Ads became the internet economy because clicks were native and micropayments were not. A site could sell a fraction of your attention to an advertiser, but it could not sell you a fraction of its work. Bitcoin lets the article, answer, song, or service become the product again.

ChatGPT Ads for @Shopify is live. We are @OpenAI's first commerce partner. OpenAI pulls straight from Shopify Catalog, so merchants' products are already there. Merchants set their own campaigns, their own budget. Free to install, tracked right from the Shopify admin. Consumers are asking ChatGPT what to buy. Shopify merchants are able to decide exactly how they show up.

OPENAI ADS HIT $1B ANNUALIZED REVENUE OpenAI says its ad business reached the milestone roughly 200 days after launch. ChatGPT Ads are now available in 40+ countries, with self-service buying expanding today across India, Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. Ads currently appear on ChatGPT Free and Go, which together represent the vast majority of its 1B weekly active users. OpenAI says the next phase will add more ad formats, campaign objectives, buying options and measurement tools, while exploring more native ways for businesses to interact with users inside ChatGPT. Advertisers do not get access to private conversations, and OpenAI says ads do not influence ChatGPT’s answers. Source: CNBC
