Interesting to see that OpenAI was successful in creating their own reality distortion spells, just like Apple's reality distortion field which has fooled many of these commenters here.

It's quite early to race to the conclusion that one is better than the other when not only they are both unreleased, but especially when the demos can be edited, faked or altered to look great for optics and distortion.

EDIT: It appears there is at least one commenter who replied below that is upset with this fact above.

It is OK to cope, but the truth really doesn't care especially when the competition (Google) came out much stronger than expected with their announcements.

Well, as a counterpoint, Apple did become a $2 trillion dollar company...

Distortion is easiest when the products really work. :)

  • Apple got up to $3 trillion back in 2023.

    • Indeed, and they’re at 2.87T today… Built largely on differentiated high-margin products, which is not how I would describe OpenAI. I should clarify that I’m a fan of both companies, but the reality is that OpenAI’s business model depends on how well it can commoditize itself.

  • HN guidelines ask commenters to be kind and for the discussion to get more thoughtful and substantive as it progresses.

    If you believe a comment is so bad as to warrant shame and embarrassment, please explain why you think so, rather than being dismissive and spewing insults.

    On a related note, that is likely why you’re being downvoted. I wouldn’t be surprised if the comment is soon flagged.
