How do we get a key? I "applied" by saying i'm interested in it however I have no idea if that has even 1 in 1000 chance of getting me approved :(

I've met people who applied to it at different times. None have got the key yet, including me. I don't think they are handing out many api keys. They probably had some sort of limit in mind when they launched and they probably reached it already. Unless you're a company or individual they are particularly interested in, I think the chances of getting it in the near future are quite slim :(

I am looking forward to all the new AI startups that launch when the OpenAI GPT-3 API goes out of beta. Their secret sauce will be nothing more than a handcrafted prompt, which would be like launching a company based on a fancy SQL query used to query a 3rd party database.

I'm more curious to see what happens when single developers are able to launch products which are vastly better than existing solutions, using just a couple days of effort.

I jokingly said i wanted to have the key so I could replace journalist's jobs.

Still no luck on getting the key.

I applied with, I think, a reasonable use case, but no word either. I don't have much hope to try it in practice anytime soon.

And then the gnashing of teeth 2 years later when the terms or the availability of the API change, making half of the startups nonviable.

Exactly. Building an entire startup on top of someone else's API (Especially when the big players can also access it) doesn't seem to be a great idea.

The only winner here is always OpenAI.

Looks very promising (although I have no API key)!

Feature request: I got surprised when I was asked to sign in. Introduce an anonymous mode where "Sign in with Google" is not enforced. History could be exported locally and imported from the file system.

I keep coming to these threads to read about GUID Partition Tables and disappointed someone is using the initials for something else.

I'm already dreading all the SEO spam it will lead to.

At some point the SEO spam will become so good that it will become interesting content

1) Big Corp approaches the single dev saying that Famous Boss of Big Corp is impressed by his project and would like to hear more about it and maybe acquire his project

2) Single dev shares secret sauce (if necessary) during due diligence

3) Big Corp makes a super low offer

4) Big Corp puts 2 engineers on it to copy the result

5) Big Corp is now Bigger Corp, and single dev is still single.

Initially I thought: wow, finally I can play with GPT-3 without going through the closed beta application process. But the tool requires an OpenAI API key. The linked website doesn't specify that with a single word. It's only mentioned on Github. I've been there myself tbh. When you have worked a lot on something, it's often hard to take a step back and specify all of the basic things that people first exposed to you…

"OpenAI" == Orwellian DoubleSpeak Its literally one of the most closed projects in existence. The fact they call it "OpenAI" is an insult.

You know about it, so it's definitely not "one of the most closed projects in existence." It is perhaps one of the more exclusive and overly-hyped projects.
