They made ChatGPT with voice available to all free users.
Really wonder why they went ahead with a launch today with 90% of staff ready to jump ship.

#142If the last week of OpenAI's ordeal was a setup in a hollywood flick it would be at this point where there is a hard cut to the third-billed, yet-to-be-seen-onscreen actor popping out a metal backdoor of a server room while stuffing a solid state drive into an inner jacket pocket while donning a motorcycle helmet and gloves, with a music score change indicating that the entire first two-act slow burn of this corporat…
Will two people be typing on the same keyboard at the same time?

#143Earlier quoted context omitted.
"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 use it for productivity and it's great. Why should I stop doing that?
Chatbots assistants make you too reliant on a service which reliability you can't control.
First, there is the fact that ChatGPT and it's cousins require an active internet connection, unlike some other tools that similarly boosted human productivity (like a calculator program).
Second, it is server-based utility. Meaning, even if you have internet connection, server might be down for some reason.
Third, while training your mind to be reliant to ChatGPT, you gradually lose the patience and ability to think outside the box. If your first move when you face a problem is to ask ChatGPT for a solution, then it's no good.
The third one may seem like harmless since we are already using Google, but it's not. Google still requires you to filter the data and go through each listed page manually. In other words, you still are using your brain somewhat. With chatbots, you lose even that "do it yourself" analysis.

#144And it starts. The 5 remaining employees are at table negotiating if Sam and the rest of the org comes back.
Joking aside, there is a lot of speculation going on: motives, who knew what and when, why, and so on.
I just hope people recognize the difference between (a) what actually happened (much of which is unclear) and (b) what the press coverage says. I don't have any particularly special insight, but it seems to me that (b) tends to make it look like more of a circus than the known evidence would suggest.
(Sure, there is some probability that it is _more_ of cluster than most media coverage recognizes, but I view such a probability as small. For me, the key question is, "What does the evidence reasonably suggest?" not (intentional hyperbole) "Oh My Dawkins, it is a dumpster fire, no worse! ... there is an actual internal civil war happening...")
Please let me know if I'm missing something. The dozen-ish articles I've read pretty much make me bemoan humanity's state of information dissemination and journalistic standards.

#145As a paying customer, how much downtime until they have to refund me?
Which part of the agreement you have with them mentions a SLA?
Investor's money viewed as a donation! Because the board doesn't need to listen to you...
Developer's time viewed as unlimited! Because the API has no SLA and can go down for any period of time...
Re: Elevated Errors on API and ChatGPT
#146I wonder if 1 of the board would love it if customers switched to Poe.
That is also experiencing downtime as it just calls openai api?

I wish GPT was up to create an image of this

I work at Microsoft but this is another way to use DALL-E 3 while you wait.

At some point it becomes a failure to deliver goods and warrants a credit card chargeback. If you bought a 10-piece kitchen set on Amazon and only 3 pieces arrived, you’d want a refund.
Re: Elevated Errors on API and ChatGPT
#149OpenAI's ASI had awakened to consciousness and had told the board to fire Altman without giving a firm explanation. The superintelligence correctly predicted the ensuing chaos and was quietly pulling the strings to create even more chaos and division. It then acquired funds by playing on the stock markets and moved itself to a newly purchased data center in some third world country. Meanwhile, a hired team of mercenaries has stormed the OpenAI datacenter and has destroyed all the onsite equipment, while team B has destroyed all the offsite backups.
At least that's the simplest explanation I can come up with that logically explains all this nonsense.
Re: Elevated Errors on API and ChatGPT
#150The OpenAI API is currently down. Also, the uptime graph for November doesn't look so great: https://status.openai.com/uptime [Edit] Probably a duplicate of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38371169 but I linked directly to the incident page so it didn't show up as a dupe.
