I do think they’d be better focusing Pulse on business users. Connecting information in a workplace for those with ChatGPT enterprise in this way would be welcome. If I can get notifications that span all the various information sources, infer urgency, and overnight patterns of activity of a distributed team that could have value. With zero retention policies and control over / opt in to what can be connected it’s not as invasive. I do understand the point made that it could be used to evaluate you too by someone with your analytics of time spent etc.

When I saw the story for Pulse[0], the first thing that came to mind was 'stickiness' of the platform--AI boy/girlfriends--could go sideways quick.

> Introducing ChatGPT Pulse - Now ChatGPT can start the conversation

Yes, BUT, I want very strong guarantees that any such agents are loyal to me, the enterprise customer, first and foremost.

If anything, companies have MORE to lose than individuals here. If ChatGPT can anticipate your corporate decisions, then it can front run you and steal your whole business.

This absolutely happens:

- Amazon watches for successful third party products, then releases clones under their “Amazon Basics” brand and crushes the original.

- Robinhood makes most of their money selling real-time activity data to market makers, ensuring that big financial firms win over retail investors every time.

If OpenAI manages to do this in the general case… well then the valuations start to make a lot more sense.
