ChatGPT Atlas

Anyone feel like OpenAI is acting like Google lately? They announce a lot of products/features and then kill them when they realize people don't use them[0]. They also announce products way before they're ready for launch, just like google[1].

- GPT Plugins? (HN went crazy over this, they called it the "app store moment"...)

- GPTs?!

- Schedules?

- Operator?

- The original "codex" model?

[0]: I know, the diff is that google kills them despite knowing that many people use them.

[1]: I know, the diff is that google sometimes doesn't launch the announced product at all...

yeah the custom GPT announcement was literally a carbon copy of steve jobs announcing the app store down to the mannerisms and tics. You could tell they were doing it to give VC and private equity the pavlov bell "ring ring! this company is apple!" and remember the sora announcement just a couple weeks ago? oh you guys are tiktok and instagram reels now too? cool...

everything that openAI does is laser focused on valuation valuation valuation

of course it's a weird form of valuation because like remember when these guys are a non profit? lol

It is weird though, the "I'm a bigtechco dance" seems to be working, even though the economics on providing LLM services do not in any way justify the valuation.

they have like five five credible competitors who are right behind them BTW

idk it seems like a company filled with product and engineering where people are thinking of cool product ideas and shipping them. They don’t have to all hit, but it doesn’t seem bad to try them.
