Between purchasing chat.com, and this new 800 number, I sometimes feel like OpenAI is really channeling that 90s dot com era energy.

- jonny_eh 2y agoFeels like something Google would do in the early days, but not now.
- kibwen 2y agoAnd ChatGPT still does lets me do less today than Zombo.com let me do in 1999.
- mgkimsal 2y agoYou could do ANYTHING at zombo.com, if I remember correctly. At zombo.com, anything was possible. EDIT: There is one limit at zombo.com. The limit is myself.
- colejohnson66 2y agoThat's only because Zombo had everything. It was the original everything app/site that Musk so desperately wants X to be. Nothing can top that - not even AI.
- jaredsohn 2y agoOpenAI acquisition/synergizing/rebrand to zombo.com incoming and then we'll complain about them ruining Zombo.
- deadfa11 2y agoZombo.com really had everything, way ahead of its time. It's been a while... maybe since the last time I lost the game.
- layer8 2y agoWe need 1-800-ZOMBOCOM.
- xanderlewis 2y agoI’m all for it! Maybe they’ll start auctioning off pixels on openai.com.
- codetrotter 2y agoIf you’re quick, you might be able to grab a 88x31 spot!
- lm28469 2y agoNext month we'll have LetterGPT and by 2026 they'll introduce MorseGPT to let us communicate via telegram
- ravenstine 2y agoWhy stop there? We could have ChatGPT the breakfast cereal! ChatGPT the coloring book! ChatGPT the flamethrower! (the kids love that one) The scary thing is it's actually conceivable to somehow integrate GPT into those things.
- sterlind 2y agoChatGPT the breakfast cereal is just alphabet bites. Nutritious but the next-token prediction accuracy is terrible.
- jaredsohn 2y agoFaxGPT as well
- area51org 2y agoDon't leave out ChatTelex and ChatCarrierPigeon.
- dghlsakjg 2y agoControversial take: LLMs are the first time in a while that I have felt like emerging technology trends is doing something cool and adding value. For the past 8-10 years it has all felt like a bunch of apps that just aim to be mediocre middlemen/gig economy brokers with bad customer service.
- itishappy 2y ago> a bunch of apps that just aim to be mediocre middlemen/gig economy brokers with bad customer service Isn't this the new LLM playbook?
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- dghlsakjg 2y agoHow so? I pay Claude/ChatGPT trivial amounts of money for metered API access to their models, and they in turn provide it to me. Middlemen/marketplace models like "Uber for x" or "Etsy for x" or "Betterhelp for x" is a totally different business model.
- itishappy 2y agoI had in mind the surge in LLM chat support and the surge in thin ChatGPT wrappers with a custom system prompt. Claude/ChatGPT do seem useful, "an AI companion for Microsoft Paint" less so.
- vasco 2y agoAnd now we will have mediocre middlemen/gig economy brokers with bad customer service performed by AI agents that you can summarize with chatgpt and automatically reply back to. Progress!!
- otabdeveloper4 2y ago> doing something cool Yes. > and adding value. No. The only breakthrough innovation LLMs gave us is the ability to speedrun the making of racist pictures. Not sure the world really benefited.
- joshuaturner 2y agoAOL keyword "chat"
