In a surprising move, OpenAI has begun developing its own social network in the style of X. According to reports from The Verge, this project is still in its early phases, but there is already talk of an internal prototype that heavily incorporates image generation from ChatGPT and a social feed that could revolutionize the way we interact online.
With Sam Altman at the helm, the direction of this new project aims not only to create a new application but also potentially to integrate these functionalities directly into ChatGPT. The ambition is clear: it is not just about replicating what others have done, but about establishing a new standard in digital social interaction.
The rivalry with Elon Musk intensifies
This move will surely fuel the already complicated rivalry between Altman and Elon Musk. Let’s remember that Musk made an offer of 97.4 billion dollars to acquire OpenAI, an offer that was rejected by Altman with a touch of irony. Since Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015 and then distanced himself from the organization in 2018, he has launched multiple criticisms towards its leadership and decisions, including its collaboration with Microsoft.
In contrast, OpenAI has responded to Musk’s actions, alleging attempts to control the company and its technology. The dispute has escalated quickly, with both sides launching legal and philosophical attacks, turning the tech landscape into a real battleground.
With Musk now in charge of Twitter, renamed as X, he has integrated his chatbot Grok, which uses real-time data from the platform to feed its artificial intelligence. This has led OpenAI to seek a way to access its own real-time content stream, rather than relying on third-party information.
An insider mentions that the integration of Grok has generated envy among competitors, especially due to its ability to generate viral content quickly and effectively. OpenAI seems to be in a race to keep up and secure its place in the future of artificial intelligence.
However, OpenAI’s project could be left hanging, as the company currently faces multiple challenges, including new models, ongoing litigation, and the pressure to scale rapidly in a competitive market.
