What's the benefit in giving free labor to Sam Ctrlman beyond what he's already extracted? And are they just going to steal whatever good apps get submitted?

  Zero sum mentality is tiring!

    Unbridled AI mania is as well

    The mentality I actually have goes beyond zero sum. I get zero and Sam gets all. Tell me why that's wrong.

      you get chatgpt

        Who cares if chatgpt can write my essay if writing my essay is no longer worth doing? Do you think programming Doom from scratch in 2025 would give the programmer the same sense of satisfaction and material security as it did in the 90's? Maybe technology progressing actually devalues the rewards for your outputs? And saying "chatgpt" is pretty rich considering it's not at all clear at this point whether the societal benefits outweigh the negatives.

          People like ChatGPT even if you don’t.

            And..? People also hate ChatGPT even if you don't. Do you think everyone in the world thinks exactly the same way as you do or something? Some people actually enjoy exerting their talents to create things.

              That’s the good part! Sam Altman provides ChatGPT for people who like it
              • WhyOhWhyQ 10mo ago
                Sam Altman provides ChatGPT for everybody. You seem not to be reading what I've written.

  The benefit is "Distribution". If your users are there, you want to address them wherever they already are, this is why apple store / play store / amazon store ... are so popular. Becoming a platform / ecosystem is the common playbook to go from being a one product company to an ecosystem / platform worth a lot more

    Can a small business succeed in that game?
