Adam Curry explores ways to evolve the podcasting funding tag to provide financial incentives for app developers. He mentions Elon Musk's "xMoney" as a potential future payment system and discusses the "splits" model originally popularized by the Lightning Network as a way to sustain the ecosystem.
OpenAI reportedly plans to overhaul ChatGPT, moving away from the chatbot interface toward a "super app" model that emphasizes coding tools and AI agents. An internal source claims "chat is dead," as the company seeks higher-value products to generate more revenue from its billion-user base.
