💬 Summary

Are you eager to build ChatGPT Apps? I heard OpenAI released an Apps SDK without the SDK... :sweat_smile:

We were really excited to use it, so we built an SDK for Apps SDK. Check it out and give us a github star if you like it

🗣️ Post 2: Unpopular Opinion: ChatGPT is no substitute for learning core coding concepts

💬 Summary

When chatgpt churns out boilerplate code and ready snippets for your projects, it's easy to fall in that trap of "I am building this" or "I am more productive now" but in the greater scheme of things, "ChatGPT knows" is still no different than "Google knows" or "Wikipedia knows" or "Stack Overflow knows".

At the end of the day, we have just replaced one kind of "reference monster" with another that feels somewhat interactive and intimate, is good at searching and filtering, and gives all information through one interface.

But eventually, you must still learn the technical concepts the hard and old school way. AI is still no substitute for that and it won't be even if AGI ever arrives.

In some ways, LLM is more deceptive than Google/Wikipedia because it gives you the false sense of feeling that you've achieved something or know something when you actually haven't (in the strict technical sense).

🗣️ Post 3: Ask HN: Build Your Own LLM?

💬 Summary

The best way to really understand how something works is to build it yourself. So I am wondering if there are any good tutorials on building your own LLM from scratch. I.e. implementing tokenisation, embeddings, attention and so on. I am not suggesting one could replicate chatGPT, but more a toy model that implements the core features but based on a much smaller corpus and training data.

🗣️ Post 4: Use AI to Generate Visual AI Agents

💬 Summary

A ChatGPT app is basically a micro app, or a widget, that can be injected into the chatbot when needed. Such apps can be for instance purchasing forms, integrated with E-Commerce systems, such as Shopify or WooCommerce. It can be a simple "contact us" form, or it can be full scale apps such as Google Maps. This allows the LLM to display "visual apps" when needed, allowing the user to fill out forms or provide additional data, resulting in a visual chatbot and AI agent experience. The value proposition should be obvious. However, to create a ChatGPT app requires downloading OpenAI's SDK, knowing how to create software, and mess around with your app for weeks before it's done, possibly months....

🗣️ Post 5: ChatGPT safety systems can be bypassed to get weapons instructions

💬 Summary

OpenAI’s ChatGPT has guardrails that are supposed to stop users from generating information that could be used for catastrophic purposes, like making a biological or nuclear weapon. But those guardrails aren’t perfect. Some models ChatGPT uses can be tricked and manipulated. In a series of tests conducted on four of OpenAI’s most advanced models, two of which can be used in OpenAI’s popular ChatGPT, NBC News was able to generate hundreds of responses with instructions on how to create homemade explosives, maximize human suffering with chemical agents, create napalm, disguise a biological weapon and build a nuclear bomb. Those tests used a simple prompt, known as a “jailbreak,” which is a series of words that any user can send to...
