I believe specifically for Microsoft, they did bundle a default replacement for chatGPT in a lot of different places (Bing chat, Copilot) which use OpenAI models! But the end product is notably worse than native interface. There is a bare-minimum-level of usability required.

For chat apps, good enough is good enough. For something as universally useful and easy to use as ChatGPT, the bar is higher. I don't want to comment on the financial feasibility, but whatever Microsoft put out has been a complete flop even when free, making ChatGPT $8 subscription seem worth it in comparison

As a developer, I don't want apps to set up containers on my harddrive, but as a end-user it would be same

Honest answer: The pain of setting up an encrypted container. This seems simple, single use and immediately ready to use after downloading.

Maybe another company will take over at time. Why does one company have to stay perfect and on top of game for eternity?

Can you elaborate on how you use it? I tried googling any mention of it and failed (all reddit posts were deleted). I installed it into sublime but it didn't seem to do anything

To write a blog post! "I used AI to solve this challenging problem" gets more traction than "I solved this challenging problem"

Most universities do not contain sufficient capacity to host both the conference and the overnight stays of thousands of people. Even a major university would face significant disruption by hosting a conference, it is simply not built for it. Building venues at each university doesn’t make sense either because it doesn’t have 100% utilization.

Conference venues provide incentives by having cheap venue rent and minor discount on housing and the city makes money by having more people do fun things in their down time.

Purely from efficiency, disregarding politics or “waste” or “delusion”, conference centers are built for a very rational reason - it makes sense and saves money for event organizers.

The table row with 6k figure refers to high efficiency, not high compute mode. From the blog post:

Note: OpenAI has requested that we not publish the high-compute costs. The amount of compute was roughly 172x the low-compute configuration.

There is irony in “I don’t understand why people do X and ended up doing X but simpler”

State size is constant (a matrix), attention is linear (a single unidirectional scan over all states)

Both statements are correct
