My feedback is that you should delete this and do something worthwhile rather than help propagate more machine-generated filth.

Who gives a shit? Interns have shut down AWS before, does that mean nobody should hire anyone again?

lol always leave it to ignorant devs on HN to speak a bunch of nonsense confidently you know absolutely nothing about how enterprise companies work and why 10% of the internet pay to use chatgpt

It's worth noting that, while a noteworthy paper, nobody really expected the Transformer at the time to be the breakthrough it eventually became.

That's fine. I'm not the one making claims about chatGPTs retention. But assuming they have poor retention is just silly. Why would OpenAI share their retention numbers for their competitors to know? Nobody outside of silly AI-ske

The vast numbers of people online who have been very public about how much they use ChatGPT.

- customer support automation - marketing copy - sales automation - internal knowledge base - analytics - onboarding & hr - notetaking do you want me to keep going?

I agree some of their models are losing ground, but blanketing Open AI overall as an overhyped underperforming company because of that is just silly.

This just sounds like cope. There is no evidence that ChatGPT has a retention problem. Quite the contrary.

by bobxmax 2y ago
Where's your evidence that ChatGPT does not retain users?
192.
by bobxmax 2y ago
Of course, the millions of people using it every day are doing it because of hype. The clueless arrogance of devs on HN will never cease to amaze me.
193.
by bobxmax 2y ago
Yeah, well reasoned take. Hackernews is way too defensive about AI. Open AI didn't go from 0 to $5b because of hype, it got there because of how useful it is.

I don't think you realize how much people use ChatGPT.
195.
by bobxmax 2y ago
Agreed, though I think it's just going from a 1 horse to a 3 horse race

Could you explain how exactly they're under-performing?

Really? Is o3-mini-high better than o1-pro?

I think the main problem is at a certain point you can't not take Softbank's money... your only alternative is going public

so you've moved the goalposts even further now and speculate that succesful people started out as slackers, got lucky, and that luck made them work harder as an Asian, it amazes me how far Americans and Europeans will go to avoid a har

I don't think you understand what first mover advantage is In a world of zero switching costs, there is no such thing as first mover advantage Especially when several companies like (A121 Labs and Cohere) appeared well before Anthropic

What you want has nothing to do with what makes you happy Netflix cannot make you happy

by bobxmax 2y ago
so please enlighten us why OpenAI is doing so much better than Anthropic

by bobxmax 2y ago
yeah because you're a hacker news poster lol same audience who think Jobs is a grifter and Woz is the true reason for Apple's success

by bobxmax 2y ago
it's weird how nobodies will always tell themselves succesful people got there by sheer blind luck yet they can never seem to explain why those succesful people all seem to have similar traits in terms of work ethic and intelligence yo

Your strongly held belief that flies in the face of the dominant belief among today's leading linguists

That's not what "want" means though

You will only stay subscribed if what Netflix surfaces what you "want" to watch

by bobxmax 2y ago
What's the difference between that which optimized for what you call "engagement" and what the average user wants? Presumably the best thing for Netflix is to have a happy userbase, so why do you assume it wouldn't optim
