This makes Turbo GPT 3.5 level AI free, private and finetuneable. OpenAI exclusivity shrinks now to GPT-4. That's why I don't think they will be able to keep a large market share in LLMs, any level of AI is going to get open and free soon. SOTA models are also easy to distill by API, very hard to defend against using chat logs as training data for other models. Once we all got one running, maybe in the OS, maybe in t…

The problem is that for-profit businesses like OpenAI have more money and compute than even millions of volunteers. I definitely believe we'll get an open GPT-4 eventually, but by then OpenAI will have GPT-5, and so on. It's a shame really: the ultimate cause is the massive amount of wealth inequality we have today. If private entities and governments didn't have so much resources compared to individuals, I'm certain…

Do we really want a fully open source GPT-4 at this stage?

Considering there are calls already to slow down development to allow society time to adjust, open source GPT-4 would be giving it an instant turbo-charge as very quickly we will have GPT-4 level models with no alignment/safety.

I tried it. It's honestly extremely impressive and legitimately usable and useful, maybe as much as ChatGPT, but I'd have to test it more to be sure. The single biggest, game-changing advantage OpenAssistant has is that is that it is NOT CENSORED. This is legitimately AMAZING. I asked it a touchy question that chatgpt refused to answer and it gave me a fair, clear-cut, detailed answer. Also check this: Me: Yes. Are y…

Is it?

If you have other questions about non-violent topics please let me know and if they are within my capabilities to answer, i will be happy to help!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I can't wait for an ad companies to force you to watch a 10 second video ad before it gives you a result for your query. It's only a matter of time before these AI companies start pairing up with ad companies(if they already haven't). Google could easily put ad videos every 10 queries or something. You already see these limited free tokens/credits/querie on AI art sites. How long until they put some ads in-between qu…

At least showing an ad here and there is fair as you're using something for free and it's not trying to manipulate you, only show you an ad. It would be much worse if they actually biased the answers to talk about stuff they are paid to endorse...

Advertising is inherently manipulative. That's the entire point. Here, it's biasing toward Expedia, who profits if you use them regardless of which country you travel to.

If you think this is even close to gpt3.5turbo quality, try passing code output from OpenAssistant straight to 3.5turbo and see what happens.
