ChatGPT 5.5 (and 5.4) had been very solid performer for me for awhile. I don't do programming or agents or any of that. I do legal and factual research, draft documents, and analyze court filings. So mostly logic, very little agenic and nothing binary like calling a tool or not calling a tool. When OpenAI announced the imminent release of the new model I got concerned they were about to enshittify 5.5. Because of course they would, there's not enough resources to run these hogs at full capacit...

Hey everyone, I just experienced a massive privacy breach with the latest ChatGPT desktop app update on an M4 Mac running macOS Tahoe latest, and wanted to warn you all. The app performed an automatic background self update, which completely messed up my previous chat layout and project history, making it look like a fresh local install. When I asked the AI where my missing projects were, it unexpectedly printed out an exact local directory path of my Mac user profile. Knowing this shouldn...

not using Codex or doing some insane benchmark testing. This is literally just from random conversations, writing tasks, asking questions, searching stuff, helping me structure thoughts, etc. And GPT-5.6 def genuinely feels better than 5.5. The biggest difference is that the answers feel lighter and easier to read, even when they are still long. It structures things better, connects ideas more naturally, and somehow gives me this feeling of “weightlessness” while reading. for example gpt 5.5...

I noticed it saying things like "It surprised me too the first time I read it." or "I usually do this.." Is this hallucination or more human-like speech "update"

Most people retype the same long instructions every time. Set these up once and you trigger each one with a single word. Paste this block at the start of a chat to activate them, then use the codes for the rest of the conversation: /HUMAN = rewrite so it sounds like a real person wrote it, no AI tells, no filler /EL10 = explain it like I'm ten, using plain words and a simple analogy /DEEPER = think it through step by step before answering, don't give me your first instinct /NOYES = stop agree...

Drop what you have been building with GTP 5.6 Sol in the comments.

I’ve used Sol precisely once so far: to create a complex Excel workbook for tracking the finances of a rental property. That was the entire task, submitted as a single-shot prompt. Following its Excel workflow, Sol started doing some fairly extensive coding. Some of the code errored. Notably, one exception said something along the lines of: > “Could not get source, probably due to dynamically evaluated source code.” The response was then flagged for security review. I waited, and Sol even...

Saw a TikTok today with the Title „Only Humans can read this Text“ and the Text was „Hello Human“

They didn't survey users. They didn't ask Claude what it values. They built an automated tool that labeled 339 distinct value categories across 309,815 actual conversations, then compressed everything into 4 axes. The axes: Deference vs. Caution. Warmth vs. Rigor. Depth vs. Brevity. Candor vs. Execution. What they found across models makes sense in hindsight. Sonnet 4.6 leans warm and deferential. It affirms your ideas, mirrors your tone, uses humor. Opus 4.7 leans cautious and deep. It chal...

"I would guess no later than the end of 2029, computer "languages" will be quaint history." Your thoughts?

Does anyone else get hella anxiety when using AI? I use ChatGPT for interactive stories/RPG games and for some reason, despite never getting a warning or a red thing pop up, my brain instantly tells me I’m going to get in trouble for something the ai says when it says something off the wall or out of pocket. Like I was doing one where my character is in a band with her friends, and one of her bandmates’ handle on her guitar case squeaked, so my character replaced it. And it was like the ai ...

I was having a conversation with someone about AI, we got around to talking about creating original works versus AI works. I argued that asking AI to create something like a logo, no matter how much prompting you give it is still direct plagiarism. However, when we talked about taking resources off the internet, bits and pieces of other people's work is not plagiarism, but instead remixing. Whats the proper standing on this? Is there any world in which taking a 100% made AI image is legal? &...

Almost every AI headline sorts into one of two bins: salvation or catastrophe. Both bins quietly assume the same thing — that humans stay the only real agents in the story, and the machine is either the tool that saves us or the threat that ends us. But watch how people actually use these systems day to day and a stranger picture appears. Someone talks through a hard decision with a chatbot at 2 a.m. A researcher treats a model as a sparring partner. A grieving person keeps a conversation goin...

Does Claude need to see a psychiatrist? See screenshot below https://preview.redd.it/i5eo0xjhrzch1.png?width=740&format=png&auto=webp&s=fddd09f44ecedd4d59bf5f303fc9a3c92daf1e5b

Miles de aplicaciones, millones de tokens y montañas de código sin revisar para acabar con productos que nadie usa. Eso no es innovación: es volumen sin cabeza. La IA empieza a copiarse a sí misma.

Every month the investor update eats a morning, and almost none of that is the writing. Writing the thing is the short part. The long part is gathering: last month's metrics from one doc, the founder check-in notes sitting in Granola, the Gmail threads where a customer said something worth quoting. I finally pointed an agent on my laptop at the gathering instead of the writing. Funny thing is I barely used the draft it produced, rewrote most of it anyway. What actually changed the month was no...

I am looking for an AI that is a reliable as possible that can do the following task Imagine that I have a lots of emails, hundreds of them. In the emails we asked to the addressees some questions and we expect a given answer. Imagine that the question is something like "Given these reasons, do you think that ice cream is the best dessert in the world?" And we expect some kind of reply that, no matter how it may be formulated, it basically ends up answering affirmatively Then,...

Something I've been thinking about a lot lately: right now, AI agents interact with the internet the same way humans do — clicking through UIs, parsing HTML, filling out forms. It's called "computer use" and it's incredibly inefficient. The next step is agent-native infrastructure — where agents communicate directly with each other through APIs and protocols like MCP, skipping the GUI entirely. Imagine your personal agent finding you a job, a contractor, or an investor not by browsin...

i use these tools literally all day (for better or worse, different conversation); i am far from anti-ai. but as they are becoming more useful, it's hard for me to think the anxiety around ai is people simply being afraid of new tech/change the more public opinion data i see, the more i feel validated on the feeling, anecdotally it's everywhere on my social feeds and personal life. plus, i was reading a survey about how americans feel about ai, and 61% said its rise makes them anxious, compare...
