@heykylepham Do you think they'll allow bots built outside of OpenAI to be featured here?
For eg: A bot created using Poe
Btw, excellent breakdown mate!
@heykylepham You ask ChatGPT for an outline, it gives a random general outline, but with a megaprompt like yours, it just takes it to the next level bro!
@VishuLIV My start was pretty rough, but unique though.
Fell prey to a bunch of scammers posing to be from the Mumbai Cybercrime, and they wanted my id and bank details.
Fortunately, didn't lose any money and recognized that it was a scam :)
@heykylepham What happens to the drone if it runs out of power or fuel?

You won't believe what this means for the AI industry.

OpenAI, the creators of the eerily human-like chatbot, ChatGPT, might soon be worth more than Elon Musk's SpaceX.
That's right. A startup is closing in on the heels of a company that's planning to colonize Mars!
2/
What's even more fascinating is that the details of the funding round aren't even final yet.
The valuation could still change. So the race to the top is far from over!
3/
If all goes as planned, this funding round will shoot OpenAI to the moon, making it the second-most valuable startup in the US.
And it all started with a chatbot that can write poetry on command.
4/
The AI craze is real! Giants like Amazon and Alphabet have poured billions into OpenAI's rival, Anthropic.
Even Salesforce and Nvidia are investing heavily in AI.
5/
But let's not forget about the little guys.
OpenAI's success has also sparked a wave of innovation among smaller startups.
For instance, Hugging Face, valued at $4.5 billion, is making big moves in the AI space.
Podcasts, audiobooks, oh my!
Sorry, Dorothy, we're not in Kansas anymore.
We're in the land of spoken audio entertainment, and it's booming!
