I was very happy when I read the news by
00:00:02
OpenAI. I think the advertising
00:00:04
principles that they announced, they are
00:00:06
very good and it's hard to imagine them
00:00:08
being better. In fact, so for example,
00:00:10
one of the key principles, they call it
00:00:13
long-term value, which is they do not
00:00:14
optimize for time spent on Chach. That's
00:00:18
a big deal. That's a big deal. If they
00:00:20
can stick to that, I think that's going
00:00:23
to be a much more likely that
00:00:26
advertising power business models are
00:00:27
going to just be very good for
00:00:29
consumers, making available for free and
00:00:32
enormously useful technology supporting
00:00:34
the AI ecosystems and continuous
00:00:37
investment and improvement in the area
00:00:39
and at the same time, you know, making
00:00:41
sure that this doesn't wreck people's
00:00:43
mental health. The question obviously
00:00:44
moving forward is can they stick with it
00:00:47
and what does it mean? Because it seems
00:00:49
that some of the principles they have
00:00:51
announced including answer independence
00:00:53
saying you know the answers are not
00:00:55
dictated by who's advertising or privacy
00:00:57
settings or we do not optimize for
00:00:59
engagement. They are very admirable but
00:01:02
they do seem to go in direct opposition
00:01:05
to short-term financial incentives where
00:01:07
there is an incentive to optimize for
00:01:08
engagement and gaining more eyeballs and
00:01:10
more advertising space to sell to
00:01:12
people. And so in that sense we'll have
00:01:14
to see how this gets implemented.
