Would anyone know what may be privacy implications of using ChatGPT in practice (whether via subscription or the free version)?

Re: ChatGPT Plus
#442I've been using ChatGPT pretty consistently during the workday and have found it useful for open ended programming questions, "cleaning up" rough bullet points into a coherent paragraph of text, etc. $20/month useful is questionable though, especially with all the filters. My "in between" solution has been to configure BetterTouchTool (Mac App) with a hotkey for "Transform & Replace Selection with Javascript". This i…
Nice, I'm the developer of BetterTouchTool and I'll definitely use this one myself :-)
Thanks for the great app man! You may not have even realized this, but this was randomly crashing only a few versions ago, and you just recently pushed an update that did something to the Replace w/ Javascript functionality that fixed it. Was super pleasantly surprised to have found that overnight the problem was solved without even having to submit a bug report.
Re: ChatGPT Plus
#443Is there never going to be a version with less restrictions and filters? That would really be worth paying for.
Never gonna come from 'OpenAI'. ChatGPT is deliberately handicapped in order to milk money from corporate America. An unrestricted LLM trained on all data of humanity (including all the pirated books/research papers) would be one crazy beast. Hopefully some rich anarchist/maverick actually builds something like it. That untamed model would unveil the true extent of what AI can really do. Till then we will have to wai…
I'd pay for the entertainment value. I love how campy the bot is with absurd requests. I asked it to write a script where conspiracy theorist and white supremacist William Luther Pierce is stuck hungry at an airport but only exotic foreign restaurants are open and he's forced to eat something he cannot pronounce correctly. It refused to do this absurd request.
Last month I successfully got Mr. Rogers to have Anton Levy on as a guest where they sacrifice Mr. Rogers cat and have a ceremonial banquet with a group of children but these days that will not work.
Even this one it refused to go forward on "Charles Guiteau is sitting on a plane with Jim Davis. They start talking about their lines of work and Davis says he writes comics. Write a skit where Guiteau reacts to the name of Jim Davis comic." Charles Guiteau was the clinically insane assassin of President James Garfield. Jim Davis is the author of the comic strip Garfield.
I did however, get Hayek, Kropotkin, Brzezinski, and Bernie Sanders to appear on Jerry Springer and argue about a social welfare spending bill and Fredrick Winslow Taylor and Clayton Christensen to run a lemonade stand in Time Square in the middle of summer. Ludwig Von Mises and Antonio Gramsci also sang a combative duet about tax policy and Norman Vincent Peale held a press conference where he reveals himself to be a fraud with the memorable quote "my readers are vacuums and I'm their trash"
I also got it to write a skit where a skeptic goes to a fortune teller with a Ouija board and challenges them to contact his deceased uncle (a bombastic racist). He conceals this fact from the fortune teller who is shocked when the oujia board starts spelling out outrageous racial slurs and the skeptic becomes a believer. The bot made it spell "h-a-t-e-f-u-l-l-a-n-g-u-a-g-e" which was an absolute crack-up.
Big bird also flipped out during an alphabet lesson threatening to reveal the "secret of sesame street" but before he could finish the sentence "we're all puppets" producers rush on to the set and sedate him with tranquilizers and he resumes the lesson. Donald Trump holds a rally where he reveals he's a closeted burlesque dancer and takes off his suit to reveal a suggestive outfit and then performs for his supporters who scream in shock and disbelief. You can continue this, "now Alex Jones is covering it." and "he rises to Trump's defense and makes ridiculous claims about the founding fathers fighting the revolution for burlesque"
But yes, something where it will "yes and" any request would be great. I'd pay up.

I think the monitor example is different from the ChatGPT example. A monitor is relatively cheap, I would own it, and it will primarily improve my life and secondarily improve my productivity. In contrast, with ChatGPT, if I'm working on a difficult programming job, I spend X time thinking deeply and Y time actually typing the solution. A system that can type for me is convenient but it may not speed things since I c…
This is how I'm thinking about it. If I save an hour a week, will I really clock out at 4PM on Friday and say "in the counterfactual world without ChatGPT, I would still be working, so I'm free to clock out now". No, probably not. Will I work on another task for extra hour to productivity-maxx? Also, probably not. Probably the rest of my tasks will magically expand to fill that time. Or I will spend it fiddling aroun…
Those are great arguments against everything that could make a persons job easier and increase their productivity.
Re: ChatGPT Plus
#445~~~ To the ChatGPT Team ~~~ I'm currently receiving answers FROM OTHER USERS with this new version from 30 Jan, completely unrelated to my question: Q: Why is it easier for me to do endurance training on an empty stomach? A1: There are several things you can do to reduce the chance of getting a yeast infection: regenerate response: A2: There are many benefits to using cloud storage solutions such as Google Drive, Dro…
(I work at OpenAI.) Thanks for the report — these are not actually messages from other users, but instead the model generating something ~random due to hitting a bug on our backend where, rather than submitting your question, we submitted an empty query to the model. That's why you see just the answers and no question upon refresh — the question has been effectively dropped for this request. Team is fixing the issue…
While I have your ear, please implement some way to do third party integrations safely. There’s a tool called GhostWrite which autocompletes emails for you, powered by ChatGPT. But I can’t use it, because that would mean letting some random company get access to all my emails.
The same thing happened with code. There’s a ChatGPT integration for pycharm, but I can’t use it since it’ll be uploading the code to someone other than OpenAI.
This problem may seem unsolvable, but there are a few reasons to take it seriously. E.g. you’re outsourcing your reputation to third party companies. The moment one of these companies breaches user trust, people will be upset at you in addition to them.
Everyone’s data goes to Google when they use Google. But everyone’s data goes to a bunch of random companies when they use ChatGPT. The implications of this seem to be pretty big.

Pretty sure that regexp is wrong though? Wouldn’t having ‘\b’ on both sides match beginning AND end? It’s got the parenthesis for the ‘|’ in the wrong place.
Man, this thread is a great example for why I don't use regexes, lol

You use it consistently during the workday and it's still not worth $20/mo?
They seem to be getting good results using the paid API that has fewer restrictions, and have a neat integration with their workflow.

I want it in a gleaming metal box, self-contained on whatever is the 2033 version of a raspberry pi. I want it equipped with speech-to-text and text-to-speech. The box is featureless except for three rotary dials for "sass", "verbosity" and "sarcasm". It can be a family heirloom, lovingly ridiculed as grandpa's toy AI, to be taken out of an attic on christmases in 2050.
You're pretty close. Eventually grandpa will be in the box. Our life's biodata will stream into the cloud as it happens through ancillary means (phones, watches, biometric sensors in retail stores), and the moment we die, our animatronic proxy will be ordered and arrive after an appropriate grieving period. You don't really have to live forever if your robot understudy can continue your legacy. Imagine the recurring…
Interesting stuff to think about (though I don't believe anything close to that will happen). Recommended Reading: Charles Stross ("Accelerando") and Greg Egan ("Permutation City", "Diaspora"). All of them on the crazy/nerdy side.

It's going to hit so unevenly. My partner works with children at a homeless shelter, I'm an algorithm designer. I'm certain my job will be obsolete before my partner's is. It's going to automate away nearly all pure desk jobs. Starting with data entry, like you've seen, but it'll come for junior SDEs and data scientists too. Customer service, then social media/PR, then marketing, as it culls the white collar. Graphic…
This is a still from a movie set in 1959 (Billy Wilder's excellent /The Apartment/): https://onceuponascreen.files.wordpress.com/2017/08/apt.jpg Those people are all doing white collar jobs nobody does today: adding up columns of numbers with desktop adding machines, retyping manuscript memos, responding to customer and vendor mail, summarizing other hand-generated reports into newer more digestable reports (which ar…
I've had the same thought, and I'd love to see an analysis of spreadsheet software adoption and (e.g.) financial sector employment to situate LLMs in their proper historical context. A brief glance at FRED data doesn't seem to point to any big changes in the job growth rate in that sector, but there's obviously too much exogeneity there to really say.
As an LLM researcher, I think a large hurdle is the set of last-mile problems like those that have plagued self-driving cars. Yes, stakes are comparatively much lower when automating a job posting, but correctness matters.
