OpenAI appears to be developing a social network.
A report has revealed that OpenAI is working on a social network similar to X. However, the information is limited, and there are not many details available.
It seems that OpenAI is developing its own social network similar to X, according to a recent report. While not many specific details are available, it is known that there is an internal prototype that incorporates a social feed into the image generation tool of ChatGPT. It is unclear whether OpenAI will launch this social network as an independent application or if it will be integrated within the ChatGPT application itself, as suggested by the prototype.
The report also mentions that Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has been seeking feedback about the social network from people outside the company. One possible motivation for this initiative could be OpenAI's ability to gather real-time data from users, which could help train its artificial intelligence models. Additionally, this could represent a move to diversify the company's operations.
While it is still uncertain whether this project will come to fruition, it is likely to cause discomfort for Elon Musk, owner of X. Altman and OpenAI have had conflicts with Musk for some time. The company rejected his proposal to acquire OpenAI, and instead, Altman offered to "buy Twitter" for $9.7 billion, a figure notably lower than what Musk paid for the platform, and Altman referred to it as Twitter rather than X.
Recently, OpenAI has also countersued Musk, accusing him of conducting media attacks and malicious campaigns against the company through X. The lawsuit also mentions that Musk made "harassment legal claims," referring to his initial lawsuit, as well as a "simulated offer for OpenAI's assets." The company has made public an email from Musk during his time at OpenAI, in which he proposed a merger with Tesla. Altman and his team have stated that Musk was present during discussions about the possibility of OpenAI adopting a for-profit model, suggesting that he should gain majority control, control of the board, and the CEO position. Musk left OpenAI in 2018 and founded xAI, which somehow acquired X in a somewhat confusing business arrangement.
