This is due to rumored hacks/leaks: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/11wkw5z/has_chatgp... We really need an open source alternative instead of putting all our faith in one for-profit company.

Who among is is more worried about their chatgpt history leaked vs their Google searches?

Damn, some hacker might have gotten a hold of my GPT-generated Moroccan-Mexican fusion taco recipe I was going to make tonight ...

These taco-eating hackers ...

I wish there was some legally binding definition of "open" in the context of software so that OpenAI could be compelled to change their name.

I look at it much in the same way that OSF is open. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Software_Foundation Trying to legislate what certain words mean and no one can use a particular word as part of their company name unless it checks certain boxes gets into the "you're trying to regulate that ?"

Rules on deceptive advertising and fraud are very much about what words you can use to describe stuff.

When a business chooses to use a word because it’s deceptive that’s very questionable IMO.

Only depend on chatgpt when it is portable like a calculator. Imagine a world where your calculator could be offline when you need it, now imagine dividing by hand, who remembers that?

First models on the block but we have options at least! https://github.com/togethercomputer/OpenChatKit https://huggingface.co/OpenAssistant/oasst-sft-1-pythia-12b

No mentions about how it compares to GPT, anyone tried it out and have some experience to share?

I wonder if when multiple LLMs are more widely available if there's money to be made in providing a unified API that falls back to different service providers depending on their status. Multicloud meets AI.

In the medium term I expect AIs to begin maintaining significant state (so that you can teach it contexts and don’t always have to start from scratch) that can’t just be switched to a different provider.

Probably quite a lot, but it is extremely unlikely that the person who mistakenly has access to the confidential data has any idea what to do with it. Still pretty embarassing though, I would feel much better about using GPT-n over the API if it was available as an Azure API rather than through OpenAI. MSFT, for all their faults, do not do this kind of thing.

Microsoft is the best at ensuring your accounts are safe. So safe that I lost my Skype account to some random French hacker in 2014 and still can't get it back even though it was created with my email address. Luckily I've found no reason to pay Microsoft for anything in nearly 2 decades.

How do you use office? The office productivity suite competition only picked up in the last 6-7 years

I once did a contract gig with red hat, they asked for a document. I provided an odt file they came back and said they needed a word doc. I saved the doc as a word doc in libreoffice but it completely butchered their template. I was using fedora. That made me realize Microsoft won the office suite wars. It wasn’t until 2016ish when I noticed google docs was Good Enough(tm)
