Transcript excerpt

0:00 Yesterday at OpenAI dev day, Sam Waltman walked on the stage in San Francisco and said, "Your entire tech stack is deprecated." That's not a direct quote. I'm just paraphrasing. But we have about a half dozen newly released features that will change the way developers build AI powered apps in the future. The biggest bet OpenAI is making is turning Chat GPT into an app platform, which means you no longer have to use old-fashioned websites or mobile apps like a boomer. The goal is to make chat GPT like an operating system that you're completely locked into. Imagine this.

0:30 You want to play your favorite song on Spotify, like I'm quitting Prozac to continue drinking by 19-year-old pop sensation Jimmy Brown. In the future, you no longer need to open the Spotify app and hit the play button. Instead, you can simply open the Chat GPT app and type out an awkward prompt to tell Chat GPT to push the button for you. Looks like the future of AI is going to skip the Great Robot War of 2029 prophesized in Terminator and go straight to the year of 255 prophesized in Idiocracy. Well, there plenty of tards out there living really kick-ass lives.
