Three posts from the past 48 hours. De Nederlandsche Bank maps out which professions AI can speed up the most, ChatGPT gets an account switcher for work and private, and Claude Code no longer builds copies of existing games.
DNB: a quarter of workers are in a profession where AI can speed up half of the tasks
De Nederlandsche Bank published a report on 2 November about the economic impact of AI. According to the Reformatorisch Dagblad, 25 per cent of the Dutch work in a profession where AI can speed up at least half of the tasks. The effect differs strongly by field: large for software developers, language specialists and accountants, small for cleaners. DNB stresses that this measure shows where AI can support or take over tasks, not what will happen to employment. That depends on how companies deploy AI in practice.
DNB also makes recommendations: agreements in collective labour agreements on retraining and further training, extra attention for smaller firms that are falling behind, affordable access to AI models and computing power, and the ability to easily switch AI provider. The FD headlines that, according to DNB, the rigid polder model needs shaking up.
What does this mean for you? If you work in one of the fields mentioned, look at which tasks you already do with AI and which tools exist for them: AI for accountants, AI for translation and AI for software development. If you want to be able to switch provider, compare the options under models.
ChatGPT: two accounts side by side, each with its own memory
OpenAI is rolling out an account switcher in ChatGPT. According to AI Wereld, you can stay signed in to two accounts at the same time in the iPhone and Android apps and switch between them via Settings. Conversations, memory and settings stay separate per account. On the web, your organisation decides in a managed environment whether the feature is available. A subscription applies only to the account on which you took it out; a new second account starts as Free. The feature is being rolled out gradually.
What does this mean for you? You can now more easily keep client data in your work account and out of the memory of your personal account. Do pay attention to which account is active: a question you ask in the wrong account is not undone by switching afterwards. Check per field what is and isn't permitted for work, for example in the GDPR check for ChatGPT at accountants or on the ChatGPT page.
Claude Code no longer builds copies of existing games
Anthropic has added two sentences to the prompt of Claude Code with Opus 5.5, so that the model no longer reproduces specific existing games. According to GadgetGear.nl, Addy Osmani of Anthropic confirmed this on X. Original games, games within a genre and games based on your own designs are still allowed. It is not yet clear whether the rule also applies in the Claude app, via the API, or to mods, fan remakes and ports of old games.
What does this mean for you? If you are working on a remake or port, Cursor Code may refuse, even if you hold the rights. In that case, compare other coding assistants, such as GitHub Copilot and Claude, or see Cursor vs ChatGPT. What Cursor does with your code is set out in the GDPR check for Cursor in software development.
In brief
- DNB: 25 per cent of workers are in a profession where AI could speed up at least half of the tasks; what that means for jobs is not yet settled.
- ChatGPT gets an account switcher, with separate conversations and memory per account.
- Claude Code with Opus 5.5 refuses to copy existing games.
- All models and their privacy scores are at models and safety.
