the 'just use zapier' advice breaks the second the workflow changes between runs

every time someone here asks for automation the answer is zapier or make or chatgpt's new actions. I've leaned on zapier plenty and it's genuinely great, but only for the workflows i can spell out ahead of time. trigger, filter, action, done. The stuff that actually eats my week isn't like that. closing one deal pulls from a different mix of gmail threads, calendar, slack, and the crm every time, so a fixed zap can't reason about which pieces matter today. i'm not pre-building every branch for...

And over time I've started noticing patterns in what I bring to it that I wouldn't have seen otherwise. Like there's a category of problem I apparently bring there first, before I've said it out loud to anyone. I didn't realize I did that until I caught myself doing it consistently. Same with certain kinds of decisions - there's a version I...

AI companies should be obligated to give you a fully transparent way to verify the consistency of the models you have access to

AI companies should be obligated to give you a way to verify the model is not downgraded compared to when you subscribed AND guarantee your access to the exact same models for 1 month every time you pay Making people think they’ll have access to something by boosting performance for short times, and then once they paid, replacing it with something inferior is a blatant scam.

How difficult would it be to recreate GPT-4

Back in '24, there was a story about GPT-2 being run on excel https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2024/03/once-too-scary-to-release-gpt-2-gets-squeezed-into-an-excel-spreadsheet/ How hard/$/time would it be to recreate GPT-4 (or equivalent)? GPT-4 was released in '23, since then there have been more/better chips, etc. Is this something a competent S&P500 company could do on its own?
