ATTENTION PARENTS

Share if you want to get info to those who care: Upcoming controls let parents link accounts, set age-appropriate behavior rules, disable chat history, and receive alerts when the system detects a teen in acute distress. The move follows suicides linked to ChatGPT interactions, including the deaths of teenager Adam Raine and Stein-Erik Soelberg, and a wrongful-death lawsuit filed against OpenAI.

OpenAI to route sensitive conversations to GPT-5, introduce parental controls | TechCrunch OpenAI said Tuesday it plans to route sensitive conversations to reasoning models like GPT-5 and roll out parental controls within the next month – part of an ongoing response to recent safety incidents involving ChatGPT failing to detect mental distress.

We have this discussion at least once a week with clients - IF YOU ARE NOT USING 70% OF A CURRENT SOFTWARE THAN DO NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER THAT DOES THE SAME DAMN THING.

Companies waste 30 - 50% of these budgets on unused licenses and surprise renewals.

The AI-driven rush for new software intensifies sprawl as employees charge small subscriptions to corporate cards without security reviews.

IBM data cited in the article in the comments shows one-third of breaches involve Shadow IT, with the average incident costing $4.9 million and risking fines under regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA.

✨ Performance can be automated. Authenticity can’t.

💅 In today’s digital world, it’s easy to put on a show - polished content, staged photos, and even AI-generated “perfection.” That’s performance. And while it may grab attention, it rarely builds connection.

💯 Authenticity, on the other hand, takes effort. It requires consistency, vulnerability, and truth. But that’s exactly why it’s powerful... because people trust what feels real.

👉D Koder Marketing helps brands- and people, cut through the noise with authentic strategies that build trust, create impact, and make them unforgettable.

🏆At the end of the day, anyone can perform. The brands and people who win are the ones who choose to be authentic.

🌲🏕️ This weekend, I traded screens for trails and pixels for pine trees. My son and I logged 130 miles on the quads through Snow Shoe trails and the Bloody Skillet trail system — the kind of journey where mud is earned and every mile tells a story.

💦 Showers? Just a garden hose under the open sky. Refreshing. Raw. Real.

It reminded me a lot of how we work at D Koder Marketing:
• 🚵‍♂️ We take the long trails others avoid.
• ❄️ We adapt, whether it’s boulders, mud, or shifting algorithms.
• 🔥 We know the best results happen when you go all in.

Whether it’s conquering trails or building AI-driven campaigns, it’s all about adventure, persistence, and creating moments worth sharing.

🌟 Proud Parent Moment! 🌟

This past week, our daughter Rileigh had the incredible honor of participating in the Future Assistant United States Attorney Program in Philadelphia, PA! 🙌

Chosen out of over 100 applicants to join just 66 students from across all counties in Pennsylvania, Rileigh spent the week immersed in the world of law — hearing directly from attorneys in civil, criminal, defense, and prosecution, as well as ATF & DEA agents and even federal judges.

She also toured the Constitution Center and courthouses, engaged in debate training, and even participated in a mock trial, tackling topics like the Astronomer CEO affair at the Coldplay concert (what a case to dissect!)

We are beyond proud of the way Rileigh is forging her own path and soaking up every opportunity to learn and grow. Watching her dive into this experience with such curiosity and determination has been nothing short of inspiring. We are thankful to the AUSA program for a fantastic opportunity to colors and grow in the world of law!

Keep reaching for the stars, Rileigh — your journey is just beginning! 💼⚖️✨
