That ship has probably sailed. If Llama3 is performing on par with GPT-3.5, then there is no real benefit for companies to restrict access to slightly better proprietary models.

GPT-4 is “holy shit, this actually works, could be better but it’s so good I almost can’t believe it” while GPT-3.5 is “when it works it’s pretty great, just a pity it almost never does”.

So I would assume that three letter agencies would love to take something like GPT-4 and fine tune it based on all the data they have about existing terrorists.

I'm still dealing with hallucinations nearly every time I use it.
I get maybe one hallucination per twenty chats with gpt4.
I haven't tried more than a handful of queries, but I think I've gotten 100% rate of hallucination or generic useless response to specific question.
Can I try your question? Just curious.
It is very easy to find such questions. A very recent example is a thread about AIs not having a concept of correlation:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40751756

In that thread multiple people posted wrong answers from GPT-4o but assumed that the answers were correct and praised the AI.

This matches my experience that anything that deviates from an encyclopedia lookup or web search is very likely to be wrong.

I don't remember exactly, but they were broadly "How can I do $WEIRD_NICHE_THING with $GENERAL_FEATURE of gradle / some java library?"
Do you mean 3.5? While I still face issues with GPT 4, I can't even remember the last time it hallucinated. I'm not saying it can't. But, yeah, that's crazy that they're specifically targeting your IP address like that.
