Google isn't for real yet?
- LeoPanthera 4y agoThere's a huge difference between utility software, especially utilities that are inherently network-based like "a search engine", and application software used for content creation.
- BMorearty 4y agoOh like Google Docs.
- ColonelPhantom 4y agoIf Google Docs suddenly disappeared, everyone would just continue as usual, except that they now use MS Word or LibreOffice instead. If GPT-3 disappeared, what's the alternative?
- BMorearty 4y agoSeems like you're changing the subject.
- LeoPanthera 4y agoNo he's not. That's exactly the point my original comment made. You have missed the point.
- coding123 4y agoI feel like everyone is just playing devil's advocate. Almost every developer I know wants a native API or have the option of taking something out of the cloud. It's why paas died and docker as a service took over.
- kanyethegreat 4y agoThere are open models, eg. Bloom. Same with Stable Diffusion (open) and Dall-E. Creating these isn’t impossibly hard. Some ML ops company showed how you could train a GPT-like model for like $250k or something.
