OpenAI is building a social network

The assumption that you can just build a successful social network as an aside because you need access to data seems wildly optimistic. Next will be Netflix announcing working on AGI because lately show writers have been not very imaginative, and they need fresh content to keep subscribers.

Netflix will almost certainly try to push a vizslop or at least AI-written show at some point to see how bad the backlash is.

There’s a guy who does these weird alien talking head / vox pop videos on YouTube. They’re pretty funny. I can see the potential.

Yes, but this misses the point ade by the comment above. Using AI in your workflow ≠ attempting to build AGI.

If you have AGI, what do you do with it in your workflow? Or is the question what does it do with you?

'Wildly optimistic' is a very fitting categorization for Altman/OpenAI.
