Re: 1-800-ChatGPT
#42something tells me all these bells and whistles around gpt are signs that scaling laws have plateaued, otherwise OpenAI et al. would focus more on improving model quality. Maybe GPT-4 is the 1080p of LLMs: Noticeably better than 720p and 480p models, and not bad enough to warrant additional improvements. Sure, 4K, 8K, ... are technologically available, but for the majority of use cases, 1080p is enough. Similarly, ev…
Yes, surely they only have one type of Software Engineer and they all know how to improve model quality.
Alternatively, does it not seem more likely that they have different product groups? Surely the folks working on ChatGPT are an entirely different beast than the folks working in model development?

Next month we'll have LetterGPT and by 2026 they'll introduce MorseGPT to let us communicate via telegram
Why stop there? We could have ChatGPT the breakfast cereal! ChatGPT the coloring book! ChatGPT the flamethrower! (the kids love that one) The scary thing is it's actually conceivable to somehow integrate GPT into those things.
ChatGPT the breakfast cereal is just alphabet bites. Nutritious but the next-token prediction accuracy is terrible.

You could do ANYTHING at zombo.com, if I remember correctly. At zombo.com, anything was possible. EDIT: There is one limit at zombo.com. The limit is myself.
You, yes, you, can still do anything at https://zombo.com .
I still can't do things that I can't do, because at zombo.com, I am my own limit.

#45Between purchasing chat.com, and this new 800 number, I sometimes feel like OpenAI is really channeling that 90s dot com era energy.
Controversial take: LLMs are the first time in a while that I have felt like emerging technology trends is doing something cool and adding value. For the past 8-10 years it has all felt like a bunch of apps that just aim to be mediocre middlemen/gig economy brokers with bad customer service.
> doing something cool
Yes.
> and adding value.
No. The only breakthrough innovation LLMs gave us is the ability to speedrun the making of racist pictures. Not sure the world really benefited.

I agree. A good chunk of the tech trends in the last decade were indeed rent seeking, but silent revolution was happening in the transformers and the neural network architecture domain, which made today's products possible.
And I'd wager that there are silent revolutions happening all across colossus that's the tech industry that will become apparent in the next decade.
Jeff Bezos put it best during his recent interview at the 2024 NYTimes Dealbook Summit, "We're living in multiple golden ages at the same time." There's never been a better time to be alive.

#47Memories of GOOG411! And probably same purpose of this. (1) (1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOOG-411
I don't think it's the same purpose. YouTube, TV and Movies offers enough speech samples and a lot of content is dubbed to other languages, and alot of this content already has the transcripts available.
They know who's calling, and the greeting was something like "Hello again". They are catching up at building a competitive database of persons and their preferences at the scale of FAANG. They're moving over from collecting info for their models to collecting info from their users for their agents. This is what they need to offer good agents.
But I might be wrong and it's just phoneme collection, as you speculate.

o1 is way better than gpt-4 imo, feel that many people just don't have complicated tasks/questions they have to do in their day to day. it's like a half jump between 3.5 and 4 to me
That's not been my experience, though I guess it depends on what you're using o1 for.
My experience is that o1 is extremely good at producing a series of logical steps for things. Ask it a simple question and it will write you what feels like an entire manual that you never asked for. For the most part I've stopped caring about integrating AI into software, but I could see o1 being good for writing prompts for another LLM. Beyond that, I have a hard time calling it better than GPT-4+.
How have you been using o1?

I agree about an abundance of apps, but what type of value are LLMs adding?
It can sometimes be useful to input a more "human" search and have something get spit out but 60% of the time it completely lies to you. I'm talking about questions related to web specifications which are public documents. Section numbers, standards names, etc.. will be completely made up.

I don't think this was your intent, but the only interpretation here is that you think the rapid creation of racist pictures is cool.
