My biggest complaint with OpenAI/ChatGPT is their horrible "marketing" (for lack of a better term). They announce stuff like this (or like plugins), I get excited, I go to use it, it hasn't rolled out to me yet (which is frustrating as a paying customer), and my only recourse is.... check back daily? They never send an email "Plugins are available for you!", "Voice chat is now enabled on your account!" and so often I…

At least you’re seeing an option for ‘New Features’ in settings. I don’t see it and I’m supposedly up to date (and a Plus subscriber).

It would be sufficient to do exams in person and no longer grade homework.

Good point. Though I imagine fully online institutions would require testing facilities. Maybe local libraries become testing hosts?

I studied at a distance university and they use lecture halls of local universities for the exams.

The thought of my children being put to bed by a machine is horrifying. Then again, perhaps this is better than many kids have. Shudder.

I actually think that what is sad is that it seems as if having viable future as a creative visual artist is likely done. This was a major, major, major outlet and sanctuary for certain types of people to find meaning and fulfillment in their life which is now in the process of being wiped out for a quick buck. We'll be told by OpenAI and friends is that it shouldn't be a problem, because those were mundane tasks and…

I'm not following your argument - I am a visual artist. I do it for myself, as you said, as an outlet. I enjoy it.

If AI can also create images... I don't see how that changes what I enjoy. There are already better painters than I, and more productive painters than I. They make money with it, I don't. This doesn't stop me from painting. Neither will AI that can paint. I'll still do what I enjoy.

I just don't understand how they can package all of this for $20/m. Is compute really that cheap at scale? I also wonder how Apple (& Google) is going be able to provide this for free? I would love to be fly in the meetings they have about this, imagine all the innovators dilemma like discussions they'd be forced to have (we have to do this vs this will eat up our margins). This might be a little out there but I thin…

Why worry about money when you have enough money in the bank to last until Judgement Day?

Emailing users when a new feature is enabled for their account isn't even the kind of thing that would distract an existing very busy developer. You could literally hire an entirely new guy, give him instructions to build such an email system, and let him put the right triggers on the user account permissions database to send out the right emails at the right time. And then, when it's built, you can start adding more…

The peanut gallery could (and does) say this about 1000 little features that 1000 different people claim to be so necessary that OpenAI is incompetent for not having, yet none of those people agree that those other features are priorities.

They could hire 1000 new developers a month and still be understaffed vs any company in history with thier valuation.

This announcement seem to have killed so many startups that were trying to do multi-modal on top of ChatGPT. The way it's progressing with solving use cases with images and voice, not too far when it might be the 'one app to rule them all'. I can already see "Alexa/Siri/Google Home" replacement, "Google Image Search" replacement, ed-tech startups that were solving problems with AI using by taking a photo are also doo…

I’ve got one eye on https://www.elto.ai/ . I was pitching something I like better earlier this year (I still think they’re missing a few key things), but with backing from roughly YC, Meta, and God, and a pretty clear understanding that robustness goes up a lot faster than capability goes down? I wouldn’t count out focused, revenue-oriented players with Meta’s shit in their pocket out just yet.

wow Elto seems to kill many of the incumbents in this niche

what do you think they’re missing? i was trying to build a diaper but it would be impossible to compete with these guys

Considering the field and progress that is being made I find this idea terrifying. All the big problems like "How will we actually control what we're building?" being answered "that's too hard; let's punt and solve that after we figure out how to consume voice data". One way or another this is likely the last technological advance that humans will make.

The last technological advance that humans will make? What gives you that impression

_if_ it is better at making advances then us then everything in human nature points to us letting it make all future advances.

The TTS is better than Eleven Labs. It has a lot more of the narrative oomph (compare the intonation of the story and poem) even the best other models seem to lack.

I really really hope this is available in more languages than English.

Also Google, Where's Gemini ?

This is the dagger that will make online schooling unviable. ChatGPT already made it so that you could easily copy & paste any full-text questions and receive an answer with 90% accuracy. The only flaw was that problems that also used diagrams or figures would be out of the domain of ChatGPT. With image support, students could just take screenshots or document scans and have ChatGPT give them a valid answer. From wha…

Well, I think the kid will already be logged into ChatGPT using a AI Teacher ChatGPT plugin which is doing interactive instruction. They can still log in on their phone to cheat though. I wonder if OpenAI will add linked accounts and parental controls at some point. Instance 2 of ChatGPT might "tell" on the kid for cheating by informing Instance 1 running the AI Teacher plugin.

Will be kind of stupid to cut kids off from ChatGPT and pretend to them that they should go off to school, meanwhile Silicon Valley is doing it's best to make every job possible obsolete? Kind of invalidates the whole exercise of the current approach to schooling right?

What are you going to school for, to learn how to write essays? Well, we have an app for that ?

It sounds like the future of work will be prompting, and if and when that is obsolete...who knows what...
