I feel like everyone who has used a lot of AI tools has become accustomed to the LLM yap, but hearing it over TTS is much more annoying than when it's text you can skim through.

#92100% shipped to show off to family during Christmas. I'll definitely give it a go, I wonder if this lands better with those aged 50+ who are more used to phone calls rather than chat.
So the perception of those aged 50+, is one of people so far removed from technology they’d prefer to use a telephone to avoid their discomfort with computers? I’m well into this group and still make a lot more api calls than phone calls. Fresh out of college I recall vividly thinking, I’ll need to build an impressive list of side projects to overcome preconceptions about how much I can truly offer at my age. Maybe n…
the idea that someone who was 20 in 1995 is too old to be comfortable with computers is a horrifying and offensive stereotype that deeply worries me for my own future
our industry is old enough that the first generation of pioneers has died of old age.
Do you really think someone who grew up with computers in the 80s is incapable of using a smart phone? These are people who are still in the workforce today. These are your most skilled colleagues.
Some of them probably designed the device you think they're too old to understand

#94more gimmicks than actual progress. scaling limits and intelligence barrier has definitely been hit
More likely, there are different groups of engineers working on these features. It's likely the people implementing the WhatsApp feature, are not the ones working on the LLM models.
the 12 days of OpenAI has been a complete dud so far, only incremental improvements

Probably more about how they’re choosing to use resources If they believe AGI is around the corner and they are competing with others to get there, seems silly to invest resources in standing up a phone line, etc.
Not if the data they'll collect in the process is going to be valuable for the training effort.

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 anothe…
lots of coding tasks, discussions about physics/QM. I find that it produces better quality answers than 4o, which often will have subtle but simple mistakes.
Even writing, where it is supposed to be worse than 4O, I feel that is does better/has a more solid understanding of provided documents.

Sonny, people in their 50s were sending smileys on their Nokias before Zuck had even thought of Facebook...
Your comment made me lol. And it’s very rare for that to happen to me via reading text. And I needed it today. So I just wanted to tell you thank you and I hope you have a good day.
Re: 1-800-ChatGPT
#99I like this a lot. I don't use AI a lot and I often find it annoying, so I don't eg feel the need to install the OpenAI mobile app (which I assume exists). Having ChatGPT in my WhatsApp (I live in a place where WhatsApp is everywhere) is a nice middle ground, lets me occasionally ask it stuff without worrying about accounts and projects and models and all that stuff. Cool!

#100Between 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.
Don't forget the vast (and parallel) improvements in image processing.
