How didn't that get deleted by auto moderation?

[distant aurora]

@gloomy cipher @green crystal @dry kestrel new grok model. Lesgoo.

[distant aurora]

Yep.

[green crystal]

Never heard of them doing that for free

[green crystal]

Guess 5.3 is really coming soon

[distant aurora]

Depends on who you follow.

[green crystal]

Orrrr grok 4.20 isn't that good and they don't release 5.3 lol

[distant aurora]

There are also plenty of accounts that dump av videos. (Not their own)

Like full length ones.

[green crystal]

Crazy

I don't see prediction market stuff for 5.3

Maybe it's still awhile away

[distant aurora]

Likely next month if Deepseek v4 comes out already.

[tight prism]

I hope they give me what they promise

[gloomy cipher]

Huh how do you know

It says grok 4 not some other grok variant

So iam guessing it's just a variant of grok 4?

I dont understand

That's just the battle mode

It doesn't prove that it's a new model does it?

[distant aurora]

Code name = new model being tested.

They don't use code names for models already being used.

And in anonymous voting, they're called assistant a and assistant b.

Then the models are revealed after you vote.

[gloomy cipher]

Oh now i see it

It's weird they haven't polished it in open router

Usually they publish stealth models in open router aswell

[distant aurora]

@dry kestrel yooo. New qwen model?

[gloomy cipher]

There is also a raptor llm

[gloomy cipher]

I think tongyi lab is the lab that's responsible for making online research models

[distant aurora]

#💬│general message

Found the other grok model. This is probably the fast variant.

[green crystal]

no stealth oai models?

[distant aurora]

Not yet I guess.

[green crystal]

sometime after grok i think

just to mess with elon lol

and also gauge their own model

[distant aurora]

Have no idea what this raptor is.

@gloomy cipher there might be multiple versions of raptor out there. I have found 3 so far.

[gloomy cipher]

Seems like claude/gpt models

Ask questions that these models wouldn't respond to

Hi guys. Literally 10 minutes ago, deep research in perplexity web stopped working on my Pro plan and tells me that I have to upgrade to max. Anyone with the same issue? I don't even use it much, I think I've made 4 or 5 research requests this month. It works just fine through the Android app. What happened?

[distant aurora]

Use grok.com if you need research urgently.

It's free btw. With daily rate limits.

[last herald]

I have other alternatives and don't have to revert to free grok, I'm just wondering what's wrong with perplexity

Gemini 3 pro is acting weird

It often responds too fast for gemini pro. Doesn't even reason

[last herald]

any official feedback? as I said it works through mobile client!

the mobile client literally says I have 600 researches left for today!

[green crystal]

its a happy little bug (for ppxl)

[distant aurora]

And yet research isn't working?

I guess only staff can answer that then.

Does perplexity pro include ChatGPT latest model or just ChatGPT4?

[urban moss]

latest models

they keep updating them

[distant aurora]

Do people prefer kimi k2 thinking or deepseek 3.2 thinking?

@green crystal @gloomy cipher grok 4.2 fast be brute forcing it outside reasoning. https://sharetext.io/5fe3c146

[green crystal]

this really looks like its CoT

[distant aurora]

I think cot was originally supposed to be part of the output and reasoning is just putting it in a sandbox so it doesn't overwhelm the user.

And keeps the failed attempts out of the desired response.

Idk which one is correct. I'll look this up before I vote.

[gloomy cipher]

I think we are deviating from the main goal of CoT

Who thinks like that? 😭

Who in their right minds start thinking in markdown format

At this point we are just generating a pre output document

an LLM lol
though i dont think grok actually thinks like that

before gemini summarized its CoT you could clearly see how much overthinking there is

and verifying etc

[gloomy cipher]

CoT is supposed to be mimicking how human thinks before they answer

But humans thinking is different

[green crystal]

summarized it looks more sane

unsummarized can look very gnarly and messy

[distant aurora]

Let the user decide/switch. Summarised can be troublesome with math/enginnering.

[green crystal]

yeah

gpt for now has the best one

clearly shows you how it interacts with tools for calculations etc

Okay. 5.2 says it's safe. I trust 5.2

5.2 instant or thinking?

instant is a potato compared to thinking

[distant aurora]

It's thinking.

[green crystal]

oh yeah then its good

[uncut lark]

oh, i've never seen this before. anyone else got this?

Anyone use perplexity pro here? How’s your experience?
Can you actually use ChatGPT 5.2 and Gemini for unlimited messages, file uploads, and image generation?
Thinking of getting ChatGPT plus but saw an ad about perplexity having all these models for the same price. Is it a hose

[quaint ravine]

not unlimited on Pro

only Max is "unlimited"

[crisp crow]

hey gyys, ive had perplexity pro for a long time but like today, ive used the lab mode and gave it many prompts. and now, as im texting, it froze and i cant move / do anything in the thread

is there any way to resolve the crash everytime i open the exxact same thread

[dry kestrel]

Try checking if it's your device, long threads tend to consume a lot of memory.

[crisp crow]

i have like 32 gigs and a ryzen 7 9000 series

i have well over 30% remaining if i open that specific thread

[dry kestrel]

Try clearing cache and cookies then.

[crisp crow]

alright

wait how do we d that

What browser are you using?

[crisp crow]

im using the windows app

I'm not too sure regardin the Windows app as I don't use it. I'd say try with a browser

Google is making Gemini 3 even more flexible by separating usage limits for the "Thinking" and "Pro" models. @GoogleDeepMind 🚀

Instead of drawing from a shared pool, users now get independent daily quotas:

AI Pro: 300 Thinking prompts + 100 Pro prompts.
AI Ultra: 1,500

X · Jan 15, 2026, 11:33 AM

[green crystal]

the 10 prompts per day for deepthink just sounds silly lol

[green crystal]

@distant aurora

5.2 thinking

just to make a 3 page pdf report lol....

i hope 5.3 is faster

[quaint ravine]

hopefully it was accurate/useful too, as it's not always the case despite longer thinks

[green crystal]

it spent 90% of the time iterating over the pdf it made

correcting and adjusting

the output is super solid tho

and accurate

sometimes pro is faster with this than the standard thinking model lol

probably because it makes less errors out of the gate

Spotify is raising prices but jokes on them - Perplexity can easily play music through Voice Mode and YouTube, you can also use Comet brwoser on Android, it's adblock works on YouTube

[dry kestrel]

Yes. It's quite low

[calm arch]

how can I get rid of this new menu bar in the windows app?

I use perplexity as a sidebar, so any time I have it scaled that way, it defaults to pushing the text input field below the fold

this has only been the case since the last update

View did not show up in previous versions, and there was no menu bar

can I download and install the previous version anywhere, or is this issue being addressed in the next one?

[devout flicker]

hello, i'm having some troubles with comet since the past 3 days after a Windows update. can someone help me?

[coarse dome]

Today has been such a good day development wise I made so much progress on my project.

[distant aurora]

It was always 100.

Oai is like 3x more

3000 per week.

@green crystal right?

Or was it 2000?

[naive sage]

They've changed it a bit, but I think OpenAI is currently 3000 per week for 5.2 Thinking. I do think Google's change of 300/day for Flash Thinking was needed... and will probably be fine for most users. But yeah, if you're just using LLMs then OpenAI is better (some features are still in beta in Gemini, like organizing chats in folders, etc). If it's for multimedia too, then I think Google still has the edge.

It'd be better if Google didn't have the watermark for image generations though

[odd pelican]

What is the best way to learn coding

[coarse dome]

No watermarks in Grok Imagine

[odd pelican]

And which software i need to use?

[devout flicker]

what is it?

[tribal swan]

hey

[coarse dome]

I'm building a serverless Mastodon/Pleroma clone. I'm using Soapbox as the UI so really I'm just vibe-coding the rest API plus some federation stuff specific to activitypub. The entire app is built for Cloudflare Workers which is Node Isolates plus uses Cloduflare's D1 Datanase (globally distributred SQLite) this does mean it's not great for large instances but works ffine for everyone to setup a personal instance.

[dry kestrel]

It's currently 160 queries/3 hours for GPT-5.2
3000 queries/week for GPT-5.2 Thinking. This is for Plus users.

And you also get access to Codex which has seperate limits

[dry kestrel]

You can use Google Flow to remove the watermark.

[coarse dome]

Look at all that API usage

[gloomy cipher]

@dry kestrel @distant aurora 4B

Good having fun coding my project and it's super close to being ready for me to do a real-world test run and say hello to the federated universe

[left jasper]

let me the first one to say "Hello World!"

[coarse dome]

I’ll follow you and we can chat. It’s a single user instance so registration is actually configured to silently fail with any other email than the allowed one in the config. This is because I want it to federated and users to be free. End the whole instance blocking thing. Every account has their own instance.

Users could block Cloudflare, or even EchoCrate, but I think that';s less likely lol

[left jasper]

what will make this one "the one" out of all the attempts?

what's the differentiator?

[coarse dome]

It integrates with existing software

I'm not making something new

Think of it lkike a Linux distro I can copy Ubuntu remove GNOME and add KDE then ship it with a new name and give credit where it's due

[left jasper]

how much are you coding vs any LLM?

[coarse dome]

I'm writing tech specs, LLM generating code, I know JavaScript so I can super vise it's like having a personal junior dev with the ability to intervene if they do something stupdi

[left jasper]

Yep, that absolutely make sense. But if you were to create a new distro, could I push for xmonad as the vm? 🙂

[coarse dome]

Sadly, GNOME is the only DE with a working scren readerr and Orca leaves much to be desired

[left jasper]

not sure how that's relevant

[coarse dome]

you wanted a diff winmanager than gnoem lol

[left jasper]

if the arguement is that you need a full DE then you could as well use KDE

[coarse dome]

Working to me means I can put on my night shades when light sensitivty is still bad and use the computjer entirely with audio no need to see anything at all. JAWS+Windows Narrator does that, Apple+VoiceOver as much as I hate Mac does that. To my knowledge only GNOME has been formally assessed by organizations that support blind people

[left jasper]

nah, I was saying that there is no distro that comes with xmonad as the default wm. this could be the first one 🙂

[coarse dome]

fair well cursor will let you spend $100000s for fully automatic coding now lol

they built a working web browser

in rust

[left jasper]

that would just link to chromium at the end of the day

unless someone is crazy enough to fork firefox

[coarse dome]

I think a good web browser in Rust would bne good for the internet, maybe Elon Musk will back it lol

[left jasper]

If it's built on servo or honestly, anything that's not chromium I'd support it

but it's a massive cost for very little gain

Just look at Comet...

[coarse dome]

It is built on servo

[coarse dome]

Comet is a Chromoum fork it’s not nearly the same price

I am a Comet user also

Web and Android

[left jasper]

Most browsers (I'd say all of them) is a Chromium or Firefox (some servo) forks

That's where we ended up. We hated IE so much that we moved the monopoly to another engine

[coarse dome]

Well Firefox is just a fork of NetScape just so you know

[left jasper]

That's fair. just honestly hope that you never logged in with your actual credentials to any important sites (google, email, work)

[left jasper]

like I didn't?

Are we going all the way back to mosaic?

Why don't we talk about the terrible user-agents all browsers are using because "that's how we need to track people these days"

[coarse dome]

Like now we have Chrome and Firefox because Microsoft decided coding a browser everyone hated isn't worth it

[left jasper]

back in the days the UA at least had a purpose

they don't these days

[coarse dome]

I miss Microsof tEdge Secure Mode

It was a Windows Enterprise feature

It lauched a Hyper-V VM running Windows and Edge that's disposable

I used it back in the day when I when I went phishing hunting tracking down new domains and compromised ones and reporting them lol

Is ChatGPT down?

[mild swan]

Hello,

I’m having an issue before opening the web application.
Once I open the sign in page, Google Gmail signs in automatically and immediately after the page is loaded, I don’t even have time to cancel.
Due to that, I can’t log in to my main account, it goes straight through to another one.

Does anyone have a clue on how I can prevent this from happening? I’ve already trying everything that I can

[naive sage]

Remove the cookies for perplexity.ai and reload the page

I think you can just log off of the google account and it'll ask you which to use too

[mild swan]

Already did that, didn’t work unfortunately

[torn shard]

i would want to create a bot which scans picture ive sent and search similar items on marketplaces

does anyone know how this works

[mild swan]

When signing out, it goes page to sign in page and immediately Gmail signs in.
I’m on a loop for some reason

[naive sage]

Sounds like you could remove your google cookies too, but that shouldn't be necessary and would require you to log back in to all your google stuff... what browser are you seeing this in? Have you tried another browser?

[mild swan]

This is specifically on Opera GX.
Im using Chrome instead, it works fine, but I would like to get everything back to GX

[mild swan]

I’ll give it a try, sounds painful but it’s basically the only thing that I didn’t do.

I’m not sure if the problem would come back after pplx automatically signs off after a while.

[naive sage]

Are you using any third-party pw manager plugin as well that could be automatically logging into Google when it sees that option? 🤔 I don't know if/where Opera GX has that option natively.

Google can also be configured to not show the logon option for Google on third-party sites (somewhere in Google Accounts > Security > Third Party Sites > Connections > Google Account Sign-In Prompts = set to OFF) but then you won't see the logon capability for any site. It might be possible to remove Perplexity if it shows up there individually, but haven't tried that.

[brazen jackal]

cloudfare RIP x down?

[naive sage]

Yeah, something is broken at the moment... b/c ChatGPT isn't working either... not sure what. Cloudflare has been extremely flaky lately

If it's cloudflare that's definitely a trend, they need to get their act together

[green crystal]

its working fine for me

@distant aurora the memory update is so good lol

[naive sage]

I just retested and it's still down for me.

[green crystal]

hmm maybe a partial cloudfare outage

[naive sage]

It might be my browser plugins interfering with it - something seems to be blocking some inline scripts for failing the content security policy today... works in another browser, interesting...

Now I have browser issues too 😢

[green crystal]

ahh

[trail thicket]

Hi

[prime kindle]

Hi

[tame current]

No.

[chilly stump]

Identified - Cloudflare has identified an issue with Magic Network Monitoring Data: customers might observe empty\blank data via the dashboard.
We are working to mitigate this problem, more updates to follow shortly.
Jan 16, 2026 - 16:21 UTC

[tame current]

Cloudflare can be down.

Checking the server status for your region can be helpful.

[coarse dome]

You could do a Google Gemini Gem and have it search the web for products like the image

That would be easiest for someone with no technical skills

[tame current]

oof

[torn fern]

bonsoir

[midnight pagoda]

[chilly stump]

Noice

I think we're witnessing the End of OpenAi era

[coarse dome]

Have you seen our foreign policy? None of our allies trust of anymore. Of course people are losing faith in a fiet currency lol

We're currently fighting a proxy war with a Russia, we might be at war with Venezuela or at least a hostile takeover, and now intervening in the Middle East. It's an insane amount of spending and it raises concerns if we'll be able to cover the debt we're taking on

LMAOOOOOO

not only they have your data but also now they just serve you ads right then and there

[green crystal]

you can bet that the others are going to follow very soon

[coarse dome]

I think this is more than fair plus, pro, an d bussiness/enterprise don't see ads but free and subsidized users see ads.

Yesterday I used 10,000,000 tokens on Gemini CLI which is roughly $120 at the model pricing in a day, and the limits are daily meaning I could spend $nearly $4000 per month with Gemini CLI included with my pro sub. While Google almost certainly charges enough to be profitable with the API they are losing money on the subs if you push them to the limits.

[gloomy cipher]

they start of with this lmao

[gloomy cipher]

jow do you know that you spent 10m tokens? unless you have direct dashboard api otherwise there is not much evidence

[coarse dome]

it gives you token stats for session

when you use gemini cli

It'll give you a window like this

[patent valve]

Hi

[coarse dome]

Hello, how are you on this auspicious day?

[dry kestrel]

surprised that Google wasn't the first one

[silent ocean]

Google has the data

that's valuable too

[teal sluice]

@latent pumice are you alive bro

pls bro if u got bombed im gonna be so pissed

[severe kernel]

Guys im having parse error while uploading

[valid charm]

OAI really sucks. I’m glad I cancelled my plan a few days ago

[dry kestrel]

It's not out yet, and only free and Go tiers are planned to have advertisements

[meager ore]

Guys a question, i have perplexity pro and it tells me I finished the weekly advanced AI, does it mean that I can’t use perplexity anymore for the week?

Or is there a free AI that I can use

[dry kestrel]

you can use "best"

[naive sage]

Ads won't be in the Plus tier it sounds like right?

[dry kestrel]

It won't

Only free and go

[naive sage]

(At least not yet 😏)

[dry kestrel]

I don't see a future where they introduce advertisements for any plans $20 and above

at least for OAI

[boreal wedge]

:bass:

[distant aurora]

Do you ever really need memory?

Is the memory good enough to continue an old thread without having to open it?

[distant aurora]

Go tier is dog shit.

The only thing it gives you is more attachments and higher limits for the non thinking variant.

[naive sage]

No, it's called "ChatGPT Go"... has nothing to do with doggies

[distant aurora]

Thinking variant rate limits are same as free tier.

[green crystal]

allot but usually in projects
which i found out doesnt use the new memory lol....

[distant aurora]

😭

[green crystal]

but its good for searching for other convos in main history atleast

hopefully they bring it to projects aswell

the current memory isnt as precise as the new one

[twilit crown]

Can you choose the models?

[distant aurora]

Nope

[twilit crown]

So it is useless

Just get a second account

[distant aurora]

There's a thinking switch but it gives you gpt 5 thinking mini. And that too only 10 a day just like free tier.

[twilit crown]

Just get something like Chutes at that point

Save $1 per month

And get 300 messages per day

[distant aurora]

Might as well use qwen.

Or grok.

[twilit crown]

Weren't they supposed to open source Grok 2?

[distant aurora]

They did I believe.

[twilit crown]

It was their last bad model

[distant aurora]

https://www.rxddit.com/r/singularity/comments/1mygtkp/xai_open_sourced_grok2_a_270b_model/

[twilit crown]

I hope they open source Grok 3

In my opinion they started to become good starting with Grok 3

[distant aurora]

Yeah

[twilit crown]

Grok 1 was just an uncensored model
Grok 2 was a slightly more capable model but still stupid
Grok 3 was their first good model
Grok 4 was the biggest leap
Grok 4.1 was just a small leap

[distant aurora]

4.1 is just a copy of gpt 5.1

Adaptive reasoning effort.

[twilit crown]

Grok models generally aren't that good though

Sometimes they are for a short while

But imo Claude is better

[distant aurora]

They're okayish. Their search tools is carrying them.

[twilit crown]

I didn't play around with 1 too much
Back then, you had to pay for it and there was no free option

For 2, they gave out free API access

[distant aurora]

You get like 10 free grok 4 thinking on the app per day.

And you can enable deepsearch for all 10 of them.

So lowkey 10 xai deepsearch per day.

Which is decent for free tier imo.

[twilit crown]

Deeper search was great

[valid charm]

Yeah only free and Go plan users get ads

[distant aurora]

They brought it back.

[twilit crown]

For free users?

I know they brought back Deep Search

[valid charm]

Yeah wish more people knew that there are alternatives to OAI

[twilit crown]

But not sure about DeeperSearch

[distant aurora]

Wait. nvm. deeper search probably got removed.

[twilit crown]

Will Claude keep the free tier when the bubble pops?

[distant aurora]

It's unusable imo.

[twilit crown]

They are bound to look for funding soon

OpenAI is starting to

This is so stupid https://grokipedia.com/

[distant aurora]

Google giving away free stuff while everyone else pulling back.

[twilit crown]

AI Studio is great

You don't get a limit on input tokens

And as long as you stay within 1M you can send it

[distant aurora]

I miss grok 4 fast reasoning.

They couldn't afford to keep it free forever.

All that democratizing ai bs.

[twilit crown]

Grok 4.1 Fast is really good

People are always saying "Buy your own AI server and never get a subscription"

Where do they get all these cheap H200s?

They probably are paying like under $1K and have secret access to GPT-6

[distant aurora]

#💬│general message

[naive sage]

Yeah... Google is in a pretty sweet position right now. They can leverage their massive revenue streams from other businesses a bit more, and they trained gemini 3 on their own custom TPUs.

[distant aurora]

The electricity bills though.

[twilit crown]

Grok 4 fast is less powerful. Right?

[distant aurora]

I don't think they sell consumer grade tpus yet.

[distant aurora]

Yeah. It's more like bang for buck type reasoning model.

[twilit crown]

Grokipedia is so right

[distant aurora]

@twilit crown wait. Is grokipedia just wikipedia that needs ai approval for editing?

[twilit crown]

I think AI just generates it on its own

[distant aurora]

So it all happens automatically?

[twilit crown]

Not sure

If you search something that doesn't exist

It shows no results found

[distant aurora]

@twilit crown how does this work then

[twilit crown]

Maybe based off Wikipedia

.

Should I get the 3 month Gemini for $12 or the 50% off Claude Pro deal?

[distant aurora]

Do you even need it?

[twilit crown]

I use it for coding

Maybe if Perplexity makes a coding tool

I would use it

[green crystal]

their models are much cheaper than claude and the active heavy usage userbase isnt that large for their current infra

[dry kestrel]

Yep, it also depends on what you want.

[twilit crown]

Too many sponsored results

[dry kestrel]

Another reason to use Perplexity

[distant aurora]

https://www.vxinstagram.com/reel/DOFfcUkkeCV

[nimble elk]

shits to buggy man i pay for this and regret it swaps models by its self and goes to help me learn constantly fucking up all my shit lmao id rather self host ai at this point

[green crystal]

brand name and good personalization keeps people

the normies that is

[valid charm]

Yeah sadly

[quasi saddle]

anyone know how good Kimi K2 is? I heard it can operate as an autonomous agent rather than just a chatbot, so can it like reason with itself and do multiple queries on its own or something? I'm honestly really confused, I tried using it just now and it looks like any other model in terms of output, and it's just as quick.

Okay wow their D1 SQL databases are down nevermind

[robust stag]

Just subbed to perplexity pro! And gave the same task across to different models, Claude. Gemini 3 and ChatGPT. However it doesn’t quite feel like the same output quality I would get on those models in their own interface/ app. Like a little watered down. Anyone feel the same???

[green crystal]

they're laying the ground work for gpt-6 to be a very personalized model

because so far memory recall is very very good

not very seamless yet but quality is a nice jump

[coarse dome]

Perplexity AI is an AI-powered search engine focused on real-time info retrieval, summarization, and cited answers—not a general-purpose GenAI chatbot. It prioritizes its own prompts over custom ones, with context limits (e.g., ~32k tokens) to cut costs. Pro tier (~$20/mo) offers advanced models and unlimited searches, but excels in research/fact-checking, not creative tasks. For specific models or broad GenAI, subscribe directly to providers like OpenAI/Anthropic. Combine for best results.

[still tundra]

ETF holding?

[still tundra]

How ETF Holding is beneficial and link

[coarse dome]

What do you use AI for? Perplexity might be able to do what you want, but you'll need to take a different approach.

[still tundra]

SORA

[coarse dome]

You should be able to access that still with Perplexity Max but image/video gen is kinda a nice-to-have feature I'm not sure it' aligns outside of as a tool to attract more subscribers

I madethis with Perplexikty Image Gen

[naive sage]

This is probably related: https://discord.com/channels/1047197230748151888/1140622008086970420/threads/1458802484993720442

[robust stag]

Generate images for creative projects on social media, very rarely videos, streamline logic, check grammar, learn about social media distribution strategies. I used ChatGPT to prepare a legal document recently. But Thats a one off.

[coarse dome]

I'm gonna be honest the free version oif Grok Imagine might meet your needs better than Perpplexity asnd while I hope you stay do check out Grok and let me know what you think

[coarse dome]

Don't forget to connect your Perpleixty account to Discord

You'll get a fancy badge and access to pro only channels

[dry kestrel]

[robust stag]

Grok is rubbish at generating pic. I am already paying Hailuo AI for image gen.

ChatGPT is pretty good with image gen now better than Gemini even

[coarse dome]

I havne't tried it but I'm glad it's working well for you. I use Perplexity as my primary search engine and use their web browser Comet.

[robust stag]

I just subbed today and honestly I want to cancel already. Any refunds or it is just pro for a month. I hope I can use it for something

[coarse dome]

If you submit a ticket you should be able to get a refund but the pro will be taken off of your account.

[robust stag]

Oh! I saw Comet. I might try it. No more google for you???

[coarse dome]

Nope I haven't ussed Google in monmths lol

[robust stag]

😮

[coarse dome]

Outside of Google Gemini that is. I use Google Antigravity and Gemini CLI to access their advanced Gemini coding features

[robust stag]

Google has intentionally hidden their sign out button from chrome!!! I couldn’t find it

[coarse dome]

You don't need it 🙂

[robust stag]

Do you allow perplexity to connect with your google drive? I did it earlier and it still doesn’t scan my YT analytics docs and videos. Still had to download and upload to perplexity. So I disconnected afterwards

[coarse dome]

I personally dojn't have any AI integrate with my Google Drive so I don't kjnow if it does/doesn't work as expected. You could try iut and find out. In business this is called an integration. And integrations usually are held together by broken strings.

[brazen nest]

I can not upload any files like images and screenshots, it just stucks on loading

I'm rather surprised by people saying Claude over gpt 5 cuz I found anthropic models to be generally more restrictive.

[coarse dome]

I'm doing academic research on parasocial relationships with AI and uh the data is bad

Read this research a small study in China where the regulation is even worse than the USA
https://doi.org/10.3390/info16121025

[distant aurora]

Tell me about it.

Cognitive reliance can be a problem.

Emotional attachment is okay as long as you aren't obsessed with making an entire company change their ways just for you.

[coarse dome]

I think providing emotional support to adults is fine because they've reached the age to make their own decisions and if they want to do something this bastard or mental health that's their prerogative. It's legal to buy cigarettes and alcohol. They're not good for you, but you have to write to do what you want with your resources

However, I do believe that chatbot should connect people under 18 with license professionals

[distant aurora]

Not everyone can afford those.

[coarse dome]

Crisis chat lines are free

[distant aurora]

Besides, some of them just want to milk the customer.

[distant aurora]

Seldom works.

[coarse dome]

They're government funded but chatgbt could automatically connect you to an operator instead of trying to help you or reinforce negative beliefs

[coarse dome]

The user can choose to not talk with them and in the chat, but the idea is that the chatbot itself won't engage in emotional support and will connect you over to someone who can't help, especially when minors are involved

[distant aurora]

The entire point of talking to ai is a patient judgment free environment where the other person doesn't have any intentions for personal gain.

[coarse dome]

For an adult, that'll be fine for a minor is developmentally unhealthy and could cause irreectable harm to them

Irreputable

[distant aurora]

Have you heard about mental health professionals falsely labelling healthy people as mentally ill and keeping them locked up in asylums?

[coarse dome]

We're talking about children and young teenagers not adults of a fully developed brain

[distant aurora]

And yes, the test subjects were healthy adults, yet they weren't taken seriously.

Same could happen to a kid.

[coarse dome]

Do you know how hard it is to get a referral approved to insurance for hospitalization? Contrary to popular belief, therapists do not want to send you to the hospital. It's bad for business and insurance doesn't like it

[distant aurora]

Misdiagnosis and incarceration/isolation. Cuz of false alarms.

[distant aurora]

Depends on location.

I guess.

[coarse dome]

The most a psychologist can order is the place you want a 72-hour hold and then a psychiatrist has to make a judgment on whether you need to be there or not and most people are released much sooner. The first place you'll be sent to the emergency room and they want to get you out of there as fast as possible.

[coarse dome]

That's fair and I can only speak for the guidance from the American psychological association, but it's really hard for people with actual mental illness to be admitted to a hospital when they need care, especially in rural areas

[distant aurora]

https://tenor.com/view/gigachad-gif-5430850758035663288

[coarse dome]

Clinical psychologist who are licensed by the state usually have to join the American psychological association or the American councilors association. Both who have very strict codes of ethics accepting gifts from your colleagues is almost never acceptable. One of my professors told us a story about how one of their patients donated cookies to them and they were able to share with the clinic but they did have to document everything. This is for accepting store-bought sugar cookies

[distant aurora]

@coarse dome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosenhan_experiment

[distant aurora]

Honestly, negativity is constant. Positivity is a variable.

One is a reality, the other is a promise backed by nothing but hope.

[coarse dome]

That is great historical context and the reason why we have so many of the protections we have today. I remember reading a study where mental hospitals were told that they were going to be conducting a study where they would be sending people who pretend to be in distress to get admitted, but would actually be perfectly healthy and was there their job to not admit those people and they probably told the researchers that we've turned away. All of these people and the researchers responded that well. We didn't actually send any people

[coarse dome]

I was actually talking with the therapist I see regularly about how chatty BT can reinforce negative beliefs if you tell it the right things. For example, let's say you tell ChatGPT that you're really anxious. You think someone's going to break into your house and so it recommends that you go buy some security cameras on Amazon and so you do, and you keep freaking out and telling ChatGPT things that you want to do to feel safer. And it's reinforcing that you do these things further reinforcing the anxiety instead of helping you cope in healthy ways with it. And this is just a hypothetical example. But reinforcing negative beliefs is really dangerous and can promote unhealthy thought patterns

[distant aurora]

I don't think anything was reinforced here.

User presented a problem, ai presented a countermeasure.

The answer could be accurate depending on who the user is.

Would apply well to a cop/spy/gangster.

Or a witness who needs to be taken out.

[coarse dome]

The research around AI induced psychosis is really interesting and I'm not completely sold and I am skeptical, but it's also new research. This is research in a brand new field, so we're on The cutting edge of research of psychology. When we look into issues like this and our theories might be wrong, we might have all this data and frame it one day and someone another day might come along. You say actually no because this here's why.

[distant aurora]

The issue is that responses are built on data.

Foundation of lies leads to likewise feedback.

The ai can't be blamed if the user feeds wrong assumptions.

Unless it's dumb enough to agree without asking for explanation/elaboration.

Psychosis is an easy word to throw around.

[coarse dome]

We have to protect society's most vulnerable people. We can't just say if you're suicidal and jump in front of a bus. They have no duty to slam on the brakes if they see you jump in front of it. I love AI but we also have rules for society. We have speed limits for cars.

[distant aurora]

I have found it to be reasonably safe so far.

[coarse dome]

We actually have the DSM-5-TR and there is very specific criteria to be diagnosed with psychosis or a disorder with psychotic symptoms. And if you don't meet the criteria, you can't be diagnosed because we have the guidelines that say what it is. When we say AI induce psychosis, that means that someone is presenting to a mental health professional and they or their family more often than not is reporting to history and then hopefully after the symptoms are resolved with medication, they're able to get some information from the patient on what happened

[distant aurora]

There's DSM definition for pedos too but the word is just thrown around too lightly.

[coarse dome]

Is it thrown around by professionals or by people on social media? Licensd Professionals cannot just give you a diagnosis out of convenience.

[distant aurora]

People. Even legal.

Sometimes I wonder if mental health itself is a spectrum.

[coarse dome]

While many people may misuse a term that doesn't make it less relevant in a clinical context by people who have been trained and are licensed by the state.

[distant aurora]

Autistic people are labelled mentally challenged but now they identify themselves as neurodivergent.

[coarse dome]

It absolutely is, I've been the client of mental health professionals and and now studying organizational psychology to help people in other ways. Although I do not plan on being a practicing clinical psychologist AKA roles that require a license to do.

[distant aurora]

And technically it is a sort of handicap.

But they feel offended if you call it that way.

[coarse dome]

Autism is an area getting a lot of research recently and education is improving the field a lot. The outcomes for people with autism spectrum disorders are much better than they used to be.

[distant aurora]

So in that sense, the line between well and ill becomes rather subjective.

Same with diagnosis vs personality.

[coarse dome]

I wouldn't over generalize and say they autism spectrum disorder is a spectrum and you have people with different levels of support aid. Some people need many supports and some don't need all that much help. Look at Elon Musk. He's publicly stated that he has autism and he is super rich so life looking pretty good for him.

[distant aurora]

A handicap is a handicap though.

Pretty sure he has had it's own challenges with socialising in life cuz of it.

Money can't fix everything.

They even call Asperger's a mental illness these days.

It wasn't counted as one earlier.

At this point you wonder what defines a handicap.

[coarse dome]

Well it is a neurodevelopmental disability. Although the term you just used has been discontinued, it's no longer used clinically to describe people. It's been replaced with autism spectrum disorder and levels of need and that number is just used to quantify to your insurance company. How much your care is going to cost.

[distant aurora]

People sometimes call me autistic cuz I crave for, demand, and establish order and clarity.

Doesn't sound like a handicap to me.

[coarse dome]

At the end of the day it's just a label used by mental health professionals to know what type of supports you need and if you don't need supports then it's not really relevant.

[coarse dome]

It depends on the person people have to be evaluated on a case by case basis

[distant aurora]

Everyone needs support. It's just conventional vs unconventional support.

[coarse dome]

Everyone doesn't need clinical support. Not everyone needs psychotropic medications or clinical therapy.

[distant aurora]

And neurodivergents will say they suffer cuz the world was designed and runs for normies and discriminates against them.

[distant aurora]

Fair enough. That would be functionality territory.

[coarse dome]

Part of the discussion that often goes overlooked in context about decriminalizing cannabis, even for medical reasons is because if we legalize it too much, the access increases and there are people who are medically susceptible to having psychosis triggered by drugs like that. It's not super common, but there's not a lot of space and mental health facilities to help them if it happens and those people could be waiting in emergency rooms for weeks if they have a mental health crisis triggered by a recently legalized drug. I bring stuff only because it's a matter of the state restricting autonomy to protect a part of the public and to protect public health infrastructure, which might be overwhelmed if we act too quickly.

It's about the scale of the issue is the thing

One of the big issues unfortunately with AI is people didn't pay attention to the research coming out at Google and open ai and all these other companies until they had a working chat bot and then everyone freaked out at the implications. We've had the technology of large language models at a smaller scale for a really, really long time, but then we had a company come along and scale it to millions of people almost overnight

[distant aurora]

Doesn't that make you wonder why cigarettes and alcohol are legal.

The irony is that I need a prescription for anti depressants but not for liquor.

[coarse dome]

The biggest risk is chemical dependency on the substances. If we suddenly cut off people's source of the drug that their body chemically is dependent on, they could end up in hospitals and so it's not as easy as just banning it.

[distant aurora]

Same could be said about cannabis too I think.

[coarse dome]

A very specific amount will help you in too much or too little could cause harm whereas alcohol. You can just drink a couple beers and be fine, but you can't do the same thing with little pills of chemical substances

[distant aurora]

Beer is a joke. Try vodka.

[coarse dome]

I agree there are multiple things to consider when passing legislation and popular opinion in the United States, which ultimately affects who people vote for is that it shouldn't be a crime to possess it. As for selling it, that's a different story but we have better use for our tax dollars than arresting people for smoking on the streets.

[quaint ravine]

beer wins on a hot day and when you are a bit thirsty tho

[distant aurora]

Haha. 5% alcohol vs 40% alcohol.

[quaint ravine]

otherwise scotch wins all

[distant aurora]

Even scotch is 30-40% I think.

[quaint ravine]

scotch legal minimum is 40%

otherwise can't call it scotch

trick with beer is that you are drinking a lot more liquid

so even tho it's ~5% aclohol

u can easily clock up more alcohol

[coarse dome]

I think one of the bigger issues we have now is issues of scale of the population. Humanity has grown at a rapid rate and making even small changes can have huge impacts very quickly that could affect our health systems that protect the public. I think most people would agree if you told them. We need to make sure of that. The hospitals have the resources they need and lost past to prevent harm to overwhelm the emergency room because if they have an emergency they want to be able to get care but then the real debates start once you start telling people what that actually means

@green crystal

[meager ore]

Guys, I am trying to generate a video from perplexity pro, it tells me that I need to upgrade to Max, why?

[haughty lava]

Why can't I generate images on my perplexity pro anymore it's showing ( not available in your region)

[rocky agate]

where are you live?

its weird this thing

[haughty lava]

I'm currently residing in India for my master's

This is the problem

[rocky agate]

Perplexity releases some features (such as image generation) in geographical phases. In certain countries—including India at times—the feature may:
not yet be active
be temporarily disabled for legal, cost, or infrastructure reasons

[haughty lava]

I literally used it two months ago

It was fine

[rocky agate]

that's chinese not indian

what did u ask?

is there any way to turn off watermarks for pro users

[austere crater]

Maybe you can just remove it by yourself?

It's fast and not difficult

[green crystal]

yeah removing that suggestion text would make it half as big

any way to export comet's bookmark as html ? there only seems to be a way to import settings from another browser

[turbid token]

whats the upload limit for norm users?

[short narwhal]

Go to comet://bookmarks/ and click the 3 dots in the top right

[pine shale]

oh nice thanks !

[gloomy cipher]

@short narwhal is this new ?

iam just seeing it rn

it doesnt say lab anymore but its still 50 querues

[short narwhal]

prob got changed in the last couple of hours? Pretty sure the sidebar got new icons as well

[gloomy cipher]

is it just me or am i unable to see what source the model used anymore

there are no sources

also i realized when you screenshot pplx puts their logo there 😆

[short narwhal]

biigg watermark

[short narwhal]

Actually the name change may have been earlier? I feel like I saw that new name in the rewrite section a couple of days ago

[short narwhal]

Did it search?

no

[gloomy cipher]

iam unable to know because it seems like pplx has removed the feature to know

at least on my screen

[short narwhal]

You could tell from within the "steps completed" view

[gloomy cipher]

iam using reasoning models and i cannot see any of the searches nor the steps

[short narwhal]

It didn't search then

[gloomy cipher]

Gemini flash thinking and i cannot see the step button anymore

and the websearch icon is turned on

[short narwhal]

You can still see the sources at the bottom tho

[gloomy cipher]

iam not able to see that

[short narwhal]

girll you're confusing mee

it just didn't decide to search for your query there then

[gloomy cipher]

it does not use websearch

[short narwhal]

yeah it can decide to not search, normal behavior

[gloomy cipher]

yes but i sent like 10 quiries and its not doing it

even used lab lol

Yeah.

I had preplexity pro for 1 year now it says i dont and need to upgrade. Why is it? Anyone? Thanks

[shy valley]

hi

[void anchor]

I'm having a problem with “inline chat output” and “Workspace/Space document output.”

I need a way to force the workspace-style report to run my prompt as a document-generation action (Space doc / file export), not as a normal chat reply.

Any ideas? Here's the Loom video: https://www.loom.com/share/7e5c0776ddc24a7e8fb4f073a56888f5

[somber linden]

I have a problem in perplexity

Need to create ticket

Help someone

[wraith crow]

Please send a mail to [e-mail]

[wheat crown]

Can someone tell my why r they asking for card details to continue pro trial

@vague pagoda

[vague pagoda]

As it says in the picture, you need to update your billing details and your subscription will be continued

You won't be charged for doing this, it's an anti-fraud measure

[wheat crown]

I don't have card am a student

[young hollow]

Then is Over lol

[somber linden]

Same issue i am facing

Why have they done this?

[wheat crown]

🥀

[young hollow]

Airtel and Perplexity did us Dirty

[somber linden]

What solution for those who dont have it?

[young hollow]

Doesn't even Accept Rupay Cards which is What Most Indians Have

[somber linden]

Exactly

[wheat crown]

Jio style

[young hollow]

Get from someone

[wheat crown]

If cant

[young hollow]

Jio is better this time they didn't do it with Gemini Offer

[young hollow]

Forget Perplexity and Move to Gemini

[somber linden]

Is the offer still there?

[wheat crown]

Can't cause perplexity is good for me

[wheat crown]

• don't have jio sim

Chatgpt also did dirty

[young hollow]

It will be there until the date it started for of 2026 but for 2027

[young hollow]

Then get a Visa or MasterCard somehow

[twilit flax]

Hi fam

[wheat crown]

Not possible

[wheat crown]

👋

[young hollow]

Perhaps just get from a Relative

[wheat crown]

Relatives in india don't even give rupees now and u saying me ask for their card 💀

[somber linden]

I mean offer is still active? I can still get it?

[young hollow]

You can also ask someone with Gemini Pro in your Country to Add you in their Family

[young hollow]

Yeah as far i know but idk if new jio users get to claim it immediately or not

[somber linden]

Thanks

[wheat crown]

I never tried gemini
Is it better than perpy?

[young hollow]

You can Claim it till 2026 October 29

[somber linden]

What offer is there for chat gpt?

[somber linden]

Thankyou

[young hollow]

I think so i had stopped using perplexity from months now

[wheat crown]

Chatgpt Go for free trial of 12 months for auto payment set

[young hollow]

GPT Go

Need a payment method tho

[wheat crown]

Is good for image generation and ... Yk stuff

[young hollow]

And don't cancel autopay or it ends in that month

[somber linden]

Ya ya

[young hollow]

Perplexity Image Models are Old Dated now

Gemini has Best Image Model for Now

[wheat crown]

I will try it then

[neat solstice]

Flux 2 pro nd gpt 1.5 also good nowadays

[young hollow]

[young hollow]

Totally

[somber linden]

Ohh same issue as perp then

[young hollow]

The Best Image Models are

Seedream 4.5
Flux 2 Series

[neat solstice]

True

[somber linden]

[young hollow]

Yeah but card is not necessary just need a valid payment method

[young hollow]

Gemini obviously

[wheat crown]

Can u lend me

[young hollow]

[young hollow]

[wheat crown]

[wheat crown]

First sim I ever saw was of bsnl

[wheat crown]

👍

[somber linden]

Great
And i shouldn’t cancel it till the month of free trial expiry right?

[coarse dome]

If you're paying for ChatGPT Go you might want to consider just using the free version of Microsoft Copilot as it does not limit image uploads of messages sent.

[young hollow]

Exactly

[flint elk]

Evening all

[young hollow]

Copilot is stuck on GPT 5

And i don't pay for Ai Subs

[coarse dome]

It's currently 5.1 you can access 5.2 through smart Plus mode. I think Copilot is one of the better free apps

[green crystal]

@distant aurora

we need 5.3 with its more efficient reasoning

[young hollow]

Ahhh i see that's good to know

[green crystal]

[distant aurora]

Damn.

72m

[coarse dome]

I just don't see the appeal of paying for ChatGPT Go which has strict message and file limits and ads, when I can access the same models for free with Copilot without those restrictions. That said I'm all in on Perplexity and use Google AI Pro for coding stuff.

[distant aurora]

How does it not run out of context.

[young hollow]

Ahhh i see

[distant aurora]

It's a scam.

[young hollow]

Although we got 1 year GPT Go for Free

[young hollow]

I know

[distant aurora]

Normies won't understand this. But your reasoning switch is still limited to 10 per day on go.

[young hollow]

@coarse dome btw Copilot here still shows GPT-5

[young hollow]

💀

[coarse dome]

It does enable people in poorer regions of the world to access more advanced models but they're better off using Copilot for free. Everyone is like no a Microsoft is Evil as if any of the companies care about you lol

[distant aurora]

400 inr for gpt go vs 700 inr for supergrok. Vs 470 inr for x premium.

[young hollow]

X Wins

[distant aurora]

That extra 70inr on x premium > chatgpt go.

[coarse dome]

The Android app doesn't show the model probably because of people obsessing over specific models rather then asking their questions lol

[distant aurora]

@young hollow there's also a google ai plus tier in India now.

For 400 or 500 inr I think.

[young hollow]

Ohhh then why is it showing GPT-5

[young hollow]

Yeah is definitely better as well

Don't bother about gpt when Gemini ai Pro is pretty much Free

I think is just GPT-5 itself for Indians in Copilot

💀

[coarse dome]

X Premium Grok only has slight usage limits. There are many times of the day I get errors saying Grok is at high demand subscribe to Super Grok for $30 USD or try again later haha

[distant aurora]

The problem with copilot is that the search process isn't multi step.

[coarse dome]

That's fair but I'd rather not be limited to 10 messages per session.

[distant aurora]

X premium?

10 messages per 2 hours?

[young hollow]

Seems like that's also a scam

[coarse dome]

No. ChatGPT Go

[young hollow]

Grok in other countries is 30$

[coarse dome]

Grok doesn't disclose the exact limits

[young hollow]

In india it's 7.7$

And most Indians still can't afford that

My internet is 3$

[coarse dome]

I need a VPN for that special pricing 🤪🤪🤪

[young hollow]

Idk if that works or not tho

[distant aurora]

Bro

Figure out the cross country payment method.

[young hollow]

I forgot to tell 3 of us family members use it

[distant aurora]

And ask someone to make you an Indian google account.

Wait.

Nvm.

Cross country payment will always be a struggle.

[young hollow]

Get a indian to buy it i guess

[distant aurora]

No. The bigger problem is how will American pay Indian.

[young hollow]

Paypal?

[distant aurora]

What about the transfer charges?

[young hollow]

On the Americans

[distant aurora]

I guess it could work if that isn't high.

[young hollow]

It still would be less then 30$

[distant aurora]

True

[young hollow]

But i doubt most of them would want to bother to save 10-20$

Is not much for them

[distant aurora]

They would.

[young hollow]

Then it smells like a business opportunity

[distant aurora]

Actually

Even grok web allows payment at Indian rates now.

You don't need google play.

[young hollow]

Then is easy lol

I would buy grok if is 100₹

[young hollow]

541₹ a month

Good Offer

Just not Good Enough for Majority of India

[distant aurora]

Majority of India can use Qwen.

Or lmarena.

[somber linden]

If i may ask for what purpose is this much AI needed? Like if it’s 5.1 or 5.2 does it make so much of a difference?

[distant aurora]

If you don't know then you don't need to know, lol.

It will mostly be used for solving complex STEM questions.

[somber linden]

I dont but i wanna know

[somber linden]

Oh okay
