I'm surprised nobody has mentioned, but this is like shades of the universal translator from star trek. We have tricorders now (mobile phones), universal translators in the looming... when is transporter technology going to get here?

Disney's HoloTile floor feels like the first step to anything resembling a real-life Holodeck...

I think it’s safe to say Siri and Alexa are officially dead. They look like dusty storefront mannequins next to Battlestar replicants at this point.

Siri runs locally on the device. It works with internet completely disabled (airplane mode). You can't run any LLM on a phone.

OAI just made an embarrassment of Google's fake demo earlier this year. Given how this was recorded, I am pretty certain it's authentic.

This demo feels a lot like GPT-V. Like they've gotten a lot of the latencies down, but it's doing the same thing GPT was doing previously with transcription after silence detection and TTS of the output.

Let's start a betting pool on how long it takes BetterHelp to lay off their therapists for this thing.

OpenAI keeps a copy of all conversations? Or mines them for commercially-useful information? Has OpenAI found a business model yet. Considering the high cost of the computation, is it reasonable to expect that OpenAI licensing may not be profitable. Will that result in "free" access for the purpose of surveillance and data collection. Amazon had a microphone in peoples' living rooms, a so-called "smart speaker" that…

As far as I'm aware, anything you input is used as training data unless you have an Enterprise account.

I am observing an extremely high rate of text hallucinations with gpt-4o (gpt-4o-2024-05-13) as tested via the API. I advise extreme caution with it. In contrast, I see no such concern with gpt-4-turbo-preview (gpt-4-0125-preview).

I asked it to describe the books of an obscure author. GPT-4o hallucinated books. GPT-4 knew it needed to do an internet search.

I would have liked to see a version number in the prompt, or maybe even have some toggle in my settings, so that I can be certain that I am using ChatGPT 3.5 and then, if I need an image or screen shot analized, I can switch to the limited 4o model. Having my limited availability of 4-o be what gets used, and then not being available becuase of some arbitrary quote that I had no idea was being used-up, is unconscionable policy. Also having no links to email them that fact is bad, too.

What struck me was the interruptions to the AI speaking which seemed commonplace by the team members in the demo. We will quickly get used to doing this to AIs and we will probably be talking to AIs a lot throughout the day as time progresses I would imagine. We will be trained by AIs to be rude and impatient I think.

I was raised in an interrupt heavy household. The future is looking good for me.
