No, I'm in Croatia. Just tried again and it's working https://chatgpt.com/share/67e3d18a-75e0-8011-ba67-fdcd13aa7f...

Asking it to draw the Balkans map in Tolkien style, this is actually really impressive, geography is more or less completely correct, borders and country locations are wrong, but it feels like something I could get it to fix.

Yeah, I'm using it and I agree it will probably become a lot better, but I don't think we're really close to a point where AI itself will be able to just write an app that has 100s of prompts that interact with one other. Even if it does, you'll probably be able to get it running better by manually optimizing a bunch of stuff (when I say manually, I'm also including iterating over a prompt in a chat with LLM).

It's capable of creating CRUD apps from scratch more or less by itself, and I can see how in this area we soon might get to a point where you can get your own clone of a lot of apps up and running in 30 minutes.

But I imagine a lot of future value we might see created will come from:

1) specialized prompts - looks simple but I don't think it is, especially if you have 100s of them in your application and you have complex logic on how they interact between each other, you're using different models for different parts of your application based on their strengths, etc

2) access to structured data you can connect your agents to

3) network effects - app that is mostly used gets better just by using the usage data (the article did talk about network effects)

I don't think it's really easy to replicate these 3 factors. The article is also mentioning some of this, I'm not really arguing with that, just pointing out that I don't think it will be that simple to c/p full applications.

> Imagine it becomes truly trivial to copy cat another product — something as simple as, “hey AI, build me an app that does what productxyz.com does, and host it at productabc.com!” In the past, a new product might have taken a few months to copy, and enjoyed a bit of time to build its lead. But soon, perhaps it will be fast-followed nearly instantly. How will products hold onto their users?

It's actually not that easy to copy/paste AI agents, prompts take quite a lot of tweaking and it's a rather slow and manual process because it's not that easy to verify that they're working for all the possible inputs. This gets even more complicated when you get a number of agents in the same application and they need to interact with each other.

Data is getting scraped, models are being built, nobody is really going to stop that now.

You may wish it wasn't like that (not you, but all of us), but there's no way China or USA block their companies in development of key technology like this, and I think we (EU countries) should act in the same way.

Even without the problem of insufficient financing, you probably need to bend some rules to be at the top of LLM game (not just how you collect the training data, we all sort of forgot that Altman was kicked out of OpenAI because the board thought he was prioritizing features over security).

With all the regulations and paperwork around EU projects, I can't really see them competing against private sector.

> They can use the same frontier level open source model as everyone else, and meanwhile, they can stay on top of harmful uses like social or credit scoring.

We are dependent on models created by USA and Chinese companies for access to the technology that seems to be the next internet - while the entire world is accelerating hard towards protectionism and tariff wars.

How much data from o1 would DeepSeek actually need to actually make any improvements with it? I also assume they'd have to ask a very specific pattern of questions, is this even possible without OpenAI figuring out what's going on

It's quite unlikely that OpenAI didn't break any TOS with all the data they used for training their models. Not just OpenAI but all companies that are developing LLMs.

IMO, it would look bad for OpenAI to push strongly with this story, it would look like they're losing the technological edge and are now looking for other ways to make sure they remain on top.
