I'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…

You use it consistently during the workday and it's still not worth $20/mo?

The absurdity of OPs comment cannot be understated.

Indeed. People in developing countries might learn what the public school system should have taught them, with a free private tutor that is ChatGPT or similar.

ChatGPT can't even reliably tell how many times a letter is in a word. I doubt it will be a reliable tutor

The ability to tell letter occurrence in a word is not a good measure for the quality of a large language model.

Can't wait for the official API. In the meantime, we discovered a "stealth model" which is being used by some YC companies that ChatGPT uses under the hood. I just updated the chatgpt NPM package to use this stealth model w/ the official OpenAI completions API: https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/chatgpt-api

Is it possible to fine-tune it?

Yep. But it gave straight up code rather than trying to persuade a natural language LLM to write code. The regex I was expecting would be "\\b(dog.*)|(.*cat)\\b" The key point is to ask the code model. Part of what ChatGPT does is it appears to categorize the question and then may dispatch it to the code model. If you know you have a code question, asking the code model first would likely be more productive and less…

That's not a good regex. The cat part is harder than the dog part. you regex will match the whole line up to cat.

I don't claim it was good - just what I was expecting from the prompt.

You could take your $20 and buy garlic and a cross with it instead, and then you might be able to keep those fuckin' vampires at Microsoft out of your office.

When you signed up for Github, did you imagine Microsoft would be selling all your code 5 or 10 years later?

Do ya like ads in your file manager?

How's renting a word processor on a monthly basis working out?

Am I an old enough man to shake my fist at The Cloud yet?

No good will come of paying Microsoft for anything, the Government didn't put them on parole for 20 years for nothin'.

I think you're failing to make a distinction between equipment that is critical to your job and equipment that simply helps you by making it more enjoyable and comfortable. Yes, the company should buy the equipment that is critical. Could I actually do my job on a 19" monitor? Yes, absolutely. Could I do it at a desk with no personal effects or decorations? Yes, absolutely. Both the monitor upgrade and pictures of my…

My Red wasn't critical and they had a crappy camera on-hand so it's not like I couldn't have done the job, just so we are clear. I don't need my lights, or my primes, or any of my stuff. They had the very bare minimum. But it was garbage so I negotiated accordingly. And we all won in the end!

Negotiating an increased salary for the use of your capitalized equipment is a terrible use of resources. The fact that they agreed to that tells me that they detected it was a touchy subject for you and went the appeasement rout. If they cared about the equipment they would have preferred to purchase/finance it or lease it.

ChatGPT is general AI. It perform actions in a class requiring abstract thought which previously only humans were capable of. Sure the applications we see it is capable of are limited now, but that’s a consequence only of it’s operating environment. Using traditional AI techniques like tree search and recursive use of subproblems, which ChatGPT itself could design, it is not obvious to me that any problem is outside…

> ChatGPT is general AI. It perform actions in a class requiring abstract thought which previously only humans were capable of. Fundamentally disagree with you there. This is a natural language model, it is certainly not an AGI. That's why it gets things wrong so often. When humans converse with each other, there is a pattern to it, and this AI is simply very good at mimicking that pattern. To our ape brains who have…

Yes it is obviously not an AGI in the sense of an intelligent, persistent agent, but it is also obviously a huge step towards one. It's like a single pass of thought on a topic, combined with self iteration and recursion in answer generation it would not be surprising to me if answers become an order of magnitude better. And we haven't even hit hardware limits.

I believe an order of magnitude stronger ChatGPT is an unacceptable risk to us all, it will let those who own and control it wield power which our government shows no sign of being able to regulate. We don't allow private research and ownership of nukes...

I think your interpretation of "free as in beer" is the opposite of the mainstream (where my understanding is it means "free of charge")

It is - but the mainstream “free as in beer” makes no sense. Who gives away free beer? Beer is free as in libre, not free as in gratis! But you’re correct - the mainstream meaning of that term is the opposite - which I find bizarre.

I think it makes sense in the "beer is tangible" and "speech is not" sense (to my brain anyway). If I saw a "free beer" sign in a window I'd probably be inclined to think (albeit suspiciously) that there might be a frosty mug inside at no cost to me. Whereas if I saw a "free speech" sign, I'd assume they support my right to say whatever I want (or I suppose maybe that there's a lecture going on inside with no admittance fee).

We all got different brains though, shoutout learning from others perspectives, ty for sharing yours.

$20 seems reasonable. I wonder how are they going to deal with "unreasonable intensive usage" aka people/companies offering "AI" in their products when in reality they just act as a proxy between people paying them ( sometimes a lot of money ) and OpenAI.

$20 is the very first price tier introduced at the very outset of what could be one of the most powerful companies of our generation. Google.com adding a single yellow box with an advertisement seemed reasonable, too. Anyone else having serious concerns about the direction this is going? At my wife's company they have already largely replaced an hourly data classification job with ChatGPT. This announcement is the fi…

I agree with you.

It’s going to get wild.

It will improve very rapidly, from openAI and other. The competition will be incredible this year.

I think we are headed for a complete replacement of human work very soon.

Those who can use AI will become manager of an army of programers, writers, etc.

We will be able to do much more, quicker too.

Then we will have more robots to do physical things: self-driving, farming, cooking, cleaning, etc.

Limiting factor will be silicon chip production and robotic production.
