I just read that Microsoft announced to integrate GPT-4 into Bing.

You realize that near human-level AI for $20/month is a bargain in a country where typical mobile phone plan is $25+, and is basically universally affordable?
>typical mobile phone plan is $25+ Jeepers! €5.99 - 70Gb data, unlimited calls and sms. You guys are being gouged to the max...especially with that '+' sign, at the end.
Yeah, telecom companies in the US and Canada have us by the balls. It's at least $60 with taxes....we just get fucked compared to what Euros pay.

> including software highly unlikely. You should be concerned if you are just plumbing between different software stacks, but even that is likely hard to fully automate.
You underestimate how powerful it already is. Have you tried Copilot or coding with ChatGPT? If this is the very first iteration it won't be long before many developers are fully replaced.
Generative code models trained on buggy, unmaintainable code snippets resulting in a buggy, unmaintainable codebase that only the model can manage. Genius.
Re: ChatGPT Plus
#264I've been using ChatGPT pretty consistently during the workday and have found it useful for open ended programming questions, "cleaning up" rough bullet points into a coherent paragraph of text, etc. $20/month useful is questionable though, especially with all the filters. My "in between" solution has been to configure BetterTouchTool (Mac App) with a hotkey for "Transform & Replace Selection with Javascript". This i…
You use it consistently during the workday and it's still not worth $20/mo?
Shhh, I'm his boss and have convinced him he's making a good salary at 25 cents per hour.

No. I'm a salaried employee. Marginal time/effort savings do not directly translate into more money for me. But the $20 charge hits my bank account today. Perhaps if I use it consistently enough and in smart enough ways I will be perceived to be a more valuable/productive employee, which might translate to a raise. But that's a lot of maybes. I'm sure it will get to that point eventually, but by then the value will be undeniable and my employer will pay for the subscription. Until then, I will continue to use the free version, or pay-per-use with the API, or just use google.
Re: ChatGPT Plus
#266With costs of everything so high and having to limit subscriptions as it is. $20 seems kind of crazy to me. I'd happily pay $5/mo. With 1 billion people using Chat-GPT, if 25% of them subbed at $5/mo, that is 15 billion a year. On the other hand, $20/mo with 25% subbed, would be 60 billion a year. In my humble opinion, kind of greedy.
Re: ChatGPT Plus
#267Is there never going to be a version with less restrictions and filters? That would really be worth paying for.
BTW, "filters" as in, "filter assisted decoding" is actually really helpful and AWESOME for fixing some of the problems with ChatGPT at writing poetry or writing lipograms (text with correct english but where you omit a letter systematically). I wrote a whole peer reviewed paper about this actually:
https://paperswithcode.com/paper/most-language-models-can-be...
So, when we call this "filters", it's more that it's doing "content filtering", because there doesn't appear to be the kind of token level filtering that I describe in this paper going on with ChatGPT.

I'm curious, what filters are you hitting that impede your effective use of ChatGPT? I've definitely seen some irritating outputs, e.g. progressive policy planks characterized as inherently good and correct positions, but only when I went looking for them. The guardrails haven't actually kept me from making use of it.
I couldn't get it to write a realistic presidential debate between Trump and Caligula. It balked at including realistic muck-racking and name-calling and wouldn't change its mind.
It also refused to help me write a Python script to identify substations that would be attractive sabotage targets (low security, high utilization, likely to cause a cascade failure), or to answer my questions about the security of grid remote management.
It also didn't want to talk about the use of nuclear isomers as initiators for pure fusion weapons.

There is no ChatGPT API.
ChatGPT is, for most use cases, a simple conversational wrapper around GPT3.5 which is available via API. You can make your own ChatGPT by giving the following prompt to GPT3.5: The following is a transcript between a helpful AI assistant and a human. The AI assistant can provide factual information (but only from before mid 2021, when its training data cuts off), ask clarifying questions, and engage in chit chat. Tr…
What is the expected format of the transcript? Would this work?
Me: I'm feeling lonely Bot: I'm sorry Me: What should I do?
Re: ChatGPT Plus
#270Can't wait for the official API. In the meantime, we discovered a "stealth model" which is being used by some YC companies that ChatGPT uses under the hood. I just updated the chatgpt NPM package to use this stealth model w/ the official OpenAI completions API: https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/chatgpt-api
Great library! Thanks for sharing
