Those two persons fixedly looking to the other person reading some teleprompter that announces this feature -- likely written by ChatGPT -- is the weirdest thing ever.

No teleprompters! We had a video monitor in front of us showing the live feed, that kept distracting me personally.

Oops :)

I meant no disrespect, but from 2' or so, the conversation sounded more natural and things got smooth. Interest feature and I liked the 80's banner with the phone # like in the old TV ads!

OpenAI is diversifying a lot, and I’m not sure that’s a good thing.

It’s great to ship fast. But you need to maintain things as well. And that requires even more time and engineers and money in the end.

There’ll definitely be projects within OpenAI that will be shutdown in a few months, just because it hasn’t caught and/or engineers want to work on something new.

That’s how Google worked in the 2000s - shipping new things fast - but then there was Reader and now they lost everyone’s trust.

Between 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.

yeah, we were definitely stagnant when the focus was on crypto

I would expect nothing but hallucinations and nonsense coming out of any LLM regarding recently-released movies (aka. the ones you often find on flights).

In every post about LLMs there is someone to blindly say something like this. When in reality if you ask ChatGPT for 10 good movies from this year you will get this. Anora - Directed by Sean Baker, a compelling drama about the life of a sex worker in Coney Island. Challengers - A provocative tennis drama directed by Luca Guadagnino, starring Zendaya. Dune: Part Two - Denis Villeneuve's continuation of the epic scienc…

These details are already available in the in flight entertainment interface

Those descriptions are less detailed than the information you will see on basically any streaming interface and yet it still manages to not being very good. For example, no person who had actually seen Anora would describe it as "a compelling drama about the life of a sex worker in Coney Island".

On coast to coast flights, there's often not a good way of knowing what movies are available until after you've left cell coverage. This makes simple research like checking the IMDb score challenging. Alaska Air has a whitelist of messaging services that you can use for free during the flight. WhatsApp is on that list. So if you want to research obscure plane movies on an Alaska flight, you can connect to their wifi…

Looks like this is using GPT-4 and has no knowledge after January 2022.

' As of my knowledge cutoff in January 2022, the last movie I have information on is "Spider-Man: No Way Home", which was released in theaters in December 2021. It was one of the most highly anticipated films of that year, marking a major event in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the Spider-Man franchise. '

Great! Now show me a system that can verify that list for accuracy as well. Not to be flippant, but this is the complaint. You can't approach outputs uncritically. And no I don't want it to be as unreliable as a person who also forgets how English or basic knowledge works at random intervals.

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.
