I've been logged out of the app, and I get an error when I try to sign back in. On the web, I now see "ChatGPT Alpha," with an "Alpha models" dropdown ("Default" is the only option). Trying to chat with it fails with a generic error message as well. What does it all mean?

Same (for others, see the image attached here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38371490)

I always say "ChatGPT Alpha" pop up shortly, when I loaded the UI when my internet connection wasn't that fast. But now I've got to see the dropdown.

EDIT: found this forum entry that talks about alpha https://community.openai.com/t/got-access-to-gpt-4-alpha-on-...

As a paid ChatGPT user for many months now I’m glad they move so fast making the service better. I happily take that over a slowly improving but always reliable service. Let reliability come later. For now it’s great they move fast even at the cost of service disruption.

Completely agree. At work we make everything so bulletproof that leads to zero innovation and it's painful.

If this is related to the weekend’s events, it’s just sad. I subscribed a few weeks ago and chatgpt 4 is such a handy thing to have. They potentially broke up a great company and product for nothing. I think it was Roon on Twitter who put it best: “wanton destruction of a beautiful thing”.

"They potentially broke up a great company and product for nothing." Wake up, the AI chatbot craze phase is over. Find some other ways to boost your productivity that are more reliable and will not turn your brain into pudding.

I don’t use it for productivity, I’m not a software engineer.

Likely connected to the fact that they released voice chat for free users an hour ago. https://x.com/openai/status/1727065166188274145 Assuming these two things are related, if I may editorialize just a tiny bit, I am a little annoyed at how much their rollouts often disrupt service for paying customers. Paid users being impacted by free user rushes really sucks, but is understandable. API developers being impacted b…

I prefer the Pi app's voice chat ... it has a lot more personality and will play along with questions like whose your spirit animal: Mother Teresa or Obama. It will provide an answer there yet when you ask it the same question using Trump and Hitler it refuses to answer lol Overall Chat GPT's voice chat needs some zing to it when compared to Pi. Yet either both are awesome pieces of technology, just prefer one over t…

I love Pi, but I'm not on the market for asking it to act like Hitler or talk about relating to Mother Teresa or not.

The ability to say "Hey what's happened in the OpenAI saga in the last 8 hours" or "How did do last night" and get a voice response while I'm walking my dog is the sort of thing I care about.

As long as this is reasonably communicated to all who pay, I’m generally of the same mind. It just takes a “this is a beta, there may be the occasional outage” banner.

I know it would probably be a little more work but I would appreciate a `stable` and a `preview` site/endpoint. There are times when things go down that I need it and it would be nice to have a stable endpoint to hit. Yes, it's great that they're moving quickly but I pay $20 a month... I think they can do a little more to guarantee uptime.

If this was GitHub (or even X or Threads) that went down, you would never see a comment like this:

"As a paid GitHub user for many months now I’m glad they move so fast making the service better. I happily take that over a slowly improving but always reliable service. Let reliability come later. For now it’s great they move fast even at the cost of service disruption."

No user accepts frequent service disruption. Especially GitHub which falls over more times than X or Threads.

Sure im just testing how neutral it is as I want my AI as neutral as possible and it's fun to test out using it with friends ... for me personally.

I have made Pi go off the rails (things it said in responses to my out there questions lol) with my tests and it has cracked my friends and I up. Fun!

It depends what it is! GitHub is basically infrastructure so yes.. but I'll take the tradeoff with chat gpt
