I don't believe they can actually do anything about it as this "culture" comes from the very top. I remember a few years ago an Amazon worker died in the workplace and his supervisor watched him die instead of helping him bec

I used it and was really disappointed, maybe because of the hype. It generates a long page of entries that I used to generate in the past, often with better results. Note I use it for code generation, not for problem solving. So I cancelled

While I agree with you in general, I see no way to actually sensibly enforce this. Whatever activity you take, it can be abused. For example Google is abusing their position by feeding a stream of right-wing and related stuff to my mother b

While I somewhat agree with you, feminism and related ideologies created a whole new network of concepts of what is good and wrong, and these can bite you as much as the old prejudices. A good example is the Harry Potter lady: while I don&#

I remember Murati's interview where she said about this PhD level reasoning and so on, so I was excited to see what they come up with - and it looks like they just used a bunch of models (like 4o's) and linked them in a chain of t

That's my concern - they marked 4 as "legacy" in the GUI, and now they hid it temporarily under a submenu - but it's the only model I care about. If they remove it, there is no reason for me to use their services, especi

While I agree, I saw it abused in this way a lot, in the sense that the code did what it was supposed to do in a given scenario but was obviously flawed in various was so it was just sitting there waiting for a disaster.

From the article: > I expect to continue mostly using GPT-4o (and Claude 3.5 Sonnet) I saw similar comments elsewhere and I'm stunned - am I the only one who considers 4o a step back when compared to 4 for textual input and output?

That's one of the reasons that, after the initial infatuation, I actively try to avoid ChatGPT except for very specific scenarios. It's like a cheap life choice - seems attractive on the surface but the long-term outcomes are ofte
