I've got to wonder, how does a second player in the LLM space even get on the board? Like, this feels a lot like when the iPhone jumped out to grab the lion share of mobile. But the switching costs was much smaller (end users could just go out and buy an Android phone), and network effects much weaker (synergy with iTunes and the famous blue bubbles... and that's about it). Here it feels like a lot of the value is em…

I don't see much of a moat currently, or even developer lockin. The current APIs, and this new plugin architecture are dead simple.

Everyone's been talking about how ChatGPT will disrupt search, but looking at the launch partners, I think this has the potential to completely subvert the OS / App Store layer. On some level, how much do I need an OpenTable app if I can use voice/text input and a multi-modal response that will ultimately book my reservation? Not saying mobile's going away, but this could be the thing that does to mobile what mobile…

This is what Apple's Siri was meant to be. Apple bought Siri from SRI international (Siri = SRI), and when it was launched was meant to include ability to book restaurants etc (thereby bypassing search), but somehow those capabilities were never released and today Siri still can't even control the iPhone! My hot take on ChatGPT plugins is a bit mixed - should be very powerful, and maybe significant revenue generator,…

Google's assistant, on the other hand, did figure out the reservation trick. Reportedly "book a table for four people at [restaurant name] tomorrow night" actually works, though I've never tried it.

I know a large commercial entity will never do this, but I'd love to see a Sci-Hub plugin connected with the Wolfram plugin and whatever other plugins help to understand various realms of study. Imagine being able to ask ChatGPT to dig through research and answer questions based on those papers and theses.

So that square icon to stop generating response was actually intended? I thought it's always been some sort of a fontawesome icon never loading properly in my chats :'D

This could a big win for Microsoft (and big loose to Google and Amazon cloud). Since chatgpt has to query those plugins with http(?)request companies might move their servers to Azure to reduce latency and cost of bandwidth

i think people aren't appreciating it's ability to run -and execute- Python. IT RUNS FFMPEG https://twitter.com/gdb/status/1638971232443076609?s=20 IT RUNS FREAKING FFMPEG. inside CHATGPT. what. is. happening. ChatGPT is an AI compute platform now.

Next:

1. Prompt it to extract the audio track, then give it to a speech-to-text API, translate it to another language, then make it add it back to the video file as a subtitle track.

2. Retrain the model to where it does this implcitly when you say "hey can you add Portuguese subtitles to this for me"?

I’m surprised Apple hasn’t improved siri with a model like this. Currently it’s just trash but with a GPT style model behind it you could actually get it to do things.

I have a feeling this will be an earth shattering moment in time, especially for us. Basically you can plug your business data into the Chatbot now, and ideally (or not far off) there is a transcational API call in the form of dialogue. Sound/Voice/Siri/whatever.... coming soon for more accessability and convenience.

This will decimate frontend developers or at least change the way they provide value soon, and companies not being able to transition into a "headless mode" might get a hard time.
