Just to expand upon this further. I am also deeply frustrated that my application for API access to GPT4 appears to have been a whisper into the void, meanwhile Sam Altman's buddies or people with the Tech-Good-Ol-Boy connections have gotten a multi-month head-start on any commercial applications. That's not a fair and level playing field. Is that really what we want to cement in with regulation??

May I also expand this even further. I'm frustrated that I don't have access to OpenAI. I can't use it to build any applications, and they are putting us behind in this market. Only as customers not as a developers.

I enjoyed casually playing with ChatGPT until they just arbitrarily decided to ban the IP ranges I browse from. Keep in mind I had already given in and spilled one of my phone numbers to them. That's the kind of arbitrary and capricious authoritarianism that "Open" AI is already engaged in.

I don't trust these corporate hucksters one bit. As I've said in a previous comment: if they want to demonstrate their earnest benevolence, why don't they work on regulation to reign in the previous humanity-enslaving mess they created - commercial mass surveillance.
