Here at DevDay, I’ve been watching demos of OpenAI employees building custom GPT agents. It’s impressively simple to build one with zero coding knowledge. I watched one GPT be built in maybe three minutes and it just worked.

I’m here at OpenAI’s DevDay, where the press just had a roundtable Q&A with CEO Sam Altman and CTO Mira Murati. When asked how the company is going to calculate its payouts to creators for the use of their custom GPTs through its store, Altman was clear that all that is still being figured out:

Fidelity, which put $300 million into Musk’s $44 billion takeover of Twitter a year ago, thinks the company is about 65 percent less valuable now, according to Axios. That implies a valuation of between $15 and $16 billion, or the incineration of over $28 billion in enterprise value.

This was his advice to employees during his first companywide meeting since renaming Twitter to X: “In any given meeting, make sure there is at least one piece of bad news. You can have more than one piece of bad news. If you’re in a meeting with me, always bring up at least one bit of bad news or more than that.”
