This may not be what you want, but I was not aware until recently that OpenAI offers an API to fine tune GPT-3/4 on your own data: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/fine-tuning
They charge your for training and for usage of your custom model, so it may or may not be economical for your use case.

Yes, in fact OpenAI offers an API for this right now: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/fine-tuning
It *appears* from the terminology that they are using that they are actually performing training on top of their model with your data (which you supply in json). They talk about learning rate and epochs, etc. as params, however I have not seen a real doumentation of what they are doing.

Adjectives are descriptive words that can combine in numerous and ambiguous ways. "brick brown" could be interpreted as a color description and not actually implying brick as a material at all. A lot of the ordering we have internalized is probably about disambiguation.

Interesting. I did not realize that the coefficient of friction for diamond is actually lower than oil. That's wild.

That looks very interesting... Although there's no reason it would need to be a subscription service. (I guess they are leaning into the "on call help" aspect). I'd also be concerned that the photo app they are showing is full screen... which means that they have to remember a gesture to get out of that... Overall looks very much like what I'm thinking though... thanks.

The old adage that making a device easier to use and accessible is equivalent to just making it better for everyone does not apply at a certain extreme of age. We have to make technology specifically for old people. I have several elderly relatives and just went through this trying to buy a new phone for them recently... We tried getting them to use an iPhone a few years ago - spent weeks practicing with them, but it's too hard. They don't have the fine motor skills, vision, and memory anymore... They get "lost" in the hierarchy. I ended up buying the simplest landline phone with an answering machine that I could find... and even that is *way* too complicated... It has so many features that they don't need and so many stupid useless buttons...
What I'd really like is a combination of some simple physical controls like an old-school cradle phone with one large "answering machine" button... and then a large format touch tablet locked into a sort of kiosk mode with no hierarchy... just "video call this person" or "look at pictures",etc... the ability to push stuff to it... a stand that charges wirelessly... and it reminds you to put it back on the stand after a while...
I am considering just building these things myself... If anyone is aware of a project working on this kind of thing already please let me know.
EDIT: I should note that getting a voice assistant (e.g. Alexa) was helpful but doesn't solve all of the problems.

The pricing page lists GPT-4. I think it was just added in the past day or two. (I have not confirmed that you can actually access it though)
EDIT: When I query the list of models through their API I still do not see GPT4, so maybe it's not actually available yet... or maybe I'm querying the wrong thing.
