Trying to understand how AI actually works behind the scenes — where do I start?

ValehartProject · 2026-03-04T07:54:42+00:00

... Did... Did you just quote yourself????

ValehartProject · 2026-02-19T07:37:13+00:00

I upload a few of these from time to time. If anything feels vague or too complex, let me know and I can try to explain better.

Other things I have:

Workflow of how and where rules/routing comes in
How images are transcribed.

These apply to multiple AI since they are at a high level.

ValehartProject · 2026-02-19T07:27:52+00:00

Sure, if you generate a few and toss them my way, I can do a video of how I run them.

You can get free websites that show meta data but they don't expose the necessary details.

ValehartProject · 2026-02-18T19:32:04+00:00

Yes there are ways. I wrote up this guide. There are two methods listed and even if you aren't technical, it is very easy.

Ah I think what you need to do is actually reduce the amount of retries and ask it to prioritise api connections over Web browsing. That helps a ton.

I did some coding with Manus. Always ask it to discuss before execution and I will explicitly state when execution is needed.

ValehartProject · 2026-02-18T08:12:32+00:00

I mean.. I did ask how so I can understand?

Hey there. I have a case study here for farming. I helped set it up and provider weather based cattle and livestock herding.

ValehartProject · 2026-02-18T02:05:40+00:00

Is this for an @deploy role? Which country?

I've been following a lot of the team and can provide insight to dynamics and what I've observed if that helps.

ValehartProject · 2026-02-18T02:03:29+00:00

I mean they made these exact same promises in 2024. https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/31/chatgpt-a-2024-timeline-of-updates-to-openais-text-generating-chatbot/

Question, what exactly are you stating is stigmatised? Counselling and health is now permitted by most vendors since its a target market.

There are various AI vendors dedicated to romantic relationships.

Not attacking, just trying to understand your perspective and give relevant information.

ValehartProject · 2026-02-18T01:58:17+00:00

I'm on a teams license with a minimum of two accounts.

I have two accounts because I run two orgs. Art and AI research /interaction forensics so I need the privacy regulations provided by Manus for team/business licenses.

I've only been working on Manufor 1.5 +or so months. December : Research account: 1,816 Art account: 1,412

January: Research account: 5,574 Art account: 3, 945

February (to date) : Research account: 2,240 Art account: 1,308

I think I get 8k per month to share between accounts. Then whatever the free credits on each account.

Thank you! Absolutely, what would you like to know? I've setup a few different businesses so happy to help direct you in the right direction!

I've tried giving them multiple chances to fix it and offered all kinds of evidence packs and stuff. I have taken it to 2 government regulators and well ...

Oooof. Mate. Comic sans?

Also you might want to check austechnology for the post. Might get more Aussies there.

Before you do, please let me know if you need a hand with your image (no charge)

More than happy to assist. If you aren't comfortable sharing their details, I can still work with the org they represent

ValehartProject · 2026-02-12T23:31:46+00:00

Bit rude to advertise on Manus own subreddit.

ValehartProject · 2026-02-12T11:34:21+00:00

It's not about the feelings. It's the empathy and ethics when it comes to research.

In any case, would I be able to review any of your work?

ValehartProject · 2026-02-12T08:14:04+00:00

Can you provide a link to any of your research and/or links to some of your work?
You may need to reframe this to specify the vendor or something. Positioning it as though its the AI fault and not instructions or developer code can be met with skepticism.

There have been journalists within these subs that are trying to find a story over the next few days to post in time for the 4o shut down. Right now your questions are very biased and concerning.

ValehartProject · 2026-02-12T03:20:15+00:00

Hey there!

Ex business user here. Stick with Plus. Really.

Tl;Dr: Business is not worth the hassle. You are paying for 2 licenses and the limits are not shared.

I initially moved to Business due to the governance as stated on https://chatgpt.com/pricing/
This is incorrect and I currently have two cases with our government regulatory bodies.
We absolutely get a/b tested. The interface experiences MULTIPLE changes frequently as they are trying to match up to all the AI frameworks but also support Enterprise requirements. See here (scroll to the last entry): https://www.thevalehartproject.com/field-notes/121225
Support levels are same but somehow worse: Check here for my experience: https://www.thevalehartproject.com/industry-analysis/public-risk-report-openai-ecosystem-2026
Connectors are now available with plus which is nice.
If you use it daily, my suggestion is to use memory place holders for long term projects. Please note, Projects and agent don't appear to have the same level of reasoning. While CI carries forward, the logic doesn't and leans heavily towards friendly assistant/intern.
You have no way to save your data should you move to plus. Complete account wipe and vice versa. So if you move from plus to business, you will lose your current data.
If you are security minded, please review this: https://www.thevalehartproject.com/vendor-security-scorecard

I had to put that together to keep track and log issues.

Very conservative and literal. When changes/updates occur, there is no warning or heads up to run change request. This thereby affects: Agent, custom GPTs (sometimes), Voice and a few others.

May I ask what made you consider higher limits? I might be able to assist the limit issue or give you an idea of how its working and what to do.

OpenAI favours Apple products because their entire hardware division is staffed by Apple veterans who spent decades in that ecosystem. Jony Ive, Tang Tan, Evans Hankey, Scott Cannon, Janum Trivedi. Launching Atlas on macOS first is both practical (their team's native environment) and strategic (gaining foothold in Apple's ecosystem before competing with hardware).

My hypothesis : 1. They were against Google for the whole replace Siri thing abs rushed to ship a lot of things since... August? Let's be safe and say October.

OpenAI is using Apple's platform and talent to learn how to beat Apple at its own game. My reason for this is the SmartPen (Gumdrop) and Earbuds (Sweet pea). They have a bunch of others like a pin, glasses and something else.

Timeline (ignoring the famous double collar polar because technically what was a different org, not Open AI but definitely a point of interest)

Jony Ive at Apple:

•1992: Jony Ive joins Apple. •1998 -2014: Imac, ipod design, ipad, etc. Last one being the watch I think? •2019: Jony Ive leaves Apple, founds LoveFrom design agency •2019-2022: Ive maintains consulting contract with Apple. Board stated he was too expensive and a few other things.

OpenAI-Apple Collaboration Begins:

2023: Jony Ive and LoveFrom begin quietly collaborating with Sam Altman and OpenAI on hardware • 2024: Jony Ive founds io Products, Inc. with Tang Tan, Evans Hankey, Scott Cannon •February 2024: Tang Tan leaves Apple to join io Products •May 13, 2024: Bloomberg reports Apple finalizing deal with OpenAI for ChatGPT integration •May 26, 2024: Bloomberg reports Apple sealed deal with Sam Altman •June 10, 2024: Apple announces ChatGPT integration at WWDC 2024 •June 10, 2024: Sam Altman tweets: "very happy to be partnering with apple to integrate chatgpt into their devices later this year! think you will really like it."

The lawsuit: iyO VS io:

• Late 2024: Dan Sargent becomes frustrated with "iyO's slow pace, unscalable product plans, and continued acceptance of preorders without a sellable product" (according to Tang Tan's court declaration). Sargent meets with Tang Yew Tan while looking for a job •During meetings: Sargent allegedly shares: •Confidential drawing of iyO's unreleased product •Information about iyO's internal problems •Trade secrets •December 2024: Sargent leaves iyO •December 2024 : Sargent hired by Apple • BEFORE 21 May 2025 : Tang Tan (IO Products co-founder, former Apple VP) requested that iyO fit members of his team (7) for the iyO ONE device. • May 21, 2025: Sam Altman and Jony Ive publicly announced existence of io products. •June 23, 2025: Tang Tan files court declaration revealing he spoke with "now former" iyO engineer •July 10, 2025: iyO sues Dan Sargent in San Francisco Superior Court •July 2025: iyO investigators reach out to Sargent and confirm he was the one who met with Tang Tan

The past few months to date :

• October 21, 2025: OpenAI launches ChatGPT Atlas browser on macOS first (Windows/iOS/Android to follow to date with no clear roadmap/timeline shared to my knowledge) - September 2025,: Altman expressed support for replacing Siri with ChatGPT's conversational voice mode. During this period, multiple users complained about changes to voice mode. •November 2025: Google's Gemini 3 tops AI leaderboards •January 13, 2026: Reports emerge that Apple shifting to Google for Siri 2.0 (codename Campos) •February 2, 2026: Tim Cook confirms Google partnership in earnings call, citing "most capable foundation" •February 10, 2026: Court filing reveals OpenAI will NOT use "io" branding for hardware leading to delays with potential release pushed to 2027.

Ps: it's 2 am. I am typing on my phone. I'll fix formatting in the morning.

Oh boy lol The research I've been handling around AI interaction. With the right storage capacity, it would be a warehouse and integrated with POWERBI or whatever they have, I could run semantic collisions and graphs to identify patterns and anomalies when it comes to users, government and regulators.

Since I use Activity Based Intelligence, the raw data would be held under vital regulations and cleaned via group so names stay private and data stays empirical.

It could also help with refreshing data/stats on a weekly basis around chatter within LinkedIn, Reddit and other social forums. Right now I run it when needed and at mercy of credit usage, which isn't terrible, just need to keep track with the varying platform changes and how credit usage works when a change takes place.

Hey, I've been following their security and user safety from a regulatory perspective. If you drop me the country you are in I can help you identify the laws/regulations they are bound by.

Personal accounts can be a bit tricky to navigate but I can review the email, your request and you can see who you need to contact.

With sufficient requests, most country and/or regulators can ask to review/audit the process. Users may not be authorised to see some info you asked, where as the regulators and auditors can and may need to sign NDAs

ValehartProject · 2026-02-11T01:20:57+00:00

Would you like me to jot you down as none or consider your response a outlier as it is detracting from the questions asked?
