What is your job? Chances are, it’s nothing an AGI (based on LLMs) can’t do, and an AGI is possible, today. People are building these things today, check out GitHub. And if you don’t believe GPT-4 cannot do your job cheaper than you, just wait for GPT-N, which will be able to.

#172Can anyone explain what "extra knowledge" means specifically? Is that like fine tuning? How much data can I give it to learn? How much can it retain? Can it be updated over time?
Google launched Notebook LM[1] a while back which does a similar thing conceptually. It allows you to import a Google drive folder with docs of the stuff you would want to understand and then just chat with it. It's a good product but restrictive in the sense that it only allowed Google docs.

#173I wonder how much money I could make making "GPTs" full time. Barrier to entry is nonexistent so I imagine highest revenue ones if this becomes a serious thing people use will be advertised externally or have some proprietary info/access.
> I wonder how much money I could make making "GPTs" full time I don’t get why people are thinking along these lines at all. Like, if you don’t own and control the LLM yourself, what makes you so sure OpenAI will allow you to make money at all? They could make advertising externally or hosting external marketplaces against the TOS. They could copy your GPT and put their “official” version at the top of the store page…
It takes significant effort to come up with good use cases, build the prompts, and advertise the bots.
So a company can get a lot of value by going after this up and coming type of "content creator".

The catastrophe is humanity going extinct from superintelligent AI. Like a native species going extinct after an invasive species arrives. Mentioning Terminator is like saying the Earth is flat because Hitler said it is round.
This reminds of the Eliezer Yudkowsky tweet saying that AI was going to hack our DNA and use our bodies to mine bitcoin or something. Ridiculous fearmongering. I have probably read more sci-fi than the average HN user but the whole "superintelligent AI is going to kill us all" hysteria is among the more ridiculous ideas I have ever heard. Really though I have entertained all the doomers propositions and none of them…

> I wonder how much money ... I saw that announcement and my immediate thought was "God yet another thing passive income youtubers will be shilling soon" In general, I was a little confused by this. Sam's demo of creating a GPT didn't seem particularly exciting as well.
I would pay money for a GPT that was incredible at naming types in Swift I’d pay for one that was good at programming rubber ducking There are specific sub-tasks that everyone would pay for to make their lives easier. This marketplace is trying to make that efficient

#176I don't think the target market for this is people looking for extremely knowledgeable LLMs that can handle deep technical tasks, given that you can't even finetune these models. I'd guess this is more of an attempt to poach the market of companies like character.ai. The market for models with a distinct character/personality is absolutely massive right now (see: app store rankings) and users are willing to spend ins…
The ban on "adult themes" is part of the reason people use services other than OpenAI for that kind of thing in the first place.

#177> Finally, ChatGPT Plus now includes fresh information up to April 2023. We’ve also heard your feedback about how the model picker is a pain. Starting today, no more hopping between models; everything you need is in one place. You can access DALL·E, browsing, and data analysis all without switching. You can also attach files to let ChatGPT search PDFs and other document types. Find us at chatgpt.com.
It's so annoying how they say this, I refresh and I still have to hop between models. Just say "rolling out over the next week" if that's what's happening. I even logged out and back in and still the same old way of doing it.
Re: GPTs: Custom versions of ChatGPT
#178they mentioned revenue sharing in the keynote, and I'm eager to find out how that is going to work. There isn't much money in the $20/month subscription to go around to very many other developers
What I was thinking for my own agent hub thing was to sell universal credits and charge per use or token. Then agent developers could specify what they want to charge.

A species doesn't automatically get more altruistic towards other species once it gets smarter. Look at how many species humanity drove to extinction.
Give this essay a read if youre interested in good faith arguments about the danger of AI at the current state of development. https://1a3orn.com/sub/essays-propaganda-or-science.html
Maybe together as a species we can avoid hellish cyberpunk dystopias brought on by regulatory capture of the most powerful technology created by humans thusfar. I can only hope.

#180E.g. one popular comment in the submission about twitter’s new “edgy ai” was that it could be reimplemented as a chatgpt prompt[1]. Looks like this is even more relevant now.
