This is a big deal for openai. Been working with homegrown toolkits and langchain, the open source version of this, for a number of months and the ability to call out to vectorstores, serpapis, etc, and chaining together generations and data-retrieval really unlocks the power of the LLMs. That being said, I'd never build anything dependent on these plugins. OpenAI and their models rule the day today, but who knows wh…

Honestly I suspect for anyone technical `langchain` will always be the way to go. You just have so much more control and the amount of "tools" available will always be greater. The only think that scares me a little bit is that we are letting these LLMs write and execute code on our machines. For now the worst that could happen is some bug doing something unexpected, but with GPT-9 or -10 maybe it will start hiding b…

Wait until someone utters in court "It wasn't me that downloaded the CSEI, it was ChatGPT."

Yup, basically. Edit: see here: https://github.com/openai/chatgpt-retrieval-plugin/blob/main... I did this a while back with ARKit: https://github.com/trzy/ChatARKit/blob/17fca768ce8abd39fb27d...

Thanks, very interesting! Weird that it never occurred to me before reading OpenAI's announcement (and missing all the cool projects like yours beforehand).

On the bright side, now you’re basically caught up. This stuff is shockingly easy :)

When in human history have we ever intentionally not furthered technological progress? It's simply an unrealistic proposition, especially when the costs of doing it are so low that anyone with sufficient GPU power and knowledge of the latest research can get pretty close to the cutting edge. So the best we can hope for is that someone ethical is the first to advance that technological progress. I hope you wouldn't ad…

We almost did with genetically engineering humans. Almost.

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…

> 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. Only because we know the risks and issues with them. OP is talking about furthering technology, which is quite literally "discovering new things"; regulations on furthering technology (outside of literal nuclear weapons) would have to be along…

Human review boards and restrictions on various dangerous biological research exist explicitly to limit damage from furthering lines of research which might be dangerous.

As a previous startup founder, now marketer, i’m also going in all in on reinventing myself. Can we start a group to support each other through this new phase?

Made a subreddit here that I'll post in if you want to join: https://old.reddit.com/r/aishift/

great stuff! I’m joining, let’s do it

Completely agreed. Google is insanely rigid from what I've heard recently.

Google is busy riding the Kodak roller coaster off a cliff. Maybe they'll save themselves, but they're not doing a good job so far.

Hah you made my day, this is such an apt analogy.

What I want to know is, what gives OpenAI and other relatively small technological elites permission to gamble with the future of humanity? Shouldn't we all have a say in this?

>What gives a bunch of people way smarter than me permission to gamble with the future of humanity? To ask the question is to answer it.

That's not the question I asked. FWIW I'm actually part of one of these groups!

Every time someone drives they gamble with humanity in a much more deadly activity. No one cares.

Car crashes don't affect the trajectory of human civilization all that much.

>It seems like factuality issues with ChatGPT might be fixed. Is that really possible to fix that just from a plug-in? All it has to do is admit when it doesn't have the answer, and yet it won't even do that. This leads me to think that ChatGPT doesn't even know when it's lying, so i can't imagine how a plug-in will fix that.

The fact that the model does not have to rely on its internal knowledge anymore but can communicate literally with any external system makes me feel it may significantly reduce the hallucination.

That's only going to solve the problem of incorrect facts. I have seen it make logical mistakes as well and having access to external services will not solve that problem.

As an example, I once asked it to show me the diff between two revisions of the code it was writing an it made something that looks like it might be a valid patch but did not represent the difference between the two versions.

Of course this specific problem could be fixed with a simple plug-in that runs the unix diff program but that wouldn't fix the root-cause, and i would argue that providing a special-case for every type of request is antithetical to what AI is supposed to be since this effectively is how alpha and Google already work.
