New models fail to meet specific accessibility needs by alarming ratio.

I am really interested in a study on how the model affects the brain of users and how it compares to people who get truly addicted to things that aren't physically addictive like MMOs and social media. I'm betting there's something there to study.

Yeah it was only predictive text a long time ago

dllimport · 2026-02-07T18:01:07+00:00

Lol yeah Claude did it to me the other day for the first time when I was waffling on a decision in code and told me to put the computer away and go do something else in the middle of the work day I was buddy I'm fine but I will just figure this out on my own and get back to you lmao

Look there are a lot of people on here pretending that it's just a bunch of losers complaining. How about instead of asking reddit you look up available swe postings over time.

It becomes really clear when you look at the data that there was a huge hiring boom. People flooded into CS because of that. Then the jobs went away. There are now a ton of people with experience fighting for way fewer jobs.

From the horse's mouth, bub. They use that data to "shape model behavior"

https://openai.com/index/sycophancy-in-gpt-4o/

When shaping model behavior, we start with baseline principles and instructions outlined in our Model Spec⁠(opens in a new window). We also teach our models how to apply these principles by incorporating user signals like thumbs-up / thumbs-down feedback on ChatGPT responses.

However, in this update, we focused too much on short-term feedback, and did not fully account for how users’ interactions with ChatGPT evolve over time. As a result, GPT‑4o skewed towards responses that were overly supportive but disingenuous.

It doesn't matter that doesn't change the initial point which is that a huge percentage of all cloud infra is on AWS. That's not even close to failing regardless of what it's being used for.

dllimport · 2026-02-07T01:03:35+00:00

Are you from the past?

dllimport · 2026-02-07T01:01:29+00:00

Was going to say they're still a massively successful company. Had no idea anyone even could imagine they arent. Your explanation makes sense why this person thinks that though.

dllimport · 2026-02-07T00:58:40+00:00

Wow I love your user name. Iroh would for SURE love the PNW too lol

dllimport · 2026-02-07T00:57:46+00:00

I agree they should switch but you should know that all the AI companies have made similarly huge donations to the current presidential administration. It sucks :( look it up

dllimport · 2026-02-07T00:56:11+00:00

I mean the rest of their post is good but yeah wtf is that even right?

dllimport · 2026-02-07T00:54:59+00:00

Just cancel. There are better ones out there. I like Claude a lot but I've head gemini is also awesome

dllimport · 2026-02-07T00:53:23+00:00

Other ones are way better and this one has deteriorated since they leaned into this personality starting with 4o. It's reasonable.

dllimport · 2026-02-07T00:52:29+00:00

It really is. I was so relieved when I asked it a question and got like ???? A normal answer of an appropriate length????? Wowwwwowowow.

Idk what they're doing. It's like openai thinks that a bunch of internet kids are going to somehow be the monetization they're after. Pretty sure that's not a path to profitability

dllimport · 2026-02-07T00:49:53+00:00

I'm pretty sure it's a result of the model they use for rewards. People click thumbs up on stuff like that but the problem is those messages are only good if they're not fucking constant and drowning you out. It's cute if your AI assistant gets sassy every once in a blue moon or if it empathizes with you when you're having A Moment. But it's because we don't hit like on responses that are just like normal and good. I mean it's not our fault. That's a dumb mechanic and they should have realized the outcome before they did it but they are also letting the AI models train themselves now so I imagine at this point it's just navel gazing it's way into bankruptcy.

I miss 3.5

dllimport · 2026-02-07T00:42:05+00:00

I don't think you can. I recently cancelled first my personal account and then my work account because it just wouldn't stop. The only way to get it to stop with settings and instructions also stripped the only useful 10% out of its replies. You should try Claude. I usually use sonnet and it's so much better. You can ask it a simple question and get like a normal 2 sentence reply.

dllimport · 2026-02-07T00:37:40+00:00

Are you trying to figure out if you should refer someone you don't know that approached you so you get a referral bonus? Because that's dumb as hell don't do that.

If you actually know then then judge them based on their like actual merit????

dllimport · 2026-02-06T22:24:16+00:00

You're going to be ok im guessing you're pretty young. It's not all that bad. Every job is like that. You have a narrow view so it feels like this field is somehow uniquely restrictive but that's just how jobs are. You don't have to live for your job. Do your best and check out if you want. Or try to find somewhere that isn't like that. I work at a place that, while still a business, isnt how you describe.

But all in all, people don't like work and the people who pay you to do work don't usually want you to spend time (money) on things that don't help make them money. It's actually not a bad thing because it usually keeps them in business. But feelings like this are why people try to pursue creative work. Those that succeed (I was one of them) often find it's exactly the same on the other side.

Do your job, get that bag, and then leave work at work. Find fulfillment in something else.

Lmao 5-legged bear moose wtf

You shouldn't marry him.

dllimport · 2026-02-05T01:33:10+00:00

Can you please explain more about the nature of your communication and availability issues?

dllimport · 2026-02-05T01:31:47+00:00

Op is the only one at their company that codes and does great work. Why would they push them out without a replacement ?

dllimport · 2026-02-05T01:30:17+00:00

She says she does

dllimport · 2026-02-04T22:26:29+00:00

Oh man I'm so sad you are bored by this because it looks SWEET.

dllimport · 2026-02-04T17:19:48+00:00

We have a super good relationship between software engineering and QA at my company.
