CHATGPT FUTURE JUST REVEALED — GET READY FOR A ‘SUPER ASSISTANT'

The Justice Department's antitrust case against Google revealed a heavily redacted document from OpenAI from late 2024 that detailed the company's internal strategy and its goal to create a de facto 'interface to the internet'. While much of the document was blacked out, it was clear how much OpenAI expects ChatGPT to revolutionize the internet. The company planned to spend the first half of 2025 building out ChatGPT as a super assistant and then shift in the second half to generating monetizable demand. One of the company's cornerstone strategies is to build out more data centers to keep up with ChatGPT's ballooning user base.

PROGRESSIVE JSON

Most apps send JSON all at once, forcing the client to wait until everything is ready, but what if we streamed it progressively, like how progressive JPEGs load from blurry to clear? A "Progressive JSON" approach is explored here that sends data breadth-first with placeholders, letting the client process what's ready and treat missing parts as Promises. This is similar to how React Server Components stream UI and use Suspense to control visual loading states.

Despite ending the month with just $23 in his account, Wynn's X account maintained confidence, vowing to “run it back” and embrace high-risk plays.
