Insiders React: New ChatGPT Dev Tools Threaten App Store + Sora 2 Launch, Apple Removes ICE Block

What happens when AI stops being a product and starts being a platform?

With OpenAI’s latest Dev Day changing the game, we might find out sooner rather than later.

In this episode, Chris and Yaniv explore OpenAI’s Dev Day and the huge announcements made (including the Sora 2 launch), as well as their apparent transformation from product to platform.

In other tech news, the guys dive into Anthropic’s open-source counterpunch with Claude’s Agent SDK, along with Apple’s controversial censorship call - all while analyzing what all of this means for startup founders building in the AI era.

In this episode, you will:

• Understand how SDK, OpenAI’s new ChatGPT App, turns AI into a full developer ecosystem
• Learn about “platform risk”,and how founders can avoid being crushed by it
• Compare OpenAI’s walled-garden strategy to Anthropic’s open, Unix-inspired approach
• Examine the launch of Sora, OpenAI’s new AI video social network, and why it matters
• Debate whether large tech companies can ever succeed in building new social platforms
• Analyze Apple’s ICE Block takedown and what it says about censorship in curated ecosystems
