My feedback is that you should delete this and do something worthwhile rather than help propagate more machine-generated filth.

Who gives a shit? Interns have shut down AWS before, does that mean nobody should hire anyone again?

lol always leave it to ignorant devs on HN to speak a bunch of nonsense confidently

you know absolutely nothing about how enterprise companies work and why 10% of the internet pay to use chatgpt

It's worth noting that, while a noteworthy paper, nobody really expected the Transformer at the time to be the breakthrough it eventually became.

> One would usually share those numbers to get more money from investors.

.... yes they share them with their prospective investors, not publicly lol. did you seriously just say this?

> What the fuck would their competitors do with their retention numbers?

The fact that you would even ask this question (and your ridiculous previous comment) shows your ineptitude and how pointless it is to discuss this with you

Run along now, go tell everyone how Dropbox is just a pointless FTP wrapper and will never catch on

That's fine. I'm not the one making claims about chatGPTs retention. But assuming they have poor retention is just silly.

Why would OpenAI share their retention numbers for their competitors to know? Nobody outside of silly AI-skeptic HN devs would think they have crappy retention.

The vast numbers of people online who have been very public about how much they use ChatGPT.

- customer support automation - marketing copy - sales automation - internal knowledge base - analytics - onboarding & hr - notetaking

do you want me to keep going?

I agree some of their models are losing ground, but blanketing Open AI overall as an overhyped underperforming company because of that is just silly.

This just sounds like cope. There is no evidence that ChatGPT has a retention problem. Quite the contrary.

Where's your evidence that ChatGPT does not retain users?

Of course, the millions of people using it every day are doing it because of hype.

The clueless arrogance of devs on HN will never cease to amaze me.

Yeah, well reasoned take.

Hackernews is way too defensive about AI. Open AI didn't go from 0 to $5b because of hype, it got there because of how useful it is.

I don't think you realize how much people use ChatGPT.

Agreed, though I think it's just going from a 1 horse to a 3 horse race

Could you explain how exactly they're under-performing?

Really? Is o3-mini-high better than o1-pro?

I think the main problem is at a certain point you can't not take Softbank's money... your only alternative is going public

so you've moved the goalposts even further now and speculate that succesful people started out as slackers, got lucky, and that luck made them work harder

as an Asian, it amazes me how far Americans and Europeans will go to avoid a hard days work

I don't think you understand what first mover advantage is

In a world of zero switching costs, there is no such thing as first mover advantage

Especially when several companies like (A121 Labs and Cohere) appeared well before Anthropic and aren't anywhere close to Open AI

What you want has nothing to do with what makes you happy

Netflix cannot make you happy

so please enlighten us why OpenAI is doing so much better than Anthropic

yeah because you're a hacker news poster lol

same audience who think Jobs is a grifter and Woz is the true reason for Apple's success

it's weird how nobodies will always tell themselves succesful people got there by sheer blind luck

yet they can never seem to explain why those succesful people all seem to have similar traits in terms of work ethic and intelligence

you'd think there would be a bunch of lazy slackers making it big in tech but alas

Your strongly held belief that flies in the face of the dominant belief among today's leading linguists

That's not what "want" means though

You will only stay subscribed if what Netflix surfaces what you "want" to watch

What's the difference between that which optimized for what you call "engagement" and what the average user wants?

Presumably the best thing for Netflix is to have a happy userbase, so why do you assume it wouldn't optimize for that?

And did you use your 25 years of Java experience making $80k fixing waterfalls? lol

Wow 4 years ago you sure showed me buddy
