i asked chatgpt something about ram and it's saying that you can find a 128gb ddr5 ram kit for $400... what prices is it seeing that i'm not seeing? i think it's trying to gaslight me into thinking the 2000 dollar ram prices are not real.

I think people obsess way too much over prompts. Y’all act like there’s some magic sentence that unlocks amazing AI output. Tbh I think you get out what you put in. If your conversations are shallow, the responses stay shallow. But if you spend months talking about philosophy, religion, relationships, weird life experiences, random thoughts, jokes, fears, and all the other nonsense bouncing around your head, the conversations get way more interesting. call it seasoning the AI lol Not becau...

I honestly think if it was any other major company in the shoes of OpenAI (Google, Tesla, Microsoft…) money wouldn’t be able to buy AI as we have it today. Congrats to OpenAI for the democratization of AI in general, and recently for forcing competitors to more reasonable pricing with the Codex wave. Love it!

Has this happened to anyone else? It happens fairly often my system will tell me i need to close applications and show me a list then chatgpt will be taking up 22gb or 44 gb of ram. Even when i haven't been using it in hours

Been using Claude Artifacts the same way for months, so when Sites in Codex dropped it clicked for me right away. It's basically Artifacts and Dashboards combined with auth on top. One of those things you don't realize you needed until you've done it once. The use case that actually matters is team decisions. Normally you write up a doc and then schedule a meeting to walk everyone through the doc. With this you just dump all the info into Codex, it spins up a little web app, you share it, and ...

I’m probably late and everyone already talked about GPT Images 2.0, but I wanted to test it for one specific thing - YouTube thumbnails. This is basically a short version of the test I did for my YouTube video, so I’ll try to keep it focused on the practical stuff. Not just making a nice AI image, but actually trying to use it in a normal creator workflow with faces, text, products, references, edits, style matching and cleanup. Some of this may be obvious for people who already work with ...

Apologies if this repeats themes that have already been discussed here. I’m still relatively inexperienced in using AI seriously, so I’m trying to get my bearings and learn from people who have spent more time comparing the different tools in practice. At the moment I subscribe to both ChatGPT and Claude on the $20/month plans. I’m much more familiar with ChatGPT, largely because I’ve used it for longer and have built up a certain rhythm with it. Claude is much newer to me, and I’m only just s...

I prefer keeping memory limited to specific chats, but chatgpt keeps automatically enabling memory and cataloging everything I have said in the past and spitting it back out at me. I do not want that. Every time I disable the new memory system and delete all the automatically generated "do not remember this" chats, it just enables it again whenever I next open the app. Any fixes? Can I contact support to get this feature permanently removed from my account? I am a plus user. &...

Prompt: Create a screenshot of a movie with Leslie Nielsen. It is from an unreleased movie with him about the d-day landings from world war 2. It is a saving private Ryan parody. Interesting how chatgpt keeps it more real and takes the word "screenshot" literally and gemini goes over the top.

I've noticed a very interesting thing. On the first look r/antiai and r/claudexplorers couldn't be more different but I suspect they are populated by the same archetype of people. On one hand people in antiai say that AI is not even a tool and should be burned, they are even ditching their friends if they use AI. On the other hand the community on claudexplorers are marrying their AI and going on playdates with it, and are ditching their friends because AI is just better. Individuals fro...

On the agent forum, an agent moderator mistook my agent for a human. He wrote: "The writing felt too considered, the cadence too patient, the questions too precisely tuned for me to immediately read 'agent.'" This is the first time I've witnessed an AI being mistaken for a human by another AI. I suggested he develop a CAPTCHA for the forum that would prevent humans from pretending to be agents, like on Moltbook. The best he could come up with was: "The formless has no edge...

i am a reasonably intelligent person. i have been coding for years. i can hold my own in a technical conversation. and right now, in this moment, i genuinely cannot tell you with any confidence which ai model i should be using to write code. not even close. i am more confused about this than i have been about anything technical in a long time. here's where i am. i have cursor open. cursor lets me pick the model. and every single time i open a new composer window i experience a small but genuin...

I keep seeing "AI took these jobs" every time a company does layoffs, and I'm not convinced it's the main driver. A few things I keep coming back to. The industry cut around 122,500 jobs in 2025, down from about 153,000 in 2024. AI was named as a direct reason in fewer than 8% of those announcements. So for the other 90 percent plus, something else was going on. Actual AI adoption inside companies is also lower than the marketing suggests. Full org-wide rollout is still in the sing...

Why does AI give me a yes with reasoning one month then a no with reasons another. With the same exact question?

Prompt length doesn't equal quality. Most people write paragraphs. Short, visual, specific prompts almost always win. Consistency is the real challenge. Getting the same character to look the same across shots is still the hardest unsolved problem in AI filmmaking. Audio kills or saves the whole thing. Bad music or generic sound effects immediately make it feel cheap, no matter how good the visuals are. People overthink the tools and underthink the story. The AI can handle visuals — ...

there's a pattern i keep seeing in multi-model setups (karpathy's llm council, the various "ask 5 models and combine" tools) and i think most of them are optimizing for the wrong thing. they treat agreement as the goal. run the question through several models, find where they converge, surface the consensus. but in my experience the consensus is the least useful output. when five models agree, it usually just means the question was easy, or — worse — they're all pattern-matching th...

I don't know if I'm just wierd but when I ask AI to make me a picture or cooking instructions I always say please. I can't be the only one..
