According to the final tweet in that thread [0] it seems like they are pivoting to a sort of AI generated art based social media platform. I’m curious why they think this has the potential to be a “mass market changing” business since the social media world seems pretty over saturated already [0] https://twitter.com/suhail/status/1591831193598963713 https://twitter.com/suhail/status/1591831193598963713

A cynical take would be something doused in enough buzzwords to prevent the VCs asking for the half of the money that remains back.

The last thing he already knew how to build didn't work, so he's going to try something else he already knows how to build. PMF? What's that?

  There's definitely PMF for AI image tools... ...but that particular industry is moving so fast it's already homogenized (with the best and cheapest tools being made by the core AI developers themselves), so without extreme differentiation a new player can't compete. The beta app in the Twitter thread has less features than current open-source AI Image tooling.

He says in his 4th tweet in the thread "I think there’s a large opportunity to make an experience using many advances in AI (not just diffusion) to make a new kind of Creative Suite. A different set of products with a brand new UX." He links to the prototype at the end of the thread - https://playgroundai.com/ https://playgroundai.com/ The current site doesn't look very inspiring. Like you say, just another "AI generated art based social media platform". But if his plans are to develop it into some sort of After Effects competitor then ... maybe that's a market opportunity worth cracking?
