What Jamie wrote

Thompson's take on the OpenAI Keynote is a good read on multiple levels. I shared his feeling of "wonder" in watching the keynote. I usually watch Apple events since I use their products and platforms, but they are rarely surprising. There just isn't a lot that truly surprises but I find what OpenAI is doing super interesting.

This is the implication of a Universal Interface, which ChatGPT is striving to be: it also requires universal access, and that will always be a challenge for any company that is “just an app.” Yes, as I noted, the odds seem long, thanks to Apple and Google’s dominance, but I think there is an outside chance that the paradigm-shifting keynote is only just beginning its comeback.

Worth a full read.
