Give two people the same problem.
Give them the same AI tools, the same models and unlimited tokens.
One builds something functional. The other builds something extraordinary.
What separates them?

@deedydas Hahaha..insane I was trying to do exactly this 1 year ago with a much less capable model and it was almost like building an app

@cohnen @alexbki @gdb Don’t spill the beans yet ;)

[rajnishkumar @rajnishkumar]

And anything is literally possible as the model thinks and listens and speaks all at the same time and does that almost as naturally as a human!! Amazing @gdb

GPT-Live-1 is now available in the API.

Bring ChatGPT’s natural back-and-forth to your app, with voice agents that listen while they speak and work with the models and harness you choose.

@himanxu0 @sama @ChatGPT Voice mode is hands free voice to voice not the STT button

[rajnishkumar @rajnishkumar]

@sama, @ChatGPT Voice Mode missing tool calling is a huge product gap.

Voice should have the same ability to act as text. Until it does, the most natural interface to AI is also the least capable.

Please fix this.

Try @ixigo. It feels like an unfair advantage 😄 No messaging needed. Auto check-in, your boarding pass in Apple or Google Wallet, one-tap DigiYatra and hands-free airport entry. Plus Live Activity with pilot-grade tracking and predictive delay alerts.
Full disclosure: I run ixigo.

AI is not eliminating the importance of talent.

It is clarifying what talent really is.

When everyone has access to the same tools, the winners will be separated by judgment, taste, empathy, agency, resilience, curiosity and ambition.

The biggest risk now may not be aiming too high and failing.

It may be aiming too low and succeeding.

[rajnishkumar @rajnishkumar]

This is what hiring should increasingly test in the AI era:

Judgment
Taste
Empathy
Agency
Resilience
Curiosity
Ambition

Not just what someone knows, but what they notice, choose, reject and how far they are willing to go.
