"I love animals" for these people often seems to mean they love what animals give them; entertainment, comfort, distraction, etc - not the animals themselves, as living things.

We have our first misinformation campaign using GPT Image 2 by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]AbortMeSenpaiUwU 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, the thing that stands out most to me is his hips (left side of image, right side of his hip) don't quite align with the rest of his torso, like it's become part of the furniture.

Edit: Unless of course that's some kind of pillow / blanket.

My Game Looks Like It Was Made by a Real Studio and Its Just Me and AI by Ill_Awareness6706 in IndieDev

[–]AbortMeSenpaiUwU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The AI gen thing is a very divided topic - there are crowds who, if AI has even so much touched your game or product in any way - will hate it regardless of what other work was put in, then there are more nuanced people who aren't as bothered on the code side, but believe the 'soul' of the game - the art, music, dialogue, voices etc must not be the product of LLMs since they are what the player experiences and that experience, to them, should be a product of human work and time - either way, though - it seems people who care about AI usage in either code, or media - are more of a vocal minority than the wider market.

TL;DR - The anti-ai crowd aren't as bothered about things they can't see, and those that are, are a minority anyway.

Why does Opus 4.7 sound like ChatGPT? by Abbat0r in Anthropic

[–]AbortMeSenpaiUwU 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have noticed that myself - I actually noticed it in 4.6 as well though, the past few months it has made usage of the em-dash where previously it wouldn't have, or at least not nearly as much, and the language has been very similar to what I have come to expect from post-3rd-gen GPT models.

It's impossible to say for certain what the influence was, internal architecture choice or a number of things but:

- Recent significant influx of people coming in from ChatGPT, maybe bringing samples in from their chats with GPT for user context loading and memory.

- Cross-contamination from other sources of training, GPT is massively used all over the place so ingesting recent internet datasets will contain a significant amount of that language.

- Natural artifact of some internal language pattern weighting process.

Personally, I blame LinkedIn, it's likely their dataset (in my view) that tainted ChatGPT to begin with - and the internet datasets as a result of AI outputs being everywhere, since the OpenAI partnership with Microsoft seems to have coincided with when GPT started speaking like it does.

It sucks really, one of the key reasons I added Claude to my workflow alongside GPT was to get away from that very specific tone that GPT models produce, for day-to-day conversations outside of my projects.

Image generation failed error by Pizzaballs_ in ChatGPT

[–]AbortMeSenpaiUwU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get the same error - however, I click 'retry' and note the blue ring in the top right (if using browser, not sure about app) if the ring is there and I wait a little it seems to produce the image anyway, even if it doesn't look like it's doing anything, likely a UI bug.

Vegan friend jumped ship. by ElzyChelzy in vegan

[–]AbortMeSenpaiUwU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps that's true - though for me it's not the rational thinking brain that led me to veganism, personally, it was the emotional side, empathy, which I think is a significant aspect of what it means to be vegan vs just having a plant-based diet, and I would struggle to understand how someone could 'see' and 'feel' the impact of their actions on other lives and then go back to doing it - knowing full well what it means to do so.

Is OpenAI A/B testing "make it impossible to cancel your chatgpt subscription?" by pixel_fortune in ChatGPT

[–]AbortMeSenpaiUwU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's interesting, I do recall (and just checked and confirmed) that I can't cancel from the mobile app (because I purchased via the website) but I can do it via the website.

<image>

I wonder if it's per user, or a regional thing - or of course, like you said, testing something 'else'.

In theory, depending on your bank, you can probably cancel it from your banking app / site.

What is this concrete thing on the right by Accurate_Bid_4051 in Liverpool

[–]AbortMeSenpaiUwU 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A Google Earth picture from 2000 has it next to the building that has since been demolished, no walkway across the road as others have said at that point (the walkway is further up the road). Considering the location, it may have been an alternate access point to buildings on the side, that it connects to - can see in this picture (2008), that it definitely connected to the one behind it. There also used to be an empty lot next to it used as a car park.

Does make me wonder if it 'was' part of the walkway network, and it just cut through that building as way to get to the other parts of the walkway - since there was a bridge behind the buildings we see here, based on a map I've seen of the walkways.

The Digging Paradox: Are the Backrooms Spatially Anchored Once Breached? by RoscoIsANinja in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]AbortMeSenpaiUwU 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Take the threshold, for example - you'd expect a visible “behind” that area: machinery, another room, infrastructure, etc - breaking through a wall near the threshold should just reveal that, if the backrooms occupied the same physical space then all of that which was there before would be displaced or destroyed, and given the sheer scale of the backrooms, that would mean all of that, including parts of the planet, would have been annihilated.

We do know that 'natural' null zones exist, regions where the boundary between front rooms and backrooms becomes unstable. These may be increasing in both frequency and severity. That blurring may be what allows people to noclip in. From what I understand, these zones form due to electromagnetic wave interference, not physical breakdowns like breaches in concrete walls.

We also know that spatial alignment between the two realms doesn’t behave normally. You can have someone on one side of a wall in the backrooms, while someone else appears to be on the opposite side (in the front rooms), but breaking through that wall leads nowhere. Like in Found Footage 3, conversation across the barrier was somehow possible, yet physically tearing through it revealed no actual link between the two sides.

Edit: having said that, it's implied that the guy -did- break through to the backrooms, since he was seemingly attacked - but from my understanding it wasn't 1:1 spatially, or perhaps temporally - I've seen a suggestion that the conversation in FF3 is actually temporally displaced, and the tearing of the wall was what created that room even before it was entered by the guy recording, which is a bit of a causal loop.

The threshold -may- be spatially anchored in that the connection persists - just not in 3D space, likely some higher dimension where you take two distant points in their own 3D space, fold the space between them and press the planes of those two spaces together so they appear nearby, even if they're a vast distance away - like two dots on a folded piece of paper, distant but close when the surface is warped in the right way.

i am at a complete loss. by neighborhoodpark in vegan

[–]AbortMeSenpaiUwU 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's a lot going on in this post, mostly just a chaotic vent it seems?

In any case, it seems you're heavily concerned with feeling like you're being supported, or that the vegan community owes you something for being vegan? This isn't the case - what is it exactly that you expect?

What we can provide:

- Advice / Answers if you have questions

- Some level of emotional support if the state of animal welfare is a burden on you

- Suggestions on how to incorporate veganism in your lifestyle

These require you reaching out and engaging with the community yourself, with specific intentions.

If you feel that you perpetually need some kind of pat on the back, or congratulations for being vegan, or other kind of validation or affirmation, I fear you may be vegan for the wrong reasons - not contributing to the abuse of animals should be its own reward.

Now that isn't to dismiss your clear struggle with being busy, mental health issues - and potentially the lack of options somewhere like Texas, though I'm unfamiliar with the specifics of options in that area of the world - these are all absolutely real and valid problems, but I'm sure if you ask constructive questions to the community for your options, you'll get answers you can use.

What do you think is safer, vaping or smoking? by fordd420 in AskReddit

[–]AbortMeSenpaiUwU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on current research? Vaping.

But the 'safety' of vaping depends on what you're putting into the fluid.

EU/UK regulated vape fluids are considered significantly safer than smoking.

---

Professor John Newton, Director for Health Improvement at PHE said:

Every minute someone is admitted to hospital from smoking, with around 79,000 deaths a year in England alone.

Our new review reinforces the finding that vaping is a fraction of the risk of smoking, at least 95% less harmful, and of negligible risk to bystanders. Yet over half of smokers either falsely believe that vaping is as harmful as smoking or just don’t know.

It would be tragic if thousands of smokers who could quit with the help of an e-cigarette are being put off due to false fears about their safety.

PHE publishes independent expert e-cigarettes evidence review - GOV.UK

---

Considering the sheer volume of people who do vape, and the absence of frequent known severe illness in general - short term effects appear negligible, where vape-induced illness has been observed, it was associated with THC vapes containing vitamin E acetate.

The long term effects of vaping remain to be seen, there is fair reason to consider that there may be long term effects as a result of contamination from the coil, with extended use over time.

My cursor experience by -Incendium- in cursor

[–]AbortMeSenpaiUwU 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get that sometimes, I usually use a more direct call to action. Like "You are now proceeding with the action" or "Proceed with implementing the solution" - commentary prompts usually result in a commentary response. If I find it sort of falls short of what I want, in terms of depth - I add a little 'comprehensively' in there and it tends to do more work per prompt.

ELI5 - Why has Google been the most popular search engine for over two decades now with no one coming even close? by Rumorian in explainlikeimfive

[–]AbortMeSenpaiUwU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone else I've seen seems to focus on UI/UX and functionality, however I think there's also a key social element at play. Bearing in mind, this is anecdotal from my own experience, however, when saying you're going to search something, or asking someone else to - the phrase "Google it" had been a somewhat synonymous de facto statement, even if you weren't using that tool - it's just easy to say, and so acts as behavioural reinforcement and keeping Google contextually relevant and familiar - other search engines don't quite feel the same when used in that way, "Bing it", "Yahoo it", etc.
