The App That’ll Be Bigger Than TikTok

About this video

Sam and Shaan explore OpenAI’s new Sora video generation app, which they see as a landmark moment in AI—one that’s multiplayer, highly accessible, and capable of generating realistic videos of anyone using just their face and voice. They discuss how this represents a shift toward multiplayer AI tools, and examine both the exciting opportunities (education, accessibility, creativity) and concerning implications (deepfakes, privacy, concentration of power) of such technology. The episode also touches on related AI developments like ChatGPT’s Pulse feature, sports betting addiction among young men, AI-powered addiction recovery apps, and the value of logging personal data for long-term self-reflection.

Key takeaways

• Sam believes Sora could be the fastest-growing app ever because it’s multiplayer—people will create and share videos of each other, echoing Facebook’s photo-tagging growth loop. Shaan notes this marks the first major AI native multiplayer tool, unlike single-player tools like ChatGPT.
• Sam claims OpenAI is building toward a ‘super app’ (like WeChat) combining search, chat, news, and video generation, which raises concerns about one company having unprecedented access to personal information and power—but also potential benefits like personalized education and AI tutoring.
• Both hosts identify widespread concerns: misinformation/deepfakes, voice/face theft in seconds, content creator obsolescence, and player harassment in sports as micro-betting apps (using prediction market loopholes) fuel gambling addiction among young men—but also see opportunities in AI-powered addiction recovery apps like Sunflower Sober.
• Shaan highlights that people experience AI breakthroughs with exhaustion and uncertainty: ‘Am I super powerful or am I irrelevant?’ The healthiest response, Sam argues, is curiosity rather than dystopian resistance or exhaustion.
• Shaan shares Toby Lütke’s practice of logging every keystroke and screenshot for 15 years as a personal data archive, showing how AI tools will increasingly enable people to track their own evolution and could power personalized AI coaches mimicking an individual’s thinking patterns.
