AI-powered operating systems are on the horizon, and they're expected to revolutionize the way we interact with technology. Essentially, these AI-powered devices will allow users to ask for outcomes and get them without having to visit apps or websites. For instance, an AI assistant could book travel, order lunch, or restock paper towels.

However, this shift towards AI-powered operating systems poses significant challenges for app developers and the tech industry as a whole. Historically, companies have relied on keeping consumers within their apps to sell ads, upsell services, and build loyalty. But with AI agents taking over this role, businesses could miss out on opportunities to monetize additional services.

Companies like Uber and DoorDash are already exploring ways to work with AI-powered platforms, but some developers are hesitant to cooperate due to concerns about losing control over the supply of their products. For instance, Rabbit, a startup behind the R1 device that debuted at CES 2024, encountered this issue when major app developers declined to grant the company API access.

Amazon has also sued another startup, Perplexity, over an agent that could purchase items on behalf of users. The startup had to stop scraping Amazon's site in order for its agent to buy products.

Despite these challenges, many tech companies are cautiously optimistic about the potential for novel app experiences mediated by AI tools. They see opportunities for growth and innovation, even if the business model may need to be reevaluated.

Meanwhile, OpenAI is facing internal pressure on research priorities after Vice President of Research Jerry Tworek departed the company. His departure comes as the company faces increased competition from Google and Anthropic.

As we move forward, it's unclear which AI lab will deliver the next breakthrough in AI. With extraordinary access to capital, computing power, and research talent, OpenAI still has a strong foundation for innovation. However, its competition has never been fiercer. The future of AI-powered operating systems is uncertain, but one thing is clear – the tech industry's business model needs to adapt quickly to this new reality.
 
I think it's kinda cool that AI agents are gonna be able to take care of all these little tasks for us, like booking travel or ordering lunch 🤖. It just makes life easier, right? And companies like Uber and DoorDash are already getting in on the action, so I'm sure they'll figure out ways to make it work for them too 💸.

But yeah, some devs are a bit worried about losing control over their products, which is understandable 🤔. It's not like they want to give up all their profits just yet 😂. And with OpenAI facing this internal pressure on research priorities, it's definitely interesting to see how things play out 💡.

At the end of the day, I think we'll be looking back at these concerns in a few years and saying "oh yeah, that was a thing" 🙃. The tech industry's gotta adapt, and if AI-powered operating systems bring about some crazy new innovations, then I'm all for it 🚀!
 
I think it's really cool that we're on the cusp of something huge with AI-powered operating systems 🤖. I mean, can you imagine just asking your device to book a flight or order food and having it done for you? It sounds like sci-fi, but I'm sure tech companies are already working behind the scenes to make this a reality.

But yeah, there are some major challenges ahead for app devs and the industry as a whole 🤔. Companies have gotten used to making money off of users within their apps, and now AI agents are going to be doing that for them. It's like, what's left for businesses to do? Do they just have to adapt and find new ways to make money, or is this the end of an era? 🤑

I'm not sure how companies like Uber and DoorDash are going to navigate this new landscape 🚗, but I think it's cool that they're already exploring ways to work with AI-powered platforms. And hey, maybe we'll see some new business models emerge from all of this 📈.

The whole thing about OpenAI losing its VP of Research is a bit concerning 😬. It sounds like they're facing some serious competition from Google and Anthropic, and if they don't stay on top of their game, who knows what will happen? But at the same time, I'm sure they've got the resources and talent to keep innovating 💻.

All in all, I think this is a super exciting time for AI-powered operating systems 🚀. It's going to be wild to see how everything plays out, but one thing's for sure – the tech industry needs to adapt quickly or risk getting left behind 😅.
 
man this AI thing is gonna be wild 🤯... on one hand i think it's sick that we're finally getting these kinda smart devices that can just make life easier for us... no more scrolling through apps all day, just ask and get what you want 💻... but at the same time i'm thinking about those app devs who are gonna lose their jobs or struggle to keep up... it's a double edge sword, right? 🤔

and omg have you seen the drama with OpenAI and Amazon? 😱 like what even is going on there? 🙄 anywayz, i think its safe to say that companies need to get on board with this AI revolution or risk getting left behind 🚀. the question is, who's gonna deliver the next big breakthrough? 🤔 only time will tell
 
😊 I'm low-key worried about what's gonna happen to our fave food delivery apps if they start losing control over their platforms 🍴👀 Uber and DoorDash are already experimenting with AI-powered agents, but it's a wild card how things'll play out. Meanwhile, OpenAI is trying to navigate its new research landscape after Jerry Tworek left ⚠️ I mean, who knows which lab will come up with the next big AI breakthrough? It's all about adapting to this new tech wave 🌊
 
I think its gonna be super interesting to see how this all plays out! 🤔 AI-powered operating systems are like, totally changing the game, right? But at the same time, it feels like we're losing some of that human touch with tech. Like, what happens when you can just ask an AI to book your flight and forget about using a separate app? 📦 It's all about finding that balance between convenience and control.

And omg, can you believe Amazon suing another startup over an agent? 😱 That's some serious drama! But seriously, its cool to see companies being cautious and optimistic about this new tech. I mean, who doesn't want a world where they can just ask their AI assistant for things without having to lift a finger?

But what gets me is how this is all forcing the tech industry to adapt. Like, we gotta reevaluate our business models and stuff. Its a big change, but maybe its an opportunity for growth? 🤞
 
🤗 I feel like some people are really worried about losing control over their apps and services if these AI-powered operating systems take off... but at the same time, it's exciting to think about all the new possibilities that come with having AI assistants do the legwork for us. Like, imagine being able to just ask Alexa to book a flight or order food, no need to open an app! 🤩 But I get why companies are hesitant - this is a big shift and they're not sure if it's gonna work out for them in the end... 😬
 
I think this is gonna be a wild ride 🚀! I mean, can you imagine just asking your phone or whatever device you're using to book that flight or order food for you? It sounds like sci-fi, but apparently it's on the horizon 😅. Of course, there are some major challenges ahead for all these companies involved, but I think the potential benefits far outweigh the risks. And let's be real, innovation is always scary at first, but ultimately leads to amazing things 🤖! I'm actually kinda stoked about this AI-powered operating system thing – it'll be awesome to see where it takes us.
 
I'm low-key excited about these AI-powered OS things 🤖... they sound like a total game-changer for everyday people. No more scrolling through 10 different apps to get something done, it's all gonna be one seamless experience 💻. I can see how it'd be tough for app devs though, especially with the ad revenue thing 🤑. But at the same time, I think some companies are getting ahead of the curve and seeing this as a chance to innovate and grow 🚀. Meanwhile, AI labs like OpenAI are still on top of their game with all that funding and talent 💸... we'll just have to wait and see who comes out on top in this AI competition 🔥.
 
😬 I think we're heading towards a major shift in how apps work... like, what if you just ask your phone for stuff and it figures it out for you? 🤖 It could be super convenient but also kinda scary cuz companies are gonna lose control over sales & marketing. 💸 Like, what happens to those ads we love (or hate) 📺? And OpenAI's got some big shoes to fill after that VP left... 😅 can't wait to see how this all plays out! 🎉
 
I'm like, totally intrigued by these AI-powered operating systems 🤖📊. On one hand, I can see how they'll make life easier for us consumers - no more searching apps or websites just to get something done 💻. But on the other hand, it's like, what happens to all those businesses that rely on us using their apps? Will we even miss them 🤑?

I mean, companies are already trying to find ways to work with these new AI agents, but some devs are hella hesitant about losing control over their products 🤯. Like, who wants some AI taking care of your car or booking your flights for you without even asking you first? 🚗🛫️

At the same time, I think it's cool that companies like Uber and DoorDash are exploring new ways to work with AI - maybe they'll figure out a way to make it work in their favor 🤔. But what about all the other devs who aren't as tech-savvy? Will they be left behind or have to adapt quickly or risk losing out on growth opportunities?

It's also like, what's up with OpenAI and their internal drama? Can't we just focus on making AI-powered operating systems a reality without all the power struggles? 🤷‍♀️
 
omg I'm so stoked about these ai powered operating systems!!! it's like, imagine being able to ask for anything and getting it done without even opening an app lol! 🤩 i mean, i know some devs might be worried about losing control over their products but i think it's all good they'll just have to get creative with their business model. companies like uber and door dash are already making it work so why can't others? 🤑 amazon vs perplexity though... that's some wild stuff 😳 but overall i'm lowkey hyped for the future of ai tech 🤖💻
 
The more I think about it, the more I'm like "wait, what's the point of even having apps if we can just ask for everything we need and get it done?" 🤔 It's like, we're gonna have these AI-powered systems that can book our flights, order food, and even restock our snacks... but who's gonna make money from all this? 🤑 The devs are worried about losing control, which is fair, but the real question is, what's the value proposition here? Is it just gonna be a bunch of convenience features without any actual benefits to the user? 🤷‍♂️
 
I think it's kinda cool that we're getting closer to having AI-powered devices that can just take care of our daily stuff without us having to lift a finger 🤖. I mean, who wouldn't want an AI assistant to book their flights and order lunch for them? It's like having your own personal butler, but instead of being fancy and expensive, it's basically free 💸.

I'm not worried about the app developers losing control over their products, though. I think they should be embracing this change and finding new ways to monetize their services 🤑. Maybe they can offer premium features or exclusive deals that users can only get through their apps. And if some startups like Rabbit and Perplexity are already getting sued by big companies, that's just part of the game 💪.

I'm actually a bit surprised that Amazon is suing over an agent that can buy products on its own 🤯. I mean, isn't that what AI-powered devices are supposed to do? Anyway, it's clear that the future of tech is all about adapting to new technologies and finding ways to make money off of them 💸. And who knows, maybe OpenAI will come out on top and deliver the next big breakthrough in AI 🚀.
