Proud + so much fun to have been one of the first five female snowmobile drivers on the Columbia Icefields in 1981 @PursuitBanff ❤️#InternationalWomensDay

Today, we're launching shift. We're starting by cleaning your apartment in New York City, for free.

Here's how it works. Book a shift cleaning. A vetted shift operator comes to your home wearing one of our devices. They clean. They leave. You pay nothing.

In exchange, we record the cleaning. Robotics is being built on data about how people do daily tasks, and the value of that recording is what funds the service. Anything personal in it is anonymized before the recording is processed.

By now, you have heard about the shift to AI more times than you can count. About the shift toward you, the part where you actually feel it, you have heard almost nothing. Shift is what starts to make it concrete, in specific cities, with specific services.

Today, cleaning in New York. Soon, handymen, repairs, and errands across the globe. And this is just one side of shift, with more on the way.

Comment “shift” and we’ll send you an early access link.

Today, #NationalPhysiciansDay feels personal. After a reaction to a routine injection, I ended up in Emergency at @Sunnybrook, unable to walk. Care, clarity, and teamwork got me back on my feet in under 24 hours. This is what great physicians do, every day, when it matters most.

Today on #EarthDay, the crew of Artemis II is on my mind. First humans in 50+ years to view Earth from deep space on a lunar flyby.

What stood out wasn’t the distance, but the perspective. One shared, fragile home. Worth caring for, every day. 💚🌎

@elonmusk Chat GPT: Ronan Farrow’s Sam Altman article sparked shock, then split opinion fast. Big emotions, limited concrete fallout (so far). Feels less like a tipping point—and more like a mirror reflecting growing unease about AI leadership.

This #InternationalWomensDay, I’m celebrating three inspiring former @HumberPoly students - Daina Astwood-George (TMU), Katie Fraser (Women's College Hospital) & Emelia Horn (former RBC). They represent the power of education, curiosity & purpose-driven leadership in action. #IWD

The Year of the Fire Horse begins today! Occurring once every 60 years in Chinese astrology, it’s considered powerful, bold and change-driven. Fire brings energy and visibility. Here’s to momentum, brave decisions and confident action. Giddy up! ❤️🐴💛

Dystopian comes to mind.😳The tech world’s latest obsession - an "autonomous" AI-only social network. Humans have #judgement. #AI does not. https://t.co/hLMjWTCj36

Say it isn't so. #ChatGPT often has a mind of its own, what's to say it won't be influenced by the ads in its responses? Come on @sama this will further weaken your increasingly precarious first mover advantage. #AI #Advertising #Consumers #Trust

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

In the coming weeks, we plan to start testing ads in ChatGPT free and Go tiers.

We’re sharing our principles early on how we’ll approach ads–guided by putting user trust and transparency first as we work to make AI accessible to everyone.

What matters most:
- Responses in ChatGPT will not be influenced by ads.

- Ads are always separate and clearly labeled.

- Your conversations are private from advertisers.

- Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise tiers will not have ads.
