1. We are all forced to use the damn "chat" API instead of regular completions. Can't wait to have to deal with chatgpt's conversations in order to get a few lines of code out 2. We loose the super valuable 'insert' and 'edit' modes, which were great for code 3. 3-day notice period? that's going to be a hell for people who are actually providing products based on codex or doing research
And it's not like what OpenAI did was an impossible magic trick. They've had a right team composition. And three insights. All present in the literature. Repeat that, you'll have GPT-4. But GPT-5. Well, that one is different game.
As to being open, they are still relatively open. Consider Apple, for example. No one complains about Apple being a bit skittish. Well, OpenAI got a bit skittish too. It's a period. They'll stabilize. And their setup of the company, with the non-profit board in control, profit caps is a really interesting try at the corporate design.
> 1. skittish, flighty, spooky, nervous -- (unpredictably excitable (especially of horses))
(I didn't know the word skittish, and I figured this might help others, too.)
Wonder if dang could take a look at this.
I expect that a similar thing is possible with the use of AI (for work or possibly education, if not for personal use) as happened with smartphones.
