Just read their privacy....

"Arc Max uses OpenAI’s API Platform and Anthropic’s Claude for commercial applications. These features are off by default in the desktop app and not available in the mobile app at this time."

which include in some cases: the whole content of website, URL, etc...

(Just a demonstration to prove that it train on human and understand location - later prompt engineering could reveal more)

AWWWW... It would be great to share some "meta-data" on the usecase - i wonder whether it is narrow task (that can be done via CRON job), or something that are more general and can be creative and not in control sometimes. What kind of tools that the agent use? (Web-search/ Generating content/...) Did you made any modification to the code or use it "as is". if so- how much time did you spend on the modification and in what kind of areas...

Feel free to answer only subset of the questions that you feel comfortable with them.

can you elaborate?
Interesting tactics might going the other direction.

Those 5/6 example are not that complicated and are quite common (plus they didn't share why they chose those exact examples and not others!!!) , thus there utility and if they want to make them vialable to others they should make them independently in clear way and not to write "long article" to hide those example and entangled with their MS tools.

Sorry but this give bad name to what "pure research" should act like (it's smells like marketing from miles).

There are so much red flags (also here in the comments & the "surprised conclusions") - open your eyes and be more critical thinker.

In this thought-provoking post, I delve into the intriguing connection between AI-power control and the 51% attack. With the emergence of regulatory discussions surrounding AI and the potential risks it poses, it becomes crucial to explore the parallels between these concerns and the concept of the 51% attack in cryptocurrency. By examining the concentration of power in AI models and its implications, we gain valuable insights into the need for thoughtful regulation and its impact on innovation.
I think we should call it GEO - GPT Engine Optimization. :)

Furthermore, the article lack of how to tackle those shifts with depth analysis. For example: How can one put their info to be presented by a GPT/GPT-plugins.

This doesn't matter. MSFT got exclusivity of using their services that no other firm on earth got (which basically the same as aquirement..).

This is not fair-play and someone should at least raise it up to level of awareness.

Re:Gpt4free repo given takedown notice by OpenAI on Friday April 28, 2023 @03:20PM (#35745892)
it's not bankrupting them, as the author is highly ethic (by using only "Big companies" open apis and remove the small one and the ones that ask from him to be removed).

But as for your comment, i see it rather as opportunity to make it only with Opt-in by the companies themselves. That way it will actually make it even win-win situation for them for Marketing and Ads (with lower price).

Let's arrange a donation for the creator of this Repo.

This is gold and crucial for democratization of AI tools.

Why no ones talk about a potential anti-trust of MSFT? (regarding acquisition of OPENAI)??
Seems like pretty basic prompts...

Nothing special that are not already have seen on the internet :(.

Re:Show HN: Twitter API Reverse Engineered on Wednesday April 12, 2023 @08:34PM (#35549218)
Is this replacement for paying to Twitter new policy subscription?
Not sure at all..

They are siting on gigantic data flywheel of users usages.. (and private access to the best machine that can utilized that data..)

So, IMHO it would be hard to catch with their speed (not in this hype cycle).

8-72 hours - as beta product we do manually QA (Human in the loop) in addition to our AI-scoring mechanism, so it depends on the traffic to our site. -Due to the fact that only the computation part takes around 2.5 hours.

But we have plans to reduce it to below half in hour in this month.
