I think that's mostly because of the access to information it has. Much of the highly useful information is not on the public internet or shows up on search engines, only domain experts know about them. Also, the websites may be paywal

The difference is that it takes few minutes to an hour at most so it can be run multiple times a day, using the results of previous runs to further refine the search and reasoning process to get better outcomes. Pretty much how any human re

No one should copy paste any solutions from anywhere. FWIW, 99% of the content in SO is hardly "original", mostly copy-pasted themselves from previous solutions or original user guide/manuals.

Hardly matters for Stackoverflow like questions if the provided solutions work/solve the problem you're having. Which for me happens majority of the time (with GPT-4 not the free version).

ChatGPT provides far more value than StackOverflow currently. It's not just trained on SO answers but all of the manuals/help pages, Github issues and forum posts. In addition you can continue a conversation. No rigid format or ga

The 1% who actually work on AI don't use terms as generic as "AI". Way to reveal yourself as college undergrad who read a couple of popular science books, downloaded MNIST data and thinks they are "experts".

Lmao what are you talking/coping about? What happened to carriage drivers is pretty well-documented. Maybe ask one of these AI chatbots, they will summarize it for you.

Yes, the horse carriage drivers had similar lines of thoughts when they saw first gen automobiles.

That's a false metric. With exponential progress, we have to adjust equally rapidly. It's quite obvious that photos and videos would last far shorter than written medium as proof of something.

You're completely missing the point. Who cares what VFX artists and studios want if anyone with a small team can create high quality entertaining videos that millions of people would pay to watch? And if you think that's a bar too

This could just be a damage control attempt. Irrespective of whether the original report is true, the extra attention at the current stage is not very desirable.

If you read my comment again, I'm talking about their competence, not their rights. Those are two entirely different things.

No that hasn't at all been the case. The board acted like the most incompetent group of individuals who've even handed any responsibility. If they went through due process, notified their employees and investors, and put out a sta

If he has great sway with Microsoft and OpenAI employees how has he failed as a leader? Hackernews commenters are becoming more and more reddit everyday.

No that's horseshit since it does not constitute a valid legal reason for his removal nor it's inline with their blog post. They would get sued out of their a* if they acted based on this.

Lmao there are always these sort edgy keyboard warriors. If all of that was possible somebody else would have built it and we would not have the AI race today nor would NVIDIA shares skyrocket.

That's the only sane option. The other options suggested in previous comments are not really options but rather trying to use a band-aid to hold together a dam that has already been breached.

You're in denial and delusional. Most people in this thread are.

What's the actual stretch is your denial of reality.

Ironically, this sort of insane takes everywhere on the thread is causing more harm towards the image of open-source developers than OpenAI or anyone could ever do with their press release. It's important to mention whatever open-sourc
