ChatGPT presumably adds them as special tokens to the cl100k_base tokenizer, as they demo in the tiktoken documentation: https://github.com/openai/tiktoken#extending-tiktoken

In theory they could be added in normal input but it's possible OpenAI has safeguards against it.

One quick comment: is there an open-ended sandbox where I can just write whatever code where I want? Even after creating an account I couldn't find such a button, or even the "pay $5/mo upsell" button.

I feel like such a mode would be useful for instructors that are working through a problem with their students, ideally without having to go through all the lessons first.

As for students, once they get proficient in a language they'll want to use it to make things -- from what I've seen in other learn-to-code environments kids end up co-opting the later lessons to do so if you don't give a way for them to create new projects.

> This is, quite obviously, a phenomenal outcome for Microsoft. The company already has a perpetual license to all OpenAI IP (short of artificial general intelligence), including source code and model weights; the question was whether it would have the talent to exploit that IP if OpenAI suffered the sort of talent drain that was threatened upon Altman and Brockman’s removal. Indeed they will, as a good portion of that talent seems likely to flow to Microsoft; you can make the case that Microsoft just acquired OpenAI for $0 and zero risk of an antitrust lawsuit.

> (Microsoft’s original agreement with OpenAI also barred Microsoft from pursuing AGI based on OpenAI tech on its own; my understanding is that this clause was removed in the most recent agreement)

> Microsoft’s gain, meanwhile, is OpenAI’s loss, which is dependent on the Redmond-based company for both money and compute: the work its employees will do on AI will either be Microsoft’s by virtue of that perpetual license, or Microsoft’s directly because said employees joined Altman’s team. OpenAI’s trump card is ChatGPT, which is well on its way to achieving the holy grail of tech — an at-scale consumer platform — but if the reporting this weekend is to be believed, OpenAI’s board may have already had second thoughts about the incentives ChapGPT placed on the company (more on this below).

Did you know you can get free food at some church gatherings? Then when they want to talk to you about their beliefs you can spit in their face, tell them where to shove it and throw their pamphlets in the garbage. You can also take as many free napkins and ketchup packets as you want from McDonalds to bring home. If the staff starts complaining you can flip them the shocker and stomp on a few ketchup packets like a real hacker so they have to clean up the floor after you leave.
That's not how the right tool for the job works: the tool that results in the smallest bundle size and the most impressive web metrics is absolutely worthless if 99% of the value in what you're making is it existing and the creator of said tool doesn't feel like building out a SPA.

> If OpenAI ceased to exist, can Microsoft take the code, model weights, everything of ChatGPT 4, and just continue developing it and produce a new MS-ChatGPT based on it?

Well, if OpenAI magically got erased from existence, probably.

More realistic scenarios, like if they continued to exist, but there was a legal dispute about breach by Microsoft of the agreements by which Microsoft got access to the IP, may be more complicated.

Gold isn’t easy to steal because there are centuries worth of physical security demands that have evolved to protect it. Its relatively easy to take a chunk of metal from someone otherwise.

Nothing you listed applies to bitcoin besides remote theft. The whole point of a blockchain is be fault tolerant in the face of those real failures. Remote theft occurs from a failure to secure your private keys. That’s human error and will be resolved in the same way as gold with… custodians aka a bank.

OpenAI won the current state of the adoption war because they focused on commercial availability and being willing to lose money on every API call more than others. There is no groundbreaking tech behind it.

>Microsoft take the code, model weights, everything of ChatGPT 4, and just continue developing it and produce a new MS-ChatGPT based on it?

They don't need Sam to do that, or his employees. With the current state of LLMs they can hire a few dozen people with some experience and that wouldn't be the hard part.

In my mind the aggressive poaching OpenAI has been doing with Meta and Google is because they have nothing special. If they did they wouldn't need to grow to 800 headcount and still hiring. They're anticipating some company will have the next breakthrough, and they wanted every important brain on their side

Having the weights to another transformer based LLM is great, but its not going to change humanity. The only thing I saw this weekend was a bunch of entrepreneurs who's new startup is 100% dependent on the GPT-4 API freaking out. Thats not ground breaking
Every single firm will give sweetheart deals to large customers.

The marginal unit cost of serving a large customer is always lower than serving a smaller one. Why shouldn't I pass the savings to that large customer?

The risk premium for serving a large established firm is lower than serving a smaller one (including payment failure risk). Why shouldn't I pass the savings to that large customers?

Large customers also give you predictive revenue and gives sufficient room in purchasing decisions. Why shouldn't I pass the savings to the large customers?

Large customers may also bring in other customers and open up new revenue channels for me. Why shouldn't I pass the benefit to them?

Economies of scale is a thing and that's how consumers get to enjoy low prices and high quality.

Oh geez I am so sorry. Truly. I guess I had a false notion that "executive dysfunction" was a softer term/catch-all for various problems around procrastination/focus, not something that is diagnosed explicitly such that you could feel this invalidation. Really sorry. I will edit accordingly.
My understanding is they reduced the number of ensembles feeding gpt4 so they could support more customers. I want to say they cut it from 16 to 8. Take that with a grain of salt, that comes through the rumor telephone.

Are you prompting it with instructions about how it should behave at the start of a chat, or just using the defaults? You can get better results by starting a chat with "you are an expert X developer, with experience in xyz and write full and complete programs" and tweak as needed.
I'm guessing you're just reading federal taxes. There are a barrage of taxes applied to fuel. California shows over $1.24 per gallon in total. Nationally it's over 64 cents/gal. That's tens of billions of dollars nationally, and more than we spend on the energy & environment in total. One of the major problems with infrastructure spending is that these numbers have barely budged in decades. Combine that lack of political will with improvements in fuel mileage and increase in EVs means big budget shortfalls. That money has to be made up from somewhere and I can all but bet it won't come from cutting entitlements. A 'mileage driven' tax seems like a reasonable solution.

Honestly this sounds like CEO-ish for, "Yes, we can build a similar product but don't necessarily have all the IP." If there was a simple answer to the interviewer's question, he would have given it.

If people struggle to give full attention to movies they actually find engaging and want to give their full attention, then that is an issue. If people feel they get more value from not giving a movie their full attention, that's a perfectly reasonable choice.

That maybe but.. M$ was going to give 18 Billion to OpenAI just to have a seat at the table. They no longer have to spend that 18 Billion and it will likely cost them far less to defend themselves against legal action. In addition they will essentially be acquiring the company for far less money than they would have to spend if it were actually for sale. Bean Counter Score 10 of 10 winner move.

Plus I do not think the OpenAI employees threaten to quit and go to M$ - they simply threatening to leave which is their legal right.

Worked at a company that did a CEO replacement - it did not go well - better than OpenAI but badly just the same. Their board was very naive - after OpenAI received an $80 Billion valuation most of the employees didn't really see Sam Altman leaving the building but that dream of owning a Testarossa stopped dancing in their heads.

> Scale: 330M persons versus 1M - 40M persons. Also: budget, legal authority, known illegal abuses (Florida never tried to render a citizen to Gitmo).

The jurisdiction of your ID doesn't change your legal jurisdiction. I.e. having a Florida ID instead of a federal ID won't prevent the feds sending you to Gitmo.

> Mass surveillance of citizens, invasion of privacy, you know, things like that.

The feds already have access to DMV data from all the states.

I think there was a time where having to get data from state DMV's would have been a nominal hurdle, but not anymore. I'm on team federal ID these days because I don't think the feds get access to any additional data, and most state DMV's suck. It's easier to get a passport than a driver's license these days, I'm more confident in the feds ability to make a functional ID system.

You make that deal when your CEO Sam Altman wants to take the company private instead of being open as originally planned and sell to Microsoft eventually. I don’t know where people got the idea that Microsoft wouldn’t own OpenAI one day. It’s always been in the cards and these events just accelerated that potential outcome. If OpenAI didn’t want to sell to Microsoft why didn’t they court any other cloud platforms? Why hasn’t another cloud platform stepped up for similar deals for GPT v5? It’s all been fairly obvious IMO.

The bigger question to me is if what Satya is saying is true, why even continue the charade with OpenAI’s board? Then what Satya is saying is probably just to protect the stock price.

30% is because most transactions, early on, were around $1. And processing fees are usually $0.25 + ~3% = so 28% of the average transaction.

When you start applying that 30% to $15 spotify subs, $50 uber rides, $60 video game, then a bunch of in-app purchases ranging in value; the math falls apart and if you have scale to do it, the negotiated rate makes more sense for those businesses given the average transaction amount.
That's where I was going. There's a bias in these discussions that overlooks a century of contributions (previous poster referred to them as perfection). SpaceX didn't invent space travel from square one, they are optimizing the last 10%: larger size, and better re-usability. Elevating them to gods pisses in the face of the century of previous experts who learned the hard way because there was no NASA before them.
Feels like half of this advice is directed at people that wouldn‘t profit from it. The reason people higher up are/become less ethical is because that usually is a quality needed to rise.

Someone elses business model is not my problem.

I also very rarely shop wal-mart and the primary reason is your stop-loss prevention issues are not my problem, you feeling the need to treat me as a potential thief is.

theft is a cost of doing business, ad blockers are a cost of doing business. These companies have alternatives that don't involve treating their users like shit, but the alternatives aren't as profitable.

If you were to tell me youtube would go out of business if I continue to use an adblocker then they would go out of business. Someone else will figure out how to make it work or it was never going to work.

Some things are more important than youtubes preferred business model working.

It's really interesting to see the amount of misinformation being propagated lately.

Do people not bother to fact check anything?

The creator of ublock has made an ad blocker specifically for the new API and it's available to use right now. It's objectively incorrect to claim that ad blockers will not work after June 2024.

The ublock lite extension does have some limitations, such as not allowing you to create filters at runtime. This is the result of not allowing extensions to load code at runtime.

It's fair to criticize this limitation, but that's not what's happening here.

This information is available, it's not hidden, you can read the readme of the ublock lite github repo or something, but are not even attempting to do this for some reason.

I have used the ublock lite extensions to see for myself if it's totally broken, and it worked fine for me, the main limitation for me is not having the "element zapper", but it not blocking ads was not something that I experienced.

I am all for criticizing companies actions, and ad blockers are very important to me just as well as anyone else here, but the dishonestly is very off putting and disappointing.

I like thinking about analogs between computers and brains. For instance, working memory as RAM, or deja vu as orphaned linked lists.

What’s the analog for LLM context windows?

Maybe consciousness is essentially a context window, and when we dream during sleep we are compressing knowledge to free up context space or something.
> Why would OpenAI give away all of it's IP to Microsoft for that cheap

Building an LLM is one thing, operating one is another. Without a massive discount on actual operations OpenAI didn't have much of a business. They were likely getting their Azure stuff at cost, the same as an internal Microsoft org would be charged for Azure, which is cheaper than building their own infrastructure or paying retail cloud rates.

Microsoft wouldn't give them such a sweet deal without guarantees on their part. They're not going to put up billions and base products on a company that could cease to exist at any minute for a bunch of reasons.
