So soon enough we'll get stuff like: > Me: Give me a small sample code in Ruby that takes two parameters and returns the Levenshtein distance between them. > ChatGPT: DID YOU HEAR ABOUT C#? It's even faster that light, now with better performance than Ruby!!! Get started here: https://ms.com/cs I can generate the code in Ruby or I can give you 20% discount on Microsoft publishing on any C# book!!!

Or you will pay a monthly subscription and get no ads.

Like my paid ad-free subscriptions to:

-Cable TV -Netflix -Hulu -Amazon Prime Video

...oh wait, they all introduced ads.

i became more and more repulsed as i read your comment. I felt myself twitch towards the end of it.

Neuralink has entered the...dream?

For now it's more likely to do the opposite. Communities like HN do seem to like fringe and questionable languages like Ruby a lot to their own detriment. And that is, naturally, a part of dataset.

Yeah, but then even open source models optimize for popular languages; I recall one explicitly mentioning being trained for ~top 16 or so languages in Stack Overflow developer survey. Good for my C++ dayjob, if I could use one of them; bad for my occasional after-work Lisping.

I want the robot to write C++ for me, but I won't let it take my lisp.

I can only hope we're so lucky that the enshittification happens that quickly and thoroughly. It would be yet another clear demonstration that technology won't save us from our social system. It will just get us even more of it, good and hard. The utopian hype is a lie.

Indeed. How much more evidence do we need that in the end, technology always is at the service of the power structure; the structure stutters briefly at the onset of innovation until it manages to adapt and harness technology to reinforce the positions of the powerful. Progress happens in that brief period before the enshittification takes root. The FAANGS exist now solely to devour innovators and either stamp them out or assimilate them, digesting them into their gluttonous, gelatinous ooze.

OpenAI's only plan is to grow fast enough to be a new type of slime.

I hope they keep a subscription to let me pay for non ad results. I'm assuming the non ad google results are still somehow influenced by how much money they make google so I wish google offered something similar

I remember being naive. Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu were paid subscriptions.

Later, ads were introduced despite already paying for service. In which the added a new tier for “no ads” but pay an extra fee for the privilege.

This reeks of the "manic charlie smoking a cig in front of a pinboard" meme

I'd gladly appoint Pepe Silvia to the board of OpenAI.

Folks who are reacting with > ugh I hate ads. Bye ChatGPT subscription! I would recommend reading the article in full. The gist is all of these efforts are in exchange for realtime browsing. In other words: if you ask it "who won this weekend's f1 race?" It can browse ESPN for the answer, then tell you "here's what ESPN says." Exactly like you'd see on Google. Or, you know, ESPN.com. Certainly a better experience tha…

The people who are reacting with

> ugh I hate ads. Bye ChatGPT subscription!

are merely two years ahead of you in the product lifecycle. All advertising is spam. It is a cancer that gobbles up all host environments until nothing but ad content is left.
