Oh no, what ever will lazy lovers by text and plagiarizing high school students do if it's down for a few hours? ;)

You haven't arrived until the HN crowd makes a post decrying downtime and randos toss in some conspiracy theories in for good measure.

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?

Noticeably worse than open ai.

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?

I’m not. That said, if you want to name your company Organic Milk and slap that label on some milk cartons the USDA may get up in your face.

I used it quite a bit over the weekend to reacquaint myself with my small music studio, which I had ignored over the past few years. It told me all sorts of accurate information about my microphones, hardware, etc, including helping me with some connection problems having to do with buggy signal flow.

What makes you think that the information was accurate?

I checked. (Checking answers is easier than finding them in the first place.)

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.

I am working on this and seeking a non-technical co-founder. I'm not sure it would make money however.

You'll note that even though the company is "Spectrum Organics" the word "organic" doesn't appear on neither the saffron oil nor avocado oil labels.

You can do a search for company names containing "organic" at https://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/legacy/companysearch.h... and then go and see if they use the word "organic" on their food product labels.

I was thinking the same. I just built a new product incredibly fast, and now I feel like I'm going at limping speed with Google only when I'm in doubt.

Funny to see your comment, because other commenters had given me the impression that devs were above using chatgpt, and that the code it produces is bad. While some of its responses can be bad, being able to iterate and prototype so quickly is addictive.

I've found that the code it produces is on par with what a mid-level developer could come up with if they were working with you, but the difference is that it generates the code in seconds rather than minutes.

While you still need to keep an eye on the generated code, it saves you a ton of time and effort in typing it all out yourself. Plus, it can be a big help when you're stuck and not sure where to start, or just feeling too lazy to think through a problem.

As an example, I recently needed some code to create an ASCII spinner, something I am perfectly capable of doing myself, but I just could not be bothered to do it again. The tool was able to generate working code for me almost instantly. Then, when I wanted to try out different spinner animations with different characters, I was able to easily iterate and generate new code without having to scour the internet for examples by just saying: "Give me another one with different animation".

People here like to pretend that it's the end of the world if the code it creates contains errors, but in reality, with the type of work most people do - it is perfectly okay to use it. And if you work in a nuclear power plant or on life-saving code just don't. It's as easy as that.
