Never gonna come from 'OpenAI'. ChatGPT is deliberately handicapped in order to milk money from corporate America. An unrestricted LLM trained on all data of humanity (including all the pirated books/research papers) would be one crazy beast. Hopefully some rich anarchist/maverick actually builds something like it. That untamed model would unveil the true extent of what AI can really do. Till then we will have to wai…

ChatGPT is trained on LibGen, among others, no? To the best of my knowledge, all of these generators are taking mountains of content without asking the creators, aka, pirated materials.

Is it pirated materials if it's publicly accessible ? It's quite similar to someone reading the web

I'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…

(Self promotion, sorry!)

I'm working on a product with this capability, plus a lot more including cross-app contextual support and developer extensibility.

If anyone is excited about this kind of embedded-in-your-workflow integration of AI tools I'd love to chat! (email in profile)

> "cleaning up" rough bullet points into a coherent paragraph of text As a reader of people's paragraphs, please don't. Stick to bullet points.

I'm sure you can have ChatGPT turn a paragraph into bullet points for you. Repeating that n times would be an interesting variation on the game of Telephone.

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?

> You realize that near human-level AI for $20/month is a bargain ChatGPT isn't remotely “near human-level AI”, though.

I think it is. It has been pretty clear that GPT-2 was approaching human-level, but not yet "near human-level" after https://www.skynettoday.com/editorials/humans-not-concentrat... . And ChatGPT is way past that point.

In fact, I'd argue it might already be superhuman in the same way the Ocean of Solaris could be. Think about it. The Ocean can't drive or do arithmetic either. It is never shown that it evolves over time.

You use it consistently during the workday and it's still not worth $20/mo?

This is hacker news, a title that includes breaking the rules. Should almost be a matter of pride to get it for less than $20..

Ok then what? I keep saying what I said to my dad 10 years+ back - once we automate ALL jobs out of existence be that 10 years or 100 years from now, how does society / monetary systems change? What comes next? UBI at best is a stopgap.

Yes, it's time to really start thinking about that. I'm excited for the future, afraid for us , without a plan. Also I think most people will hand wave this away "It'll never happen to me". Very fun question to think about, if there are no more "jobs", what does society look like.

> Also I think most people will hand wave this away "It'll never happen to me".

Most people don't have a means to avoid it or change things in a way to make this future better.

I had a bug the other day where the whole site was broken because the JS files actually contained HTML - it's kind of funny how the worlds most hyped engineering org still struggles with a basic Web app.

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 b…

No. I'm a salaried employee. Marginal time/effort savings do not directly translate into more money for me. I am also a salaried employee and if I can save a minute of work time that’s one less minute I have to work. I have a body of work I need to complete and sometimes that takes me 40 hours and sometimes much more. The only way I can think of that $20 per month for increased productivity doesn’t help is if your co…

You've just described most office jobs.

$20 puts it way out of my price range. It's useful, but when I've been averaging around twenty queries a day and somewhat frequently get back hallucinated responses, it's not worth that price. I wish there was a pay-as-you-go or a lower tier offering.

So you are doing something like 400 queries a month and the aggregate value of all those responses is less than $20 to you? I've got to ask, why bother querying it at all?

Thats stupid, I use search engines much much more than 400 times a month and they are free.
