Notice how at no point does she mention which model she’s using. No concept that she’s dealing with a piece of technology that might behave differently from other models. The “I miss 4o” posting was actually encouraging in that respect.

the /r/chatgpt AMA is mostly people begging for gpt-4o back because of it's personality. really not what i expected!

"no way to get him back". there's almost a perfect Venn diagram overlap between "people who yearn for 4o's sycophancy" and "people who lack the sophistication to use the API".

I was once in “talking stage” with a woman for a month. We met in Florida (both just visiting) then went to opposite ends of the country, and it wasn’t until several weeks later that she told me she wanted to buy a plane ticket to visit me.

I found Gary Larson’s twitter account.
And in one moment, Gurg the Prankster would set human advancement back another 5000 years.

Remember when Android versions had fun names like “ice cream sandwich” and “Jelly Bean” and “KitKat?”. It was easy to understand the alphabetical progression. You didn’t have to explain to your mom why o3 was newer and more advanced than 4o, or what “GPT” stood for.

I relate to the feeling of “too busy to feel anxious”. how many workaholics start this way.
@bashu_thanks distraction, you can’t think about your anxiety if you’re focused on something else (requires you to be thinking about something that will require some medium degree of brainpower).

I find it funny that the joke is “these are laughably low standards for a woman to have” but the $55k income requirement still disqualifies the majority of men
ladies, do not hit unless he passes the “55 Challenge”. - 5’5”.- $55,000 income.- 550 credit score.- under 55 years old.

I’ve known for a long time that Graeber was mistaken in his conclusions, but I did not stop to consider that he might just be constantly lying.
Graeber claims on page 308 that the black death caused cities to default on their bonds in the 1400s, but he does not cite any source, and as far as i can find online, municipal bonds weren't invented at the time.

This is such a funny post. “I know a kink researcher and Sankey diagram enthusiast who showers monthly; she’s usually known pseudonymously by a mononym which I will refrain from sharing here to protect her privacy”.
I know a lady who's doing sex work in order to pay for having her eggs frozen. Weird how society and technology have gone all the way around to people having sex in order to reproduce.

This gets even more hilarious when you realize that this happened in winners bracket, meaning he’s still in the tournament! He gets to keep playing!.

Real contrition comes slowly. (I think most people would agree -- when someone commits a truly monstrous act, a fast apology is rarely a sincere apology!). But in order for contrition to germinate and eventually overcome "the monster," you must keep "the monster" fenced in.

Perhaps the most persuasive argument I have read against this view is "The Way of Kings":. - Habit precedes "heartfelt change".- Following a pre-existing "moral code" is like borrowing someone else's integrity (and leads to real integrity).
if you need religion to be a good decent person, then you are not a good person in the first place.
