OpenAI valued at 300B will never be able to produce the same products "wrappers" that these 5 people startups are making. Same reason Facebook could not make Instagram, of Jira could never make bootcamp for example.

Counterexample- Facebook made Threads which has similar # users as Twitter now.

  • Didn't it came out recently that those numbers were bugus, since basically every Instagram account must have a Threads account, and those are not actual active users?

  • …. Does anyone actually use Threads? I’ve never once seen a threads link and I understood the user count was just because every facebook or IG or whatever user automatically got a generated account?

    • My girlfriend loves it. She’s an immigrant from Kazakhstan and apparently the Kazakh community on Threads is very active. Reminds her of home.

    • As with most social platforms, it differs massively per country, it would help a lot if people here spent more time considering the diversity of the world.

  • Meta really, really likes to game their numbers. Take claims of that with a hefty grain of salt.

  • Don’t believe everything you read if you actually believe this. Threads in no way has close to the same actual usage or users
