Re: OpenAI Codex
#2I'm trying to extract some signal from this link...lots of upvotes, no comments, 30 min old, top 3 on HN...I'm worried this will be read as negative, but it's not, just learning, and enough time has passed I'm itching to jump in and ask:
- Is the significance here exactly what it says on the tin: the model behind GitHub's AI code completion will be shared with people on an invite basis? Or am I missing something?
- What is the practical import of the quote at the end of this comment?
"can now" makes me think its a new feature over Github's implementation, which would then indicate the "simple commands" could be general UI, or at least IDE UI, navigation.
If "can now" means "it is currently capable of, but will be capable of more", then I'd expect it to be the same as the current implementation on Github.
Quote: "Codex can now interpret simple commands in natural language and execute them on the user’s behalf—making it possible to build a natural language interface to existing applications."

#3I really want to just play with this tech- it’s frightening but also the future, but I’m still waiting to be accepted on the GitHub copilot waitlist. I wonder how long this will take for people who don’t know someone who knows someone…
Re: OpenAI Codex
#4Can this read existing code and fix one missing piece? That will be cool.
Say I have a question I can't solve by searching through stackoverflow. If the AI can solve a problem like that, it will be great.

Program Synthesis can do some rudimentary fixes. But I would love to explore this problem of program correction using AI.

#7A new way to talk to the computer I guess.
Re: OpenAI Codex
#8I thought OpenAI was originally supposed to be some kind of for-the-good, non-profit institution studying AI and its safe use in particular with an effort to make it more accessible and available to all through more open collaboration. This is cool research, sure; but what happened to making models available for use by others instead of just through some opaque APIs?
Maybe I'm just remembering wrong or conflating OpenAI with some other entity? Or maybe I bought too much of the marketing early on.

#9I feel that OpenAI Codex could become like Webflow for coding. It might sound ironic, but what tools like Webflow in the world of Web programming is to give the power of creators to build something fast that can long last (without the speciality of a decent web programmer).
If the same thing can happen in the world of programming, I guess evaluations like LeetCode and Whiteboarding can go away and bring in a new of logical thinking evaluation which could ultimately be a more realistic method of some programmer rising above the chain.

#10A warning to devs building on OpenAI APIs:
We spent months developing a chatbot using GPT3 for our game and released a video showcasing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnuSQvoroJo&t=264s
Afterwards OpenAI then added GPT3 chatbot guidelines disallowing basically anything like this. We were in communication with them beforehand, but they decided later that any sort of free form chatbot was dangerous.
What they allow changes on a weekly basis, and is different for each customer. I don't understand how they expect companies to rely on them
