Sam Altman And Elon Musk Not just competing in the AI race. They both have the ambitions of the Silicon Valley’s Holi Grill building: a “everything” super app that includes finance, social media, gaming and more.
Earlier this week, I looked at the Altman project from the event location on the northern edge of San Francisco. He was not there as the CEO of Open, but as a co -founder and chairman of the Tools for Humanity, a core company called World Coin, which is now available in the United States, is now available in the United States. The World Coin is divided into people who scan eyes on another bus bus, who are roaming in retail stores all over the United States. At the same time, the token is being used to create a super app to compete with X.
The Tolls for Humanity World app is a crypto purse, social network, and mini -app platform. Its monthly consumer base has doubled in the last six months, with 26 million people, of which 12 million have been confirmed by a Varb. In the World App, you can send others a message through the World ID-connected chat interface-after scanning your eyes, you can send or receive a blockchain-based identifier-and cryptocurrency. There are also dozens of mini apps available from developers like Kalashi, many of which allow you to deal with the World Coin in the app.
Creating a center for finance and social networking is a mask’s stated intention for X, which is ready to launch features such as Vanmo later this year in partnership with a visa. This week, the Tolls for Humanity also announced a partnership with a visa to issue a US debit card this summer. This will offer you rewards prizes for transactions with the World Coin and AI’s membership.
Confiring that people are human, tools for Humanity is also trying to solve the boot problem, which Musk said he wants to fix it when buying Twitter. Stage in the eventAltman called back to the co -founder of the walk Alex Bilania And he met San Francisco five years ago, before the release of Chat GPT.
He said, “It was clear to us that something like this was needed, that we need some way to verify humans during the AGI era.” “We wanted a way to ensure that humans remained special and central in a world where the Internet has many AI -powered content.”
During a press question and answer after key note, CEO tools of humanity Alex Bilania X was called as a platform that he is trying to improve with the verification of global identity, which has intended to charge the developers since the beginning. He acknowledged that the boats on the X were “so stupid that you can see that it was a crypto scam.”
This week’s event had several openings in the audience. His rumor was that the two companies would announce a partnership for the open -minded social network. Given the contrary connection, I asked Bilania during a press question and answer if he wanted to work with the open. He replied that he was “definitely open to him” and indicated that there would be more to come to the front. I hoped to ask Altman about it, but he slipped after a key note.
Earlier this week, I attended the first AI developer event of Meta in the headquarters in Menlo Park, Lalmakin. That morning, the Standstone Meta AI app was released with a social feed to share the conversation with the assistant. Finally, the app is going to include premium levels and ads.
After my opening key note in Lamakone, I caught the Meta’s Chief Product Officer, Chris CoxTo ask why Meta AI is getting its app, why it is a social part of it, and what else she thinks that the app separates.
The following conversation has been modified for length and clarity:
What is the purpose of doing Standstone MetaAI app?
About a billion people are using Meta AI. There is a group of lightweight use, but then there are some groups of people who are running deeply. We also wanted to present a lightweight format and heavyweight in our apps.
Does this mean that Meta AI’s hooks will disappear or become optional in other apps (Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp)?
Our plan is to maintain it. Some of these things are understood in apps. Many people are using it to find out more about a particular meme or a particular piece of content. We will continue to integrate such.
When you compare Meta AI to other assistants like Chat GPT, what do you think is its edge?
There is voice, personalities, social properties, and then integration with hardware. We have done a lot of work to get the sound really delayed and really express it, with which you talk about.
The second piece is personal. It remembers everything I told him. It also includes your Facebook and Instagram data, if you connect your accounts, to understand the interests in a native. He knows that I am a marathon. He knows that I am very interested in AI. I like it. When it comes to answering basic questions, it starts to get a very interesting level of depth. We have created the best personal experiences on social media, and we know that there is a difference between the Vanilla app and something that people really like. So I expect it to be a great discrimination for us.
Social things are incredibly entertaining. Many people post political cartoons with visual commentary on today’s events. One of the observations we have is that people do not know what to do with AI, and this is not unless they can run by someone who goes through the light bulb. Just like social media, much of it is memetic. You see other people doing.
Will the Meta AI Discovery Fed become more of its social network, not just one way to find indicators?
I think we will add to it. I have already found a group of AI creators. With the early communities, you want a dedicated place because it has low pressure. I’m not going to share my AI generated artwork on Instagram unless it is really good. If you have a place that is just for that thing, it is going to be a community around it.
Does this app also help in the sale of Meta Ray Bean, because how do you connect with them?
I think this may be the following way: You see people use ray bean in the app. Many people will be passionate about it, rather than seeing marketing.
What did you all learn from Lama 4 Benchmark Fasco?
I think the most important thing for the benchmark is to focus on what is actually important to your product. Part of what we need to do is really, really, really. I think every organization is going through some versions of it. The importance of this is whether the product is good, the duration.
