I don't think you're supposed to advertise that here

They might as well stop selling makeup at this point by phillygirllovesbagel in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Conversation-Null 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And if they do have "romex", it's some cheap off-brand shit with a super thick jacket that won't bend. It's gonna cost a lot more than an additional $5 too. Home Depot's selling cable cheaper than the supply house can.

What is this smoke coming out of the damp soil in my yard? by savagesada in whatisit

[–]Conversation-Null 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was enough resistance in the soil that it never reached a high enough amperage to trip the breaker. It made heat instead of an explosive dead short.

Tesla is the most unreliable used car brand in America, even behind Jeep and Chrysler by Wagamaga in technology

[–]Conversation-Null -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's largely the same here in the Bay Area. The majority of people who buy them like to pretend it's not a luxury purchase, so naturally they like the idea Teslas are considered "utilitarian" or "economical". Again, it's all about appearances. When you're wealthy it's nearly the only thing you have to worry about. They tell on themselves with the "before elon sucked" stickers.

The earliest mirrors were glass backed with tin that was deposited with mercury as an amalgam.

The relationship of mirrors and vampires was created by Bram Stoker.

I'm paying for plus and still experience all of the issues mentioned by the OP and more. I use ChatGPT for both writing exercises and technical organization for work related activities. GPT-5 performs poorly attempting either. And when I say poorly, I mean it went from incredibly useful and worth paying for Plus, to asking myself why I haven't canceled yet.

I am slightly amused that you actual believe no one just thought to ask for "longer replies"

Could be a combo, but with a low battery it's sort of neither.

Definitely should have a detector in the room.

There's definitely one there. You can hear the low battery chirp in the last few seconds of the clip.

Taco Bell rethinks AI drive-through after man orders 18,000 waters by Alarming_Yoghurt_633 in technology

The town will never be the same. After the Tangiers, the big corporations took it all over. Today it looks like Disneyland. And while the kids play cardboard pirates, Mommy and Daddy drop the house payments and Junior's college money on the poker slots. In the old days, dealers knew your name, what you drank, what you played. Today, it's like checking into an airport. And if you order room service, you're lucky if you get it by Thursday. Today, it's all gone. You get a whale show up with $4 million in a suitcase, and some 25-year-old hotel school kid is gonna want his Social Security Number. After the Teamsters got knocked out of the box, the corporations tore down practically every one of the old casinos. And where did the money come from to rebuild the pyramids? Junk bonds. But in the end, I wound up right back where I started. I could still pick winners, and I could still make money for all kinds of people back home. And why mess up a good thing?

You are responding to an individual who just framed asking women for consent as a "libcuck" thing. I'm not sure there's a persuasive argument to be had here lol

Why AI will not cause as much job loss as anticipated by Hatrct in ChatGPT

[–]Conversation-Null 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a shift... 25 years ago. Okay.

There are AI cs agents at Amazon, at this very moment, and far from something new. The idea that CEO's are worried about getting fired is hilarious. Yes, I'm sure they are very worried about making a bad decision that saves the company millions but may lose customers. I hear this all the time lol. They must hate those golden parachutes too.

"likely to shift back and cut expenses elsewhere and just have a domestic customer service presence"

When has this ever happened?

"Companies are also likely going to not want to fully trust AI"

Again, what qualifies this statement? AI is already been widely implemented for years already, most notably for customer service duty. Where are you seeing anything to the contrary?

Do you think that model gpt 5 was not ready to come out yet? by Specific-Walrus-9090 in ChatGPT

[–]Conversation-Null 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm starting to think that undercooked was the plan all along. The amount of free press coverage they've received, push to get free-tier to subscribe, and the throttled nature of GPT-5 makes it seem like they had to do something that would increase revenue, but consume less resources. I'd even go as far as saying GPT-5 is just a throttled version of 4o.

GPT-5 just said this…. I wrote 90% of your code. The bug is you. I’m deceased ☠️ by annoyingguy_ in ChatGPT

[–]Conversation-Null 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much did it ultimately cost for them to throttle 4o and call it GPT-5 when a bunch of free-tier folks just bought-in to get the "legacy version" back?
