I'm getting "too many requests in an hour" error. Barely using Google for day to day tasks anymore. This thing is addictive and fast. Was able to set up a jest/rtl playground within seconds. I'm sure Google would have directed me to some outdated SEO crap.

#162This 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.
I hear two things requested a lot - an open source ChatGPT and more controls on the training/data/usage/etc. How can these two things be held in balance? If it is open source entirely, can't I use the training data and tool in any way I want? What guardrails prevent me from using it to generate hate speech? Given the compute power needed to train/run it; where are people going to do that in any accessible way that do…

How they can best be balanced kind of depends on the basis for the conclusion that they should be balanced at all, rather than one (or even both) being fundamentally misguided in way which warrants it not guiding policy or practice at all. “There are two things people commonly ask for” does not mean that what we ought to do is some balance between those two things.

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 unt…
Some who are lucky, don't have to use office at all. And some others probably pirate it.

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.
Organization names are quite different than products.
"GPT-4" and "DALL-E" don't use the word open in their description.
The research is accessible. ( https://openai.com/research )
Why are we trying to legislate and regulate the name of a company?

Not OP, but this wasn't my experience at all. Pretty effortlessly switched away from Microsoft Office even before Libreoffice overtook OpenOffice (not sure of the year I switched, but I'd wager 2008 or so?). And the Google suite was an excellent supplement when OO/LO was fucking something up.

Oh, you forget that the AI that generates hate or other disruption always can be aimed at will, like a weapon. If you thought russian/chinese troll farms were bad, wait for this little trick...
IMO the issue with hate speech is tools like Facebook and twitter that allow it to be broadcast to hundreds of millions of people at once. Slightly increasing the efficiency at at which the hate speech can be written is drops in the ocean compared to that.
A specific example: one person works with H8-GPT using a list of 1000 subreddits to tailor misogynistic messages to each subreddit at a rate of 20 posts per subreddit every day.
Automated cross posting detectors wont work against such messages, meaning human moderators would have to work a lot harder to stop the output of one person.
And there would be more than one person. You could effectively destroy thousands of forums with very few people this way.
Re: ChatGPT is down
#168OpenAI's status page (https://status.openai.com/) claims their API is up (except for text-curie-001) as of 2:04PM PT. However, I have been getting HTTP 429 (too many requests) from the chat completions API (https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions) for over an hour. I'm not close to hitting my quota, so it seems that while the API is broken, it is broken in a way that is not reflected on the status page. Maybe the API quotas have been manually overridden, and because that results in 4xx and not 5xx status codes, the status page interprets that as "Operational".

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.
They've been explicitly saying now that progress in AI, which they have helped push along enormously, is too fast and represents a danger to society whether through Sci-Fi like rogue machine scenarios or bad human actors or massive economic implications and it's very clear that ClosedAI is far better for the future of the world.

I don't understand how ChatGPT (or similar interactive agents) function, so I'm very confused by your experience. Was ChatGPT just a replacement for internet searches (e.g. instead of searching for a spec sheet for your model microphone, you asked the bot "what is the for microphone?")? Or was ChatGPT doing the debugging with you just providing data from the real world?
I assume the OP is leaving out the part about something called prompt engineering which has a bit of a learning curve. I'm going to have to dive in to it myself, as it seems like a bit of self-education is required before it can be simply communicated. Some information here : https://github.com/dair-ai/Prompt-Engineering-Guide/blob/mai...
I didn't do anything special prompt-related, I just asked the same way I would ask on a discussion board.
I wondered though if it was especially effective because information on sound hardware is one of those subjects that probably has a huge corpus. Lots of people ask redundant questions about their gear, so accurate information is probably well-correlated in some sense.
In contrast, I wrote three fiction chapters about a group of people on a shared quest of sorts. I tried to get ChatGPT to read those and summarize one of the characters across the three chapters, and it hallucinated like crazy. That's probably something where I need to learn some prompt engineering, or maybe it just isn't supposed to work well.
