I don't mind paying for AI services, but I want it to be transparent. I want to see the source code, the training data and so on. What I'm paying for should be the massive compute infrastructure needed to train and maintain the model, but something like this is way too important and powerful to be a 'blackbox' SAAS product. If we think we have problems with Facebook or Google's hold over us, this has the potential to…

StabilityAI's solution to provide base models everyone can fine-tune seems more useful. APIs are too restrictive and expensive.

Exactly. I see this being eclipsed by the Stable Diffusion equivalent for ChatGPT. You could then have cloud providers offering whatever specialised compute you need to easily run one of these as a server. Host your own instance in other words.

Obviously a lot of people will just want a simple SAAS product still, we won't want or need everyone, hosting their own apps (too energy intensive for a start). This can then be a SAAS offering, but backed by the same open source software.

People are seriously in denial about how powerful this is. As you said this is just the beginning

It's difficult to get someone to understand something when their salary depends upon not understanding it. HN loves to quote this, but when the dung hits the propeller, many can't see that they are just as expendable as anyone else.

I kinda like it honestly. Programmers have been so high on the hog, earning doctors salaries and thinking they are this special class of people where their jobs are totally unassailable. I know many who were earning 200k and have nearly no savings.

I don't think this will eliminate all jobs in the short term but it's going to have an impact very quickly. Hope these people are saving up

Uhh have you used it? It's pretty close. Its not always correct but neither are humans.its generally pretty correct and extremely fast.

No, its not, even in its narrow domain, whose narrowness by itself demonstrates its not anything like a near-human-level intelligence. > Its not always correct but neither are humans. Its a very good text generator, and is very useful. Its nothing even similar to a human-level intelligence.

I think it's actually very close to a human, and is already better than a lot of developers I've worked with. Many are mailing it in producing 20-30 lines of code a week. This will absolutely destroy the low end. Now one JR developer can massively eclipse them.

Is there never going to be a version with less restrictions and filters? That would really be worth paying for.

Won't happen, putting aside possible disturbing/racists/etc content. The last thing OpenAI wants is that MSM wrote in mid 2025 that Russian/Iran/Chinese agents used ChatGPT to spread meticulous disinfo during 2024 election that either helped Trump win or agitate more Trumpists that 2024 is yet another stolen election bigly.

He's a programmer. They re cheaper than scrooge. They'll write a tool themselves in 6 months rather than spend 10 dollars. Idk why but programmers are the cheapest people on earth in regards to programming tools. I bought Intellij idea for $400 like 12 years ago and got made fun of at work even though it made me substantially faster than eclipse.

I’m paying about €200/year for Jetbrains Toolbox. This gives me a set of IDEs, one of which I’m using daily. And that’s less money than ChatGPT is asking.

Yeah but JetBrains isn't writing your code for you. This is a whole other level of technology that you cannot compare to something that exists already.

Maybe not from OpenAI (though maybe when they have official API access, it will have options), but lots of people are active in this field, including open source offerings, so definitely, yes, even if maybe not as a packaged SaaS.
