I think a lot of businesses have adopted this. I've seen Papa John's orders on Roadie, but I'm sure they also use Uber Eats or DoorDash and their own in-house drivers.

Walmart asks me to sign up for their Prime equivalent every time I go on their website. I'm never going to do that.

I've worked these 1099 grocery delivery gigs and you get paid around minimum wage to lug these very heavy orders of water and juice up stairs, all while adding miles to your own vehicle and bearing the full risk of injury because you're an independent contractor. I hope you tip them well at least.

There have been stories like Medvi which did $400m in revenue last year with only a two person team and a bunch of contractors, but it is such a specific niche around arbitraging medical prescriptions, I don't think it could be done in-house at OpenAI without it being a huge distraction.

If designed well, it could be audited hardware with on-device processing.

That does make more sense. But if any company were to take surprising security measures, it should be the frontier labs.

Free startup idea: Anti-espionage cameras for corporate offices. Put it behind TVs and plants etc. and it will notify the security team if it detects new objects.

How did they get that capture of Alfozan looking behind the TV? Does OpenAI install its own surveillance cameras behind TVs to prevent espionage?
