I saw this coming a long time ago and I'm still very pissed off. For three reasons:
1. We are all forced to use the damn "chat" API instead of regular completions. Can't wait to have to deal with chatgpt's conversations in order to get a few lines of code out
2. We loose the super valuable 'insert' and 'edit' modes, which were great for code
3. 3-day notice period? that's going to be a hell for people who are actually providing products based on codex or doing research
- mcaledonensis 4y agoCompletion API for GPT-4 will be there soon. With extra stop tokens, but better than nothing. A compromise. And it's not like what OpenAI did was an impossible magic trick. They've had a right team composition. And three insights. All present in the literature. Repeat that, you'll have GPT-4. But GPT-5. Well, that one is different game. As to being open, they are still relatively open. Consider Apple, for example. No one complains about Apple being a bit skittish. Well, OpenAI got a bit skittish too. It's a period. They'll stabilize. And their setup of the company, with the non-profit board in control, profit caps is a really interesting try at the corporate design.

- jiggywiggy 4y agoIts not interesting. It's a hack to have a don't be evil vibe and keeping the name "open" while they go against their own foundational principles.
- KyeRussell 4y agoYou aren’t providing any sort of valuable insight here. This is more indicative of your priors than anything else. Everyone has heard this argument. The people that believe it, believe it. The people that don’t, don’t.
- jiggywiggy 4y agoThe initial goal was to make ai available to everyone. In the process of getting enough funds to build their vision they gave it to Microsoft.
- whym 4y agoFrom WordNet: > 1. skittish, flighty, spooky, nervous -- (unpredictably excitable (especially of horses)) (I didn't know the word skittish, and I figured this might help others, too.)
- selfhoster11 4y agoLots of people complain about Apple being skittish (including HN comment section), but they also expect them to pull a stunt every once in a while. OpenAI was an unknown quantity until now.
- nunodonato 4y agodude why are you copy and pasting my comments from other threads?
- VerminOctopus1 4y agoDid they actually plagiarize a comment you’ve made previously?
- inquist 4y agoI searched and didn’t find any identical prior comment

- dizhn 4y agoIs it a bot? were you able to figure anything out?
- nunodonato 4y agono idea, but its funny how it/he/she fetched the comment a similar reddit discussion and pasted it here...
- MichaelZuo 4y agoSo this 'ar9av' is a bot reposting comments or a troll? Wonder if dang could take a look at this.

- aleksanderhan 4y agoNobody are forced to anything. You don't have to use openai services if you don't want to...
- selfhoster11 4y ago> Nobody are forced to anything. You don't have to use a smartphone if you don't want to... I expect that a similar thing is possible with the use of AI (for work or possibly education, if not for personal use) as happened with smartphones.
