> gamble with the future of humanity what in the world are you people talking about, it's a fucking autocomplete program
>it's a fucking autocomplete program So like a human? I'd say they were pretty influential on the future of humanity.
I beg of you to take some humanities courses.
If you live in SF and have gone out to casual bars or restaurants, you meet/hear people talking about ChatGPT. In particular, I've been hearing a lot of people talking about their startups being "a UI using ChatGPT under the hood to help you with X". But I'm starting to get the feeling that OpenAI will eat their lunches. It's tried and true and it worked for Amazon. If OpenAI becomes the AI platform of choice, I wond…
Fascinating to hear your perspective on this. I think a lot of people will fall out of the sky. Beeing overtaken before even realizing why. In germany most of my friends and collegues working SE tech or digital design, often "haven't even tried this Chat something thing" or stopped at "AI images? These wierd small pictures that look like a cpu is high on drugs?" And dont get me startet on non-tech friends and family.…
RE being overtaken -- when ChatGPT-3 came out, I saw some startup doing "Automatic UI code writing with ChatGPT and design images", but after seeing OpenAI's multimodal GPT-4... it seems like that startup is no longer needed. I think this will be the case for hundreds of startups that are aiming to add 10% on top of CurrentGPT. Put differently, GPT-4 basically 10x'd GPT-3. So all of those startups doing GPT-3 + 10% are being left behind in the dust of GPT-4.
Holy shit. Ignore the silly third party plugins, the first party plugins for web browsing and code interpretation are massive game changers. Up to date information and performing original research on it is huge. As someone else said, Google is dead unless they massively shift in the next 6 months. No longer do I need to sift through pages of "12 best recipes for Thanksgiving" blog spam - OpenAI will do this for me an…
Why, exactly, will publisher let openai crawl their sites, extract all value, paraphrase their content, with no benefit to the publisher? Publishers let googlebot crawl their sites because they get a benefit. It's easy enough to block bots if they instead deliver crawl costs and steal the content.
And why do you expect no gaming of the ChatGPT algo as people do with the google algo. The whole "write a story on a recipe site thing" is both to game the algo and for copyright reasons.

Pshhh... I think it's awesome. The faster we build the future, the better. What annoys me is this is just further evidence that their "AI Safety" is nothing but lip-service, when they're clearly moving fast and breaking things. Just the other day they had a bug where you could see the chat history of other users! (Which, btw, they're now claiming in a modal on login was due to a "bug in an open source library" - anyo…
The open-source library is FastAPI. I might be wrong, but it's probably related to this tweet: https://twitter.com/tiangolo/status/1638683478245117953

This kind of fantasy about AIs exponentially growing and multiplying seems to be based on pretending nobody's gonna have to pay the exponential power bills for them to do all this.
We've got many existence proofs of 20 watts being enough for a 130 IQ intelligence that passes a Turing test, that's already enough to mess up elections if the intelligence was artificial rather than betwixt our ears.
Like humans, I predict AIs will have to get jobs rather than have time to take over the world.

Lets start doing human clones and hardcore gene editing then, by the same line of thinking. /s I'm actually on the side of continuing to develop AI and shush the naysayers, but "we should do it cause otherwise someone else will" is reasoning that gets people to do very nasty things.
The reason we don't do human genetic engineering is the moral hazard of creating people who will suffer their entire lives intentionally (also the round trip time on an experiment is about 100 years). You can iterate on an AI much faster.
I'd be much more excited about ChatGPT if I didn't feel it was going to be taking our jobs in a couple years.

Alternatively, they are a company 100% focused on AI research and deployment, not website designers/developers/"webmasters".
That's not 100% true. They're focused on now selling a product and developing an ecosystem. They have basically a non-existent settings interface. You can't even change the email tied to the account or drop having to be logged into Google if you signed up with your Google account. I wish I had known how restrictive they are when I casually signed up last year.
i think people aren't appreciating it's ability to run -and execute- Python. IT RUNS FFMPEG https://twitter.com/gdb/status/1638971232443076609?s=20 IT RUNS FREAKING FFMPEG. inside CHATGPT. what. is. happening. ChatGPT is an AI compute platform now.
Next: 1. Prompt it to extract the audio track, then give it to a speech-to-text API, translate it to another language, then make it add it back to the video file as a subtitle track. 2. Retrain the model to where it does this implcitly when you say "hey can you add Portuguese subtitles to this for me"?
