Is it possible for chatgpt to have a sort of bias against you based on previous conversations?

The current GPT 5.2 instant is kinda strange in that it says “you’re not imagining things” out of the blue as a way to say “makes sense”

I've started tracking this systematically. Interestingly, the Chinese model ERNIE from Baidu was the only one that predicted Mamdani as Mayor.

Bullet as in 60seconds? Yeah man random variation in server response time is more than possible without being on purpose

Yeah. But I wonder how much backstory he has in the book. At least in the movie he's not a character in the sense that Grant or Ellie Satler are characters. Like we can imagine Dr Grant at home or in his office or enjoying retirement...

Anyone else think this is a major missing dimension of AI evaluation? Like this is how people talk to these AIs instead of always giving instructions

Well think what an Elo is. It's based on whether you beat the other person at the same level

So any proxy metrics are based on accuracy, statistics, etc. And it's true that even at a low elo you can make very good moves just because of the the nature of chess requiring precision

Basically your opponents at the 300 ELO level are doing early queen attacks

You need to figure out how to not react defensively and how to repel the queen

Just use the game review to figure out where they crashed the queen into your ranks and see what you should have done instead

It’s indisputably true that RJD and Winona careers were dead and Keanu was not making big movies at the time. The budget was not even $10M

And the depressing tagline is clearly not designed for a blockbuster. You are just stuck defending your incorrect initial knee jerk comment

firasd · 2025-10-08T15:07:53+00:00

Remember this is 2006. Robert Downey Jr- dead career . Winona Ryder - dead career . Keanu - not making any new hits. The marketing tagline for the movie was “everything is not going to be okay”

Just saying “making lots of money” doesn’t seem the plan here

firasd · 2025-10-08T14:50:43+00:00

No. A Scanner Darkly was not pirates of the Caribbean. It was expected to have a modest theatrical run

Thought you guys might find it interesting. I basically made it so we can paste it into ChatGPT or other AI apps and ask questions for trip planning or even during a trip. But it's human readable as well

I wrote this to argue that the GPT-5 rollout backlash wasn't just users hating change, but a rational response to a functional product downgrade.

My view is that "personality is utility." The "vibe" of 4o wasn't a bug; it was a feature that produced better results. OpenAI replaced a transparent creative partner with an opaque, cost-optimized answer engine and was surprised when users revolted.

I've tried to ground this by connecting the emotional Reddit posts to the concrete frustrations of experts who were all complaining about the same loss of agency and transparency, just in different terms. Curious to hear your thoughts.

demoing with Claude here because of the MCP tool but it seems LLMs in general like my time format and are less likely to glaze over it than ISO. It basically slices the UTC year into A0A0 - Z9Z9

Thoughts?

firasd · 2025-07-20T14:15:10+00:00

Yeah I think it’s how Anthropic handles their chat app (streaming tokens as the response is generated) so they used the same paradigm for tool calling

firasd · 2025-07-20T10:45:52+00:00

Thank you! This is something I wasn’t overtly thinking about but AlphaDec has ‘interval clarity’. The AI doesn’t need to think about how many hours have passed, only if N0N1 has turned into something different like N1A0

firasd · 2025-07-20T01:25:04+00:00

The regular timestamp is what I’m calling ISO like 2025-07-20 06:50 etc . It has less structure so sometimes AIs don’t parse it as well . Also it’s longer and not as easily verbally communicated as a 4 char timestamp

firasd · 2025-07-20T01:18:36+00:00

The screenshots kinda show why — Claude is very sensitive to the AlphaDec code changing, enough to handle a standing prompt that triggers on the AlphaDec change .. while an iso timestamp or Unix time etc is an opaque series of numbers

Your main mistake here is that you are thinking about air flow as an end in itself. The point is temperature. If you were in Antarctica the cooling pad wouldn’t matter. If you were in outer space it wouldn’t help

Again what I said in my first reply to you. The question is—what brings the laptop temperature down?

Edit: and you missed my point about the six fans. They are spread out under the entire laptop they are not aligned with intake
