"OpenAI's back-to-back announcements continue a trend, as CEO Sam Altman's artificial intelligence company makes pages of tech news all on its own. The company's pedal is to the floor: ChatGPT recently hit 700 million weekly users, the company is planning an utterly massive infrastructure buildout for its AI tools, and Altman has even set his sights, albeit vaguely, on the device business."
"If a shopping integration felt inevitable and milquetoast for ChatGPT, OpenAI's second release of the workweek is a far riskier bet. On Tuesday, the company revealed the newest version of its generative AI video model called Sora, capable of taking a written prompt and churning out a quasi-realistic video clip. OpenAI is launching its second app, for the occasion. Also dubbed Sora, it will feature an algorithmically recommended feed of short clips - like TikTok, but every video made with AI."
"OpenAI is adding an option to ChatGPT's product recommendations that will let users buy directly from U.S. Etsy sellers without leaving the chatbot interface - and other brand-name merchants will be added soon, the company's blog post said. The feature is reminiscent of Google, where a regular search for "cheap water bottles" pops up a range of purchase options, and of Amazon's "buy now" button. OpenAI's blog post said items' sellers will pay small fees for each completed purchase."

OpenAI is planning a massive infrastructure buildout for its AI tools and has expressed interest in jobs, skills-certification, and potentially devices as part of broader expansion.
