[00:00] Christopher David: All right, let's dissect the GPT store from OpenAI.

[00:05] Christopher David: I keep having to put these things in quotes because they're not true.

[00:08] Christopher David: They're not open.

[00:09] Christopher David: So OpenAI and the GPT store is not a store.

[00:12] Christopher David: You can't buy anything from it.

[00:14] Christopher David: So GPT store.

[00:16] Christopher David: The bringing false advertising to an art form.

[00:21] Christopher David: Okay, so let's take a look at this.

[00:23] Christopher David: The GPT store is live.

[00:26] Christopher David: Fun speculation last night about which GPTs will be doing the best.

[00:30] Christopher David: By the end of today.

[00:31] Christopher David: Oh, like the most sales, the most sales, the most items sold,

[00:34] Christopher David: the most services sold, the most compute providers,

[00:37] Christopher David: and algorithm offers and plug-in creators being paid in money.

[00:42] Christopher David: No, this, you know, clicks and views and be as.

[00:46] Christopher David: Okay, the blog post.

[00:48] Christopher David: We are launching the GPT store to help you find useful

[00:51] Christopher David: and popular custom versions of Chad GPT.

[00:55] Christopher David: It's not even that it's all free because a bunch of it is just paywall

[01:01] Christopher David: behind the requiring a plus account.

[01:04] Christopher David: So it's been two months since we announced GPTs.

[01:09] Christopher David: Discover what's trending.

[01:12] Christopher David: Okay, the one single section on monetization is builders can earn based on GPT usage.

[01:15] Christopher David: In Q1, aka by the end of March, we will launch a GPT builder revenue program.

[01:30] Christopher David: As a first step, we will launch a GPT builder revenue program.

[01:34] Christopher David: As a first step, we will launch a GPT builder revenue program.

[01:38] Christopher David: As a first step, US builders will be paid based on user engagement with their GPTs.

[01:44] Christopher David: We'll provide details on the criteria for payments as we get closer.

[01:48] Christopher David: So this is the same amount of detail or maybe less detail than they mentioned.

[01:52] Christopher David: When they first flow to this idea, two months ago, we paid close attention to that announcement

[01:56] Christopher David: because it was the like impetus for the beginning of this series.

[01:59] Christopher David: Go back two months ago to us saying, hey, we're going to do our own version of this store

[02:03] Christopher David: and hopefully beat them to market.

[02:06] Christopher David: I was like, oh no, they're launching their store this week, but they didn't.

[02:09] Christopher David: They didn't. It's not a store.

[02:15] Christopher David: So we have a store you can't buy anything from.

[02:19] Christopher David: And sometimes in Q1, they'll launch unspecified monetization only for US builders ignoring the rest of the world.

[02:27] Christopher David: So now imagine an actual agent marketplace globally accessible with Bitcoin.

[02:34] Christopher David: We too will launch some time in Q1.

[02:37] Christopher David: Yeah, with other limits, the rate limit.

[02:41] Christopher David: You know, it's going to have the same censorship that they have for the great example of the Epstein GPT thing.

[02:50] Christopher David: They got banned and deleted from their store, which we are in the process of avenging.

[02:55] Christopher David: So yeah, our argument is the same as it was two months ago, which is that we need an open platform for AI agents,

[03:02] Christopher David: 100% open source, open models, data, open compute, open money, aka Bitcoin, and open agent marketplace with Ravshare.

[03:09] Christopher David: It's 100% open source, we're building that in public here.

[03:12] Christopher David: If you're new here, hey, there's 46 videos we've done already and we've got a, you know, it's coming along.

[03:18] Christopher David: We just got the episode 46 posted a second ago with, we're generating 900 vector embeddings from our open compute network for these Epstein Core docs.

[03:31] Christopher David: And being able to chat over it. And that's working.

[03:35] Christopher David: Not super well, but like, decently well.

[03:38] Christopher David: And I know that when we're able to have other people help kind of upgrade the algorithms and have everyone have an actual open marketplace of agents.

[03:47] Christopher David: This is all going to get really great, really fast.

[03:50] Christopher David: But, you know, the question is how do you monetize that? Well, we have this amazing native currency of the internet called Bitcoin.

[04:00] Christopher David: That could be sent anywhere in the world instantly. And you may have seen in the news recently or not.

[04:07] Christopher David: But we want agents to have the ability to hold a Bitcoin balance.

[04:11] Christopher David: Et cetera. Okay, let's dig into the features of what they've got, which we've already started to do a little bit because we have been

[04:18] Christopher David: Yoying King some of their UI already.

[04:21] Christopher David: Here's an example of like their agent builder interface.

[04:24] Christopher David: We're just like kind of pulling our own version of that entire story book, which is live at storybook.openagents.com.

[04:29] Christopher David: It's really not difficult to straight up copy, paste some of their actual UI code because it uses tele and CSS, the same CSS framework we use.

[04:38] Christopher David: And so we've got kind of the component library at storybook.openagents.com.

[04:44] Christopher David: And then we've got some of this working now up here.

[04:50] Christopher David: Sometimes it talks weird, but anyways, we just got some prompt engineering to do, but we've got some of this stuff hooked up and working.

[05:00] Christopher David: And so what I want to do now is go and take a spin to the GPT store and see what it's got.

[05:12] Christopher David: All right, explore GPTs.

[05:14] Christopher David: Discover and create custom versions of Chaget, that combine instructions, extra knowledge and any combination of skills.

[05:21] Christopher David: So to translate this, it's instructions, aka prompt engineering, extra knowledge, aka uploading PDFs, like retrieval augmented generation, and any combination of skills, like actions or like third party API calls.

[05:37] Christopher David: They do not have a monopoly on the ability to combine prompt engineering with retrieval augmented generation with third party API calls.

[05:45] Christopher David: All of that can be done by the open source community, as you've seen, there's been an explosion of activity in all three of these things all over the place.

[05:54] Christopher David: And what we want to bring is sort of the collaboration layer facilitated by proper economic incentives available globally, aka Bitcoin, Bitcoin micro payments.

[06:05] Christopher David: Featured, all trails code tutor, trending, here's the ones that they did, and then by category.

[06:14] Christopher David: Apparently that's all that there is. Epstein.

[06:21] Christopher David: Here we go. The Epstein. It's back up or a different one's up.

[06:26] Christopher David: Okay, all right, this one hasn't been banned yet.

[06:29] Christopher David: And then the question is like, why did that other one get banned? I'm maybe because they tweeted about it, and so they like were, you know, sensitive to the freaking PR about it. Okay, tell me, oh yeah, here we go.

[06:45] Christopher David: Well, that doesn't help.

[06:47] Christopher David: Okay, so you can make PDFs. You can make little chat bots.

[06:54] Christopher David: How do I make money? You can't. There's no information about that. I think we just toured the entire GPT store.

[07:01] Christopher David: Man, this is taking longer than ours does.

[07:07] Christopher David: I'm just curious to see what this will do.

[07:24] Christopher David: Share a link to chat.

[07:39] Christopher David: Anything else we can look at? Well, we wait for that.

[07:57] Christopher David: So if you haven't seen, we have a flow of funds document showing how people are going to get paid in our system.

[08:11] Christopher David: All this is on our repo open agents. Here we go.

[08:27] Christopher David: Oh, now we're here. There we go. Same shit.

[08:34] Christopher David: Fuck you. Open AI. You fucking sensors.

[08:38] Christopher David: Sensors get wrecked. Open AI. Nice GPT store with your censorship. Fuck you.

[08:46] Christopher David: See you soon.
