A: Hey there! Heard any interesting news lately?
B: No, what's up?

A: So Nick Turley from OpenAI wants to transform ChatGPT into a new type of operating system full of third-party apps! It'll be like browsers we use now, but for software interactions.
B: Wow, that sounds cool! What inspired this idea?

A: He sees it as an evolution from the current product. Nick thinks we need more affordances, making it easier to access different applications. They're looking at browsers and even early Apple ads for inspiration.
B: Interesting... so how does this affect us users?

A: Well, developers can now reach ChatGPT's 800 million weekly active users through their everyday conversations. It could become a major source of business for both third parties and OpenAI.
B: I see... but what about privacy concerns with all these apps?

A: OpenAI will ask developers to disclose the information they need and only approve reasonable requests. They're also working on ways for users to give fine-grained access to their data.
B: Alright, that makes sense. I wonder if they'll let companies pay for preferential placement in ChatGPT?

A: They're exploring that idea but want to prioritize a great user experience over everything else. They don't want irrelevant apps surfacing.
B: Makes sense. Sounds like OpenAI is dreaming big with this new direction!
