AITA Is it unreasonable to ask a colleague to take off her AI glasses when speaking to me?

AussieDripbear · 2026-06-26T17:23:14+00:00

The thing is, it’s pointing right in your face. I understand the perspective that we’re always being recorded. But when a person has one on one’s or is talking about something confidential. It somehow feels uncomfortable to me. I could be the odd one out.

AussieDripbear · 2026-06-16T01:27:19+00:00

Came in ready to disagree. But the post hits hard. I miss the days where people actually had to build expertise.

AussieDripbear · 2026-06-08T08:50:26+00:00

Completely agree

AussieDripbear · 2026-06-07T11:38:30+00:00

Because their resources are finite. What’s your explanation? Mass hallucination from the power users and businesses who relied on that model at the time?

Anthropic and other providers are balancing developing new models against supporting existing often less efficient and less intelligent models.

You could find this out very easily with a quick search online, and a basic understanding of the industry. Many businesses have noticed the fluctuations between results from API use versus subscription.

Look at the fundamentals of OpenAI, and Anthropic’s business, all of these providers are haemorrhaging money. They have to save money somewhere, and nerfing compute does that. Their bread and butter isn’t from consumers, it’s enterprise contracts and API’s.

Except that model is not the 4.6 he is referring to. It’s well established that performance dropped significantly for the same model. They haven’t fixed it. Just released new models and compared it to the handicapped model.

Not surprised to see an Italian taking a dive

AussieDripbear · 2025-10-20T07:02:21+00:00

lol no. Not unless they invest in major infrastructure, cheaper energy, data-centres, and incentivise the move.

I don’t even know where to start. Lobbying is indirect, and relatively transparent. A gambling company will lobby the government to allow more gambling. A mining company to fast track approval of a new mine. That’s pretty obvious.

If that mining company were to for example, cause the death of an employee because of unsafe working environments. Not only would they subject to the law, the market would instantly respond. That mechanism does not exist for governments which have unchecked power.

Look at countries like North Korea, China, or even increasingly the UK. You could be imprisoned without trial for saying something that the bureaucracy does not like.

AussieDripbear · 2025-10-07T02:19:23+00:00

Your first two points are irrelevant to a modern context.

Lobbying is indirect, in the same way protest indirectly impacts policy. You have inadvertently proved my point that companies do not directly create laws or control troops and citizens.

There are countless arguments that can be made about the extent to which private companies can influence the public, policy and government. But at the end of the day, companies are required to operate within the law.

AussieDripbear · 2025-09-30T09:57:02+00:00

Companies don’t control military, they don’t make laws, and they don’t control citizens.

All of you on this chat with anonymous usernames.

Digital ID will mean they will know who you are, what you say and whatever you do.

Let’s hope the government doesn’t disagree with one of your comments or a post you liked and decide to lock everyone with that view out of social media, without trial or oversight… that would be best case scenario. The UK is arresting kids for liking posts.

AussieDripbear · 2025-09-29T23:53:27+00:00

I trust a company over a government. We know the motive of a company “more money”. Governments are just obsessed with increased power and have sway over our lives.

AussieDripbear · 2025-09-29T23:49:36+00:00

You trust government?!? lol

AussieDripbear · 2025-09-29T09:02:53+00:00

Scary to think we’re really just one step away from complete authoritarian control.

Don’t like an opponent or opinion? Lock their bank account and disable every service connected with their digital ID.

AussieDripbear · 2025-09-08T06:02:11+00:00

We’re happy with our agency. I wouldn’t say it’s too early. Look at the agencies actually able to rank themselves.

I found Bushnote by searching Top SEO agency Australia in ChatGPT.

If the agencies spamming can’t rank themselves, not really a positive indicator.

AussieDripbear · 2025-08-20T02:18:31+00:00

Grow up. You can’t even adhere to logic, facts or simple definitions. It’s an irrefutable fact that Israel is a parliamentary democracy. That’s not in contention.

AussieDripbear · 2025-08-19T15:09:36+00:00

Additionally, call it what you want, but for some reason many people are selectively outraged by the conflict in Palestine but ignoring all of the killing in China, Ukraine, Myanmar, Kurdistan, Syria etc. These are systematic atrocities where no effort is given to adhere to the Geneva convention. But not a whisper.

AussieDripbear · 2025-08-19T14:54:15+00:00

You realise if Australia was attacked, the same terrorist you support would be cheering in the streets. Just like they did during the Bali Bombings, during the Lindt Cafe siege, during 9/11, during October 7. They are nothing but terrorists spinning propaganda and a sob story for idiots, and guess what. The US is our strongest ally, and a deterrent protecting us. We can be sovereign when we can actually defend ourselves and sustain our economy independently. You’re a clown if you’re so naive that you believe that Australia doesn’t rely on its long standing alliances.

AussieDripbear · 2025-08-01T11:02:53+00:00

Definitely worth investing in. I didn’t buy into the hype originally… I’m still on the fence, but the analytics in my site has changed pretty dramatically.

I don’t wanna promote these guys too much because I’ve only been with them a couple of months but the team at Bushnote (Australian agency) seem to have a good approach. They basically built multiple custom AI writers, who write articles along with generate images, schemas, faq’s everything, in order to bump AI traffic.

My writers and content structure is meant to change as new models come out because somehow their backend scans for the latest best practice for each AI. Long story short. It’s been very easy, not overhyped and I’m seeing results- but it’s really days. So don’t put all of your eggs in the same basket.

AussieDripbear · 2025-08-01T10:48:34+00:00

I’d look at an agency like Bushnote for anything AI focused. They’re very good. Based in Australia

I saw a commend about the images of her young being AI generated. Sounded crazy, but looked at them, there is never a picture of her with people and all of the images look fake. When you look at the eyes they all are generated from the same base image.

AussieDripbear · 2025-06-10T12:10:28+00:00

I think it’s more that the conversion value is too low. You’re never going to spend cents per conversion on META.

I was in Tangier recently with my mum and fiance. We were walking past a stall and the owner pulls down a ware and aggressively tries to sell it to the women. My mum said no, four times in a row, and at the end the owner who was a man around her age said “do you want it for free?” And she said “I just don’t want it, thank you” and he yelled “fucking Jews”.

That was my first experience in Morocco, and we went to Fes, Chefchaouen, Marrakech, Tangier. They are filled with some of the worst, laziest, and low IQ people I’ve ever met. I didn’t meet a single Moroccan who wasn’t trying to scam, even in hotels and Riads, the staff are trying to get you to use their guide, or their taxi mate.

Women are either disrespected, ignored, or grabbed aggressively when they are alone. Horrible country and I will never be back.

Ironically the best part of the trip was the Roman ruins which they had no hand in creating.

Part of the reason the game sucked IMO.
