- crossroadsguy 1y agoI'd guess that's where PC's "vibe code" part aimed to quip at?
- schnable 1y agoTo adopt a persona I don't care for - you can't vibe code taste! And the Sky has some history of good product taste/talent.
- giancarlostoro 1y agoMy guess is they wanted to snatch all their existing customers? Not familiar with the app. It seems to me ChatGPT wants to replace Cora and Siri. The Jarvis of AI.
- whilenot-dev 1y agoThere are no existing customers of a yet unreleased product.
- benterix 1y agoThis really got me curious. I watched the demo and was unimpressed. I mean, this is what Apple Intelligence is for but I never enabled it (and Apple is not pushing it too hard up our throats). So I wonder what's Altman plan on this, really. Do they really plan to market this product to Mac users or is something else at play? (Not that it matters much, with the amount of money he has he can experiment freely and buy whatever he wants.)
- Brotkrumen 1y agoIf I put my tinfoil hat on, one of the reasons may be in the disclaimer: >An investment fund associated with Sam Altman held a passive investment in Software Applications Incorporated Maybe it's just as banal as "Sam paid himself a bit more money".
- schnable 1y agoThis probably played a role (cash out before bubble pops) plus the acquihire. OpenAI is building a try-everything-and-see-what-sticks product company on top of the model research lab so strong product teams are very useful to them.
