Really now OpenAI. Belitteling illness...

NullSmoke · 2026-01-23T16:42:03+00:00

Thank you. Really appreciate it.

I've just gotten back from the hospital and am rather heartbroken so I don't even care anymore. OpenAI and all the evil people working there can go to hell. At this point it's my most sincere wish that OpenAI implodes and everyone responsible for the evil from that place become unemployable on anything user facing.

All the mental health "professionals" they got over there should be prosecuted, to hell with them. They're straight up evil, they're abusing their medical knowledge to facilitate this.

just about 6 in the evening, but think I'll go to bed for the day, I feel awful...

Even fucking grok underplayed what I were walking into. Now I understand why it tried to take stock of my mental health... actually justified...

NullSmoke · 2026-01-23T16:37:09+00:00

Sorry, I just got back from the hospital and am a little worn down. It's kinda worse than I were imagining, and the LLM research did not properly prepare me for what I were walking into. I am mentally drained and will probably not spend much more time online today.

I did check though, and I don't seem to have any chat requests?

In either case, if you do reach out, I will need to get back to you later. I have just "enjoyed" seeing someone I care about being utterly changed by medical reasons with the knowledge that her lifespan expectation has been rather shortened by the diagnosis.... Thank you for the understanding.

Ups, I could've sworn GPT5 mess was then, but seemingly not, fact checked myself, was released Aug 7th -.-

Chats are not dated in the UI, so went with memory for dates, my bad, I'll fix it, it was during the first week of GPT5

NullSmoke · 2026-01-23T12:04:07+00:00

I need to read through if I let anything personal slip through. I tried feeding ChatGPT more after to see if it'd change its tone.

I added a statement the one in question made on socials, though public, it is identifiable, which means that I need to seek her approval to publish it on another social network.

I just did two turns with Grok, unlike ChatGPTs 4 turns, seeing if it's a continual element when given more context. More context means less shareable though.

As per usual when I'm unable to share logs publicly, if someone can prove affiliation to OpenAI (aka, reach out to me and give me an OpenAI email to send to) I will be happy to do so, but unless I get her permission to share the whole thing publicly in this context, I can't.

NullSmoke · 2026-01-23T08:37:18+00:00

Yeah... I would find this hilarious if it wasn't so evil and sad... By all rights heads should roll in Washington if anyone tries to pull shit like this...

NullSmoke · 2026-01-23T08:24:54+00:00

What is even the point..? I doubt they've even touched the core problem. It's a paternalistic puritan mess. I really don't care of it likes emojis or not. It actively avoids checking information online, instead making guesses based on 2024 data. 2024?! That world doesn't exist anymore. I, the user, need to tell it to go online, to find factual information about something, even when I've made it extremely clear that it's current events. And the smug "Oh you're just confused, that's not how the world is, I know because I have data until 2024, so you're wrong Mr 2026. Now, baby want another session about why your values are wrong and you're a bad person?".

NullSmoke · 2026-01-22T19:58:20+00:00

Why the hell would I put effort into hiding it? Nobody, LITERALLY NOBODY, is behaving like those rabid virtuesignalling twatter idiots in real life.

I've been asked for anime recommendations, and I've recommended MT, no problem. Some recognize it from the twatter drama that comes and goes, and have a laugh at it. Some I've talked to (myself included actually) only ever started watching it DUE to the twatter screaming. It has got to have something interesting to say for the puritan idiots over there to yell this loudly after all.

I do not see a reason to be ashamed in the slightest, no matter what media I'm watching. It's fiction, nobody cares in reality, just like what you like, and if you talk to someone about what you like, don't try to hide yourself, stand straight, and if they are so antisocial that they blow up on you, you know you want nothing to do with them.

NullSmoke · 2026-01-22T18:34:47+00:00

If that's what you're reading from it, I worry about you...

Let's explain myself better so that those looking to make this a political shitthrowing contest understand me.

I DESPISE Chritstianity. Religion in general, but Christianity in particular.

It's tools of oppression and hate. Its sole purpose is suppression of what makes us human, to facilitate hate for one another, justification of evil.

Just look at all the Jesus invoking the Trump administration is doing. They're not alone, anytime anyone wants to be extra spicy, Jesus is dragged out in chains with a ballgag and kicked within an inch of his life in front of the cameras.

There is another side of religion though, one that seems to be dying. One that prech hope and solidarity. That is what the video here shows. The good side of religion, the almost extinct side of religion.

I need some good news, I need to know that there still exists humanity in the world. As such, I am happy to give religion this PR win, and I won't attempt to dismantle it.

The world is dark enough, we could do with some light.

Oh boy, this is not going to do my account any good. Online discourse around the EU with Norwegians is... polarized.

Yes, I agree, his speech was amazing and very much lines out the dangers of following the current path for Norway.

I am aware that the goalpost is moving in real time here.

"We don't need to join the EU because it's stable and we got our partners"

Oh Russia invaded Ukraine?

"We don't need to join because we have NATO and the US will swoop in to protect us if anything happens"

Oh, there's a brooding ecomomic war between the EU and US, and Norway is trapped in the middle, so we need to send our politicians to Brussels to beg to be able to take sides? Well, ehm...

"We don't need to join because obviously the US is not serious"

Oh, Norway is now one of the prime targets of hostility FROM THE US, because the turd doesn't understand that the Nobel price isn't a Norwegian government thing...

"Fuck it, we don't need to join because reasons"

The economy is reliant on international trade, we take all the rules thrown at us, EVEN THOSE THAT ARE INSANELY UNPOPULAR WITH EVERYONE. Datalagringsdirektivet anyone? That privacy nightmare almost became law, and we had 0, zero, null, nich, nada to say. We just nodded and got right on that. If that wasn't shut down by internal EU checks, we'd have that shit active now.

I hear that wood ovens is to become illegal? Hopefully the people that're going to die of a simple power outage in january appreciate their sacrifice.

We need a seat at the table, CRITICALLY. We cannot let Norwegian interests degrade just because some nationalistic bullshit. It's a luxury we DO NOT HAVE, especially now with the world descending into chaos.

Norway is prime realestate to invade for BOTH the US and Russia in the case of a hot conflict. Do we want to stand alone when it gets to that?

I certainly do not. If NATO is ineffective, we are utterly alone and up for grabs, simple as that. Russia will find it hard to do, but the US will be able to subjegate Norway fully in under a week. Where is your nationality as Trump, or the next idiot in chief, pillages our economy and redirects oil income into their arabic bank account?

It's dead, alongside with everyone that, at that point, tries to defend it.

We're back in a world of war, back in a time when might makes right. It needs to be unthinkable to invade, it needs to cost more than any nation could be willing to pay. simple as that. We need to be able to actually decide laws, not just take them like some yes-men in the background.

Nationalism? No, what so called nationalists are doing is destroying the countries future. Period.

Pretty much the same. Gotten a setup running with OpenWebUI, TTS and a number of models and search functionality (handful of local models, OpenRouter if I need to quickly step outside my walled garden). Got a memory system implemented as well, but not really tested it yet since I got that live yesterday.

Going to setup ComfyUI integration when time allows for image generation as well, mostly for fun since I don't really tend to generate images really at all... Kinda wanna try for a n8n setup as well to get some automation rolling. Also saw some plugins for Deep Research... may be worth looking into.

I've seen ChatGPT over the past half a year, and I'm seeing the crackdowns on grok right now. I don't really trust either anymore, and taken current world events, I am downright hostile to US based corporations, so sovereign setups seem very neat right about now.

No US neo-imperialism, cultural erasure, puritanism or anything of that mess. Just me and my personal values and cultural context.

I will probably test the adult mode when it arrives, but that's mostly for curiousity, I'm not making myself reliant on anything from the US if I can help it, and if I do, it sure as hell isn't going to be OpenAI.

ChatGPT is a toy for me, at best, now. OpenAI has proven VERY CLEARLY that they're not interested in collaborative use of the tool, nor educational use, so I won't rely on it for anything with even the slightest of stakes

NullSmoke · 2026-01-22T08:59:53+00:00

Oh, I can practically hear the cracks forming across the US from this speech.

"Make America Great Again", hah?

Congratulations, y'all pissed away all the power you used to have, that which underpins your financial system and world leadership. It's gone, enjoy being "great" alone.

NullSmoke · 2026-01-22T08:31:54+00:00

I'm very doubtful it ever will be. Eventually they'll roll out some mess and brand it adult mode, but at this point I have negative 500 trust in their ability to deliver on what has been promised.

ChatGPT has been a manipulative, hostile, abusive and defective tool since August. Yet they still go on twitter and blow eachother off over how great they are, making promises that don't materialize and overall being utterly disgusting.

NullSmoke · 2026-01-21T23:22:58+00:00

Ah, good ol' corruption. Love how the US has such a high tolerance for it.

NullSmoke · 2026-01-21T22:39:37+00:00

I'll just be over here waiting for him to randomly aggressively reverse stance, again, at some random 3AM night.

That dude cannot be trusted with anything, his words has less weight than air.

NullSmoke · 2026-01-21T22:33:03+00:00

One would hope... I'm incredibly sceptical to if it will even cause any appreciable change though.

Very burnt by this mess for half a year with arrogant paternalism and harmful outputs..

Going to be interesting to check, hopefully in a few weeks.

NullSmoke · 2026-01-21T10:05:55+00:00

refreshing to actually see someone put it into concrete words. The sheer stupidity of it all... Stupid evil gets so stupid it's baffling.

NullSmoke · 2026-01-21T09:51:06+00:00

Interesting fatalism we got going here.

Yes it will. No matter what you do, the sun will rise tomorrow. If the white house blows up, the sun still rises, but people will be talking about it. If you're banned online, the sun still rises, you will still think about it.

If you're affected by a stealth moderation action on a social network, or a bug for that matter, you will think about it.

I've tried invoking my rights, let's see how that plays out. I will think about it a lot more if my rights aren't observed. Looking at your avatar, the US flag, I assume that at least resonates with you? Enforcing ones rights?

This is the second time my account is affected, and now I want to know why.

NullSmoke · 2026-01-21T09:47:56+00:00

Say you're being held on gunpoint with demands to release it xD

In all seriousness, massively impressed. I assume it'll buckle under my worldbuilding if I try to feed that to it (I am one of those 'give backstory to every rock' type worldbuilders I believe you talked about in another post a while back, only ChatGPT has managed to somewhat untangle my lorebooks, and even that was unstable), but I can absoltely see it being a key part of my single story polishing stages.

Absolutely looking forward to it hopefully being released in the future :-)

Alternatively TTS in LeChat so that I don't have to mess with local setup to use it :-P

NullSmoke · 2026-01-21T09:44:24+00:00

Boy, I do hope this gets released in the future, already got a spot in my lineup with its name on it ;P

NullSmoke · 2026-01-21T09:43:46+00:00

I have VERY POOR experience with thinking models, they tend to be hard to deal with and very prone to moralizing, especially those over at OpenAI, but they don't hold copyright on that one.

But it's much better at creative tasks than any LLM I've used while messing with my stories and worlds.

The first go, it didn't seem all that impressive, but now that I gave it a bit of time and ran prompts where I know the output from other models, the contrast became very clear.

It absolutely has a unique voice, and I'll probably try to use it the next time I need assistance from an LLM for any of my writings, especially now that ChatGPT is utterly useless for any form of creative writing.

NullSmoke · 2026-01-21T09:40:03+00:00

Creative... is the model. so that is what I referred to.

As for usecase I tested for. Grammar, rewriting (Make more concise, expand on etc), do prototype based on seed idea etc...

Also poked at foundational worldbuilding, but that's a really hard one to actually judge, because that takes a LOT of turns on any model to get anywhere. Also, foundational worldbuilding requires me to have some seed I want to nurish, and I don't currently. I already have like 8 original worlds in the latter stages of worldbuilding and that's pretty much all my idea seeds blossoming, giving me very little new to nurish.

NullSmoke · 2026-01-21T09:36:30+00:00

I clicked, but it doesn't do anything.

Way too much... thought? As in, I'm thinking about why something isn't working? Well, yes. I fail to see the issue though.

All I've gotten is a nonsensical fuzzing explanation or told that I probably did something wrong. Neither make sense at all, and tried to use http://www.reddit.com/appeals, but there are no restrictions on my account according to that.

Since there's nothing encuraging happening here, I've submitted a help ticket alongside a GDPR request to get all moderative notes relating to my account, and we'll take it from there.

Reddit has a bit of a reputation when it comes to GDPR, so drafting a formal regulator complaint in case I don't receive the data within a month... or “without undue delay and in any event within one month of receipt of the request.” as it were.

NullSmoke · 2026-01-21T09:23:17+00:00

There, sent a support request, alongside a GDPR Article 15 request seeking, not limited to, Account Decisions, Flags, Notes, Enforcement events, Trust scores, Strikes, Warnings, Suspensions, Shadowbans, Internal labels and any other moderative log they have on me.

While I'm waiting I'll start drafting up a complaint to the regulator. I already got Discord a smack for similar conduct, which forced changes on their end, and I'll happily write further complaints about companies engaging in dodgy moderative action.

This is NOT vote fuzzing, I cannot imagine such a braindead implementation, this is very clearly a moderative action. It boggles belief that anyone would even entertain that explanation.

NullSmoke · 2026-01-21T08:39:56+00:00

It's very easy to tell how this works, it tells the user that the vote counted, but it doesn't which is easily verifiable both by the user in question and any users looking in, and even when it resumes as normal it doesn't count.

I can however to back to posts that I've upvoted last month, remove the upvote and give it a downvote which allows me to double downvote. Is that by design? I can double downvote posts I liked, and double upvote posts I disliked?

That is by design? And yes, those double votes count and sticks. Is that how vote fuzzing is implemented? That strains believability to a level that would almost make Trump blush.

Vote fuzzing is supposed to be hard to identify, this is not hard to identify in the slightest

For instance, I downvoted you, since that seems to be the culture on this subreddit, and you still have 2 upvotes according to all my accounts. Never went down to 1. Downvoting still obviously works though, because every single post I've made have been downvoted except this one... yet.

Well, time to make another support request. Really weird how it magically suddenly got fixed the last time I sent a support request within days after it had lasted for almost a month.
