"Unavailable" Well of course there is, it's one the most exciting new technologies we've had in a long time. For so many years all the best models could do was identify handwritten digits, then semi-recently identify subjects in photos and now more recently (all of a sudden, really) generate beautiful and detailed images from plain English as well as converse in English and perform a variety of tasks to varying success. It's exciting as hecky and while I'm sure that some people are having the same reaction to it that an Intel or AMD fan has when the opposition releases a new CPU everyone wants to talk about; everyone else is appropriately excited. If this AI boom ever dies down, don't worry, everyone will go back to posting/complaining about the posts of new JS frameworks. ;)

I left the machine hosting this small enough to see what posting to HN would do to it - rescaling it now :)

  Ha ha ha, free load test. Don't forget to $$$cale it down, later :)

    We're happy hosting it on Hetzner, so even if we forget it won't be that bad - it's a single CX51 server right now

Agreed! This might be the fastest moving tech area right now, so it makes sense that it's generating a lot of news and interest.

I totally get where you're coming from, and I'm also excited about the leaps and bounds we're seeing in AI technology, especially with models like ChatGPT. The potential impact across various fields is truly fascinating. That being said, I think it's important for us to keep a balanced view on these advancements. As awesome as AI is, we should also remember its limitations and the potential risks that come with widespread use. For example, AI models can sometimes produce biased or even harmful outputs, which can lead to real-world problems if we don't address them properly. Another point to consider is that having so much AI-related content on platforms like Hacker News might create a bit of an "echo chamber" effect. It's easy to get swept up in the AI excitement and lose sight of other equally innovative tech developments. While AI is definitely a hot topic, I think it's also valuable for us to discuss and explore a variety of other tech breakthroughs. So yeah, AI and ChatGPT are definitely game-changers, and it's no wonder they're getting so much attention. But at the same time, let's not forget to keep an eye on other cool tech breakthroughs happening around us. After all, innovation isn't just about AI, and having diverse conversations helps us all stay informed and excited about the broader tech landscape.
