I'm still waiting for Hacker News to band together and simply start building an open model that does not require a corporate daddy like OpenAI, Microsoft, Baidu, Google, or anyone else. These models have no place being owned by corporations. The services that use these models are certainly up for grabs, but the models should be open. Who is trying to rally the community to this cause?

With google vs DuckDuckGo etc you can see what websites are returned, and get a sense of the kind of authoritative sources used
With this kind of tech, there’s no real way to know except by comparing precise prompts with one another. But if they’re all behind corporate walls, and they share incentives to say similar things, we’re none the wiser

#34Maybe there's an embargo? Because normally if reporters had access, they'd immediately post results to twitter.
Here's one take: https://twitter.com/jjvincent/status/1638182196283609092
- it's faster (though presumably that's because of limited users)
- unlike Bing, it doesn't cite sources (unless it directly quotes them)
- it seems relatively constrained, giving answers that are anodyne and often dull

#36So it's simultaneously more neutered and less stable than what OpenAI already offers, in addition to being years behind. What exactly is the benefit to being an early adopter of this when there are better alternatives?

#37Overall this just seems underwhelming. Most HN comment's I've read are people saying it doesn't work with their account, doesn't work in their country, doesn't work for some other reason, or works and is very limited compared to ChatGPT.
Google what have you been up to?
