@alighodsi Now, @alighodsi, for all the new people that don’t know much about @databricks, do you want to explain what is the business model behind this *actually* open source AI model that people can use for commercial apps?

Uneven progress across AI assistants: GPT-4 vs Alexa.

Note: Alexa notification is not from 5 years ago. It arrived 13 minutes ago. https://t.co/ff5nldHfW3

@KostaBuhler @Forbes I don’t know who put this together, but as a former Gartner analyst, doing industry research (including taxonomies and classifications) for a living, I’m really NOT impressed.

@elonmusk I’m confused. Who’s interviewing who?

1/ A snippet from the Splendid Edition of Synthetic Work Issue #7, sent out last week:

“…
Nothing stops OpenAI from launching a browser extension and a series of apps for every mobile platform and gaming console out there.

2/ If they do it, Perplexity AI will have to show that they can do a much, much better job with the Q&A use case than OpenAI.

There is another possibility: OpenAI does not launch a browser extension and a wide range of apps.

3/ Any company that wants to establish itself as a platform company operates around a fundamental tension between two conflicting needs:

4/ – On one side, there is the need to create an ecosystem of partners that can reliably build a business on top of the technical foundation that the platform company offers.

5/ This is especially convenient when a company starts, as it lacks the time and resources to deliver production-quality features for every use case.

The more your ecosystem grows, the bigger the trust partners place in your platform, the healthier is your business.
