.

Codex now picks up mid-task corrections much faster, and GPT-6.1 Sol Ultrafast is rolling out too.
I like this pairing. Speed is great, but being able to say “wait, wrong direction” before the agent does more work is the part that matters to me.

Codex Cloud can now connect to your team’s private services through Tailscale.
Even Tailscale was surprised when it shipped.
I’d love to see this on a real project.
Testing against the services a team actually uses could make cloud coding agents a lot more useful.

Codex + ChatGPT Work hit 40M active users.
OpenAI is adding a banked reset to paid accounts to celebrate.
The reset is a nice bonus. I’d love to see a breakdown of that 40M how many use these tools daily, and how many are still experimenting?

ChatGPT for Teens is getting a student toolkit:
• Turn notes into flashcards and interactive quizzes
• Scan multiple pages into one PDF on iOS
• Coming soon: College Planner for U.S. high-school students to track applications, deadlines, and financial-aid steps.
We're sharing progress on ChatGPT for Teens, our ChatGPT experience for people under 18, alongside a preview of College Planner, new study tools, and support for college advisers and teen voices.
ChatGPT for Teens applies automatically to accounts identified as belonging to someone under 18, with protections on by default.
Coming soon: College Planner brings application requirements, deadlines, tasks and financial-aid steps together for high school students in the U.S. planning to attend a four-year college.
We'll keep building these tools, evaluating how they and their protections work in practice, and sharing what we learn.

Your Codex limits, on your iPhone’s Lock Screen.
The latest ChatGPT iOS update adds widgets for remaining usage and reset times, plus Home Screen widgets for recent tasks from your selected computers.
Small update. Useful upgrade.

OpenAI officially breaking down how text watermarking works in practice confirms that invisible statistical signals are now the standard for EU compliance.
We're expanding our approach to content provenance to include text in response to EU regulatory requirements, while recognizing the significant limitations of current text watermarking technology.
Our tools already help verify whether an image or audio file was created with our models. This work builds on those efforts to help people better understand when content may have been generated or edited with an OpenAI model.
In the EU, we’ll start watermarking eligible text from ChatGPT and Codex over the coming weeks to comply with the EU AI Act.
Customers using our API can turn on text watermarking for select models worldwide today.
