Yesterday Google and now Microsoft both announcing their own chat bot integration and yet there is not a single link where I can try out either one of them. What is this new trend of announcing things as if it's available for general use and then hiding it behind invites or not making it available at all.

The silliest part is that little OpenAI launched a public service and Google / Microsoft (!) can't launch something publicly available.

If they were worried about getting a bad start with the general public or scaling concerns they could have easily put it somewhere that only enthusiasts (e.g. HN) would find it. But no, instead...announcement and nothing usable.

Call me back when I can try this, Bing.

Wonder what the compute cost for this ends up being. My guess is they will have to somehow rate limit it - I’m sure the rollout speed will also depend how much people end up using it. Maybe they will figure out some ad revenue - but I don’t think they can charge users for this.

Would love to know how much compute $ they’re willing to throw at this to attempt to topple Google. Probably whatever it takes (within reason), MS missed out on mobile and search - can’t afford that to happen again.

Over time the inference for these queries will get cheaper (FP8 and later 4bit precision, sparse/pruned weights etc)

404 and redirects to homepage. Off topic: Anyone knows how to get rid of wall of news on bing homepage? I tried disabling it but it still loads it and makes it visible if I scroll down.

that's weird. I was able to join the waitlist. maybe it's rolling out slowly across the globe?

Am I the only person annoyed that the first 30 links on this page are to 'theverge.com'? I want to get to Bing itself. Or at least the waitlist. I don't want to have to parse through so much text and get distracted. In fact, the only place where 'bing.com/new' shows up is in the source code used for what I think is SEO. I cannot find an href anywhere pointing to bing.com/new So here it is: https://bing.com/new

It keeps redirecting here https://www.bing.com/?form=REDIRERR

If you haven’t realised yet, Microsoft Bing with ChatGPT is the last stage of the EEE phase ‘Extinguish’ after embracing and extending OpenAI, that will drive and undercut other competing services like Jasper.ai to zero and the best AI tools for free or close to free. It will significantly affect smaller so-called AI companies like Jasper.ai than Google. But this announcement is unsurprising and as expected. [0] I wi…

> EEE

No. This has nothing to do with a statement made 20+ years ago. There is no "Embrace" involved. There is no "Extend" involved. There is no "Extinquish" involved. There is an obvious business and competitive step involved, and a major business relationship with OpenAI involved.

It's time to grow up and stop acting as if using terminology and aspersions from the era of Fax machine is somehow hip and insightful. Every single person involved in the EEE era retired from Microsoft years ago. Most HN readers weren't even born in those days.

bing.com/new is supposed to work from their slides, but may not be live yet.

Is anyone having success with the https://bing.com/new link? I'm not seeing it, but I'm not sure if that's because I'm on a Mac (via both Chrome and the OSX version of Edge)

Yes, it works here.

Remember Tesla's FSD? This is not a new trend.

Gives me a 404 and then a redirect to https://www.bing.com/?form=REDIRERR
