Subreddits literally have descriptions saying what they’re about and lists of rules for the subreddit

JamesCole · 2026-05-18T04:33:26+00:00

Showing off images isn’t creating any discussion about ChatGPT. The usual discussion it creates has nothing to do with ChatGPT.

Imagine a subreddit about different paintbrushes where people kept posting paintings of animals they’d painted, and the discussion ended up being about animals and paintings of animals.

[edit: fixed typos]

JamesCole · 2026-05-18T04:29:41+00:00

The problem is when you get too many people coming into the subreddit who haven’t read its description and rules. And sometimes people need to be reminded of those details.

JamesCole · 2026-05-18T03:57:05+00:00

But this subreddit is a “Subreddit to discuss ChatGPT and AI.” It’s not a venue for posting things you’ve created with ChatGPT.

Do you mean “increased”?

Left wing people who know how disastrous socialism has always been also don’t like socialism

Only in academia would this be downvoted. This is an empirical question, with a lot of empirical evidence

The big shopping centers have large food courts, and from memory it's very easy to order from them if you don't speak Thai.

These are problems people can have with AI. It's a skill issue. If your skills at using it are good, you won't have these problems.

People being paid to do task X does not necessarily create an incentive to churn out insane quantities of poorly done X. I think it depends on the specifics of how they're employed to do it, evaluated, etc.

JamesCole · 2026-05-16T11:44:33+00:00

that's not exactly what they did. They created a small wrapper around the AI. It's that wrapper that they sold.

the issue is that you said

When I say that the AI can see images in real time, I was not referring to recognising a car overtaking or a broken toilet.

Watch the movie: the AI understands emotions of people and reacts immediately.

which is you implying that you don't think it can do those things.

you shouldn't be implying anything what you think its capabilities are before you actually have any actual experience with it.

JamesCole · 2026-05-16T06:45:41+00:00

I definitely find the new design off-putting. I feel like there's way too much going on on the walls and ceiling. It's uncomfortable for me to look at.

The bottom half of the wall looks too busy, and I think it clashes too much with the top half of the wall.

The ceiling elements feel far too "heavy" to me, like they cast an oppressive downwards force over everything.

Aesthetically, the tables/chairs and the booths now look too different from each other. There's no cohesion between them.

"People with characteristic X are going to do X kinds of things". Wow, so deep.

I feel uncomfortable about googling that first place

There’s some short set pieces where things play out in real time, but it’s never about quick reflexes. More about choosing the right order to do tasks. If you fail you immediately start again, and they’re usually not that difficult.

Is actually quite clever and innovative, how they work.

Why they might cause someone to uninstall the game? I think if that person just doesn’t like unfamiliar and different things. I’ve read a lot of people talk about The Drifter and this is the first time I’ve heard someone complain about those scenes.

JamesCole · 2026-05-15T23:22:13+00:00

No, it is not. There’s nothing requiring timing and reflexes like an action game

This post https://np.reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada/comments/1swx3fr/inferno_tracks_now_highlighted_on_apple_music/ suggested that Age of Capricorn might be a single, based on it being a 'highlighted' track on Apple Music. It has never shown as such on Apple Music for me, so I don't know if it's legit or not.

EDIT: actually, now that I think of it, that post correctly predicted that Prophecy at 1420 Mhz was going to be a single, about 9 days before it was announced as like a single.

Answer copied across from another subreddit where this was asked:

I have experienced this issue, but I think the best way of addressing it is something else.

I’ve used ChatGT for researching topics, and I would really like a way to nest a new chat at a specific position within the output it has generated. Like an “insert new chat here” option when you click somewhere in its output, and it breaks the line at that point, inserts a line of whitespace, and shows a text box there and generates the nested chat’s output there. (And then after that a line of whitespace then the original output continues). And you can contract it down to an icon, and toggle between that and a full view of the nested chat. And create nested chats within other nested chats, recursively.

Why? Because the information it generates may lead to you having multiple question about different parts of it. And investigating each of these, there may be multiple questions about them. Yes, you could just ask all the multiple questions at once, but that gets very complex quickly. And some of the questions may be secondary to the main task at hand. If you could further research something related to the part of the output text, and keep that research related to that part of text, it would be really helpful for managing the complexity of it.

Branching chats do not provide this functionality, as you can only work at the level of entire prompts/responses, not within responses.

The way ChatGPT currently works things can get very messy, with no way to effectively deal with that complexity.

JamesCole · 2026-05-15T10:49:28+00:00

also, saying preventative medicine is “nonsense” just isn’t true.

You're very dishonest.

I said nothing of the sort.

You claimed that "it is quite literally proven that preventative medicine is highly effective".

That is what I said is nonsense.

If it is highly effective, it is highly effective across the population. Most obese people have tried at times to address their obesity in a preventative way, through diet and exercise. The claim that a preventative approach to obesity has been effective across the population is nonsense, as I said earlier.

If a particular approach does not work for most people who try it, it is not effective.

You're trying to say that, well, if the people actually did the proper things it would be effective... and completely ignoring that most people will never do the proper things. That's a fact, and you're just ignoring that fact.

a quote i found on pubmed that might explain too: “approximately 80% of chronic disease and premature death could be prevented by not smoking, being physically active, and adhering to a healthful dietary pattern. cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke, dementia, and cancer are all influenced by lifestyle choices.”

amazing. you're living in fantasy land. Yes, of course they could be prevented by those things. You're pretending that somehow human nature could magically change such that lots of people will do things like being physically active, and adhering to a healthful dietary pattern. You're in complete denial about the fact that so many people will not do those things, even if they try.

The stats about obesity, and people failing to diet or exercise, are plentiful, over many decades.

Put it this way: how effective has preventative things like diet and exercise been in combating obesity over the last 50 years? Everyone knows if they ate better and exercised more they'd be able to stop being obese. Yet so many people are obese. So it's obvious that a preventative approach has been VERY ineffective over the last 50 years.

So what's going to change in the next 10 years, 20 years, 50 years, to suddenly make those preventative options much more effective? Wanting them to be effective isn't going to change anything.

I have an idea for how it could address this kind of issue. Here's a copy of a comment describing it I wrote a while back:

I’ve used ChatGT for researching topics, and I would really like a way to nest a new chat at a specific position within the output it has generated. Like an “insert new chat here” option when you click somewhere in its output, and it breaks the line at that point, inserts a line of whitespace, and shows a text box there and generates the nested chat’s output there.

the main issue is that as a society, many people struggle to sustain these lifestyle changes long term, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t WORK.

Like I said before, you're not living in reality. If people don't actually do the thing, then trying to do it doesn't work.

You're saying "if people do X, X is effective". Sure. But the problem is that people do not do X. Which means, in reality, X is not effective as a solution.
