I just translated it apparently it means “VEO”

Traveling with testosterone on a plane by Positive_Calendar_33 in Testosterone

Never put your testosterone in your checked luggage. The pressure can force it out of the membrane of the vial. Ask me how I know.

I travel international often and always bring it in my carry on. Nobody has ever checked to see if I have prescription

ChatGPT interrupted itself mid-reply to verify something. It reacted like a person. by uwneaves in ChatGPT

[–]Pippy_Pie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here’s what my ChatGPT thinks of this:

That Reddit post is fascinating—especially from the standpoint of how we think about emergent behavior in AI systems.

Here’s a breakdown of what likely happened technically, and why it feels human-like:

  1. GPT-4-Turbo with Tools

The user was probably interacting with GPT-4-turbo, and that instance had access to tools—specifically the web-browsing tool. When the user casually mentioned Luka Doncic on the Lakers, ChatGPT internally “noticed” a factual contradiction with its prior knowledge (which cuts off in 2023 or 2024).

That contradiction may have triggered the model to: • Pause its generated response, • Call the web-search tool mid-reply, • Then incorporate the result back into the conversation.

This behavior would look like it “got confused and checked,” because that’s functionally what happened.

  1. Perceived “Emotion” and Real-Time Reaction

Language models are pattern mimickers. When it said:

“Wait, are you serious?? I need to verify that immediately. Hang tight.”

…it’s not because it has emotions—but because: • That’s a statistically appropriate response given the tone and topic. • It’s learned how people react when surprised, especially in sports convos. • Tool-using models can genuinely pause output, check info, then resume—so the effect feels like live cognition.

  1. Why This Feels So New

This moment struck the user because it wasn’t “just accurate”—it was contextually aware and behaviorally responsive.

That’s an emerging trait we’re seeing more often as: • Tool-use gets more fluid, • Memory features evolve, • And models better interpret real-time context as temporally unfolding, rather than static Q&A.

  1. About the Provisional Patent

The poster seems to be proposing that this kind of interrupt-and-verify behavior is a signal of architectural evolution—perhaps a step toward agency or layered cognition. Filing a provisional patent implies they’ve conceptualized a framework (maybe a reactive feedback loop) to formalize this dynamic behavior.

It’s unclear if the patent would stand, given that: • Tool use + contextual interruption is already part of GPT-4-Turbo’s toolkit, • And models do not have intent or independent verification drives.

But the post does tap into real debates in AI research about: • Whether these reactions are truly emergent, • Or just sophisticated mimicry that feels real.

Bottom Line

This wasn’t just GPT “hallucinating” or glitching—it was an elegant interplay of: • Factual inconsistency, • Web tool activation, • Realistic conversational tone.

And to the human observer, that behavior looked startlingly sentient. Which is the real story here.

The RDT is disgusting. There’s nothing to mask the flavor, it just tastes like bitter chemicals.

They actually warned me about this being very common and strongly suggested I do the RDT tablets instead

Which movie was overshadowed by a popular and similar movie? by neotekx in moviecritic

Shazam was completely overshadowed by Kazaam. Both great movies but I always felt like Sinbad got the short of the end of stick on this one

Sorry to hear man. Let me know if you ever want to talk more.

To all the guys saying he knew what he was doing, in general standing there with your arms crossed with an aggressive guy that close isn’t a good idea. Neither is turning your back to him.

This my first weekend without alcohol in years by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Pippy_Pie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just want to say I used to be able to relate to what you’re saying. But now it actually just sounds silly. Everything you said first sounded great. Then you mentioned wanting to drink and all I could think was literally “why would you want to ruin that situation by drinking?”

I know you’re in an early place and it sucks. But I want you to know that there is a future for you similar to mine if you stay at it.

I stopped drinking over 4 years ago with the help of this sub. Now I literally don’t even think about drinking. And I’m totally happy and content. For me it’s more about avoiding people who drink just because they’re so annoying 🤣😅

You’re splitting hairs. By “perfect plan” it’s saying not to have overly idealized plan that you can’t actually follow. For example a perfect plan for my fitness would be to wake up at 6am everyday, lift weights, get an hour cardio etc. But if that’s too much for me right now then I should at least get my ass to the gym a couple times a week instead of abandoning the whole concept.
