...n't do that." A chilling moment. Surely it's just a coincidence that the CPO of OpenAI is an exec from the all-time champ of engagement maximizing, Meta. OpenAI will become an even more intense version of Facebook. The honed engagement-...
Rohit got locked out of his OpenAI account. Imagine how bad that would be if ChatGPT were the operating system for your life.
Prompt injection sets the ceiling of potential of LLMs. Claude and OpenAI will build integrations into chat via things like MCP. Vibe coders will get stuck making dead end little island apps. Both will get stuck on the priv...
...t your assistant, it's Amazon's! Similarly, ChatGPT is not your assistant, it's OpenAI's. When Claude makes an artifact, it feels like it made something for you. You didn't make it, Claude did. Software that says "you" in the interface ...
OpenAI's new responses API is stateful and also offers good enough default integrated tools you can use... that obviously are only available within the Open...
...k fundamental difference between 100% accuracy and 99% accuracy." "I feel like [OpenAI and Anthropic] have gone to market ahead of product-market fit. I feel like the prompt looks like a product but isn't, or it's only a product for cer...
... polished UX to integrate with Google Docs." But UXes are very easy to copy. If OpenAI spends even a day copying this implementation (and there's really nothing to it, other than a polished execution of an obvious and simple idea) then ...
The Washington Post covered an example where OpenAI's Operator did something unexpected. The user had asked Operator to find cheap eggs around them, then left it alone for a few minutes. Operator ended...
DeepSeek is a banana peel moment for OpenAI. A thing that looked untouchable and strong is revealed to actually be very precarious, in an embarrassing way in front of everyone.
...e of the reasons people are implicitly combining them in their heads is because OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google all have entrants in both levels. But this is more an artifact of the "vertical integration for proof of existence" phase of t...
... times before breaking through. That implies there's tons of low hanging fruit. OpenAI tried to keep the reasoning tokens as proprietary advantage. But it turns out it was extremely easy to copy. Now they're on a tech island. OpenAI has...
OpenAI's trying to own the application model now looks much more like an AOL approach to the internet. The idea that OpenAI could corner this whole market l...
...prietary, non-scalable advantage in a way that will increasingly trap yourself. OpenAI has an initial proprietary advantage that it's focusing on going all in on the consumer aggregator / walled garden approach.
...ity LLM APIs. Here's an alternate universe that is totally possible to imagine. OpenAI releases ChatGPT before they release any API. They don't ever release an API because it would be "dangerous" …and also undermine their app's differen...
... Google Search has this property. Notably, neither of these is true anymore for OpenAI. OpenAI is no longer the best model. OpenAI also doesn't seem to have much of a compounding benefit from usage.
OpenAI apparently has 10m paying subscribers. An impressive number! Convincing consumers to pay for something, especially a new kind of thing, is extraordin...
...rain's System 1. That is, highly parallel, vibes matching from past experience. OpenAI's o1 (codenamed Strawberry) is different: like the brain's System 2. Heavy, expensive machinery for general purpose problem solving. Some problems ar...
A few random off-the-cuff reactions to OpenAI's strawberry model in no particular order: The performance of it is something that could be sometimes cobbled together with a whole lot of prompt-fu ...
It's amazing how much competition there is for LLMs. Everyone standardized on OpenAI's API, which allows fast switching between providers. Whichever knowledgebase users store their data in for the LLM to use is very sticky. The LLM ma...
OpenAI's new advanced voice mode ends most answers with a question. (At least in my experience.) I find this annoying, especially if my question was a strai...
