- The App Store charts show AI-generated video apps' popularity, with Sora leading despite initial skepticism.
- Sora's appeal lies in its ability to let users create content easily, similar to TikTok and Vine, making it more about creation than consumption.
- The 90/9/1 rule (90% consume, 9% edit/distribute, 1% create) applies to AI video apps, with YouTube, OpenAI, and Meta targeting different segments.
- Meta's Vibes app focuses on passive consumption, while Sora attracts users who want to create, revealing a creativity blindspot in the author's initial evaluation.
- AI unbundles the creation and substantiation of ideas, making creativity accessible to more people, akin to a 'bicycle for the mind.'
- Instagram's evolution from a tool to a network highlights the importance of social connections in content apps, a space Sora is now filling.
- Meta faces challenges from AI-generated content apps like Sora, as its AI capabilities lag behind OpenAI and Google's.
- Meta's financial success may rely on increasing ad load and engagement, but its long-term vision of personal superintelligence contrasts with its current centralized content model.
- OpenAI's Sora and ChatGPT empower users to create, potentially disrupting Meta's hold on attention by fostering human creativity.
