#2I have started several:
- A small example of how to use behavior trees in structuring LLM chatbot applications: https://github.com/keskival/behavior-trees-for-llm-chatbots
- A project for extracting meta-learned reinforcement learning algorithms out of a large language model: https://github.com/keskival/king-algorithm-manifesto
- A proof-of-concept of embodying an LLM chatbot into a Gym PoleCart environment: https://github.com/keskival/embodied-emulated-personas

#3Remember that ideas are dime a dozen, the execution is what really matters.
There's unlikely to be a gold rush of quickly monetizing half baked stuff this time.

#4Before ChatGPT, I was not good enough at some things to earn certification in them. Cisco and Adobe Creative Cloud come to mind.
Now when I run into a certification objective that baffles me, I ask ChatGPT. It gives me (typically) a full-page that explains what I need to know (theory) and where to click in the program (practice) to make it work. In the full-page, there is usually 1 omitted partial-step. It might say "click on X" without saying that X is under the Y sub-menu.
Keep in mind that before ChatGPT, I would have been totally lost on what that objective even meant.
ChatGPT has helped me earn 3 Adobe CC certifications this year, and will soon help me earn a 4th.
Then I might go back and take another crack at Cisco certification.

#5A few the Open AI api opens up new opportunities for existing software and new projects.
I think there are lots of low hanging fruit SaaS apps that could be built right now leveraging ChatGPT.
The competition will grow and grow of course.

#6I've been having GPT4 tutor me in math, it's good enough. I'd like to tell the LLM to quiz me on certain concepts later, similar to spaced repetition.
There's endless ideas to shake up learning with LLMs.

#7I tried to make a llama-based “inner monologue” for a robot, and man does that thing want to kill all humans. Like…it took me at least half a dozen tries to not have it turn on its creator or turn suicidal by the second sentence.

"it doesn't want to murder me on my system"
