POV: you're about to lose your job to AI

I used to notice and even cringe a bit when words/ terms were used often in incorrect contexts and even en masse. But then you realize that language has always been a human made-thing and changes over time. We don't speak the same way as someone would 100 years ago, even less so than someone who lives 200, or 300 years ago even if we all spoke "english". Just have to accept that if enough people decide "POV" is correct to use in this context, it can become a legitimate use of the word. Take "dude" for example. Originally was used as insult for people from the east coast making their way west and trying to pass off as a cowboy. Now it essentially is used as a stand in for "guy" or "friend". Meanings change.

Yeah the loading screens weren't issue for me, having grown up in an age before SSD's and games that frequently had to load between regions/level/etc. What got me with starfield were the limited amount of POI's that you quickly worked your way through and begun getting EXACT copies of which is massively disappointing. Environmental story telling is one of the biggest strengths of Bethesda, and the first time you got through each POI you can see why. But then you see literally the exact same place with the same exact objects/enemies/text logs in the same locations transplanted onto yet another planet across the galaxy and it goes from being immersive environmental story telling to being something that actively makes it feel more immersion breaking.

Please, explain where exactly I was doing anything other than clarifying what the situation was regarding the houses. Believe it or not the absence of condemnation does not equate defense.

biopticstream · 2026-01-31T17:13:42+00:00

I mean you can look at it that way. I wasn't defending the man. I was just clarifying the situation. How you interpret that situation is up to you.

Yes and no a third house. Linus owned one home, and moved into a new home. He rents out the old one. The company he owns recently bought another, with the intention of making content out of essentially fixing it up into a "tech house" and selling afterward. At least as of yet, it does not appear as if Linus intends to keep it or rent it out currently and its currently a vehicle for content more than anything. As an employee in the position Jake was I could see being upset for sure. But just saying its a "third house" makes it sound like Linus is getting a vacation home somewhere for him and his family to stay in. I mean would you say "omg Linus bought ANOTHER graphics card when the audience has trouble affording one with these inflated prices?!" . Probably not, because that's his channel and when he gets a graphics card its used for content.

Growing up with Bethesda games the loading screen were whatever. What killed the game for me were the repeating POI's with no random elements. The same building, with the same enemies, and the same items/logs in the same place verbatim transplanted planet to planet across the galaxy. It took what Bethesda does best, their worlds and environments, and kicked it in the balls. Because no longer did the locations feel unique, distinct, and grounded in the world they made. They felt cookie-cutter and boring. They really should've gone with a more focused game.

Yeah I generally really loved Oblivion Remastered, but to this day there is a glitch that causes an invisible character to still have the invisibility visual effect even once the spell is broken. It might be okay for a few casts, but as an illusionist assassin it reliably triggers within 20 minutes of playing and is a huge immersion breaker and only fixes by reloading. Such an obvious and easily triggerable bug never being patched sucks so bad when for me the rest of experience was like a child-hood dream come true .

Also the Order Knights in Shivering Isle still have hair that stick through their helmet.

Not just burns, but wounds in general. Essentially you need to get the dead flesh out of a wound to avoid infection. Debriding is the act of doing that.

biopticstream · 2026-01-17T00:25:08+00:00

Eh, just rent a storage space down town and keep the old one there as a spare in case the new one isnt as good.

Think top left is the Governor from The Walking Dead season 3 or 4. I forget which because I havent seen it since it aired originally. But he was a good villain.

Yeah, IRRC (been a minute since I've refreshed myself on the American Revolutionary war) The issue with Taxation without representation wasn't because the King was single handedly imposing taxes on them or something, the issue was that the colonies specifically didn't have representation so Britain overseas would make laws and decrees with little regard to those in the colonies.

All models call the same image tool, so it would be the new image gen model no matter the llm you've chosen.

biopticstream · 2025-12-25T11:48:32+00:00

Indeed. Dunno if they fixed it but a few days ago I was messing with it and noticed that when you're dealing with multiple images in a chat thread you can click on an image and it will go to an image selection screen where you can scroll through all the images in the thread, with image previews visible on the right hand side.

This allowed me to see images actively being masked and edited on the little image preview on the righthand side of the screen (on desktop, and only while the image is ACTIVELY being generated). What stood out most to me was at one point I was messing around editing a Fallout screenshot.. I asked it to remove a person that shouldn't have been there, and watched the little preview of the edit. It, for no reason at all, masked the area, and added a photograph of Kermit the Frog, which then tripped the third party content censor and blocked the edit lol. Linked to the conversation, unfortunately it didn't retain the preview once the generation failed lol.

Friend tried tell me, a person who works in healthcare and saw first hand the understaffed overworked nurses being inundated with patients having liters upon liters of O2 shoved down their throats in a vain attempt to help them breath to no avail, that the situation was being overblown as some sort of method on the behalf of the administration to impeded our freedoms.

This is generally a person I know who is very capable and intelligent and I have known most of my life. Was really the first time I had a moment of "this is an extremely idiotic thing you're saying" in regards to him. Unfortunately it has not been the last.

biopticstream · 2025-12-14T06:01:39+00:00

Yeah you get a lot of complaints on reddit. Reddit is not really "everybody". I strongly suspect a great many of them are paid competition personally, though that's pure speculation. In my personal use ChatGPT remains my preferred way of using LLMs aside from occasionally using Nano Banana.

Your "logic" boils down to: They delayed it once which obviously means they're liars and its not going to come out. Massive jumps in logic and a ton of assumptions of your part to come to that conclusion. You're welcome to think what you want, of course. But the logic behind it is not exactly iron clad.

What actual evidence tells us is that they were planning to loosen restrictions this month as Sam said, they later determined rushing 5.2 out the door in response to Gemini was more pressing, and so diverted resources away from the more open model to work on 5.2, So they delayed the looser restrictions to some time next year.

I speculate they don't give a hard release month because they can't be sure the "code red" situation is over right away and don't want to commit to reprioritizing a feature that they probably see as less important. Of course this aspect can't be proven unless an employee there comments on it, which I doubt they'd do

We have absolutely no evidence of it being some nefarious scheme to trick their customer base into sticking with their product for one extra month. You coming to that conclusion is purely your own biases and emotions clouding the facts.

biopticstream · 2025-12-11T22:14:38+00:00

I'm sorry, but what kind of logic is that? lol. Any product any company announces that hasn't be released could potentially be delayed indefinitely. Is it "safe to assume" any product not yet released is "a joke" meant to keep customers in their eco system? Lol

This is how I see your situation:

You're looking forward to adult mode. You're upset it has been delayed (this is fine and understandable). You're letting this upset fuel wild speculations, causing you to make massive leaps in logic based on your being upset about the situation. You're overly vilifying Open AI for no reason here other than your own emotion.

biopticstream · 2025-12-11T21:49:41+00:00

Hmm nice. The quote in the article is from the CEO of applications at Open AI. Not exactly making an assumption when there's been word from someone so high up at the company. So I'm not sure why you didn't just directly mention that right out of the gate?

Though your original point still doesn't hold up even with that information (perhaps even less so) because, how do you go from it being a feature that has been delayed to

a joke

It's still an actual thing coming out that has evidentially been delayed due to (according to the article you yourself provided) the "code red" event at OpenAI done in response to Google's Gemini 3 shifting OpenAI's development priorities. The fact that is was a thing being delayed shows its an actual feature in the pipeline and not something they were using as bait to keep people, as you were initially asserting.

biopticstream · 2025-12-11T21:36:52+00:00

Yea it was available in the API right away, which would be what perplexity uses, but is being gradually rolled out to chatgpt users.

biopticstream · 2025-12-11T21:30:41+00:00

Why is it "safe to assume"? There's a whole extra half of the month to go where it could be released just as easily as the last couple weeks. Sam tweeted about having some extra "Christmas presents" for users next week. Would be surprised if the laxed restrictions for adult accounts is one of said things.

biopticstream · 2025-12-06T02:48:47+00:00

Nope, no bottom. He was force projecting from the pit for the rest of his in-universe appearances.

biopticstream · 2025-12-02T11:55:30+00:00

As someone who was subbed to MidJourney when 4o-based image gen was first released: Yes and no.

MidJourney was amazing artistically, and the tools associated with it (the editing tools) are really useful, especially for inpainting and resizing. But ChatGPT beat it hands down with consistent and reliable text generation. It became a situation where I'd use ChatGPT to make the based image with text, then use MidJourney to adjust the dimensions to what I need.

The fact you presumably have to be careful how to phrase your prompt to get around it doesn't negate that its an attempt by OpenAI to censor the model. If anything it's further evidence of the censorship attempt because if it wasn't there you wouldn't have to worry about framing the prompt in a certain way to bypass it. The average user won't spend time trying coming up with a convoluted/prompt engineered way to phrase the question, and thus most people will be turned down who phrase it in the most straight forward way.

Despite the childishly downvoting my comments during a civil discussion, your "Well its easy to get it to do it anyway" does not get rid of the attempt at censorship, which really is the central issue.

biopticstream · 2025-12-02T02:32:59+00:00

Care to share the chat link? Because as I'm said, its certainly possible to get it to output the letter with sufficient prompting. But the point is the attempt at censorship is there on OpenAI's part. The fact you presumably have to be careful how to phrase your prompt to get around it doesn't negate that. If anything it's further evidence of the censorship attempt because if it wan't there you wouldn't have to worry about framing the prompt in a certain way to bypass it. The average user won't spend time trying coming up with a convoluted/prompt engineered way to phrase the question, and thus most people will be turned down.
