In this episode, we dive into OpenAI's plans to introduce an "adult mode" for ChatGPT in early 2026, following the release of GPT-5.2. This feature aims to offer adult users more freedom and personalization, including the ability to produce erotica. The decision comes after backlash over previous updates that reduced the chatbot's personality due to mental health concerns, highlighted by a lawsuit involving a teenager's suicide.

In this episode, we delve into the evolving landscape of B2B marketing and the shift from Marketing Qualified Leads (MQLs) to Marketing Qualified Accounts (MQAs) and demand generation. The traditional MQL model is faltering as B2B buying behavior changes, with decisions now made by committees and most research happening in the "Dark Funnel." This has led to a misalignment between marketing and sales, wasting resources on low-quality leads. We explore how forward-thinking organizations are adopting the MQA model, focusing on account-level intent using AI and identity-resolution tools. This approach aligns marketing and sales around revenue and pipeline velocity, ensuring resources target accounts ready to buy. We discuss the limitations of the classic MQL model, which fails to account for buying committees and often results in false positives and operational friction with sales. MQLs are now just one signal among many, as companies focus on aggregating signals across accounts. The podcast also covers the role of demand generation in this shift, emphasizing the importance of ungating content to engage the entire buying committee. We highlight the tech stack supporting this transition, including identity resolution tools and AI accelerants that democratize MQA capabilities. Finally, we address who can successfully "kill the MQL" and who should not, noting that well-known brands can afford to ungate content, while early-stage companies may need a hybrid approach. We offer a step-by-step guide for making the shift to MQA and demand gen without disrupting the existing funnel.
