"We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings." -- Ursula K Le Guin
Competition, ambition?
(I love Le Guin's work, FWIW)
(Zapier cofounder) Super excited for this. Tool use for LLMs goes way beyond just search. Zapier is a launch partner here -- you can access any of the 5k+ apps / 20k+ actions on Zapier directly from within ChatGPT. We are eager to see how folks leverage this composability. Some new example capabilities are retrieving data from any app, draft and send messages/emails, and complex multi step reasoning like look up data…
I saw a startup recently that's working to automate interactions with applications that are either not web apps (in which case you'd run a local instance of it) or a web app that doesn't provide an API to do certain (or any) actions. Is this something Zapier is looking at, too? It would really expand what's possible with the OpenAI integration and save people a tremendous amount of time to not be forced to jump throu…

We have a ton of protection laws around all sorts of dangerous technology, this is a super naive take. You can't buy tons of weapon technology, nuclear materials, aerosolized compounds, pesticides. These are all highly regulated and illegal pieces of technology for the better . In general the liberal position of progress = good is wrong in many cases, and I'll be thankful to see AI get neutered. If anything treat it…

I have never used Alexa, hey google or whatever flavour you choose for more then "set a timer for x minutes" and other very basic tasks. It's amazing how terrible the voice assistant products are compared to chatgpt.
However, is ChatGPT a solution to virtual assistant? I'm not sure, because virtual assistants work with huge databases of entities, e.g., songs or movies, and it's not really clear that ChatGPT can handle this. A couple of days ago I asked it whether it knows Dream of You by Camila Cabello, a song with hundreds of millions of plays, and it didn't... Furthermore, that database is constantly updated... It sounds like L…
I had GPT-4 analyze the ethics of some obscure japanese visual novel from the perspective of multiple characters in that story. It did so flawlessly.
ChatGPT would have started making up stuff in the second paragraph because it couldn't remember what actually happened.

I definitely agree, although I wonder how to do a switch to stay relevant. Any ideas on that front?
Infrastructure engineering as a foundation, since all this stuff ultimately needs some hardware, that has to be provisioned. Not to speak of plumbing/wiring stuff together and things like security/compliance… DevOps/Automation to get people (no matter if current devs or soon prompters) actually deliver things and/or speed up delivery/feedback loops. I picked up both after having mastered frontend/backend stuff and ge…
Is OpenAI just extremely prepared for their releases, or are they using their own tech to be extremely efficient? I'm imagining what their own programmers do each day, given direct access to the current most powerful models.
What is the advantage of using the ChatGPT Wolfram plugin over Wolfram directly? To me it feels like novelty rather than actually adding anything valuable. If anything, it's worse, because the data isn't quite guarenteed to always be correct. Whereas if I use Wolfram directly, I can always get a correct result. This is missing the most important part of AGI, where understanding of the concepts the plugins provide is…
> ChatGPT is simply an API client that accepts English sentences as input. Isn't that relevant? In my opinion, this has significant value. Currently, programming languages serve as the primary means of communication with computers, and now we are transitioning to using English. In a way, we are granting development capabilities to billions of people. This is both amazing and exciting, I believe.
