I'm surprised folks on Hackernews are always critical of V1s.

In 18 month, apps will have APIs for "agentic browsing" ™OoTheNigerian ;)

And you will not need to give anything control over your browser. I you will merely connect your app to OpenAI or any other client.

When 4o came out with its chain of thought, people thought this is it. And today, nobody really cares. Its just another LLM.

Same thing with this.

The other day I was writing some code to compute some geometric angles, and I was getting 2 different results for what I though was the same angle, but in fact I didn't realize that these angles should not be equivalent. No LLM was able to tell me the issue, they just said double check my work.

4o models don't have chain of thought, are you thinking of o1 perhaps?

yep you are right, got the name confused.

OpenAI is a $50B company that should be releasing serious products, the "scrappy hacker releasing a beta product that doesn't do much" as a defense doesn't apply.

Yeah I also wonder how come web scraping was so vilified in all ToS's but I guess if you spend a lot of energy on GPUs and pay OpenAI then it's legit.

I'd much rather them release early than not release at all. By your logic ChatGPT will still be in internal testing and the whole industry would be way behind where it is today

ChatGPT was released when they still had pretext of being a research-based nonprofit, and it was explicitly released as a free research preview.
