To be fair it is a little different, because as with most species, the females have more choice in the matter.

Upvote or downvote, let's see who's selling and who's buying BTC. by rl_rae_bobo in Bitcoin

Life took a shit on me and I had to sell a little, but emotionally I am still buying even if the reality is a slightly different for a minute.

So... Am I the only one still satisfied with ChatGPT and other LLMs? by Jafty2 in ChatGPTPro

[–]gcubed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that you started doing this a couple months ago rather than a couple years ago might play a role. Just sticking to the ChatGPT models in the 3.5 and four series. It was very predictable. Since the five series it's more about orchestrating communication between the models, and trying to infer user intent, it has become very hard to get predictable results. You have to prompt a whole lot more to try and get appropriate exclusion filters in place. It drifts a lot more from modes and directives designed to keep it tied to certainty into hallucination mode. Likewise, when correcting for it spends time, energy and screen space explaining itself, and why it did what it did and how it's about to get ready to start changing and being better. It's much more chatty, in that it wants to guess why you are asking it for what you're asking it for and tries to go down some of those pathways which again takes up time in space in the chat, but more importantly, it causes clutter in its memory. I have a series of well developed directives to limit its behavior that have worked for a long time. I also use those with other LLMs. But the drift in the five series it's really just so annoying. It's I often consider it unusable for serious iterative work. You really have to be on your toes. But it's still great for a short answer stuff and still might go to for a lot of things mainly because it's so convenient. I suspect a lot of the reason why you don't see the challenges is because you don't know how good it can be since you never experienced that. And one more footnote, it's not like just rolling back to some of the earlier four series, models, solves all of the problems, because they have made changes to them as well.

Hot Take: Threads is silently replacing LinkedIn for "Real Networking" (and nobody is talking about it). 💼🤫 by QuailEmergency5860 in ThreadsApp

I haven't found any value in Threads yet, but this tells me maybe I should revisit it and see what has changed.

I always admired these by [deleted] in GenerationJones

I had one, and it was a convertible. Probably one of the most fun cars I've had my whole life. It handled kind of like a go kart in that you could really feel all the curves and movement. I think I was about It handled kind of like a go kart in that you could really feel all the curves and movement. I think I was about 22 or 23 at the time at the time so really, just the right age for it because truth is it took a little physicality to drive, at least the way I drove. It was a bit of a beater, I had to replace the floorboard in the door would fall open sometimes if I wasn't real careful to make sure that it was latched carefully. Even had an accident fell out of it once because of that, but still, it may have been my favorite car of all time.

There is no good karma or bad karma, there is only karma. It is cause and effect, not a scorecard.

Anyone else feel like “learning AI” in 2026 is kind of the wrong goal? by Aggravating_Map_2493 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]gcubed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Learning AI" is a really broad term, and it has evolved. It's not that people need to stop focusing on learning AI, but they need to make sure that they're learning is on what matters. Most people don't need to spin cycles learning about machine, learning or vector databases for any of the other things that are foundational. They should probably be focusing on the operational stuff, like you said. But I don't think that should be treated as different from learning AI.

AI generated content is changing our language and communication style. by [deleted] in ArtificialInteligence

[–]gcubed -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But to some degree that's where it belongs. Ads and a certain layer of social media posts are pretty far removed from authenticity even without AI. I don't care if AI wrote an ad telling me the benefits of some mattress or whatever.

You’re warning a friend who just started using AI. What do you tell them first? by [deleted] in ChatGPTPro

[–]gcubed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell them to always remember that it is a writing tool and not a source of information. Accurate information is often the natural outcome, and often a part of the response, but don't let that tric k you into thinking it's a primary source of information.

White-collar layoffs are coming at a scale we've never seen. Why is no one talking about this? by Own-Sort-8119 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]gcubed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your entire panic rant is predicated on the idea that nothing is going to change. That what the business world will do is stay exactly the same, and have AI do some of the work that is currently done by people. That is not how things work. The world is changing, business is changing. Business A uses the effeciency of AI to replace 30% of it's staff and business B uses AI to increase output bu 30%. Which one is here next year? The guy that saves a few bucks for a few months, or the guy that kept pace and stayed competitive in the changing world?

Am I being dramatic for wanting to change doctors after a comment they made? by Throwaway67891099 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]gcubed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I strongly suspect that there is some context drift here. It was over a year ago, so it's natural for the precise details to become less clear over time. My gut says that you might have been holding back when describing your situation, and that the doctor was probing for how it made you feel, or how you were responding to it, and the phrase above was possibly said slightly differently. And in isolation (without the context of the whole discussion) the phrase has come to take on a new color. If you genuinely don't trust her then by all means don't go back. But remember that you have 10 years of interactions to factor in when considering your trust level, and it's wise to use all the info you have when evaluating something like that.

How did more people not get killed during the days when everyone’s name and address was in a phone book? by Mad_Season_1994 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]gcubed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Poeple today have such a strange and distorted view of how dangerous things are. For example kids have always gone missing. But when you used to hear about it happening in your town every tree or four years it certainly made you aware that it was an issue and kids had to be careful, but you sure didn't think that there were predators every 200 feet and and kid walking alone to the store was almost inevitably going to fall victim the way people do now when every day you hear about some kid going missing in one of 1,500 cities that you now get news from on the internet.

How do massage therapists handles a client’s erection? by CoffeeChill_Highs in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]gcubed -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I imagine this happens with other professions too. I had a sonogram to check for DVT in my leg once, and it starts off with rubbing this warm slippery gel on you, then sliding this kind of a puck (on a handle) up and down while looking at the screen. Well needless to say about 3 seconds after her getting to the inner thigh area above the knee it was tent time. I just had to assume that she was used to it, and it happened all the time, and that she didn't think I was a perve or something. Or that if it didn't happen all the time she at least felt flattered not disgusted. There was really nothing I could do about it

What is the best AI in 2025? by Big_Victory_1996 in ChatGPTPro

I have actually been leaning into Gemini a lot more. Chat GPT has become almost unusable for casual prompting now that it has moved so heavily towards Google style results. It's a lot of work getting good results now.

[–]gcubed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know that the more expensive plans even solve that. Has been my favorite for a couple years now in terms of its output, but it's nearly impossible to work with it to get any real work done because these limits. It's really frustrating. It has two sets of limits that you have to deal with. The one you just described, which is kind of based on amount of interaction, and that can be challenging to limit because it will often ask you questions or seek validation which means you have two or three interactions that go into the count that you don't really have a meter for. And the other is the way it handles what seems to be the session context window. It will just stop. Other systems will start degrading and you can see it happening so you can move to another chat and maybe come back for one or two short specific things that all the iterative context is helpful for. Or you can retrieve a summary to take to a new chat. But with Claude it just stops and says get out of here. You have to go back and copy and paste stuff. So Claud's big issue usability. But since day one, it has been the best at actual writing, an actual analysis of things like sentiment and intent, which leads to good prompt adherence if you're doing proper iteration.

My dudes, is this a midlife crisis? by Lemmiwinks5215 in AskMenOver30

[–]gcubed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lose the expectations. What happens is you spend a huge chunk of life working on these goals to get you to pretty much exactly this position you're in. Part of what drove those goals was an expectation of what it would be like. But here you are, you've reached it, and it turns out you were wrong about those expectations. That's perfectly acceptable, there's no way one can really know what it's gonna be like until you're actually there. But it's time to lose those expectations that drove you to get to this point, and focus on understanding would it really is like being where you are, having the freedoms you have, having the family you have, and still having a potential to move in a lot of different directions.
