Really cool idea! Beat level 6! I'm still not sure how to explain how it is showing more than 3 dimensions on a 2D screen though! Would be nice to be able to choose which dimensions are represented at the various N-dimensions, but the UI might be tricky to get nice.

I made it through the 6th puzzle, it was a lot of fun. I basically just stayed in 3 dimensions until I had to move up and then went back to 3.

Melted my brain. 10/10.

Wow that game makes my head hurt. Cool idea!

pretty fun! beat level 6 after about 4 minutes... should add some more levels :)

It's a matter of weeks/months before they'll host a complete webapp, not just a site. The Saaspocalypse will be complete.

Yeah, I'm seeing how I can move my dad's website to this so he can manage his site on his own.

Eternal AI September.

This is probably going to be as successful as Sora

already did, you can host plugins on ChatGPT Sites now, announced at devday

I love the concept, but the `.chatgpt.site` suffix reflexively makes me think of those early-2000s era sites.

Yep. https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001339-creating-and-us...

Very nice. I really like the design.

I got tired of spinning up repos for basic pages, so made my own host last year - https://pageplane.app.

I think the SEO/AEO agencies are using them to seed content for clients.

honest question what is the sherlock proof business/app/saas we can do as independent builders

hard out here hard for startups too

hows your experience been?

If Apple doesn't up its AI game soon, their entire ecosystem will be rebuilt by AI.

luckily that's a prompt away from being fix^H^H^Himproved

Pretty sure if you give Claude your AWS keys, it will easily deploy the stock CloudFront setup in minutes. But that's not as seamless.

> I honestly cannot detect https://frame-studio-motion.openai.chatgpt.site and it is giving me depression. The website is basic, but it doesn't feel slop. And I guess that is something.

Are we looking at the same website? My eyes immediately go to the font and typeface styling and it registers immediately as AI generated. There’s a very distinct “AI” website aura that Claude and ChatGPT make that requires you to change a ton of the styling to make go away.

uBlock needs a slop filter post haste.

And I wish there was a SponsorBlock type, crowdsourced slop filter for Youtube.

At least they lived a good life as free-range businesses.

> There are already a bazillion ways to do this.

Which means non-technical ChatGPT users are a bit bewildered as to how to pick.

This makes that easy; I suspect normies will fucking love it. My boss will.

Weird to describe something they could really easily sell to non-coders as a "side quest".

I think programmers make the mistake of thinking generative AI is for us, when it is much more ominously about us.

Newsflash: a company that plans to be the most valuable business on earth and has a desperate need for revenue is not going to stay out of anyone’s lane if there is money to be found in it. If you can make an AI wrapper, so can they.

This actually looks like it has meaningful potential, and given how easily they could train it to connect to a whole bunch of off-the-shelf APIs running in data centres they control, looks like a little glimpse of the future, and of the kind of power the industry has gleefully handed to the crypto-for-your-eyeball-scans guy.

Cloud AI has been the face-eating leopard of the tech industry for the last three years. This is them just starting to chew. How long before they tweak it to generate intranet apps, mini stores, specific AI wrappers? Why wouldn’t a firm that has so much influence over data centre rollout, RAM and processor prices simply directly start using their code generation tools and data centres to build and run the work product?

Maybe some of the big firms who have been helping train ChatGPT to eat their lunch will now wake up to the need for open weights.

I think at this point assessments like this are more qualitative than quantitative. I use Codex far more than I use Claude for coding and my results are generally higher quality. I would not, however, go to someone and tell them that Codex is better than Claude generally. In large part it depends on how you use the model and the harness.

All of these "side quests" (and especially this one) are attempts to build a walled-garden.

Especially this. OpenAI will host it. OpenAI will throw "Sign in with ChatGPT" there. "Apps" will be built that depend on end users ChatGPT "connections". The app will fundamentally not work without an end-user having a ChatGPT account/subscription and "connected apps".

Having "the best model" will absolutely not support a $1T+ valuation. Owning the activity of 25-50% of internet users (assuming a split between OAI/Anthropic/Google/maybe-Meta), is.

OpenAI is trying to build a business to justify their valuation, while they pursue ASI at the same time.

Anthropic is just trying to get to ASI and relying on the blind faith of investors that there will be a return at the end.

What matters is which strategy is more effective for attracting investor capital, because neither can survive without it.

This take sounds like engineering not "getting" what product even does. OpenAI has a company to run and a business to build.

The frontier companies are scrutinized heavily for their trillion dollar valuations all without a clear mass-consumer use-case. They're trying stuff.

It’s pretty obvious that they are trying to lock in consumers.

They are trying to build an ecosystem that can capture the value of AI, whereas LLMs are quickly becoming a commodity.

Where is the moat? How can they convert users?

If you were sitting on a rocket burning cash to not crash you would do that too.

OpenAI has an enormous team working on Codex. The folks who train models are different people.

Is it surprising? Most devs at my company (2k+ employees) are using Oppus and casually burning millions token a day.

OpenAI models are not falling behind Anthropic. They just have different strengths.

in terms of building sites, gpt is ahead e.g. computer vision etc.

It's worth for the token budget. You can do so much with gpt-6.1-sol (high) on a small sub. If the money is not aan issue it's probably still worth it for Astra because it can occasionally be smarter than Fable 5.1 (or so I heard).

The "intelligence API" layer seems like a pretty rough business to be in. The smarter the models the more they're commodities (since they can use any harness or scaffolding) resulting in a race to the bottom on pricing. And then each new better model requires double the cost of the previous one.

I'm surprised there's not a bigger push into better and useful memory, since that would result in actual lock-in.

The question of them moving into the app layer is completely irrelevant. If you are threatened by this the reality you need to begin making peace with is that your business is not going to exist within 10 years. And that's being extremely generous.

I hope you support UBI.

They owe investors something like $200 billion dollars, so no.

This was always the play… Wait until the models are trained to work on “capsules of your data” stored by OpenAI, and deploy your apps/services onto OpenAI cloud where you can _easily_ share the development with your team members’ AI agents. Ofcourse, they will all work only if you use and pay for their models via their subscriptions. A new global {K-V, Relational, Vector} database that your coding model is already trained to work with! will come very soon…

They know the API price wars are a race to the bottom with little/no profit margins.

Don't worry, we had DreamWeaver, Wordpress and other tools for a long time now but it still did not replace web developers. Build quality tailor made websites that connect to humans and you will be fine.
