OpenAI's Sam Altman Sends 'Code Red' Internal Memo Amid Rising Threat From Google
"According to an internal memo cited by The Information and the Wall Street Journal early on Tuesday, Altman told OpenAI employees he was declaring a "code red" to improve ChatGPT. The Journal reported Altman has urged staffers to work on ChatGPT's "day-to-day experience," including improvements to personalization features, faster and more reliable responses, and the ability to "answer a wider range of questions.""
"Altman also reportedly told staffers that the company will delay other planned initiatives, including the integration of ads, AI-powered shopping tools, and its ChatGPT Pulse personal assistant. OpenAI has not publicly commented on the memo, but ChatGPT Head Nick Turley tweeted about the chatbot's third anniversary and wrote: "Our focus now is to keep making ChatGPT more capable, continue growing, and expand access around the world - while making it feel even more intuitive and personal." Turley's X thread proclaimed ChatGPT as the "#1 AI assistant worldwide, with around 70% of assistant usage.""
