You can say that about anything, though. BigCorps aren't exactly known for adopting useful tech on a reasonable timeline, let alone at all. I don't think anyone is under the impression that orgs who refuse to migrate off of Java 5 will be looking at OpenAI for anything.

No, this is silly reasoning. A middle manager somewhere has no clue what Java 5 is. But he does know -- or let's say IMAGINES what he knows about ChatGPT. And unlike Java 5-- he just needs to use his departmental budget and instantly mandate that his team now use ChatGPT. Whatever that means you can argue it. But ChatGPT is a front line technology and super accessible. Java 5 is super back end and very specialized. T…

Those of us who've been around for a long time know that's pretty much how Java worked as well. All of the non-technical "manager" magazines started running advertorials (no doubt heavily astroturfed by Sun) about how great Java was. Those managers didn't know what Java was either. All they knew (or thought they knew) was that all the "smart managers" were using Java (according to their "smart manager" magazines), and the rest was history.

I'd love to see a language model that was only trained on public domain and openly available content. It would probably be way too little data to give it ChatGPT-like generality, but even a GPT-2 scale model would be interesting.

If, hypothetically, libraries in the US - including in particular the Library of Congress - were to scan and OCR every book, newspaper and magazine they have with copyright protection already expired, would that be enough? Is there some estimate for the size of such dataset?

Much of that material is already available at https://archive.org. It might be good enough for some purposes, but limiting it to stuff before 1928 (in the United Sates) isn't going to be very helpful for (e.g.) coding.

Maybe if you added github projects with permissive licenses?

Dreaming of the day I run my own models and can be entirely responsible for my own outages.

And then you will have to endure not using a model by OpenAI that is 10x better than a local one

What is so special about OpenAI's cloud hardware that one can't build themselves a similar server to run AI models of similar size?

I found this to be the case, but was able to get work done via the playground[1] [1] https://platform.openai.com/playground

I wasn't aware of this platform feature. Can you share some links that have descriptions of how to use this or examples of using it productively? I have only recently subscribed to the service and still learning how to use it effectively.

Phind is pretty good for coding (LLama 2 trained on billions of extra code tokens) and is still up https://www.phind.com/s

I am curious how people are using Phind.

I actually had a discussion with Phind itself recently, in which I said that in order to help me, it seems like it would need to ingest my codebase so that it understands what I am talking about. Without knowing my various models, etc, I don't see how it could write anything but the most trivial functions.

It responded that, yes, it would need to ingest my codebase, but it couldn't.

It was fairly articulate and seemed to understand what I was saying.

So, how do people get value out of Phind? I just don't see how it can help with any case where your function takes or returns a non-trivial class as a parameter. And if can't do that, what is the point?

Glad I managed to get some work done with it while it was working for a few hours. Holy smokes the code interpreter functionality has been a complete game changer for my workflow.

I have a tampermonkey script that downloads any files that the prompt returns... a python script locally to watch for file changes and extract the contents to the projects working directory and it can work both ways, if I edit my prompts.txt local file, it passes that data to openai’s currently opened chat and renames the file and creates a new empty prompt.txt

Do you think the next step may be that it actually replaces you as a programmer?
