Shortage of Cousins?! + OpenAI Might Launch a Social Media Platform

The Headlines:

• TikTok Sparks Panic Over a “Cousin Shortage”

• OpenAI May Be Creating Its Own Social Media Platform

Yes, Apparently There’s a “Cousin Shortage” Now

It sounds like a punchline, but the New York Post says there’s now a “shortage of cousins”—and it’s all over TikTok.

A Millennial mom went viral explaining how kids today just don’t have the same cousin-packed family gatherings that she did growing up. Why? Declining birth rates.

While the math checks out—Millennials are having fewer kids than their parents did—people are losing it online over how different family dynamics look now.
Instead of a dozen chaotic cousins at Thanksgiving, her kids have two or three cousins total. No shortage of viral content, though.

OpenAI Is Reportedly Building a Social Media Platform

Move over Instagram—OpenAI might be coming for your screen time. According to The Verge, OpenAI is in the early development stages of a new social media network based on its image generation tools.

It’s still unclear if it’ll be a standalone app or part of ChatGPT, but the concept seems focused on AI-generated visual content as the centerpiece.

This move comes shortly after Elon Musk offered $97 billion to buy OpenAI—which Sam Altman declined, offering to buy X instead for the same amount. Petty billionaire energy at its finest.
