“The Grok integration with X has made everyone jealous,” says someone working at another big AI lab. “Especially how people create viral tweets by getting it to say something stupid.”
AGI is just around the corner guys

That sometimes the crazy headline rewrite is actually the articles headline is half the fun.

Can’t go sneering with our wits tied behind our backs!
In a way, this is true. Not if you build a software social network, but if you build up your personal social network by pandering the right people, and forgoing your morals, this is feasible. Requires a ton of luck still, but it’s at least more feasible than creating a digital social network in modern society. Million dollars really isn’t all that much anymore. If I was morally bankrupt I’d start by making friends with health insurance big wigs.
Yeah no. Jk. This guy’s a fucking moron
To be clear, it’s an L Ron Hubbard quote originally about starting a religion, to my knowledge Altman didn’t really say that.
Remember Friendster? It’s back, in slop form!
I’ve never seen Milhouse and Sam in the same room together
“Don’t support billionaires’ social networks! Use mine and make me a billionaire!”
I’m sure there’s a fault in that reasoning, I just can’t put my finger on it.
Time to start a new business to distract people the previous one is not living up to expectations. Musk style. (A degree of vertical integration will also ve involved)
It’s really the perfect opportunity for integration! They can steal the data and content of their own users, instead of other people’s users, and then they can serve their slop directly to their own users instead of users having to generate and export their slop to other people’s social media sites. And both of these applications can distract from the fact that AGI isn’t happening and even more modest LLM agents aren’t practically useful. And since Altman already built up a user base on ChatGPT, he’ll have a head start on getting a critical mass of users!
Thinking about it… something like this is probably Altman’s best bet for making OpenAI’s financials work out, because as David Gerard and Ed Zitron and others have all pointed out, they are losing money per LLM user, so they really do need a way to convert a huge user base into money that doesn’t involve LLMs.
He’s cooked
lol. lmao.
exciting news! everybody wants this!
