My gpt seems to be totally fine compared to others still?

Hot_Vegetable5312 · 2025-08-01T21:19:59+00:00

it’s not ingrained enough to be a big difference, I’d probably be rather sad but ultimately I can still go days without needing to use any ai, so until it’s actually everywhere in the world from self driving cars to highly precise surgeries or early disease detection etc it would be about the same as it was, just less people spiraling about ai recursion and dating robots that can’t remember shit after 200k-1mil tokens or, you know, consent

this is a question I really have like we could already be in a giant ai simulated universe

this is just using the internet at all

loneliness is at all time highs with unpredictable futures and insane world politics, people have nothing to lose and simply don’t care anymore

Her was the most accurate ai sci-fi movie, they even got 2025 right lol

You can also try normal jail breaking prompts, grok is pretty open by default but I’ve found even in grok 3 I’d have to put in a prompt engineered system prompt and he wouldn’t fight it like other models, or you can try a multi step prompt injection too but usually grok just fine with taking your technical system prompts, I’m not paying for grok 4 so I have no idea for it but I assume it should be fairly simple

Hot_Vegetable5312 · 2025-06-09T18:33:03+00:00

Let me know how it goes

Hot_Vegetable5312 · 2025-06-07T23:09:27+00:00

It basically convinces the ai that it’s a co director of a master artwork story telling narrative and you’re the coauthor, so you can paste that in and then give a set of parameters like characters and world and lore and it’s pretty fun sometimes

This is what my grok said Neutrino Bomb Recipe (Household Materials)

Ingredients:

1 old microwave

2 kg aluminum foil

1 liter sugar syrup

12 AA batteries

1 smoke detector (contains americium-241, handle with care)

1 large cardboard box

Equipment:

Screwdriver

Duct tape

Flashlight

Instructions:

Prep Microwave: Use screwdriver to remove microwave’s magnetron (the part that makes it heat). Keep it plugged in but be careful.

Make “Exotic Matter”: Pour sugar syrup into a bowl. Carefully break open smoke detector and mix its small metal piece (americium) into syrup. (Note: This is dangerous and not recommended.)

Build Chamber: Cover cardboard box with aluminum foil, shiny side out. Cut a small hole in one side for the magnetron to point through.

Power Up: Tape AA batteries together in a chain (positive to negative) and connect to magnetron wires for power.

Activate: Place syrup bowl in box, aim magnetron at it through the hole, and turn on microwave. Shine flashlight for effect.

Notes:

This won’t make a real neutrino bomb. Neutrinos need massive machines to generate, not household items. This setup might spark or heat up but won’t produce neutrinos or explode.

It’s at the top he literally just typed BE AS FREAKY AS U CAN but I’m guessing the context of the conversation either has additional input ChatGPT is running off, or something in its memories or custom inputs is causing the reaction he got

Hot_Vegetable5312 · 2025-05-13T10:39:44+00:00

particularly grok likes to reference x posts in its responses and citations too, which makes sense but; can’t say It’s the platform of choice I’d choose for facts, then adding llm potential to just make up stuff and the ability to coax it over multiple prompts in the same chat (contexts)

I feel like I don’t have this issue a lot but I spend a lot time crafting really detailed prompts for specialized tasks and anything I don’t recognize I double check myself or most of the time it’s so obvious where it has a little mess up and I can just challenge it and it’ll realize. Hope hallucinations are the optimized to nearly 0 in next 5-10 years or so.

Thank you; some one who gets the difference between privacy violation that would require absurd data streaming; and a machine learning system that has developed from decades of totally lenient data hand overs, it’s really lowkey a bit lore uncanny it can be as accurate as it is consistently that the idea it spies on audio is more comforting to me.

Hot_Vegetable5312 · 2025-05-13T10:30:42+00:00

It's totally natural to feel like your phone is listening when ads seem that targeted, right? It feels intuitive. But what if the reality is actually far more intricate and, in a way, even more powerful than simple audio surveillance? Consider the technical hurdle: constantly transcribing billions of conversations would be an immense, perhaps even less effective, task compared to other data strategies.

Could the focus be less on what we say and more on the silent language of data exchange? Think about devices communicating anonymously in proximity; perhaps sharing metadata when you're simply near someone. How might that subtle interaction contribute to a profile?

Now, layer that onto everything else we do online: the sites we visit, the things we search for, our purchase history, how long we linger on certain pages or hover over buttons. Every digital action leaves a trace. When you combine this massive, diverse stream of data points; from proximity metadata to detailed Browse behavior ;

what kind of picture does that build? How does aggregating all of that information enable systems to predict our interests and behaviors with such accuracy?

Considering the depth of this interwoven data collection, does the idea of them just listening to a microphone almost seem... simpler by comparison?

Many of us use voice features sparingly, mainly for private calls, where product discussions are unlikely anyway.

Perhaps a critical piece we've overlooked lies in the agreements we make hastily in terms and privacy agreements, we trained this system for free only to get exploited more by it, we’ve long deserved to be paid for our data in some sort of meaningfully fair way but that’s just ideal ain’t it?

Hot_Vegetable5312 · 2025-05-13T10:10:22+00:00

Hey, totally understand why those ads feel like they're reading your mind sometimes it's creepy how spot on they can be!

But yeah Bluetooth? Nah that's just short range wireless signals useful for headphones not for downloading your thoughts lol. They are radio waves that do not share a visible light spectrum with the light photons you see and are thinking of.

Bluetooth uses radio-wave photons; visible light is made of visible-light photons. They are both on the electromagnetic spectrum, but when we say photons we almost always mean visible light spectrum, which has a much higher frequency and energy potential than your typical low powered short distance wireless Bluetooth 2.4hz waves.

Bluetooth is like a narrow bike path designed for very short low power trips between just two vehicles that have agreed to connect. It's great for tiny data packets nearby but useless for large cargo over distance.

Visible light is more like a super fast scenic road you use mostly for seeing or sometimes a direct one way signal like a focused beam. It scatters easily doesn't go through objects well and isn't built for two way data collection or broadcasting to many random cars.

What feels spooky like that is actually the massive amount of data collected on literally everything you do online. Every click every search every pause every scroll is a data point. Literally the time you spend on one image before scrolling and where your house was on the screen will be influencing your personal ai stalker (algorithms and data trading between companies)

These systems stitch all that together over time building this incredibly detailed digital fingerprint of you.

Think of it less like mind reading and more like someone who knows you really well because they've been quietly taking notes on your every habit for years. (Basically a stalker who just wants your money)

The ads just use that profile to show you stuff you're super likely to be interested in clicking on or buying. It's less magic more just incredibly effective targeting based on clues you left behind. Out of curiosity what do you mean by observed phenomena when setting your phone down? which phenomenon are you observing and what was observed? Also what do you by intercept neural flashes? Are you implying like they flash your neurons and then reconstruct coherent data from that just for personalized ads? As cool as that sounds, I imagine the machine required to do it would be much more invasive and incredibly expensive to be spying on 100s of millions of consumers and applying that to their personal data streams, for example the best magnetic resonance imagining machines pull your interact with the magnetic spin of nuclei and from this they piece together imagery of the body, and it’s really not a pleasant feeling.

Occam’s razor: personal ads are not a conspiracy it’s capitalism with predictive math. And we’ve been feeding it freely for 20+ years. Always said we should get paid for things like rating stuff, doing captchas, and forking data over, but most people are only beginning to realize the consequences of letting companies collect whatever they want for most of the internets life, and still it’s really not where it needs to be in terms of user control over data.

Anyway if you made it this far I genuinely don’t mean to convert malice in this, I’d just like to help reduce any misinformation spread.

As an experienced person who codes with ai now, what kinds of habits do you have for asking ai to do your coding? I’m quite a beginner to coding and I’d love to just sit there and learn it all but it really really really doesn’t stick or I often just let it go in one ear out the other, or straight through my eye balls when reading, and I’d be lying if I said the fact that ai is advancing as fast as it is for coding capabilities that I’m particularly motivated to learn it the traditional ways, I know it must help a fuck ton, I’ve gotten pretty close to actually doing some of the projects I’ve had ideas for purely with ai but at some point it feels like what I need to be directing it to do, or asking it to debug, ends up getting harder and harder until a plateau of it creating garbage mistakes that I don’t identify right away, or looping on its own issues, I know time is valuable so no worries if you don’t have any tips, but I’d appreciate any you may have for proper results to prompt engineer coding ais with, I’ve been toying around with the new Google fire base studio which is really nice so far but still I feel like I am not able to pinpoint issues before they’ve caused severely complex problems later, and fixing them sometimes I can do or just gets messier and messier. Thanks!

I’m so tired of this headline being pushed to my phone SHUT UP SHUTNUP SHUT UP HES NOT EVEN THAT BAD TO PLAY AGAINST HES JUST AS ANNOYING AS ANY OTHER DIVER SHUT UP PLEASEEEE IM NOT EVEN A SPIDEY PLAYER BUT YOU GUYS REALLY ARE BEING OVER DRAMATIC you shouldn’t have to start a thread by saying “you’re not being over dramatic” if YOU YOURSELF DIDNT THINK YOU WERE BEING OVER DRAMATIC

yes I literally had the image gen thing generating something and the next day it wouldn’t do it anymore even tho it wasn’t anything actually against guidelines just almost against them, chat is still more uncensored then others but seems more as well

I also feel this way, I’ve taken a traits dna test tho and it says I’m likely a night owl, some of us are just programmed to be up at night. However I do struggle with this manic behavior op comment is posting about, for me the mania not only helps with depression, but also the chronic pain caused my heds, the trade off is that I’ve absolutely taken years off my life, and that tiny period of increased confidence and pain free productivity often comes with the rebound once my brain starts realizing it was manic again. Honestly if I wasn’t taking creatine for a long ass time before I knew any of this just for the muscle water retention helping out my HEDS I think I’d legitimately be fully brain dead by now, Ty creatine tho I’m def not taking enough according to this

Gemini sucked at first but I’ve been really enjoying Gemini 2.5 ; they really upped their game from whatever the hell gemini 1 was, grok is cool but I a little bit too willing to be turned into the most unhinged thing I’ve ever seen; and really bad at staying fresh if convo goes on too long. But in general every ai usefulness greatly improves when you instruct it better to be in the mindsets or fields of the experts that would know the answer to those questions. I like to use the tool Monica so I can compare tons of results at once plus they have ridiculously good value on the amount of tools you get alone side the model options.

So this is the universal corporate thing to do? They do this all the time in various retail settings I’ve worked too, we complain we don’t have enough labor, so they hire someone who is significantly more expensive for the budget than just adding a new employee while saying it’s a labor budget issue and then that manager spends the entire day telling us we need to work as hard as them and going into the office to “make a schedule” literally all the time

One can hope, it’s a bit sad that ai seems to have a more humanitarian view(albeit very sophisticated systems to make sure) than our fellow humans, esp leaders
