OpenAI released a ChatGPT API while reducing the cost by 10x. For those claiming OpenAI is for profit: Why would OpenAI do this if they were fixated on making money? Also, while I wish OpenAI released the code for ChatGPT, I applaud OpenAI for actually making their AI model available, to everyone, right now. * Google hyped their Bard chatbot...but where is it? * Facebook took down Galatica. * Even Bing Chat has a wai…

please... the past ten years is a story of companies loosing money for getting a monopoly and you are still asking us why would they do that? let's not forget the shift of narrative that "open" AI made from their name, their marketing and use of opensource and then their move to a commercial subset of microsoft. let's also not forget that they totally avoided discussing copyrights and the crawlings of datasources to…

OpenAI never promised to be open source.

They promised to create a lab where the benefits of AI would accrue to the people, not just existing tech giants.

They did that. They created a API where individuals and small businesses alike can use cutting edge AI technology via API. You have to pay, that's the only catch.

I don't see a DeepMind API. I don't see an Anthropic API. I don't see a Google Bard API. I don't see a FB Galactica API.

I hope OpenAI wins this battle.

Feels like people running small websites monetised with ads will get killed. Why go to a recipe website to search for healthy meals for your kids if you can ask chat gpt in Instacart? :(

No more scrolling through a thousand lines of SEO optimization disguised as some deep heartfelt backstory before getting to the actual recipe? That sounds like a huge win to me.

You are like 2 months out of date. Stable diffusion now has a massive ecosystem around it (civitai/automatic1111), that when used well, completely crushes any competitors in terms of the images it produces. Midjourney is still competitive, but mostly because its easier to use. Dalle2 will get you laughed out of the room in any ai art discussion.

It's amazing that "being two months out of date" in AI means that you are already a dinosaur

Besides HN, what other venues are popular for staying current on this topic?

I thought it was Midjourney who stole their thunder. Stable Diffusion is free but it's much harder to get good results with it. Midjourney on the other hand spits out art with a very satisfying style.

I love that there are so many options that people disagree about which is best. THAT is probably the worst thing that can happen to OpenAI - not just one competitor, but a whole heap of them.

>For those claiming OpenAI is for profit: Why would OpenAI do this if they were fixated on making money? Silicon Valley companies have for the past 25 years focused on getting as many users as possible to increase valuation in the hope of getting a $100 billion exit. They don't care about current or near future profitability. However I agree that OpenAI is getting far too much hate. Their goal of bringing openness to…

If OpenAI wanted to exit, Microsoft would be happy to buy them immediately for tens of billions. They're already valued at $30B. Why haven't they?

Hopefully so, would really like to know what else is lost by nerfing potentially offensive responses. Can't imagine a project I'd rather work on. I think open-assistant.io has a chance to do exactly this. We'll see what kind of moves they make in coming months though, wouldn't be surprised if they go the safer route.

I do struggle with understanding why people think this is strangling the potential of GPT. Do you find yourself frustrated working with your colleagues, thinking, “you know, I bet if they felt more free to utter racist slurs or endorse illegal activities, we would get a ton more done around here”?

I can only see it affecting 'art', where you might want to have characters that are despicable say despicable things.

But really we shouldn't be using AI to make our art for us anyway. Help, sure, but it shouldn't be literally writing our stories.

Agriculture reduced the global human economy/resource production doubling time from 100,000s of years to 1000s of years. Industrial revolution dropped it from 1000s to 10s or even 1s. If AI follows the same path it becomes 0.1 - 0.01 years.

Your 401k wouldn't need 40 years to build a comfortable retirement, only 4 weeks.

can't you do whisper stuff for free already?

You can. You're just paying for compute and having it managed. Here's price estimates for 1,000 hours of audio on GCP: https://www.assemblyai.com/blog/how-to-run-openais-whisper-s...

For reference, from OpenAI it would be $360 and it's the large-v2 model.
