    There will be a daily call for those tasked
    with improving the chatbot, the memo said,
    and Altman encouraged temporary team transfers
    to speed up development.

Truly brilliant software development management going on here. Daily update meetings and temporary staff transfers. Well known strategies for increasing velocity!

Don't forget scuttling all the projects the staff has been working overtime to complete so that they can focus on "make it better!" waves hands frantically

…someone even wrote a book about this. Something about “mythical men”… :D

		Seriously I think this is needed. The industry has become delusional.

I've had ideas for how to improve all the different chatbots for like 3 years, nobodys has implemented any of them (usually my ideas get implemented in software somehow the devs read my mind, but AI seems to be stuck with the same UI for LLMs), none of these AI shops are ran by people with vision it feels like. Everyone's just remaking a slightly better version of SmarterChild.

Oh man, I hadn’t thought of SmarterChild in dog’s years! It was an early AIM chatbot, and felt like magic at the time. Looking back it feels like there’s a clear through-line from it (and the rest of ActiveBuddy’s menagerie) to the ChatGPTs of the world today…

For today’s lucky 10,000, here’s a Vice retrospective from 2016:

I really want a UI that visualises branching. I would like to branch out of specific parts of the responses and continue the conversation there but also keep the original conversation. This seems to be a very standard feature but no one has developed it.

		Would require something like snapshotting context windows, but I agree, something like this would be nice.

Did you open-source / publish these ideas?

▲

giancarlostoro 6 hours ago | parent [-]

I'm not giving any of these people my ideas for free. Though I did think of making my own UI for some of these services at some point.

		arxiv/github or it did not happen

i agree - it shows a remarkable lack of creativity that we're still stuck with a fairly subpar UX for interacting with these tools

Quite right tbh.

		Like when OpenAI started experiencing a massive brain drain.

▲ TheOccasionalWr 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-]

What if they make 2 daily calls, that would surely improve the velocity by 2 times!

▲ simianwords 6 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-]

Its easy to dismiss it but what would you do instead?
