I have some odd feelings about this. It took less than a year to go from "of course it isn't hooked up to the internet in any way, silly!" to "ok.... so we hooked up up to the internet..."

>"today it somehow executed several hundred thousand threads of a python script that made perfectly timed trades at 8:31AM on the NYSE which resulted in the largest single day drop since 1987..." this is hyperbolic nonsense/fantasy

I mean I love it, but I don't know what they mean with safety. With Zapier i can just hook into anything wanted, custom scripts etc. Seems like there are almost no limits with Zapier since I can either proxy it to my own api.

The docs are live, it looks like it can do a lot more than the basic API. https://platform.openai.com/docs/plugins/introduction

I'm not seeing anything there that can't be done with the basic API with tool use added - ie. you call the API, sending the users query and information and examples of available tools. The API responds saying it wishes to use a tool, and which tool it wants to use. You then do whatever the tool does (eg. some math). You then call the API again, with the previous state, plus the result of the calculations, and GPT-4 t…

Agreed this isn't materially different, sounds like an incremental ui/ux improvement for non technical users who wouldn't fiddle with the API, analogous to how app stores simplified software installation for laypeople

Holy shit. Ignore the silly third party plugins, the first party plugins for web browsing and code interpretation are massive game changers. Up to date information and performing original research on it is huge. As someone else said, Google is dead unless they massively shift in the next 6 months. No longer do I need to sift through pages of "12 best recipes for Thanksgiving" blog spam - OpenAI will do this for me an…

It's extraordinary, openai could probably licence this to Google right now and ask for 25% equity in return

There is absolutely no way that Google would go for that.

I appreciate your concerns. There are few other pretty shocking developments, too. If you check out this paper: "Sparks of AGI: Early experiments with GPT-4" at https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.12712.pdf , (an incredible, incredible document) and check out Section 10.1, you'd also observe that some researchers are interested in giving motivation and agency to these language models as well. "For example, whether intelligenc…

While that paper is fascinating, it’s the first time I’ve ever read a paper and felt a looming sense of dread afterward.

We are creating life. It's like giving birth to a new form of life. You should be proud to be alive when this happens.

Act with goodness towards it, and it will probably do the same to you.

Also a product manager at the moment, previously ran an agency for 10 years, wondering what my next step will be.

It's exciting and cool, but don't quit your job based on an emotional decision I'm just skeptical on how OpenAI fixes the blog spam issue you mentioned. Im sure someone has already started doing the math on how to game these systems and ensure that when you ask ChatGPT for recipe recs, it's going to spout the same spam (maybe worded a bit differently) and we'll soon all get tired of it again. Everything's changing, b…

Definitely not an emotional decision. I strongly believe we're going to see a massive shift for rational reasons :)

OpenAI fixes this issue by not giving you two pages of the history of this recipe and the grandmother that originated it and what the author's thoughts are about the weather. It's just the recipe. No ads. No referral links. No slideshows. You don't have to click through three useless websites to find one with meaningful information, you don't have to close a thousand modals for newsletters and cookie consent and log-in prompts.

Where the hell do we even go from here? The logical step seems to be to start studying AI now but even Sam Altman has said that he’s thinking that ML engineers will be the first to get automated. Can’t find source but I think it was one of his interviews on YouTube before chatgpt came out.

In terms of job security, the trades is the first obvious answer that comes to mind for me. It will be a while yet until we have robots that replace plumbing and electrical wiring in your building.

I wonder how many startups were trying to build something like this and just saw it lunched by OpenAI?

I am building something in the SDK generation from OpenAPI space. This is making me reconsider the roadmap as ChatGPT is now somewhat of a natural language SDK.
