> Pulse introduces this future in its simplest form: personalized research and timely updates that appear regularly to keep you informed. Soon, Pulse will be able to connect with more of the apps you use so updates capture a more complete picture of your context. We’re also exploring ways for Pulse to deliver relevant work at the right moments throughout the day, whether it’s a quick check before a meeting, a reminder to revisit a draft, or a resource that appears right when you need it. This reads to me like OAI is seeking to build an advertising channel into their product stack.

Yes, this already reads like the beginning of the end. But I am personally pretty happy using Mistral so far and trust Altman only as far as I could throw him.

  That's such a great quote. Should be the tagline of Google and Facebook retrospectives. "Monetizing 'other products': the FAANG story"

Nono, not OAI, they would never do that, it's OpenAI Personalization LLC, a sister of the subsidiary branch of OpenAI Inc.

  That's hiring for a role buying ads, not selling ads. i.e. this is ChatGPT buying ads on other platforms to promote ChatGPT.

To me it’s more like TikTokification. Nothing on your mind? Open up ChatGPT and we have infinite mindless content to shovel into your brain. It turns proactive writing into purely passive consumption.

  This seems right. The classic recipe of enshittification. You start with the a core of tech-adjacent power users, then expand to more regular but curious and creative people, but then to grow further you need to capture the attention and eyeballs of people who don't do any mentally engaged activity on their phone (or desktop, but it's almost always phone), and just want to turn off their brain and scroll. TikTok was the first to truly understand this, and now all platforms converge to short-form algorithmic feeds with the only interaction being a flick of a finger to "skip", or stare at the thing. If people only pull out ChatGPT when they have some specific thing to ask or solve, that won't be able to compete with the eyeball-time of TikTok. So ChatGPT has to become an algorithmic feed too.

    I caught onto this very early. Initially Id probably spend 1 hr a day conversing with chatgpt, mostly to figure out its capabilities and abilities. Overtime that 1 hr has to declined to on average 5 mins a day. It has become at best a rubber duck for me, just to get my fingers moving to get thoughts out of my mind lol.
