So i guess the next wave of startups has been killed. I'm not even sure what kind of startup still makes sense as a gpt thin wrapper?

I think people may be overstating this. OpenAI has obvious brand and distribution advantages for their end-user facing products, but they aren't guaranteed to hit the bullseye and be the market leader in every category. ChatGPT plugins, for example, have never really taken off. Startups like Perplexity and Phind are doing just fine in the "search the web with AI" space that plugins were supposedly going to dominate.

I'd say that trying to build a business plugging gaps in OpenAI's infrastructure offerings (fine-tuning, RAG, etc.) is quite perilous, since this is really their core competency. But they've still had just one big user-facing hit so far: ChatGPT.

Wrapping OpenAI for a specific use case then building better workflows and UI for that use case than ChatGPT seems like it's still a pretty reasonable strategy. OpenAI isn't going to build the ideal workflow/UI for every use case.

I don’t understand why more people aren’t creating digital doubles of their brain..? You train your own LLM for practically free and have your own digital double to maximize any and all productivity. Why is there not more of this?

Several github repos around this concept including Khoj and Danswer.

They still have that - it's just regular GPT-4. One immediate application about this one is that it makes it trivial to create a fine tuned version of GPT based on your data, where you can upload a series of documents that can basically act like a set of embeddings that augment the regular GPT trained data.

> create a fine tuned version of GPT No. It's unclear fine-tuning is happening. Many are guessing it's RAG.

My bad, I wasn't intending fine tune to mean fine tuning the model itself. And leveraging vectorized embeddings as I mentioned IS FUNCTIONALLY a rag-style architecture.

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.

Progress isn't linear. Point me to an AGI on GitHub. Our definition of work changes based on the greatest possible technology at any given moment.

No, they just lie in their marketing > Example GPTs are available today for ChatGPT Plus or > Starting today, no more hopping between models; everything you need is in one place. Neither of which are true. I'm a paying user and I have access to neither. They do this _all the time_. They announce something "available immediately" and it trickles out a week or more later. If they want to do gradual rollouts (which is s…

Are you sure? Both of those went live at 1 PM PST.

I don't have them either. I also get things on mobile and web days apart IIRC.

Their zappier demo was uninspiring. They are trying to appeal to the mainstream (non devs) users when their actual value is the API. Everyday users don´t have access to propriatery data that makes the LLM Bots valuable. This makes me think that open source models are the future, for other reasons as well. No company is going to give them OpenAI their data to make bots, regardless if they won't train on the data. So w…

Can I ask what the goal is here? It's cool to be able to spin up a nicely designed website (and it is nicely designed and has a good aesthetic), but isn't the content going to be semantically empty? I don't want to be negative but it feels like cheap plastic imitation of a real thing, and the web is already full of spammy low quality content. Aren't you in danger of your products having a very short life cycle and en…

The quality of the GPT4 content for travel is surprisingly good, although there are of course plenty of hallucinations and I've a new pass for the content set up that gets rid of the worst offenders. This is really just a learning experiment, but building something of this content scale by 1 person was absolutely impossible a year ago. The point was that content generation use cases might be a viable path give OpenAI…

But does anyone particularly want another travel site full of generic advice? Nothing against your individual project, I'm just saying that the web is already absolutely awash in marketing materials and all-in-one portals. If I'm visiting a place and want to read up on it in advance I tend to look for someone with insider knowledge, otherwise I could just buy a guidebook specifically about that place (might be a bit dated, but the editorial quality in a book is usually orders of magnitude better than the web).

This feels like simply a system prompt generator. It gives you a survey to generate a decent system prompt from, then staples that prompt to the front of any interactions with the GPT. It doesn't seem to be much smarter than a simple "tell me how I should interpret inputs from the user."

One of the things I did not care for is setting my plugin hints from the Custom Instructions setting. It seems this will allow for each "GPT" agent to have their own system instructions which will be quite handy.
