It's true, though. It is now evident why Flash was murdered.

Because it was buggy, known for security holes and the single biggest source of application crashes in all software in the late 90's through early 00's.

I see a lot of negative comments here but to me, it was obvious this is where OAI should land. They want to be the platform in which you tell what you want, and OAI does it for you. It's gonna connect to your inbox, calendar, payment methods, and you'll just ask it to do something and it will, using those apps. This means OAI won't need ads. Just rev share.

A platform requires a user moat or unfair advantage. Having a better quality model is neither

Oh, I guess tomorrow when American HQs come online we will get some new shiny thing barely tested that needs to be deployed in production ASAP. Or maybe there is already something waiting for me in Slack...

This feels like a fever dream. As a developer everything changes every week. A new model, a new tool, a new sdk, paradigm we have to learn. I'm getting tired of all that shit.

Who says you have to learn this? You are free to ignore it if it's overwhelming.

I'd much rather see a thriving ecosystem full of competition and innovation than a more stagnant alternative.

this seems kinda silly, especially given their previous app store flop. but I'm just happy there's some spark and competition in tech again. it's felt like the industry has been pretty stagnant since web 2.0 (more stagnant than any other time in the last 40-50 years, anyway). but this AI stuff feels like another "1977 Trinity" moment

so, best of luck to OAI. we'll see how this plays out

That figure sounds way too high Edit: yes I understand it is correct, but still it sounds like an insane amount

They're confusing "sales facilitates by the app store" with sales from the app store itself. That 1T figure is real, but it includes things like if you buy a refrigerator using the Amazon iOS app.

Yeah, the article itself even lists the reality at about 20% of the 1.3T.

It’s remarkable that will inevitably rush to build free apps that only reinforce OpenAI’s moat while cannibilizing their own opportunities.

what's their moat that you refer to?

When the iPhone came out, there were like 6 apps, and no app store. In 2024, iOS App Store generated $1.3T in revenue, 85% of which went to developers.

Will this have a revenue share / marketplace built into it?

They promised AGI and delivered SDKs. I think I'm gonna skip this one..

Hey don't sell them short, they also delivered a TikTok clone with vertically integrated slop generation. It's the 5D Chess path to AGI, they just need to rot the average human brain until the bar for super-human intelligence is reduced to an attainable level.

This was funny

you missed the "it drained battery like there was no tomorrow" argument.
