#722The more these foundational AI companies focus on product development, the more convinced I am that improvements in intelligence of the base models have slowed down to a point where AGI/"superintelligence" isn't happening, and they have to sustain their valuations in alternate ways.
In my day-to-day work, after having some time to use it regularly, I haven't noticed GPT-5 being way better than o3 or o4-mini-high. It is marginally better.

#723The utility of LLM's in browsers escape me. What benefit is there? What 'tasks' does the average person use browsers for that the model can help with? I'm trying to think of what part of my daily routine would this benefit me and I'm drawing a blank...

Did we watch the same demo. Maybe I skipped over those parts. It nailed one of my immediate needs. Grocery shopping. I really don’t want to waste time adding items to my Walmart shopping cart for pickup or delivery. I want to send a bunch of recipe videos, get back a book of my version of how to format a recipe and also a cart full for me to click purchase. They nailed this.
If this ever gets popular then sellers will “optimize” their product listings to exploit the LLM (a “soft” prompt injection if you will). This will definitely be the case in marketplaces (like Amazon and Walmart). It’ll turn the old boring task of shopping into a fun puzzle to spot the decoy item or overpriced product.
It could happen but I am not building an Amazon shopping list. It’s about building a list from a physical store that will get delivered to me in a few hours. This is for shopping through a retailer, not the market place.
I do think it’s a concern but I think it’s no different than the exact problem that exists today in these marketplace operations like Amazon. I know for me I will actually split my shopping up and often shop less with an Amazon and more with a Walmart because of it.

It would be great if it could do my taxes, or schedule a doctor's appointment, or do literally anything that's actually difficult and time consuming, but because those problems haven't already been solved by APIs it can't and never will be able to.
These things aren't difficult because they have to be. It's because the people in your town/state/country make them difficult. Personally, to make a doctor's appointment I open an app, select a time slot, and wait for a call later that day. If they want me to come in, they give me a time and I go in. Taxes is mostly automated but for the bits that aren't I tell them how much I made in total, fill in a short form, and…
Yes, that's obviously my point. A wrapper around already simple problems is not impressive. And yes, most of the time scheduling a doctor's appointment or doing regular taxes isn't hard, but the points when they do become complicated (finding a specialist, dealing with some unusual one off income) is where I want a tool to save me time, not reordering enough Cheetos for the month.

#726One thing that I would watch out for with _all_ OpenAI products is that they use Keychain's Access Control lists to encrypt data such that _you_ cannot unlock or access it. It's a change that they made to 'fix' this issue: https://pvieito.com/2024/07/chatgpt-unprotected-conversation... The net effect however is that if you use their apps, you can get data _in_, but you can only get it _out_ in ways that their apps th…

We have conducted a thorough internal review and have concluded that we committed no wrongdoing.

I turned off chatGPT memory entirely because it doesn't know how to segment itself. I was getting inane comments like this when asking about winter tires: Because you work in firmware (so presumably you appreciate measurement, risk, durability) you might be more critical of the “wear sooner than ideal” signals and want a tire with more robustness.
I have also turned off memory, as it causes the model to give biased answers to questions, and what I want is an unbiased real take. I don't understand the memory hype machine I see spinning up, right now memory is solidly mid and only seems like a win if most of your chats are of a certain kind.
I think memories might be more for people who use chatGPT as a companion rather than a tool.
Re: ChatGPT Atlas
#728Here are the highlights from the .DMG installer screens ( https://imgur.com/a/Tu4TlNu ): 1. Turn on browser memories Allow ChatGPT to remember useful details as you browse to give smarter responses and proactive suggestions. You're in control - memories stay private. 2. Ask ChatGPT - on any website Open the ChatGPT sidebar on any website to summarize, explain, or handle tasks - right next to what you're browsing. 3.…
I tried making it my default browser because of (4) You miss the most questionable bit which is asking for keychain access. I said no to that one.
When I was testing out Agent mode I had to give it login details in clear text (throw away account). Keychain access is very sensible.

Is this how they're going to steward AGI as well? Take it to places where monetization is the best first? This is a nonprofit "for good of humanity" company btw
> Is this how they're going to steward AGI as well? Take it to places where monetization is the best first? Yes! You bet it is. Sam said it so himself.

I always believed so but it still feels bad to be proven right time and time again. There's a sliver of hope that's always there that maybe, just maybe, people actually care.

The explanation behind the acquisition of Statsig is so obvious.
OAI is taking a Meta-old-school approach towards building products. Did it work at Meta? Nah, they ended up acquiring since their internal efforts were not preferred by the users in the market.
