OpenAI is aiming to create an app store=
that rivals Apple's, but early tests suggest that the company still has a = long way to go. ChatGPT's more than 800 million users can now perform vario=
us tasks, such as order groceries from Instacart or create a playlist with = Spotify, using ChatGPT instead of opening an app. However, the current syst=
em requires too many extra steps, making it more complicated to use than tr= aditional apps. Also, many ChatGPT apps only have very basic functionality,=
steering users back to more capable apps or sites.

<strong>My thoughts on Waterloo's c= o-op program (7 minute read)</strong>

The University of Waterloo has a co-op = program that is famous for the opportunities offered and the different coun= tries you could work in. All of the students in every graduating class alwa=
ys have jobs lined up due to the over two years of work experience they gai= ned in the program. This post, written by a student who has been in the co-=
op for a bit longer than a year, discusses how the program has changed them=
and helped them. While the program gives students a massive head start on = their careers, financial independence, and the chance to live in a new city=
every four months, it creates a lot of pressure, and students are forced t=
o grow up fast.
