There will be a daily call for those tasked
with improving the chatbot, the memo said,
and Altman encouraged temporary team transfers
to speed up development.
Truly brilliant software development management going on here. Daily update meetings and temporary staff transfers. Well known strategies for increasing velocity!
- lubujackson 11mo agoDon't forget scuttling all the projects the staff has been working overtime to complete so that they can focus on "make it better!" waves hands frantically
- another_twist 11mo ago"The results of this quarter were already baked in a couple of quarters ago" - Jeff Bezos Quite right tbh.
- tiahura 11mo agoLike when OpenAI started experiencing a massive brain drain.
- giancarlostoro 11mo agoI've had ideas for how to improve all the different chatbots for like 3 years, nobodys has implemented any of them (usually my ideas get implemented in software somehow the devs read my mind, but AI seems to be stuck with the same UI for LLMs), none of these AI shops are ran by people with vision it feels like. Everyone's just remaking a slightly better version of SmarterChild.
- whiplash451 11mo agoDid you open-source / publish these ideas?
- giancarlostoro 11mo agoI'm not giving any of these people my ideas for free. Though I did think of making my own UI for some of these services at some point.
- whiplash451 11mo agoarxiv/github or it did not happen
- theplatman 11mo agoi agree - it shows a remarkable lack of creativity that we're still stuck with a fairly subpar UX for interacting with these tools
- simianwords 11mo agoI really want a UI that visualises branching. I would like to branch out of specific parts of the responses and continue the conversation there but also keep the original conversation. This seems to be a very standard feature but no one has developed it.
- giancarlostoro 11mo agoWould require something like snapshotting context windows, but I agree, something like this would be nice.
- alwa 11mo agoOh man, I hadn’t thought of SmarterChild in dog’s years! It was an early AIM chatbot, and felt like magic at the time. Looking back it feels like there’s a clear through-line from it (and the rest of ActiveBuddy’s menagerie) to the ChatGPTs of the world today… For today’s lucky 10,000, here’s a Vice retrospective from 2016: https://www.vice.com/en/article/a-history-of-smarterchild/ https://www.vice.com/en/article/a-history-of-smarterchild/

- mlmonkey 11mo agoThe beatings will continue until morale^H^H^H^H^H^H chatGPT improves...
- trymas 11mo ago…someone even wrote a book about this. Something about “mythical men”… :D
- zingababba 11mo agoNeeds an update re: mythical AI.
- kilroy123 11mo agoSeriously I think this is needed. The industry has become delusional.
- simianwords 11mo agoIts easy to dismiss it but what would you do instead?
- TheOccasionalWr 11mo agoWhat if they make 2 daily calls, that would surely improve the velocity by 2 times!
