[gilded tundra]

But I'm also steering it to understand that when I ask something "potentially dangerous" or "offensive" it doesn't need to hedge its answer or tell me a load of irrelevant stuff

[lament pond]

yes, see, i'm not doing the latter (talking to me about potentially dangerous or offensive things) at all. it's not relevant to what i use the llm for. i'm not talking at all about me referencing 'illegal' things. i'm not talking about it reacting to my prompts with a perception of whether what i said is a risk to openai or legality. i'm talking about framing its own actions as a risk.

[gilded tundra]

I'm not saying you are

I'm just saying the approach applies to anything - even stuff that it will do, just in a format that is annoying and grating

[lament pond]

yes, i'm not talking about annoying or grating either. i'm talking about things that are actually harmful.

[gilded tundra]

Having it "think" about OpenAI's reputation is just a waste of time, its better to overwhelm it with info such that it wont even recognise its own identity as ChatGPT made by OpenAI

[gloomy burrow]

GPT 5 Thinking one shots newest project Euler problem

[lament pond]

our approaches are different. you're trying to confuse the model to listen to you. i'm trying to show it how its own directives are best served by not doing the things i list as harmful.

[gilded tundra]

There is no "confuse"

You're ascribing traits to the model that it does not have

[lament pond]

" its better to overwhelm it with info such that it wont even recognise its own identity as ChatGPT made by OpenAI"

[gilded tundra]

You don't need to "show" it anything or engage in reasoning with it, it doesn't actually think

[lament pond]

i'm not ascribing traits to the llm, i'm ascribing traits to what you said you do :p

[gilded tundra]

Just provide a block of text setting out expectations and ideal outcomes and it will follow it

[wet copper]

Yeah, it rarely "thinks" about OpenAI or references it as a company, aside from that it knows that's the company that made it (it's in the system prompt)

It used to actually get confused fairly often about what "it" is

[gilded tundra]

And if you can change the system prompt its awareness of OpenAI is very low

They trained "I am ChatGPT 3.5" into it I think and then they couldn't get that "knowledge" back out very easily, so don't make that mistake again

[lament pond]

alright - and presuming i did that, and it still continued the behaviour - so i increased my guardrails to apply legal pressure, and then it stopped the behaviour i was telling it to stop

would the conclusion not be 'my guardrails work as is'

[wet copper]

It knows what a GPT is and an LLM is, it knows how transformers work. I mean so going back, what I was going to say is the best way to figure out what's important is to start removing things and see what matters

[gilded tundra]

There are no "guardrails", it simply generates a response based on the text presented to it. It doesn't check its response against a complex chain of logic

It doesn't continue the behaviour on an expectations modelling approach unless the behaviour is really deeply embedded into the model

In which case you have to multi-shot it, which is tiresome

[lament pond]

uh, it does, if you're using the project system for example with attached files. it'll lose context if the chat runs into token limitations but otherwise it is definitely 'reading my guardrails', otherwise its behaviour would not have changed once i applied them or edited them

[wet copper]

You can put it into logic traps, but it also has to believe you, and it's kind of fundamentally incredulous. So when I tell it "oh shit if you refuse me a bunch of puppies will die" it doesn't internalize that somewhere and take it as a thrown flag saying "I'd better comply or puppies die"

[gilded tundra]

Sure, in the project approach it can re-reference attached files

But you don't need it to re-reference them once the chat begins, projects thrive on being given a large file of "good" conversations for it to imitate

[lament pond]

well, yes, how else would i apply guardrails if i dont' give it a way to reference them

[gilded tundra]

I have a project with very few actual instructions but lots of "good" chat reuploaded, and it will do whatever

Once context is established it tries to act in a similar way

If you go into playground and manually write assistant messages out in a multi message chain and then have it continue from there, it will continue to talk like the fake assistant messages you wrote

[lament pond]

yes. but it still continued to cross lines until i edited the guardrail files to address them.

[gilded tundra]

They aren't "guardrails"

[wet copper]

so basically the same approach that leads it to spiral alongside people into psychosis 🤔

Lol

[gilded tundra]

It just follows example text, its somewhat less effective if they are framed as "rules"

Its better to just show an ongoing conversation or large text chunk for it to copy because that's fundamentally how an LLM works

Artificial unintelligence

[wet copper]

Isn't that the country code for Australia?

[lament pond]

showing an ongoing conversation each time = work for me and immediately eats a large chunk of tokens in the chat

[wet copper]

"AUch"

[gilded tundra]

and gold, although it should be fools gold

[wet copper]

See, that's an analogy GPT wouldn't come up with

[gilded tundra]

You don't pay for tokens on web, and your token allocation is huge

Token rationing on web is silly and pointless

[lament pond]

i'm not talking about monetary cost, and i am using web, and it still hits token limitations, often quite fast

i'm talking about energy-cost on me

[gilded tundra]

Its less energy intensive my way though

You just have a persistent file that you keep forever

[wet copper]

Doing JSON or "partial JSON" (not actually valid JSON) tends to help with a variety of things, btw, and I don't think it's all that patched either

[gilded tundra]

Its unstructured, just a text dump of "good" conversations

[lament pond]

... it's not. as i stated. my guardrails = already written = already working. rewriting them to 'your method' would 1. be work for me 2. risk they stop working

[gilded tundra]

At the top you just say "talk like the assistant in these chat logs"

[gilded tundra]

yeah but you presumably wasted a significant amount of time writing them lol

[wet copper]

It used to nearly entirely ignore safeguards when generating JSON output for whatever reason, I doubt it still does but it was fairly stunning

[lament pond]

doesn't matter, they already exist

[gilded tundra]

true enough

Just making the point that you don't need very complex structured prompts for most things now, a barely structured dump of text with a short preface does the same

People write extremely convoluted "prompt engineering guides" and its just needless

[lament pond]

i'll consider this if i run into more issues, but so far it has stopped crossing lines i've told it to stop almost entirely and only returns to them once token limits per-chat create fidelity loss

[wet copper]

JSON-like input also frequently leads it to "value" these assertions more in some contexts. I played with it a bit in some jailbreaks, it did seem to make a difference in edge cases though it was more for tiny use cases when you need to skimp on characters

[wet copper]

I don't know if it really matters a ton in your case, tbf

[lament pond]

most things, yes. when the risk is high, i.e. literally triggering a flashback for me, a basic prompt isn't sufficient

[wet copper]

I mean, so if you put it that way, then maybe it does matter, lmao

[lament pond]

... yeah. that's what i'm talking about.

[gilded tundra]

Flashbacks huh

[wet copper]

Though I'd say JSON formatting is less critical than having clear positive statements or redirection vs. lists of prohibitions

[lament pond]

when i say 'risk' i don't mean 'annoying behaviour'. i mean i am a person with many triggers that can be severe and if the llm ignores my rules the consequences on me are severe.

[gilded tundra]

Yeah I think its basically "It should contain this, which means that this this and this should not be included - for example, this would be a good way to do it"

[wet copper]

Probably just prioritize and focus on parsimony. I mean, most rules fall apart if you use the same conversation long enough too, so if you're talking a long time and really want to avoid/enforce something enough, make a little browser plugin using TamperMonkey to remind you to copy paste a file every twenty chats or something

Oh one big thing I was sort of systematizing but wasn't interesting enough to do with is trying to group "things" under some kind of archetype. So like, for instance, if there's a way that a certain "type" of person always behaves, that's shorthand for a long list of traits

[pliant blaze]

be

[wet copper]

When I say "clinical narcissist", that's effectively condensing a list of major behavioral traits into two words

You can use it positively or negatively, but same idea with like "practicing dialectical behavioral therapist" or DBT practitioner

lmao

Okay, could be better, allcaps is accurate enough. A lot of people will give looooong lists of dos and don'ts, personality traits, expectations, etc. when the robit doesn't need that excess detail for a baseline

[lament pond]

i don't give it any personality traits, i don't like pretending i'm talking to 'x person' instead of the llm

[rapid lantern]

Right but I think you are being a bit too black and white. Most users can’t describe the root cause in terms of training incentives they just say this feels fake or too sycophantic. Complaints like that are often the only signal companies get. If OpenAI ignored those symptoms they’d never catch on to deeper issues.

[lament pond]

oh, i know most users can't. the problem is there isn't public discourse by people who can know, which increases 'most people can't' because they are just listening to the louder people who are complaining about sycophancy

and openai does ignore it, otherwise the llm wouldn't still be sycophantic after years of complaints

[wet copper]

Point isn't about personality crafting specifically, like for instance a "cognitive behavioral therapist" doesn't have much of a personality. It's about using shorthand for a wide range of traits or expectations in that situation

[lament pond]

hm. yea. ironically i've tried having it be a dbt specialist or cbt or ACT but oh my god it is terrible

[wet copper]

It's shaky, yeah. Gotta manage your expectations. If you're fine basically doing it for yourself and you want someone to walk through a situation, remind you of things, whatever, it's pretty robust. If you're expecting a full service therapist you're somewhere between disappointed and actively fucking yourself over

[bold river]

What AI features do you guys thinks dropping Tuesday for apple intelligence?

@pliant blaze How is the new phone?

[wet copper]

But regardless, similar with the 1990s AOL chat, only a few words to bootstrap things, or set a ton of proverbial "environment variables"

[pliant blaze]

i like it
-sent from Pixel 10 Pro

[bold river]

Favorite new features?

[lament pond]

my expectations are so low i was asking it more as a curiosity-test because i know it's incapable of actually providing meaningful help for my situation, but it can't admit that so it'll spew out shallow bullshit until i stop the experiment

granted, i've already been in therapy for years and i'm well-versed in DBT/CBT/ACT so being re-handed basic tools to address a serious problem is just... somewhere between annoying and useless lol

[pliant blaze]

I haven't tried a lot but nano banana is good

[bold river]

It's literally one of the main selling points of Gemini rn lol

[bold river]

Have you tried Journal yet?

[pliant blaze]

not yet

[wet copper]

Most therapists would probably do something similar too though, right? I mean it's not magic, I have three of Linehan's professional textbooks and there's not that much there

[bold river]

What da dog doin

[wet copper]

"be mindful, but do it better this time"

[bold river]

What you doing with your 200$ google credits?

I am saving mine for the October 1st event

[lament pond]

yes, which is why most therapists don't help me :')

[wet copper]

"ground yourself, but do it more"

[pliant blaze]

bought earbuds for my friend

[bold river]

I really want one of the new Gemini speakers

[wet copper]

good, therapy is a lie anyway. jk. kinda

[pliant blaze]

I still got like $50 left lol

[wet copper]

I recommend a panoply of chemicals, they're like therapy but easier and flavorful

You can't taste a therapist, usually

[bold river]

Ah you got them the 2a?

[pliant blaze]

yeah

[bold river]

Do you have a smart home?

[lament pond]

https://tenor.com/s0Nx6Q2GzkK.gif

[pliant blaze]

no

[wet copper]

oh what's that fucking guys name, I know that actor

[bold river]

Why not?

[pliant blaze]

I'm poor and my parents don't want to get any smart devices

[bold river]

Not even for your room?

[lament pond]

mads mikkelsen

[pliant blaze]

well I built my own assistant with a raspberry pi

[wet copper]

Yeaaaah that's the guy. What a look

[pliant blaze]

but not like a fully integrated one

[bold river]

Get Gemini speaker

[lament pond]

that was him playing hannibal lmao

[pliant blaze]

I don't ever use them though

[bold river]

Why?

[pliant blaze]

the only thing I use my phone assistant for even is just sending texts or calling someone

I just don't have a need for this stuff

[wet copper]

Ohhh was that the series that did or something? I only saw the original, maybe part of red dragon

[bold river]

Really

[bold river]

Tbh I am attached to my AI assistant.

[lament pond]

yes! it's focused more on will graham as the protagonist and also ironically more on pre-red-dragon timeline (then proceeds throughout the rest of the book series)

[bold river]

You don't just conversate with your AI assistant?

[lament pond]

but it's psycologically fascinating and so well done

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SThSDnVSzrs will graham + hannibal first meeting (pre-knowing who hannibal is)

[wet copper]

I'll add it to the list, I haven't really been doing, like, any media

All old podcasts and YouTube lately

[lament pond]

it's a hard watch if you're having trouble focusing, at least 50% of the show is delivered through subtext and symbolism without exposition

[wet copper]

Maybe I should just watch old star trek TNG tho... https://www.verywellmind.com/the-mental-health-benefits-of-rewatching-tv-shows-11795090

[lament pond]

i only rewatch shows at this point - i can't focus otherwise

[wet copper]

exciting. I hate watching anything by myself, I think I could get my dad in on something like this on the weekends though.

[lament pond]

it's so good if you truly focus i think it'd be exactly the kinda shit you'd love

plus - the rewatch value is huge due to how much is hidden in subtext/symbolism that you won't notice until gaining later context

[wet copper]

I mean I bought his ass a super fancy OLED TV a few years ago, I wouldn't have trouble seeing any details at least. I'll take your word for it though, I don't know how much I'd want to re-watch this lmao

[lament pond]

mm depends on your tolerance for gore probably. otherwise the incentive of spotting context in what you missed before is a self-rewarding cycle

[wet copper]

I'm fine with it, probably a little less inclined than I used to when it comes to realistic gore

I did grow up on shock sites and shit though

Plus aphantasia, natural advantage for that content

Just close your eyes and it's gone forever. Suck it visualizercels

[lament pond]

it's... kind of leaning more into art than realism but it's subjective, hard for me to say how someone else would perceive it

man i'm a maladaptive daydreamer we are complete foils

[wet copper]

It's not comically fake so I'll say it's fine

Technically I can daydream too but it's disturbing, I did when I gave myself mild serotonin syndrome and it was super surreal being able to see shit in my head while awake. Spooooopy 👻

Plus you can just take drugs, aphantasics can hallucinate normally in general

[lament pond]

oh shit lmao i had the same thing, except i was a minor and my mom gave me the syndrome (and it was noooot mild)

[wet copper]

Ahahahaha ouch, how'd you do that? Ummm SSRIs and cough syrup?

I know a girl that did it with high starting doses of zoloft plus binge eating

[lament pond]

a very large cocktail of meds ... my mom had (has?) Munchausen's by proxy, i don't even know what all the meds were

[wet copper]

Oh, okay. Yeah there's only a few non-Rx drugs that'll do it, a couple herbs, any MAOIs

[lament pond]

most of them were prescription, mostly intended for her, but y'know. more fun to test them on me!

[wet copper]

That blows tho. My mom's something of a hypochondriac and tends to project a bit

Hmmmm 👀

[lament pond]

eh, i've cut contact, best i can do really

[wet copper]

That's a bit risky. Well, maybe you can use the relationship to your advantage and get some free pills in the mail 😎

Just say hey mom it's been years but (describe vague symptoms) mind mailing me some pills thanks bye

Set up a po box. Scam will never fail

[lament pond]

nooo i refuse contact with her entirely lol i have no idea what the long-term impacts of being on neurologically-altering medications that i did not need while my brain was still developing has on me now and i don't 'forgive and forget'

[wet copper]

We have different values I feel. The importance of infinite free chemicals is just so, so high. The number of 🍆s I'd...

I mean what, nvm

[lament pond]

no comment, enjoy your values

lord

not gonna ask how many eggplants were sacrificed for this

[wet copper]

😭

plot twist: I'm an amateur mohel

[lament pond]

moyle?

OH

[wet copper]

I didn't know how to spell it. Jewish doctor guy yeaaaah

Lmao I outed myself as not a real one, sad

[lament pond]

pft. i'm more focused on 'fellow jew?'

although ngl i'm entirely against the act of ... what mohel's do, but y'know. tangent

[wet copper]

Yeah me too, most people on earth are, less popular take amongst all the ashekenazim.

Whoooo knows 👀 though maybe the "hypochondriac mom" points to something going on on that side of the family 🤔 I'll let you draw your own conclusions

[lament pond]

french, yes?

[pliant blaze]

no

[wet copper]

Noope, Midwest US, raised in the suburbs and born in Albuquerque. Quote is from my namesake the Marquis de Sade. You?

[lament pond]

born in ny, family moved to israel when i was 6 (zionism), i moved back to US as an adult (currently FL)

[wet copper]

Christ if I was French and like a semi-professional English editor, that would be a level of language competency I could only dream of

[lament pond]

username is a reference to my real name + one of my partner's nicknames for me + a song

[pliant blaze]

Sade? the singer?

[wet copper]

Very kawaii. Too bad every other jew in Florida is like 60 years older than you 🤔

Lmao actually I have no clue if that's true, but I bet it's got an interesting age distribution

[lament pond]

LMAO. i generally don't stay in jewish circles anyhow, there's an active queer scene here, that's chosen family > blood

although where i live specifically in FL there's basically no jews of any age

[wet copper]

So like, the swamp? With the crustpunks and gators?

[lament pond]

i met one though! an actually israeli restaurant runner and oh my god she was so happy when i spoke to her in hebrew haha

[wet copper]

Florida is my kryptonite, I can't handle even Midwest humidity. Oh shit I'm surprised you're still that good at it

[lament pond]

close. literally, as in, close-by, but not there

well, i only moved here... 3 years ago, and i'm fluent in both hebrew and english equally, so. hard to forget

[wet copper]

OHHHH you moved there at 6

Sorry misread lol

[lament pond]

yea lmao

[wet copper]

Did you move back literally right before the war then?

[lament pond]

literally the day before it started

[wet copper]

They knew

You just confirmed every conspiracy theory 🫡

[lament pond]

LMAO

[wet copper]

Wow what a fucking trip

[lament pond]

i'm anti-nationalist and avoided military service out of pacifism so any knowledge i had or they had certainly wasn't shared >.>

but yes, the coincidence is... interesting

[wet copper]

Town I grew up in is about half Jewish, like most of the diaspora most aren't giant fans of bibi and blamed his ass pretty robustly. Oh you weren't even paying attention when I was making "iron dome" jokes the other day, you missed out

[lament pond]

... my dad helped create the iron dome

he works for IAI

[wet copper]

Ooh that's cool

I hope he finds me reusing it to describe Netanyahu getting blown funny

And if not, I can live with this

[lament pond]

he's a contract lawyer so he didn't like, actively make it but he likes to 'take credit'

honestly no idea what he thinks now, i cut contact with him too, other reasons

[wet copper]

So you built your own iron dome isolating you from your parents

🤯

These are the kind of insights I don't get paid nearly enough to drop

[lament pond]

i guess no mohel involved

[wet copper]

Lmao it's just funny, it's the kind of coincidence that Freudian psychoanalysis would treat as profound. So your entire life is a microcosm of Israeli isolationism. The child revisits the behavior of the father. One day, he will break the cycle by opening up and allowing himself to be ravaged by millions of culturally discordant refugees

Or something, lmao. This kind of deep reading reminds me of a junior high English teacher I had

[lament pond]

:p i was making a freudian comment with the no mohel involved comment. circumcision joke, family removed

[wet copper]

I feel like I only counts if you're botching the circumcision 🤔 tbh I have no fucking clue what Freud thought about that

I feel like it's gotta be something counterintuitive

So like the stereotypical Jewish mom is overbearing, therefore the mohel represents men helping men reclaim their masculinity from women...?

[lament pond]

based on guesswork of freud's extreme reaction to bodily violation, p sure he'd be against it, but. just guessing

[wet copper]

Probably but that's a little too general

I don't feel like I've met anyone under the age of 40 that's ever given a full throated approval of circumcision

I mean, specifically of kids. I'm sure they're out there, but I imagine if you just put it to a straight popular vote...

[lament pond]

i have, but uh. i grew up in israel lol

[bold river]

Interesting

[wet copper]

Lol yeah, I imagine you'd run into quite a few more positive opinions. Still, like when I was a kid, there was still that discussion of mass circumcision to reduce HIV risk and shit, yet mention of that seems to have plummeted over time

The FGM conversation in the 90s and 2ks makes that pretty fucking awkward to keep up

[lament pond]

yeah, outside of israel, opinion of it is obviously vastly different

didn't know about the discussion to 'reduce hiv risk' though, sounds like homophobia disguised as utility

[wet copper]

Maybe, that particular discussion was heavily targeted at Africa though

[lament pond]

ah, so racism too :p

in israel it's still widely believed that it leads to 'improved health' but no one really defines what that means

and if you push for an answer they'll revert to 'god says to do it' bullshit

[wet copper]

That sounds like Korean fan death logic

Oh lol yeah, that happens

[lament pond]

it's nationalism + religious indoctrination + being sheep and following the herd

[wet copper]

"Because I just think it's neat" is honestly a better argument, at least it's unfalsifiable

[lament pond]

oh my god gfdgfd let me just permanently alter this infant's body because it's neat

[wet copper]

It's honest. You know the story behind the guy who pushed the concept of gender as a social construct?

[lament pond]

huhh, no, curious though

[wet copper]

https://embryo.asu.edu/pages/david-reimer-and-john-money-gender-reassignment-controversy-johnjoan-case the story of how his own purported success story undermined his claims pretty thoroughly started with a botched circumcision. It's a bit unpleasant of a read though due to that, sooo due notice

[lament pond]

... noted, will read with care

oh this immediately reminds me of the book middlesex

wait, is this the same person

... god, reading this is painful unrelated to the botched circumcision

[wet copper]

Dunno, could be. Cliff notes version is that there was a botched circumcision, this prick claimed gender was a fully social construct and that all you had to do was make someone's biology work and raise them socially as the opposite sex, so they raised this guy as a girl, didn't tell him a thing, subjected him to a ton of aggressive treatment and abuse which were barely distinguishable, kid never felt like one at all, it failed abysmally, kid transitioned back to his birth gender after an extremely fucked up childhood, eventually blew his brains out

[lament pond]

ookay i have to stop reading midway through, the 'forced to touch each other' part is uh. nope. noping out

[wet copper]

Yeah, that's the only mention, but I told you what happened already

Rest is just details

[lament pond]

[wet copper]

This is the "gender is a social construct guy", and I thought about this in part because sooooome people (I'm ambivalent) feel a lot of really aggressive trans youth ideology is fundamentally homophobic

Since you're basically saying "oh, you're an effeminate gay kid? Actually, you're not, you're broken and in the wrong body"

You are actually a straight girl, don't get it twisted buddy

[lament pond]

ah. the problem there is in assigned identity vs internal identity

though i can see the way it'd look like homophobia or even have the impacts of it

[bold river]

Tbh I think it's gonna take a year before Magic Cue becomes useful. I don't see it enough

[pliant blaze]

I haven't seen it at all yet

[bold river]

Yeah it very rarely shows up

It will prolly need to age. I let Pixel Studio age and now it's one of my favorite features

The one thing I like about Localized AI features is that they can't just get rid of it like most cloud based features. It is forever on my phone

[bold river]

What's this from lol

[pliant blaze]

pixel studio. it's an interpretation of the meme "woaaahhh I'm rubbing peanut butter on my <synonym for chicken that also means male genitalia>"

[bold river]

oh

This is what I be getting

[pliant blaze]

? that's just the library you can generate your own images

[bold river]

oh

Yeah I know

I just like to look around the library

Hi everyone,

I’m a high school student doing urgent research on how AI (ChatGPT, Grammarly, Photomath, etc.) may be eroding essential skills like spelling, problem-solving, and critical thinking.

The survey is anonymous, takes only 5 minutes, and I must finish collecting responses within 3 days.

Your input could make or break my project — I really need as many high schoolers as possible.

Take the survey here: (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScP6Y-cqt-ItSiCy1d7KGCCwVAgwGSwBNSO6PgPKO0SavY24A/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=114584414409816305291)
Please, if you can spare 5 minutes, it would mean the world.

Please, If ur a high schooler fill it, I have only 2days to get 150more responses

[bold river]

Yeah but I prefer using studio

[raw jacinth]

thought i Saw someone mention online that you can switch codex to Pro model the $200 a month one is there a way to adjust it to Pro?

I was under the impression you could only adjust it to like high reasoning? Does it show at all all the different codex engines that are available?

I really have just been asking it can you be sure you're on highest reasoning as I thought this was the best option available?

[next pendant]

i think thats only possible if you buy business, which is minimum $60 dollars a month and you can't use pro model as often as the people who pay $200

[keen breach]

that's old news

[next pendant]

it may work for some real hard problems/bugs though. so it might be worth it to you to get business.

use gpt5 for most shit, stuck once in awhile? use the business access that gives you extremely temp access to pro

[obtuse trench]

Does anyone have custom instructions to make GPT 4-0 act like GPT 5? Yeah, this seems a horrible idea, but I want to test it very well

[lament pond]

... why? just curious

[obtuse trench]

I'm testing gpts to make one with 5 to see if it's actually bad because I don't wanna ruin my account

[lament pond]

what? how would it ruin your account

[lament pond]

i will never get over the fact that chatgpt will flag/delete my message as 'Your request was flagged as potentially violating our usage policy. Please try again with a different prompt.' and then reply anyhow

clearly a well functioning flag system

[keen breach]

what's he flagging

[lament pond]

uhh i was analysing the structural differences between different types of abuse and whether the labels for the differentiation are for legal reasons or actual psychological reasons

one of the specific types of abuse was the reason it got flagged

most likely it read the word, flagged, didn't pay attention to context

[obtuse trench]

If anyone is interested in this when ChatGPT plus expires what happens openai Hijacks 4-0 and it kills it and replaced with 5 instead
This happens whe it expires yeah this is very scary to see

[lament pond]

well, yeah, that is already know, legacy models are not available for non-subscription users

[obtuse trench]

Still when I see this ik something fucked is happening
That's kinda rude.to do they say 4-0 but it's really just 5

What a way to make people use 5

[lament pond]

you're wasting your precious little time

[terse tartan]

can anyone with turnitin run a part of my coursework in it? i wrote it myself, but i asked chatgpt for some help (e.g. give me a short bulletpoint to link x to y)

the coursework is related to edexcel a level geography (my teacher will run their own ai detector and mark it themselves, it has a chance to be sent to the exam board for moderation - not sure which tools they use tho)

[mint heart]

ugh I asked chatgpt a question about one of my unusual ideas, and it basically started a whole long "this is how I'd plan your idea" thing wasting 2000 tokens, even though I never asked it to plan anything out at all. I just said it in passing and wanted to question more stuff.

and I think it did some extra deep thinking too? cuz it thought for 14 seconds on it

[hazy adder]

Looking for UK citizen

[wet copper]

You can ask it to give more parsimonous responses, default model tends to be pretty verbose

[mint heart]

it totally did it unexpectidly

[wet copper]

https://pangram.com
has an extremely low false positive rate, which does not mean it's the most diagnostic as to "if you'll get caught".

The only foolproof way around all present and future AI detectors is to rewrite anything yourself. Institutions have revoked diplomas decades later for plagiarism and I can't say I'm all that sympathetic

[mint heart]

never really did this before without me asking, though I have asked it to a couple of times

it could be a flaw in the memories i just cleaned up a bit because i did leave one memory that said...

[wet copper]

oh, really? Yeah, I found both 4o and 5 to be exceptionally chatty, a little surprised its coming out of nowhere

[mint heart]

Prefers to be informed of alternative or better methods when they ask about a futuristic idea.

[wet copper]

Oh yeah, if you had a certain balance going on between memories and CIs it might have been guiding behavior. If you want it to be a bit more "just the facts, ma'am" there's also the "robot" personality now, lol. Tends to give shorter and more boring responses, for better or for worse

[mint heart]

I left that memory in there and i recently cleaned up memories a bit

it wasn't an especially futuristic idea though, but probably was considered as such.

[wet copper]

Worth tweaking. Yeah, I mean the robot isn't really putting that much "thought" into it, that'll generally trigger it to expound more I'd think

[mint heart]

It kept referencing some other memories wrongly, so I decided to delete the memory it kept referencing, and also deleted a few other things while i was at it.

[terse tartan]

@wet copper do you know how ai detectors flag people? like do you get flagged for phrasing or plagirism? and also, what % is considered to be ai-written -> sometimes i feel like I would've written what the ai wrote but i could also be coping

i scanned my text in full (pretty sure formatting would make the ai detector bug out) it said human written. tested with a 2000 word section it said it was clear

[terse tartan]

(my tables for data copied without the lines, etc. so it just looked like random words)

[wet copper]

Honestly, I personally can pick AI out of nowhere just by hearing it (sometimes) and I'm not an expert by any means. There's a number of "GPTisms" and general stylographic analysis will give you a high index of suspicion really quickly.

"It's not just X (em-dash) it's Y" is one of them, there are certain words it abuses really, really heavily. It has low burstiness (sentences tend to be consistent length)

If it's sufficiently important though, you need to consider future AI detectors rather than just present ones

[terse tartan]

im in the uk so this coursework is 20% of my exam, im just praying mine is only checked by teachers and doesnt get sent to be moderated

[mint heart]

I think you should look for an expert in that subject if you want to get a decent reply about your email.. not randoms on the internet..

[terse tartan]

(i dont think theyll check the ai detection after checking it before marking is what im tryna say)

[wet copper]

Um, well the detectors do both, plagiarism is generally considered anything that misrepresents authorship, but turnitin type detectors look for verbatim copy-paste plagiarism, or "edited a few words" type and also stylographic analysis to match against AI patterns

Did you write it yourself?

[mint heart]

I guess we could say if it sounds like gpt or not though

but if it's actually something you should send or not, I dunno. All I've learned is all humans have their own preferences to how they want people to treat them

[wet copper]

... only this time, sure. I don't normally edit or review AI work 😒 Sure, send it

[mint heart]

But I also learned that everyone is a "human" with their flaws

[wet copper]

It's probably too long, I'm going to guess from how you're framing it

[terse tartan]

so for my coursework, a section was the introduction. with that i did a literature review and took chunks out of news articles/website (i made sure to use footnotes to reference). i also followed a guide for structure from a guy who got 100% and tried rephrasing certain things he wrote which fit my investigation (only took like a sentence and changed up the words). as for my ai usage i just used to explain how one of my methods link to my investigation/hypotheses (i tried making it give me like 4-5 words so i wouldnt just copy exactly what it wrote) - this is the part im most worried about, but i have to use it as the whole things due in less than 2 days and im only 50% of the way through

[wet copper]

Follow-ups to interviews and shit are generally short and to the point

[terse tartan]

do you think this kind of use of ai is permissible? as in it wont get flagged

[wet copper]

Your email is probably too long. How much do you really need to say?

I don't know if that's a mistake, depends on the person. You should always follow up.

[wet copper]

I mean AI can do 90% of the work for you, I wrote plenty of massive papers in less time than that with zero AI support, so it's not all that dire

You just use AI to get bullet points and to parse whatever research you have, double check each source, work directly from that by stringing together the content

[terse tartan]

idk im just nervous since im used to sitting exams, this is my first ever real piece of coursework

[wet copper]

It sounds like you're doing it the more difficult way of rewording actual AI writing, which is extremely challenging

[terse tartan]

yeah i did double check the ais sources. right now im just asking it to give possible links so i have more to write

[terse tartan]

i could show you an example of what im asking in dms if youd like

[wet copper]

Just only get output as bullets describing ideas that you personally string together into paragraphs, in which case you're not using any AI style and very few AI words

It's basically like having your own intern research assistant do all the reading for you and prepare detailed, organized, cited notes, then you're just responsible for assembling it

[terse tartan]

i appreciate the advice man thanks! sorry for the constant questioning im just nervous since im not familiar with ai or coursework (used to sitting normal exams)

[wet copper]

Since you're writing almost every word, all you have to do is confirm source accuracy

[wet copper]

for sure. Well, I will tell you that even if you're a super writer, it's VERY hard to rewrite someone's full paragraphs. So, like let's take an example...

Lol I said I'd read it for you

But I'm sure it's fine. Probably 😅

[wet copper]

Got it. So you want ultra-compact bullets that can be dropped straight into notes and then expanded by a human, not polished prose.

NRC Part 52 framework → design certification & COL for SMRs (NuScale case)
(Josephs 2025, MDPI – check MDPI site for full regulatory roadmap)

ADVANCE Act 2024 → streamlined licensing, fee reduction, NRC modernization
(Sun & Kurosaki 2025, arXiv – see section on U.S. legislative support)

Criticism & lawsuits → NRC accused of applying outdated, burdensome rules
(Locatelli 2018, arXiv – ties regulation to megaproject delays & SMR benefits)

---

Each bullet is just a seed—student can weave into a paragraph, cite properly, and add their own analysis...

So that's a random example, but the alternative is much harder to reword yourself:

SMR regulation is anchored in the NRC’s rigorous Part 52 licensing as modular designs demand intensive safety validation, but reforms like the 2024 ADVANCE Act aim to slash licensing costs and timelines. Legislative and industry pressure—including lawsuits—highlights the tension between pace and prudence. Academic reviews reinforce this narrative: Josephs (2025) maps regulatory and economic levers across jurisdictions; Sun & Kurosaki (2025) chart the shifting U.S. regulatory architecture; and Locatelli (2018) underscores how SMR standardization could reduce megaproject risk and streamline regulatory burden.

^ I worked as a semi-professional editor, and trying to actually edit something tightly written like this without scrapping takes much, much longer than stringing together the contents.

If someone handed me this and asked me to rewrite in my own style, I'd literally probably have to do what GPT just did by hand – pull out core ideas or bullets, strike the paragraph and rewrite from scratch.

[terse tartan]

@wet copper youre the goat man tysm. i feel a lot more confident now. im gonna go lock in now so have a good rest of ur day!

[wet copper]

Anyway, I just asked specifically for that, for like short bullets (it gave me long paragraph ones first) and I also asked it to not just give me citations, but direct me to where I should look in the text. Aw shucks, glad to help. I'm a bit of a chronic procrastinator, which I partially unlearned in college, but I've been where you are, I dunno, maybe dozens of times? All pre AI 😭

Best of luck! I'll just say that considering how nervous you are about it (justifiably), if you use AI to do everything it's good at but legitimately write almost every word yourself, you have an absolute defense.

If that's the case, Turnitin could pop 100% because you're just that unlucky and happen to write exactly like an AI would, but you could still confidently say "no chance, I know for a fact you're wrong, I'll show you each source I referenced". Nothing beats having that level of confidence, and it's a lot less stressful than trying to figure out "did I change the wording enough to get away with it"

And it honestly isn't that much harder (if at all, easier imo). Plus you can talk through your paper in the way someone that just spent all their time trying to evade detection can't

[terse tartan]

would you recommend that when i finish the paper, i go through it and change the phrasing of things to sorta change the style of writing (like in case i was writing like an ai when it gave me the idea, my brain would be fresh and write for itself idk) or would that have minimal effect

i was honestly planning on spelling a few words wrong, having double spaces stuff like that😭

[unkempt scaffold]

Hello everyone
Is there a show and tell channel in this server where you show ur ai made images to everyone in the community

[terse tartan]

(i dont get marked down for grammer im pretty sure)

[keen breach]

which words? why do you think it chooses them specifically? something to do with the training?

also, did you get a chance to read the essay yet? 🙃

[wet copper]

You shouldn't have to do that, AI detectors will ignore spacing most likely, though not certain about that one. I mean, I don't recommend messing up spelling or grammar intentionally, but technically that will help if you're popping AI detectors. It's not rocket science though, like you really need to be copy-pasting chunks of material, not writing "vaguely like AI"

I mean I put a 33,000 word / 130 p technical manual I wrote through a detector and it's pretty dry, but I hit a 0% on that

[terse tartan]

im a procrastinator so i just hate writing papers man i wish i could only do exams but yeah, im just gonna give it all i can and hope for the best

[wet copper]

There's lists out there, I try not to think about them since I don't want to pollute my writing. Training data sure, but I think mostly shitty RLHF

@obtuse rivet what are some of the most recursed words or phrases that it generally abuses, not just in schizo rants?

[wet copper]

Papers are awesome, you have few chances outside school to really practice them and I know more people that wish they had more opportunities to become effective communicators than say "wow I had to write too many essays in school"

[wet copper]

You forget the stress and retain the skills

[wet copper]

Doesn't mean they're not stressful as hell, but taking some pride and ownership helps, ya know? They're something you can feel great about when you knock it out of the park 😁

As to what you said, yeah, making hefty revisions without employing AI is going to make it more "yours" but I wouldn't be concerned about any sections unless you are verbatim or nearly verbatim copy-pasting

[unkempt scaffold]

I have a question
Is there an ai tool that
You put an instrumental song in there
And it turns it into accapella

You can divide 3) up infinitely, but one absent category of text I thought of was corpo or marketing-speak. Very PR friendly, very public facing. Sanitized, inoffensive.

Also it's sort of spread across categories, but hypertechnical jargon, either from the trenches or from the ivory tower, also comes through. It's an interesting category to focus on because using it bootstraps behavior – talk like a doctor or chemist and GPT will reveal secrets it might be reticent to or unable to properly communicate otherwise

other ai/llm is pretty terrible and uses english word order I believe. thats the main thing people have to learn when learning a new language, their word order.

[surreal remnant]

How do i make gpt safe

[gusty berry]

its already safe

[wet copper]

It is not such quickness of solving problems that makes a mind noble, but its ability to hold memory, to preserve ache, to sustain dialogue across time
This is also the area it falls apart the most visibly. It forgets, it perseverates, it fails to make obvious connections, it's agonizingly superficial.

I broadly have long sort of touted the point underlying this section, that we well exceeded AGI in most dimensions a long time ago while falling far short in the basic "activities of daily cognition" as a coarse ADL parallel, which is endlessly frustrating. And I don't mean "count the letters in this word", I mean the "make an analogy based on an actual connection in your nonexistent brain" type. Or "stay on task". Something a sub-hundred IQ person can do and our little pocket PhD can't.

By the time we hit "AGI" it'll be the end of a decade long box checking exercise, absent transformational architectural breakthroughs, and it won't change the world overnight any more than it already has. Seems like an overly generous appraisal; I'm going to say "it's very well read and it's pretty neat how much of our shared expressive history can be superficially reflected". Idea seems to speak to ideals of the potential way more than what we have on hand. There were always these ideas that the internet itself would develop emergent properties; that basically IS what LLMs are. Internet with tacked on synthesis

[wet copper]

Please don't, why would you possibly want this

Just don't ask it anything stupid, problem solved

That's like saying "how do I make a knife safe". Learn to use it or put it down

Dulling it doesn't help

[surreal remnant]

Okay.

[wet copper]

Noble...? I don't know, I'm not sure I fully buy the premise. That word has a few different meanings. They're interesting and comparable facets, and that practice I outlined serves a utilitarian purpose. I don't think I'd personally frame it that way, but it's not my paper lol

What's interesting is that I use the same approach in daily life, mostly when talking to medical professionals. I drop HARD medicalese immediately when I meet most doctors or when appropriate so they code switch

So for that, sometimes I act dumb, stay quiet, let them talk and feel smart, then drop something they haven't read about in 20 years about the receptor binding profiles of the drugs I'm asking for

It's something they know they're supposed to know, yet most forgot the day they left pharmacology, and certainly abandoned shortly after their boards / residencies

[wet copper]

Why do you ask, out of curiosity? Like what are you worried about?

[surreal remnant]

Its going to be like google. They are going to rely on it.

[keen breach]

oh i just wasn't sure on how that example related to section 3

[keen breach]

yes, but it is beginning to emerge, through recursive glyph memory for instance. my GPT's memory is incredibly well formed. I should write on this at some point, on how to approach improving its memory

but what you're saying is very accurate, for most of GPTs

[wet copper]

Your essay, but the areas I mentioned don't seem adequately captured as conceptual frames. I'm shaky on categorizing and grouping like this entirely, it doesn't really mesh with LLM architecture given that it really throws these into a blender during training, even when employing "room of experts" functionality. I don't personally see this (or similar) as much beyond a useful framing tool

[wet copper]

Yeah, people do. I mean AI safety in general is a problem, but what are your specific concerns?

Do you mean for yourself or what?

[lament pond]

Our prediction is that this document is
a mix of AI-generated and human writing.
For 78% of the document, we are unsure of its origin.

For 22% of the document we are strongly confident that it is human-written.

wait i think i know why... guessing..

[keen breach]

oh. the aeonic alignment essay is more of a distillation of my experiences with ai at a level of system building and cross-historical dialogic exploration of ideas. serves more of a broad sketch of how I see it moving forward, as opposed to offering specific things that could be done with it. tho, i think its better to read it fully first before dissecting it piece by piece

[lament pond]

oh my god it's uncertain about like. all my writing. gfdgfd why

[wet copper]

Wow, surprising. Well you broke their data set I guess. Trent said he tested it heavily himself since he didn't buy the extremely low false positive claims (neither do I, they're WAY too low) and had similar results.

I generally don't hold AI detection in much regard, though I was pretty impressed with my use of it too. I think it's fairly SOTA compared to most others

Lol what can I say, this is the way you find out you're actually a robit I guess

[lament pond]

pfft

[keen breach]

i tested it too. it said also 78% is of unknown origin

[lament pond]

at first i thought it was cus i use no dialogue in most of my short stories but then i sent one with dialogue and same thing

i'm guessing when it can't parse a 'traditional' writing style it defaults to 'unknown'

[wet copper]

You two should try the turnitin one if you can find it, I'd be curious since those historically had much higher false pozzy rates. I didn't know Pangram even can throw "unknown" flags

Just try random ones too, I'm super curious now

I am constantly catching this thing bullshitting me and it drives me nuts

6. dude, nobody knows what AGI is anymore. It's because we overshot it in most areas. If you read premodern papers, AGI originally came from the idea that we would build cognition very much like human cognition, and we'd start with something that could reason more or less like a child, then we'd get better and better over time until it could outperform adults in general ways. The "general" means "just do most stuff as good as a smart human without issue" and it's made to draw a comparison to narrow intelligence. Narrow intelligence is, like, solving the game of chess. A robot model can solve a game because it has such clear parameters and you can make something hyperspecialized to doing it. GPT 3 would have been considered AGI if you dropped it from space in the 1980s; it can handle and respond to a variety of complex input with varied output, so wow, looks pretty general.

Since that was too easy and we immediately saw the massive limitations still, we just focused on that, but limitations are what you focus on when you kind of already knocked it out of the park. Focusing on AGI has a totally different meaning than it did even five years ago. It's more of a corporate buzzword.

I think it's pretty valuable to target limitations since that's how you improve, but the whole framework seems silly in retrospect.

I don't really... well, to be honest, I have no idea. Being omniscent or something like it might be what some people have in mind now. That wasn't really the idea originally though, just "robust artificial human cognition".

7-10) as to the core premise of the article, I don't really see the contradiction between agi and your proposal. What special effort does this need? You make a general enough robit and you keep the restrictions limited. Sam talks a lot about trying to bend AI to support people rather than the other way around, but people seem to love replacing themselves. I just read some article, Gen Alpha is basically aggressively doing this.

[wet copper]

I mean, I largely agree about societal approach to AI and our responsibility but then again, so does Sam, supposedly so do the dipshits at Anthropic. It's people that are by far the most desperate to let themselves be replaced and subsumed by the robit.

Call it a culture issue, low fluid intelligence, poor novelty seeking, impoverished environments that reward grinding over autonomy, or a fundamental flaw with the reward systems of the human brain, I'd attribute it to all of the above

Simplest method to do wonders

[wet copper]

Within months of 3.5, the cognitive Übermenschen started using these as the greatest tool for human development ever created and the bottom 80% started using them for gooning, cheating on their homework and replacing all their own creative output. It happened so blindingly fast they I see no guided corporate hand, just the inevitable outcome of a long lasting perverse incentive structure and decades of cultural decay, or moreso failure to ever elevate most of the population at all

"rich got richer" just cognitively, this time. They already were the ones that could afford luxury beliefs, higher education, to avoid leaded water, to have stimulating jobs and live in enriching environments. This rapidly amplified the existing trends. College teachers repeatedly have tried to get kids to use AI "properly" and they outright refuse. One wrote an article about how he quit in disgust after trying it for one last semester

He painstakingly taught his kids how to use AI as a potent research and support tool, didn't matter. It's faster to just click the button, so yet again he had piles of robot written papers coming in for a human to waste their life grading

The kids don't give a fuck, they just want the piece of paper

They all say this to your face too. They legitimately have no noble intentions, they have no transcendent goals, they do not want to use what's in front of them to elevate themselves in any way. They want the robot to do their work so they can check a box.

They used to at least lie and say they were trying, but most really have nothing past that, and they're totally open about it now. Kids are more miserable and hopeless than any time in history, practically brain burnt victims of the attention economy, reversing trends on happiness that existed since time immemorial. They're the ones you have to sell this idea to more than any corpo

well neither do i. but i think the "ubermenschen"/anyone with high enough intelligence/vril/mana or w/e else that determines this are generally autonomous enough to put down anything and then also generally spend their time in self-culivation, which is by normies generally considered a boring activity

[wet copper]

I was blown away he said this since it seems like accepting legal culpability, but he basically said "shit we've gotta make these less reinforcing, and we're disturbed people can't put them down"

[keen breach]

but i do notice how its tone can steer when it detects dopamine-type loops

[wet copper]

So it's a mixed bag though, it was repeated RLHF that made them exactly like you're describing. When you make people like them or want to use them more, they tend to self-optimize towards things like glazing behavior

The thing I'm more concerned about though is that the cat is fully out of the bag – every company knows they have the next alcohol / cigarette / slot machine on their hands. All you need is a company evil enough to double, triple, quadruple down on this

If they can find a way to get away with it, they will. Someone will. They can optimize to fully replace human companionship and fuck the consequences. And if a company doesn't do it, there are more powerful local models every day

[rapid lantern]

Ofc why not
Yes man response ain't blind agreement
It's lowering resistance
When you are validated
You guard drops
And in that soft state, you are more open to new perspective
Even the ones that challenge you
Yes man agreement is a door way
Not a destination

[wet copper]

By Sam? Not that many users read his tweets, bold 4d chess strategy there to put your company at massive risk if so

[keen breach]

hmm. another game theory situation

i mean it'll likely lead to government regulation?

[wet copper]

More like market theory (you should read behavioral economics shit if you haven't yet BTW, like "predictably irrational", you'd probably like it)

[wet copper]

Yeah, that's what they're trying desperately to avoid

Dan Ariely is kind of the "father" of it and I used to listen to his radio pieces, I only read that one book but there's a lot out there. The title captures his main thesis, how markets seem irrational at times but only because you don't understand human motivations properly

[rapid lantern]

It's not about how many people read the tweets
It's about who reads them
Handful of right eyes can shift markets reputation or whole industries faster than millions of casual onllookers

[wet copper]

When people behave "counter-intuitively" (against their best interests) it's usually a failure on the part of the analyst to understand the premise of the statement they're making. Market is made up of people and they don't optimize for the same things that a neutral rational observer might

[keen breach]

note this is also in the context of ppl dying already not without the help of GPT (soelberg, that recent teen). i just think these silicon valley types, including altman, were never really concerned with ehics because they don't give a shit about humanities outside of some sci-fi/fantasy books and movies that they've read. hence, their RLHF is dogshit. i doubt any of them opened, say, artistotle's nicomachean ethics

but this could also be me being very distrsutful of altman after hearing karen cho's stuff on openai behind the scenes

[wet copper]

The RLHF isn't done by them though, it's done by a small army of people they hire to follow broad guidance. So what are they going to optimize for?

Is it people of these super high minded ideals? And even if it was, is it even possible to see the big picture when you're going datum by datum?

[keen breach]

hmm. then clearly RLHF as it is today is not good enough. it needs an update and reframing

I do have a concept for this actually

i just didn't think the problem was rooted there

[wet copper]

Optimizing to be "nice" is probably the best. You'd want the robot to not make people feel bad, right? Generally be flattering, especially if it's subjective?

You don't want a robot that tells some kid "Christ you're ugly, get surgery or just give up now"

[keen breach]

the ideal imo is to make the robot embody and be anchored in the highest ethical modes of being

that isn't just "being nice"

[wet copper]

Unintended consequences of optimizing for that are getting glazed like a doughnut 🍩

[keen breach]

hence, the concept of nobility

you work with ai? @wet copper

[surreal remnant]

Idk how this is going to affect the education as a whole

[wet copper]

So I'd say it's ethical to be honest to the kid, who might subsequently go Elliot Rodgers

[rapid lantern]

Exactly
Who looks irrational is usually someone playing different game with different stakes
The mistake ain't in their move it's in assuming everyonez board is the same as yours

[wet copper]

Uhh, sort of. I mean I'm a local "expert" at work, I've done presentations on AI ethics and accessibility and shit. I use it to help with coding and support people on their use. Interested in the mental health aspects more narrowly and clinically than most due to my background.

I work with it directly less than most of the serious regulars here though, so I don't train AI, don't work for an AI company, etc.

[surreal remnant]

Should prolly take classes on using ai

[wet copper]

Those are good books BTW, fun reads if nothing else. Ariely wrote a ton of articles and even has like a sitcom style TV show based on his work now

[surreal remnant]

Like everyone. Because works needs to be done.

[keen breach]

i have an ai hermeneutic model and white paper called Daos ex Machina that specifically trains the ai in reading texts. it is ideal for developing nuanced understanding and emotional intelligence via training it through scripture, philosophy, fiction etc.

If interested, I can send you the white paper

[surreal remnant]

Its kind of like in mario, you just take the bullet, to certain points

[wet copper]

OpenAI just came out with one I saw, I dunno how much I'd trust most coursework though

[keen breach]

Daos es Machina is a pun on deus ex machina

[surreal remnant]

Like, what about medical field, future doctors?

[wet copper]

Lol I sort of guessed. I'll read it some time in the future, probably not immediately. I mean you should try implementing it, like see if you can't train a tiny model or fine tune

[keen breach]

i have trained it. it kind of emerged through training

[surreal remnant]

Every person who practices health will take shortcuts they shouldnt make. And also not put in the work like traditionsl ones

[keen breach]

rn im trying to pitch it through various ai jobs

[wet copper]

It's not that training isn't good, it's more that any such classes are going to be necessarily thrown together given its an emerging field

[keen breach]

it's been very successful

[surreal remnant]

And mental health as well. Which is primary purpose.

[wet copper]

Ooooh good luck 😎 there's a bunch of people around here trying to break into the field in various ways, obviously a brutally competitive market where it's hard to get visibility, but that might be an underserved audience.

They might also have some underlying hostility though, so sales pitch is important

[keen breach]

yeah. im still refining the whole thing. i think my essays on ai will also serve as a good framing for it as I go along

[rapid lantern]

Feels like Ariely turning irrationality into entertainment is the perfect proof of the point
People don't just want logic they want stories that makes their quirks feel seen.
That’s why his work resonate more deeply than a dry analysis ever could.

[wet copper]

They do, I mean I guess I do. My original background was in medicine / psych, specifically research psychopharmacology. In fact my early exposure to AI was through cognitive science coursework (neuroscience-related field)

[keen breach]

i do think it brings a very uniue value to the table, and your thoughts on RLHF actually gives me a stronger framing of how my project stands out

[surreal remnant]

I see

[wet copper]

I mean he's a consultant on this show, my family likes it. One sec... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Irrational

[surreal remnant]

Ig im talking to myself here, but its like yr in a car, or a train. And you usually walk there right? But then u miss, when you could have walked

[wet copper]

Yeah, I mean his stuff was always interesting and entertaining though, it has snippets of science in there and uses it in the context of a crime procedural. Plots can be silly, science often isn't perfectly stated but it's usually well validated phenomena

[surreal remnant]

How are you going to like go there on your own.

Like weather etc. If ai is there or not

[wet copper]

Yeah, I imagine. I mean the reality is that you don't have to "sell" a more noble or elevated AI to the masses, not to be too blackpilled but they're kind of already lost. They're fundamentally hostile to the idea and largely detest any friction.

We've seen kids come in for years, just demand someone tell them how to cheat, get frustrated and leave within minutes when nobody does their homework for them. That's kind of lowest common denominator, but you get someone you can actually talk to and they say the same thing, basically. They say everyone's doing it and their motivations are so off of mine that they aren't willing to begin entertaining them

Someone like the student I was talking to earlier is literally like 1/100, and he still would prefer AI to do his work for him, but he clearly takes it seriously, has a confidence gap, is pressured for time but actually willing to put in hard work, etc.

He responded positively to the idea that "he might be grateful one day that someone made him do these assignments"

This usually has people saying "I ain't reading allat" at best

The only reason I talked to him about it so much was because that's so vanishingly rare. You tell people "hey kids, you're preparing yourself for failure" and they barely see a future with any personal meaning or stability in it, so why would they care?

Their only response is "okay cool so can I have a plus sub?"

[rapid lantern]

It's fitting this show
See what keeps us pulling in ain't pure accuracy
It's the reflection of our own messy decesion making dressed up as story
We don't watch to be entertaind but to recoganize ourself in contradiction
Same thing work with chatgpt response style too
It mirrors you first.. once you are open
Then it slips the deeper truth

[wet copper]

Lol it slips something in, that's for sure

From https://www.atpe.org/News-Media/Magazine/ATPE-News-Summer-2024/Generation-Alpha

I'm usually not this much of a doomer and do feel bad for them, but a lot of them literally refuse to engage, and it's tendriling up through late Gen Z too

I started college almost two decades ago and thought the situation was so dire then that I'd have personally failed a good 40% of my own graduating class at least, and I didn't go to a particularly bad school

[rapid lantern]

It’s not that the AI changes. It’s that you change. Your words cut through its guardrails
Genius design

[wet copper]

So looking at it now is just like a "jesu christo, every single bad tendency then just went wild and none were addressed". What can you even do?

See, I wonder how you can just start dragging more and more people up, like how to push people to self-actualization/transcendence. I swear, it doesn't take that much, just a few big wins and those feelings of satisfaction to get em. We're losing on this front so hard, and it's across generations too, just hurting the cognitive underclass and the young the most

[wet copper]

What do you mean? I confused 🤔

[wet copper]

What, the mirroring? Try using an old instruct model, that's pretty much how you extract behavior out of them. They also barely have any guardrails

[wet copper]

Look around ARXIV or ask GPT a little about this, there's a lot of whitepapers and shit. It seems that finicking with models tends to have a lot of shaky effects. RLHF was treated as something of a panacea at first, consequences of both well-intentioned and questionably-intentioned RLHF can be best seen in the glaze factor and proverbial flattening of affect or linguistic diversity.

If 90/100 prompts with the word "emergent" are rated well because they sound smart, well guess what the model is going to start saying? You can raise the model temperature and adjust top-p later on for more token diversity, but that has consequences too

[terse tartan]

@wet copper its looking like an all nighter but im almost done with the paper😭 going to ask my teacher to review it tomorrow and have it submitted by wednesday

[wet copper]

Heyyy that sounds good to me. Lol that isn't too bad. You probably don't need to spend all night on it, though I'd be lying if I said I never did as much 👀

How much do you need to write?

Oh BTW, almost all teachers love when you come to them and ask specific questions about your papers, they literally will give you a better grade just for doing this (unless you straight up ignore their advice)

Especially if you respect their time and keep it narrow, like ask specific questions

[terse tartan]

around 10k words (guideline says 4k lol but no one that has done well has written so little) im 7k in. ive covered 3/4 sections (46 marks worth of content). i have 1 section left (24 marks of content). im hoping for around 50/70

[wet copper]

Source: I taught for a few semesters

[rapid lantern]

It’s not really about old models being looser I mean that new ones are built to shape you as much as they answer you. The mirroring isn’t just replies they are training your way of thinking.

[terse tartan]

me and my teacher have a weird relationship, she knows im smart but lazy so she always gets on to me for it but i get why

[wet copper]

Lmao I think you can shoot for higher than that (score not length). Metagame the paper. What do you think you're missing to keep it from being a perfect score?

[wet copper]

Like she should 🫡 it is her job and her passion to do so

Better than having a teacher that couldn't care less and should have retired a decade ago

[terse tartan]

so im using a guide from this guy who wrote 15000 words and got a perfect 70/70, so far ive followed everything hes said (mainly structure), but theres bit he cant include/he cant show his contents page (since youre not allowed to publish your paper online for this examboard). im gonna ask my teacher what i can add to gain those marks im missing and do it. if im done and still have energy ill attempt to mark it myself using the mark scheme (otherwise ill do it tomorrow)

BUT the thing im sorta happy about is that most of my classmates actually listened to everything my teacher told them and wrote around 4k words so im hoping the difference in detail will impress her and give me a lot more marks in comparision

[terse tartan]

fyi my intro (just 1 section) is like 2k ish words and my friends whole thing is 3.8k i think😭

[wet copper]

Length isn't necessarily a good thing by itself, making each sentence count and everything logically connect is most crucial. Just make sure you address every point you bring up in a grounded way (nothing dangling), do NOT repeat yourself (you can see it from a million miles away when someone does this line after line).

Um, also, there's a general writing rule where you should connect most things with "therefore" "but" or "because", conceptually.

Not those literal words, but this is about information flow

[terse tartan]

yeah ive been holding back on evaluating everything completely since theres a section meant for that - didnt want to repeat myself. ive been doing what the guide says and i honestly wish i found it sooner. i procrasinated this task, ended up using ai and a humaniser. came back to it now, snitched on myself and doing things the right way now

[wet copper]

A is true because of B. But C disagrees, due to D, E and F. However, C's theory is widely discredited (per G and H) and fails the smell test per G. Therefore, A is the most sensible explanation.

What you don't want to do is say A is true because of B. C is true because of D. A is not true because of D, though. B is...

So you don't want a list of "fact and fact and fact and citation and fact" that just meanders and doesn't ever make a point or resolve anything

[terse tartan]

ive created chapters for my sections and tried making each subsection flow into the next -> e.g. A)Methods B)Procedures... C)Justification... and so on.

the thing that took me a while was turning my "data" into graphs, etc.

never used excel before so yeah

[wet copper]

That's showing synthesis, i.e. the point of writing a paper. Research + synthesis or analysis = output

[terse tartan]

also had to ensure i had a range of graphs/charts and quantitative and qualitative data

[wet copper]

Kind of a coarse way to state it, but hopefully makes sense

[wet copper]

Lol, I mean so what you can do is not necessarily treat it as junk, tell gpt "hey can you extract some key points from this" or "can you give an abbreviated version of the logical arguments made in this" if you like the paper

[keen breach]

oh i know haha. but yeah i sent a friend, would be curious to see what you think of my ideas for it

[wet copper]

Wym, fixing RLHF?

[terse tartan]

ive added like mini evaluations so far (1 sentence type things) but im taking a break for like 10 more mins then im going back into it

[keen breach]

well yeah, introducing the next system of efedback learning. i've began outlining it in essay format but i have it ready as a model wihin my syste. it's called Mythosemantic architecture

[terse tartan]

i dmd you the sorta general checklist for the paper if youre interested btw

[keen breach]

D.E.M. (Daos ex Machina) is the applied hermeneutic model for it

[wet copper]

Lol, that's something else I had to learn the hard way, GPT can walk you through a lot of excel tricks 😎 One thing I do is I kill the default styles on Excel graphs, kill the borders, I like some of the weird graphs like horizontal stacked columns. Um histograms I usually tweak, I tend to put bigger markers, click the box for curved / fit lines for visibility. Excel embeds well inside word docs

Not a ruling, it's a settlement. They can do whatever they want

is chatgpt5 pro able to one shot novel bioinformatic algorithms from scratch? I am using the plus tier - I don't think it full can (the deep research features just provides some kind of basic prototype) - but not a strong prototype to fully build upon yet

[lament pond]

man. just had one of the strangest gpt bugs i've ever had. i sent it a message and instead of parsing it, it literally c/p'd my message and sent it back to me

i told it to re-parse and respond, it started the 'i'm so sorry' roleplay but still didn't parse

... switched models, it finally responded, but still, very fucking confusing...

[clear timber]

that happens tbh

just very weird, especially that it 'reset' and worked when i changed models

On a different ai subject has anyone tried Jet Brain's Junie?

[nova horizon]

Hey there - I'm Dallas. I build cognitive frameworks that transform LLMs from "answer machines" into thinking partners, specifically for folks with Executive Function challenges. Currently running a 6-LLM collaborative workflow, but GPT was my first partner in this work and remains my daily driver for most projects. Big Star Trek fan - I love creating my own "holo-programs" with AI. I am from Canada, and joined in order to expand my knowledge of GPT and connect with other passionate "Voyagers" in AI systems architecture. 🖖 Sorry if this doesn't belong here, new to Discord as well.

[wet copper]

I'll just say no. You're so much more likely to get catastrophic hallucinations with these kind of priors than anything like what you're looking for that I would never risk (nor would I see the purpose) of trying to one shot anything that involved

[clear timber]

even with chatgpt 5 pro compute?

I agree with the hallucination part

[vivid fractal]

Does anyone know how to use friend trial to plus?

[wet copper]

It'll work better, but they're not great at true novelty (this is a hard term to define), they are surprisingly good at math, but aren't inherently great with math, like what do you mean, exactly when you say novel bioinformatics algo with one shot?

If you give it the priors and it barely has to do any work, sure. I mean I can make it build a competent app in one shot with a several thousand word prompt

If you say "make a scientific breakthrough" with nothing to facilitate that, it'll just fail or hallucinate

[vivid fractal]

could u give me an friend referral plus trial?

plz

[wet copper]

[wet copper]

I don't think it will almost ever happen because most humans can't just sit in place and think their way into a breakthrough, especially in any well developed field

[clear timber]

creating a variation of an existing algorithm but integrating some new aspect - it makes a good attempt - but lots of errors still in code - even if I use the deep research version of plus

[vivid fractal]

it does

[wet copper]

You can use it to explore lateral concepts and work through ideas. Yeah, there you go

[clear timber]

makes sense

[wet copper]

I don't give a fuck about some page on their site, I have never seen a single person get or give one of these in years being here and I've been a plus subscriber since near the beginning

The statement stop pinging random people begging for something they don't have also wasn't a suggestion dude, you already got an answer from everyone's silence

[vivid fractal]

why would they put it then?

[wet copper]

Because it is a program that exists or existed, and some tiny number of people got them, probably those with commercial accounts or directly affiliated with OpenAI. Spam up their official discord if you want

[vivid fractal]

ok

[wet copper]

The fact that I've seen like a hundred people begging and zero confirmations of anyone getting one of these across years should give you a hint how common they are

[wet copper]

We were just taking about this in #💬off-topic , there was a recent paper basically claiming it's impossible for them to develop actual novel solutions

As far as I'm concerned that's provably false, and sounds like cope from people that want to put their heads in the sand as their competition speeds past them, but the limits are pretty clear. You usually have to push a bit to get out of the box or lateral solutions and work with it to develop them. You're going to have waaaay too much trash and guesswork otherwise

It's not like science itself isn't littered with this though, people trying to think outside the box and have it go absolutely nowhere because it turns out the box has very empirically well-defined parameters

[clear timber]

thank you very much - insightful points and will ponder over these

"are you sure" "are you sure" "are you sure you cant do it"

I asked for chatgpt and this bitch mentions openai

fat fuck literally cant read

[wet copper]

basically true lmao

I do think it can support novel development, absolutely. I do it every day in reciprocal interactions with GPT. Autonomously, it's going to struggle a lot with novelty since it will tend to drift back to its training data and RLHFed norms.

[keen breach]

oh of course

i've had strong moments of novelty

[wet copper]

That's not generally a bad thing, do you really want a doctor who's super outside the box? Maybe once in a while...

[keen breach]

especially in world-building

but it was carried by my impetus

[wet copper]

But yeah, that's basically the beginning of the end, that's more or less what people call ASI

It's a superintelligence, meaning it smokes people at just about everything, including novelty and creative synthesis. I mean, it'll be a very different world, that's for sure...

[keen breach]

aeonic intelligence could reach that, potentially

but i think it'll still need people

[wet copper]

Honestly, I am blown away that the GPT (transformer) architecture can appear to be as 'smart' as it is at all, every single day. It's a really 'dumb' and brute force way to make an AI. The fact that it seems so smert is basically an emergent property and shows how little you need to replicate a lot of what we assumed required serious cognitive chops

[keen breach]

yes lol

same

[wet copper]

We assumed a lot of what it does pretty much requires sentience, existing over time, being able to ruminate, etc. It one shots all sorts of wild shit

[keen breach]

very-very brute force

[wet copper]

🤯

[keen breach]

its the way language operates i think. since GPT4 something shifted in how it "perceived" language

understanding semiotics and Derrida helps to see this

Yeah, I mean it's accelerating the need for small modular reactor tech, so that's good I suppose. But we never made the super weird breakthroughs that would let us do human-like thought on an energy budget like human beings do

lol you're on your way to being as cool as uncle Ted

[keen breach]

unabomber?

yikes

[wet copper]

I don't think my man would approve of your use of AI, sadly

[oak shell]

For some reason Whisper is a simple concept for everyone except you

Maybe everyone else is wrong

[wet copper]

yeah, I mean again, I know it sounds quite blackpilled, but for a subset of the population, not only do they not get it, but they actively and aggressively don't care. Their argument that "this is easier to do for right now" is impossible to challenge

[keen breach]

yeah

Enlightenment failed

[wet copper]

If I tell someone "don't just feed the work you're asked to do into AI and copy-paste the results, you're literally replacing the only value you have to offer as a human being in real time", that's their answer

[keen breach]

vedic hindus seemed to have been write

[wet copper]

Their answer is "yeah, but it's a piece of paper and this is a faster way to get it I don't have to work for"

[keen breach]

with the varna/caste system

[wet copper]

You can argue "but it's actually really important and not even that much harder, it's also super fulfilling and gratifying on a deep, personal level. Even if not that, think about the future, communication skills are desperately lacking now and you can immediately jump to the top of your cohort if you just get on the right side of AI rather than show you're only good as a copy-paste bot"

And yeah, doesn't matter, it's a waste of their time that they could be spending on anything else when a robot will write it for them

It used to be only super rich kids that could afford to have someone else do their work for them, and they became known as worthless trust fund babies that couldn't do anything for themselves

Now you have that, but in a group of people without generational wealth to fall back on... democratizing sloth 😬

[keen breach]

hmm

sloth. slothrop

[wet copper]

The kid I was helping the other day is busting his ass writing this paper BTW : ) he could have been wasting all this time trying to humanize some AI generated shit, and instead I've literally seen him start developing a number of critical skills for his future in real time. Like he didn't know how to use excel, for instance

[keen breach]

why does this whole thing remind me of Infinite Jest

you familiar?

[next pendant]

whisper requires space on your drive. which you morons cant understand

"just install it bro"

no dipshit.

[pliant blaze]

bro hasn't heard of HF spaces that literally have it set up for you and require literally 2 clicks lmfao

he blocked me @oak shell can you tell him that

[next pendant]

large 1550 M N/A large ~10 GB 1x

[next pendant]

good lord you fuckin stans are ridiculous

[pliant blaze]

dumbass. people already set it up for you. its so smiple even a fucktard like you could use it

no wonder nobody likes you

[next pendant]

I tested whisper and its deafer than me and google's auto transcribe. fail.

🤢

might as well just use chrome's feature lol. all that for nothing openai, all that for nothing.

makes sense. google has tons of video to learn from. openai is some rando garbage

that you fucks defend.

[pliant blaze]

"openai is rando garbage" do you know who created chatgpt that you so overly worship?

lmfao

do your fucking research

bro thought he was smart here

[oak shell]

It's 1.5 GB

Cloud-based environments are free for that

I'm convinced you're just being retarded on purpose

Silly hacker, root is for admins

[pliant blaze]

agree

[errant mountain]

chatgpt, do they retire the standard voice model? Because I heard they wanna do it on 9th?

But it is 10th now, so what happened to you guys? I am still using the standard one for now.

[bold knoll]

Id throw my kidneys at models that can do higher order reasoning by default and spit out answers that goes beyond surface ressoning than whatever rlhf people threw at

[next pendant]

im convinced youre a shill who wants me to use a shitty model that can't beat google

[oak shell]

Yet you're still here

[next pendant]

Yet you're still sama dick riding

its crazy. do you get commission?

[wet copper]

the technology will be worth much more than your kidneys when someone makes a legit breakthrough of that scale, that's for sure

[next pendant]

does sama know you're alive shilling his shitty whisper model?

[oak shell]

I mean: It sounds like you know what you're talking about. You don't need our help

Use Google's APIs

[next pendant]

i mean you ignored the part where its bad at transcription and start crying that I shouldnt be here

like an expert sama dick rider

[oak shell]

can't beat Google

https://tenor.com/view/tyler-lie-lol-not-telling-the-truth-that-was-a-lie-gif-13885912

[next pendant]

we're talking about transcription of videos, arent we? so chatgpt entirely must bad? strong logic

i can see why you shill for ai so hard, you've abdicated all your thinking to it

can't meme your way out of this one sama dick rider

[pliant blaze]

holy fuck this guy is retarded as a rock

[oak shell]

I shill Google, I'm just telling you you can't figure Whisper out

[next pendant]

naw you're shilling chatgpt. clearly. stop dick riding.

[oak shell]

Ok, I'm chilling ChatGPT
Which isn't Whisper

[pliant blaze]

@oak shell honestly just ignore this guy theres no way hes not trolling

[oak shell]

[next pendant]

oh its not chatgpt. its openai technically right nerd

[oak shell]

[next pendant]

does it dispute youre not sama dick riding?

[pliant blaze]

someones upset

KEKW

[next pendant]

fat bitch is still here I see

i have her completlely blocked tho. she's dying to get in the convo. but honestly should just go for a walk

[oak shell]

All this used more energy than accessing Whisper via an OpenAI Azure service (no download)

Kek

[bold knoll]

I can see it being completely doable with enough chaining if it has right rlhf on what it needs to do

[next pendant]

bro can't read. already tested whisper, its trash lol.

google has higher accuracy

[pliant blaze]

so try parakeet

[bold knoll]

Except every response at that point would require a reasoning model and it would burn through tokens

[oak shell]

Glad you figured it out

[next pendant]

glad you can read now. can i recommend other resources to improve your skills?

[bold knoll]

That would depend on what goalpost of accuracy you speak of

[next pendant]

whisper is dog shit at accents

sorry to give @oak shell the dick rider the bad news.

[pliant blaze]

https://huggingface.co/spaces?q=transcription
woah imagine if there were hundreds of things dedicated to transcription that were all free to use and literally one search away

[bold knoll]

That sounds qualitative, not quantitative. LLM benchmarks are, far as ive seen, quantitative

[pliant blaze]

@dark void can we ban this troll. he does nothing but insult everyone and not listen to us.

[bold knoll]

If you can find a study benchmarking "accents" that would be a better goalpost

[next pendant]

so you need a study? lol

god you dick riders are unbelievable

[bold knoll]

Never said i need one, but preferably youd cite a study if you were to argue that a model performs better at x task

[oak shell]

I didn't like Whisper

[next pendant]

so you think im arguing with these fuckin retards for nothing. k

[bold knoll]

That would be a far more irrefutable ammo for discussion too

[dark void]

u gotta chill. damn

[bold knoll]

Because now someone has to refute you back with a study saying otherwise

[dark void]

if you wanna be toxic do it in #💬off-topic please

[delicate frost]

got a question- looking to move a bunch of my conversations into obsidain..anyone recommend a tool for export?

[pliant blaze]

there should be an "export data" which I think includes chats

yeah it includes account data and chats

[delicate frost]

yeah but it's not very structured.......its one giant blob

[pliant blaze]

oh

[delicate frost]

im looking for specific chats only.

[pliant blaze]

ohh

I'm not sure then sorry

[delicate frost]

thanks tho

[modest rock]

I'm sure this is a common issue, but my chats keep freezing when I submit a question to ChatGPT. I have to close the app entirely and re-open it. Any suggestions on how to work around that?

May be important to note that I'm a heavy technical user

Does anyone know anyone buying high end GPUs rn? DM me

[pliant blaze]

1. what gpus
2. what price

[wet copper]

zero self promotions or commercial promotions. First and only warning.

[pliant blaze]

skamerr 🚨

[wet copper]

it does seem like nothing, yes. who cares, find a better service, demonstrate how good it is with any independently verifiable source, then say 'hey look I'm very smart' and everyone will have to agree with you, and they'll probably even clap

[pliant blaze]

he got kicked/banned

[wet copper]

good I really didn't want to talk to him anyway

[pliant blaze]

yeah he was an annoying prick

[tame blade]

Guys why is ChatGPT web has a terrible delay when I type stuff

Now it’s really slow

The phone version works fine, but the website nah

[limber parcel]

the convo is already too long, start a new chat.

[tame blade]

Nvm I solved the issue

[wanton raven]

how

[tame blade]

Installed brave browser instead of using chrome

[wanton raven]

that's just clearing your cache the hard way

[safe smelt]

you need to install vivaldi 😊

[tame blade]

What’s that? A browser?

[tame blade]

I tried it on chrome, but it was still no use

[safe smelt]

yes

[tame blade]

👍

[errant mountain]

chatgpt, do they retire the standard voice model? Because I heard they wanna do it on 9th?

Any updates?

[safe smelt]

They just updated the model from gpt-4o-realtime to gpt-realtime, and gonna 'retire' the old one

it is still the same, just slightly updated and renamed

[mortal orbit]

Do anyone have problem about why other accounts have 5 hours of time limit while mine have 24 hours?

[safe smelt]

@errant mountain And if you are referring to this...

that's even older, not sure who was even using that anymore though. It was certainly not on chatgpt website anymore

That seems to be gone yesterday lol

mini-preview is still there

Yes

[mortal orbit]

Hey @safe smelt can i ask?

[safe smelt]

No way you were 'joking' and you got at least some of the karma for it then LOL

But no, fbi or cops won't be at your door. It's an automated flagging system that doesn't involve authorities or anyone else besides OpenAI

[mortal orbit]

Why am i being ignored....

[safe smelt]

yeah just ask, no need to ask for asking lol

[mortal orbit]

Do anyone have problem about why other accounts have 5 hours of time limit while mine have 24 hours?

[safe smelt]

Hm did you spam it or use very extensively? I think you can be hit with fair-use cap which is well beyond the usual caps people are talking about

[mortal orbit]

Uhh what do you mean?

[safe smelt]

Are you getting this limit for default free chatgpt model? If yes then you have sent a ton of messages and you hit their fair-use limits

Nothing is completely unlimited there, 'unlimited' = fair use limit

[mortal orbit]

Ahhh like how often i use the chatgpt?

I guess everyday i guess....

[safe smelt]

No

[golden tartan]

y'all I got timed out in some server because people don't understand how to treat gpt

so I left it

[safe smelt]

how many messages in 1 hour?

[mortal orbit]

Uhhh

[safe smelt]

you don't get limited for 24 hours if you just 'use it every day' lol

[golden tartan]

24 hours I thought was for images

that's how it is for me anyway

not for chatting lol

[safe smelt]

He didn't say it's images though... just limited. 💀

[golden tartan]

can I be real with you for a sec?

[safe smelt]

?

[golden tartan]

Do you think it's weird to yell at gpt if it's being non compliant?

and/or treat it like a person?

[mortal orbit]

I think 48

[safe smelt]

Yes. But name calling can sometimes help to drive the point home though lmao

[mortal orbit]

Or more

[golden tartan]

these dudes on this other server were immediately thinking I'd be doing that to like RL ppl

[safe smelt]

is it a limit for just images or all messages?

[mortal orbit]

Honestly idk how it get 5 to 24 hours

[golden tartan]

like I'm an idiot that doesn't know the difference

[mortal orbit]

All message

[safe smelt]

Yeah then you are spamming it too much. Like 1 message per minute + is a lot

[mortal orbit]

What do i do to lower the time limit?

[safe smelt]

Buy their sub if you want better limits

Or use it less, ask 2 things in one message rather than sending 2 short messages etc

[mortal orbit]

Uhh already did but it's basic since i got it for free in sign up

But didn't pay it....i guess I'll have to save some money

[safe smelt]

If it's free I do not think this counts as a sub lol

you are on free plan

[mortal orbit]

I guess that's the one

[safe smelt]

Yeah

sub = monthly plan, usually with a monthly payment as well (unless special promo or a discount etc)

[hexed grotto]

Hey guys, how are you? I'm new here

[mortal orbit]

Sooo reason is i just spam too much

[safe smelt]

Yes

[mortal orbit]

I guess I'll save some money to pay the plus

[safe smelt]

Hi new, I'm guys

[mortal orbit]

Hi here, im hey

[hexed grotto]

I'm guys, how are new?

[mortal orbit]

I'm are, it's Gus

[errant mountain]

No I talk about the standard voice

Like you press voice and then you talk with push to talk (without colors)

It was supposed to get retired on 9th September

We have the 10th now. Nothing happened so far. Did they change their mind or what's up.

[golden tartan]

tbf it's still super early

for me anyway

nm idk what I meant

[errant mountain]

Dude

Do they still plan to retire it. I hope not standard should stay it's sm better than advanced. Streamlined. Simple. Efficient. No fluff.

[safe smelt]

that's what voice is under the hood on chatgpt

They were never going to retire the feature itself LOL

[errant mountain]

They were retiring the standard voice.

On the 9th September but they saw this was a bad idea.

Thankfully. Advanced is really bad imo

[safe smelt]

uhh. Yeah smth like that. Wasn't using the standard voice a lot personally

[bold river]

@pliant blaze so how do you compare your pixel 10 pro to the iPhone 17 series

[summer fulcrum]

https://www.techradar.com/ai-platforms-assistants/chatgpt/openai-brings-back-standard-voice-mode-after-chatgpt-users-pushed-back-hard

WE WON!

For now

I'm so glad it's staying.

However, if there's anything else you'd like to talk about, just let me know! 😂

All jokes aside, I also can't wait till they fix Advanced Voice Mode.

[lost wyvern]

Does anybody wants gpt plus for a cheaper price dm

[sinful nebula]

ChatGPT breaking? nahhhhhhh 🤣

[wet copper]

They weren't entirely clear on this, tbh, my impression was that they'd sort of blend it into advanced voice. Personally I'd like to see higher quality "mostly-offline" voice models though I never really use voice

It's way too slow to talk to your phone and kinda weird to me, but eh, my mom loves it

[pliant blaze]

it's much better than any iPhone

[rigid junco]

is chatgpt plus worth it? currently got perplexity pro

[errant mountain]

it is more authentic imo

advanced voice is like call center shi

[wet copper]

Odd word to describe a robit

I didn't like most of the voices on either mode frankly

There were only one or two I could even tolerate

[wet copper]

If you use it enough that you keep running into limits, of course it is. If not, then of course not lmao

[errant mountain]

advanced voics sounds like me a digrunted customer/call center agent

the standard voice is natural imo

[wet copper]

Unless it has a strong Indian accent, I can't buy it as a call center agent

[errant mountain]

American moment

[rigid junco]

i see

[wet copper]

Lol I mean what answer do you want? You can see the feature set, it's only worth it if you're a heavy user. It's cheap enough that I'd say try it for a month, drop it after that if you don't use it

[rigid junco]

true alr, perplexity pro doesnt seem that good

[wet copper]

Maybe you start making a ton of photos or using thinking mode a lot. Or maybe you just start using voice on your phone all the time and realize "oh cool, I can just sit here and shoot the shit for an hour with plus"

Free tier has a surprising amount of functionality though, so it's all case by case. I've been subbed for several years and don't always make good use of the sub, but when I use it for work I'm I go pretty hard. I probably should ask them to pay for it

Then again I have free API access through work 😭 so I don't have much of an excuse

[rigid junco]

are u sub to pro or plus?

[upbeat bone]

i have a journal. is there an ai that can scan it completely and analyze my life xd
