Are you a real person ? Obviously there is more to it than that. Just because you’ve seen Mickey Mouse and can draw you should get to sell anything you can make with his likeness ? Or record any song you’ve heard ?
Obviously there is some gray area in the training conversation but let’s not pretend that these content owner arguments are baseless just to push progress at all costs ahead.
His point stands.
Obviously dumb, but also can’t say I even knew this existed until now.
Was it good ?
I don’t know enough of biology or genetics or evolution, but surely the millions of years of training that is hardcoded into our genes and expressed in our biology had much larger “training” runs.
The math here is pretty simple.
OpenAI clearly wants the “her” association. It’s already the favourite voice and projects many of the existing and imagined capabilities really well.
So they tried to pay for it, but it was either too expensive or blocked by SJ.
Her/teams comments read like a negotiation.
But I suspect they’ve overplayed their hand. At best they may get a settlement and OpenAI will modify the voice to make it sound less like SJ.
Whoever bought this should include this blog post. The forgery/story is more valuable than original/real badge.
It’s reply’s like this that make HN a good place.
No they are not.
This is a negotiation tactic by the NYT to drive up the licensing price. Period.
The Napster/Music Industry analogy has no resemblance to this situation.
The only meaningful question that might be answered as a result of this is, what permission and access rights do crawlers have to content that is publicly and legally available.
This wasn’t obvious, but it seems likely when you put it that way.
Unlike other iconic company/founder origin stories OpenAI really felt like they hit a special team dynamic that was on the verge of some equally special.
In light of this OpenAI still feels like they will be a relevant player, but I’ll be expecting more from Sam and Greg.
It happens everywhere and with everyone. I wouldn’t read into it that much. Personally I find the lack of capitalism more sincere and I see everyone at every level on the totem do it.
How did this make it to the first page on HN?
This answered a question I had “I wonder what that guy who wrote that thing on ‘the superintelligence/fast take off idea eating smart people’ thinks of all this new ai stuff” thanks HN!
I still can’t understand the “supersmart ai is so smart we can’t unplug it/patch it/restart it” before it transfers itself into every pacemaker.
Until these things are literally in bodies with some autonomy that allows them to control what happens to their brains, we will shut them off when they cause trouble.
Great work! Write more!
Beautiful. Simple. fun.
Does context window size matter beyond a certain point?
It’s extremely under utilized.
Everyone could be producing way more than they currently are.
Everyone could be generating 1 app every 3 hours.
Everyone could be writing entire novels.
Everyone could be writing meaningful Wikipedia articles.
DIY guides should be 100x larger .
The irony that OpenAI used a google form to launch their waitlist.
The following will out perform every fancy nootropic:
Drink as much water as you can. Breathe clean air. Walk. Get as much sleep as you can. Lift something heavy regularly.
It might not be good at generating original posts, but it’s really good at generating HN comments.

This time is different for two reasons:
1) It actually works 2) people are paying for it
And that is with the handicapped version (sandboxed and no wallet attached).
Once you can give these systems web access and a wallet we’ll see the full size of the wave.
Letting them connect to the internet seems dangerous. Not because of some hypothetical AI Safety, but the very real human abuse.
Someone recently put this well: Don’t think of gpt chat as one really smart friend, instead think of it as an army of dumb pawns.
These models are awesome but releasing them in the wild (I.e. not sandboxed) seems really irresponsible.
I hope these modes are prohibitively expensive to train so we can figure out a way to release them responsibly when they can be open.
Seems like they could of made this a lot better with a basic lighting setup … but nothing was as a bad as the comments suggest.
The signup flow seems to have a bug. If I refresh the page it works, but until then it hangs on the spinner.
Great work! Are you selling it at some point ?
Any way for people to extend it ?
CraftCMS
1. Get a customer based on a mock-up/landing page.
2. Use whatever stack you know to build what they will pay for.
3. Rinse and repeat and add features as customers pay for them.
Not a paradigm shift.
Naive at best. Manipulative at worst. Scam isn’t accurate
Our bodies can’t handle large doses of refined/high density compounds (sugar, alcohol, opioids, etc) or social interactions (being judged by 1000s/millions).
Thanks for linking to the original thread. The top comment was a great reminder that the internet is filled with different types of people.
