At least they said sorry, that makes it alright.

It's not about getting paid to test AI technology. It's about OpenAI not being as transparent with their motives as their company name suggests and luring in free beta testers to improve their next premium ChatGPT version for Microsoft and any other corporate clients, with lucrative deals worth billions.

My impression about OpenAI was that it was some sort of academic AI think tank. Not a corporate R&D center in disguise.

I have a question.
I just bought a router for my home and it doesnt work.

I am plugging the modem directly to the router through the WAN port and it doesnt get any connection whatsoever.

It would require significant renovation. Office buildings don't generally have private bathrooms and kitchens, and large ones don't have many windows per person.

>they're shocked by its popularity

where they really? its pretty obvious how popular a good text engine would be for doing all sorts of stuff, and for making mountains of smut

They brought the ID3 and ID4 (maybe not in the states?). A better car on same platform is the Skoda Enyaq

chat bots are pretty heavy so I'd imagine it'll be quite a while till an offline version becomes available

It's literally an opinion piece by the editors of Bloomberg....

You want to get paid while you steal information from the rest of us? Where is the logic there exactly?

Next time admit you work in the industry up front. Don't act as if you're a neutral party pointing out something reasonable. You're literally making money off of this bullshit.

I bought 2 Mach Es at MSRP. Before placing order online just call dealer and ask them about price. Recently, Ford has implemented a new way to show dealer markup upfront while placing order. You can pick and choose dealer who is accepting order at MSRP.

Unless Google or another company has a competing product, OpenAI is probably the next trillion dollar company.

this article paid by bytedance. they dont even have enough balls to put their names into the by line for the article.

I would rather see Facebook banned, but Tiktok is a good start.

Don't get me wrong, I understand a lot of people rely on Facebook, and it'll be harder to disband it. I'd be happy with Facebook just split up, and not stay under Meta. Facebook/Meta has too many fingers in different pies, like many other companies.

I use Twilio for SIP trunking. You can’t spoof numbers with them. You’re required to use a caller ID that matches a number on your account.

If a person cannot walk into a legitimate computer repair shop, who can repair Android phones, can't get their iPhone repaired within a reasonable time, then the methods Apple is using for their version of "right to repair" is not a globally approved standard.

If I had someone bring in a phone to be repaired, I'd like to have at least the commonly requested parts in stock. In Apple's case, I don't care if I have to keep an inventory list and report back weekly, and inform them I used X part with X SN on iPhone Y with Y SN. But if we can't even order in parts for walk ins, and have to wait a week for the part, what's the point? Let alone the extreme costs to buy or rent the tools to do the repairs.

People are just tired of the cycle of lossleaders burning VC cash and loans and then everything going sideways when the free money faucet turns off and these companies frantically grasp for anything to make themselves sustainable.

If my square footage to rent ratio was as high as San Francisco's I'd want to stay home too!

Yes, but if you took a 4 year old child who had never seen a painting before, showed them 10 paintings, and then asked them to make their own painting. Either, they’ll just scribble on the canvas randomly because they’re not competent enough to do anything, or they’ll end up making something very similar and nearly identical to those examples you’ve shown them.

You use the example of the programmer taking code off the internet… I’m not sure if you’re a programmer yourself, but you know that’s a meme right? The joke is that a big part of programming is finding the right stack overflow/blog/tutorial that has the code similar enough to what you need, and you change bits of it and incorporate it into your work.

So you want to be paid to get access to software that makes your life better while someone else is running it on their own hardware? What’s the logic there exactly? Are you going to be mad at reddit next for running analytics on the comments you voluntarily gave them?

A good first step towards transparency is that, if you're going to quote ChatGPT, you should say that you are quoting ChatGPT's output, provide the context of what prompt or question it was responding to, and say when you asked. Just like quoting a person, the quote can be an accurate quote, even if the person being quoted was wrong about something.

> beta testing their product for free and providing them with data that will make them billions.

Ahh the Call of Duty Warzone approach

That’s not actually how this works. It’s not like Twilio’s network is being used without them knowing. By allowing Developers to build instantly without checking their backgrounds or company information, They are actively opening their APIs to thousands of unknown companies without enough due diligence. Hence they can fire up 1000’s of numbers and spam the heck out of everyone. Others in the space have a far more rigorous approach to ensuring this doesn’t happen. I worked in Cloud Telephony for 10 years and was responsible for $150M of Twilios connectivity. They are absolutely a problem.

Until somebody releases the public version for free somewhere else.

A great argument about why not just unions, but strong unions are necessary. If that's not on the cards then government needs to step in and break up these behemoths. Actually, both needs to happen.

I don't get why you're being downvoted, you're spot on. Microsoft will make using local files and locally installed software progressively more frustrating in favor of cloud services. That's the plan, and TPM will become a DRM system that will be used to enforce that.
