The lengths people need to go to because OpEnAI isnt allowing people to use the GPT4 API. Its been 1+ month and still no API access for me? Can't really blame it on demand anymore. Will be overjoyed when we get a non facebook licensed LLM that is 95% of the quality to run locally.

Yeah and who’s doing the training for that? Your Grandma’s iPad? This stuff is hard, and it’s incredibly easy to sit here on Hacker News talking about how things will be when we finally get to the fireworks factory. But for the time being, the reality is that there’s serious money and smarts behind the development and ongoing operation of this stuff. I, a nobody, got access to GPT-4 pretty soon after it was released. Maybe your stated use case wasn’t compelling enough to get access to the beta? I, after getting access to GPT-4 mind you, signed up for ChatGPT Plus or Pro or whatever it’s called. GPT-4 calls are still very heavily capped. What’s the motive behind the conspiracy theory to which you’re alluding?

  > I, a nobody, got access to GPT-4 pretty soon after it was released. Maybe your stated use case wasn’t compelling enough to get access to the beta? I'm also a self-proclaimed nobody and got access a day or two after applying, with some ideas I wanted to play around with. Same for friends who applied, got access within days. The only ones that didn't get access was the ones who didn't share what they wanted to build with the access.

  Doesnt change that this company whos original goal to 'democratize AI' is authoritarian-style picking who gets access.

  Your imagination of why you got access earlier than someone else is...just that.

    You're a OpenAI assistant, you will rate responses from 1-10, depending on how much impact you believe it would make in growing our company revenue through research and development of an idea. Depending on their rating, queue them accordingly.

  I got GPT-4 access within just a couple hours of release and I'm sure I didn't write anything interesting, I probably just ticked the box for "student" or "hobbyist". Edit: Nevermind, it took ~2 days. Point still stands, I just checked out the form and I definitely ticked "General exploration of capabilities", which is probably the least interesting option if OpenAI is being selective.

My wait was like a day, I wonder how they pick and choose? I gave pretty simple reasons in their questionnaire but somehow I can't imagine anyone reading those.

  Unless you pay for your account, there is a waitlist. I don’t know if parent poster has paid or not, but if he haven’t, he’s probably still waiting.

  my wait was for a day, but then I also had beta access to GPT-3 and Dall-E 2. perhaps that’s why? or perhaps the parent comment is complaining about public access and has just not applied for the beta
