Elon Musk's Twitter Renamed to X, Poised to Become an 'Everything App'

Elon Musk's recent announcement of xAI raised many questions, particularly regarding its place within the wider ecosystem of Twitter and Tesla. However, the recent rebranding of Twitter to X, coupled with hints of an 'everything app' in the works, provides a clearer picture.

Amidst all the speculation about whether this move is a good idea or not, the primary aspect that seems to have been overlooked is that this is fundamentally an AI play. To build a new kind of everything app today, one must think from first principles about how to engage with diverse domains—from finance to entertainment, e-commerce, communications, and more—using AI.

We believe that this is the real plan. And, if it works, it could be the biggest company ever.

ChatGPT Custom Instructions Rollout

OpenAI's ChatGPT introduces a new feature: custom instructions, currently in beta for the Plus plan, with broad availability imminent. It allows users to dictate AI responses, significantly enhancing the relevance of interactions. Each conversation will remember your custom instructions, alleviating the need to restate preferences or information.

Whether a teacher focusing on a 3rd-grade science plan or a developer needing efficient non-Python code, ChatGPT adapts accordingly. This feature underscores OpenAI's dedication to providing tailored AI experiences.

We recommend exploring the list of instructions created by AngelList co-founder Nivi.

Runway Launches Image To Video

Following our recent comparison of upstart Pika Labs with Runway, we're excited to report a significant development that puts Runway back in the lead.

Runway added Image to video to Gen-2. This enhancement is producing some of the most impressive AI video content we've seen to date, sparking a surge in AI videos shared online. We highly recommend giving it a look.

*Note: The user interface is kind of confusing. To use Image to video, just use Gen-2 and upload an image and generate a video without using a text prompt.
