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.

Quite right tbh.
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.
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.
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'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.
i agree - it shows a remarkable lack of creativity that we're still stuck with a fairly subpar UX for interacting with these tools
Its easy to dismiss it but what would you do instead?
What if they make 2 daily calls, that would surely improve the velocity by 2 times!
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
