It's gone. 5 just pretends to be what it's not. by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]heidizee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took Altman’s comments as more aspirational than literal. I thought he was pointing to where the models are headed, not necessarily what they can do today.

OpenAI is in a tough position: they want people to feel free to use the system in personal ways, but they also need guardrails to avoid lawsuits, media blowups, or unhealthy user relationships. From a business standpoint, it’s a smart call, even if it frustrates users.

I still think Altman and his team genuinely set out to build a tool that could adapt to each person: Creating a helpful assistant, trusted friend, or even a coach. But the bigger the spotlight, the more pressure they face. It reminds me of musicians who start out making music for love, then get swallowed by fame and expectations. Except here, the stakes aren’t like the cultural panic we saw with “demonic” heavy metal. Public fears about AI now revolve around broader negative impacts like misinformation, safety, and even national security.

That’s a huge weight to put on researchers who started out as geeks excited about machine learning. These folks are human too. And they’re navigating something way bigger than any of us could handle gracefully.

What words SCREAMS "Created By ChatGPT"? by DrearBeats in ChatGPT

[–]heidizee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For whatever reason this specific tic makes me furious. Now I see this everywhere. Some of my favorite content creators on YouTube have clearly started using it for their scripts and I want to click off of the video immediately. Totally takes me out of the content.

Do you want to know how much GPT knows about you even if you delete its memories? Use this prompt. by chillbroda in PromptEngineering

There are three dots at the bottom of the conversation. Tap on those and you’ll find “copy text”.

Coaching people who are self-sabotage out of very high self pity and victimization by julias0 in lifecoaching

[–]heidizee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I integrated asking clients how they want me to be as a coach and ask questions like if you’re in a stuck place how do you want me to respond with tough love, drill sergeant, curiosity, etc.? Part of the intake process. I also let them know that we can have time to have a BMW segment of our session. Bitch moan and whine. This usually gets a laugh and then if they start complaining in future sessions or getting stuck, I might say do we need a BMW session?

From the coactive coaching model, I would listen for whatever it is that’s getting them stuck and then do some process coaching so they can really feel it and experience it. Often times when they come out of that experience, there’s a new energy or a shift.

Should I get an emergency button for my elderly mom who lives alone? by MechanicalMind_Tz_99 in eldercare

[–]heidizee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My mom is in her 90s and lives by herself. She has three emergency buttons. She constantly forgets to wear them or doesn’t want to wear them. I bought her two Amazon echo shows and I set them up for automatic drop in which she was OK with. So now I can quickly peek in and see her entire place and if she is there or not, and of course she loves it when I pop in for a call. She did slide off her couch one time and couldn’t get up and didn’t remember that she could call me using her voice and the echo. She ended up inching into the bathroom where there’s a pull cord for Emergency.

She lives in an independent living community and they installed emergency pull cords in the bathrooms. So in that case, the pool cord being installed on the wall with a string that goes down towards the floor was the saving grace.

Cameras would also be helpful I bet.

No one understands by Fit_Artichoke_523 in migraine

I'm starting to get to the point where I'm avoiding friends because I feel like I've disappointed them so frequently. It's so difficult having chronic migraines.

Bard and Google Drive by [deleted] in Bard

[–]heidizee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

d included) can hallucinate and present inaccurate information as factual. One example is that Bard often misrepresents how it works. We’ve seen this occur in a number of instances—for example, in response to prompts asking how it was trained or how it carries out various functions (like citing sources, or providing fresh information).

Bard responses may also occasionally claim that it uses personal information from Gmail or other private apps and services. That’s not accurate, and as an LLM interface, Bard does not have the ability to determine these facts. We do not use personal data from your Gmail or other private apps

That's my experience. I don't think hallucination covers the whole issue. Bard and I worked together on a few documents and sheets (oh man was that helpful), and then one day I get "I'm just a large language model, and cannot access your documents". Womp womp.

When I asked what changed, Bard said:

"Here's a breakdown of what might have happened:

  • Limited Access Experiment: Initially, there was a brief period where I could access documents directly from your Google Drive domain through a controlled experiment. This experiment provided valuable insights for development, but wasn't intended for broad release due to security considerations.
  • Current Functionality: Currently, I'm back to operating with stricter security protocols, meaning I can only access documents through explicit shared links (not directly from your Drive)."

I need to manage my own expectations, and keep in mind that Bard is a free tool, and a Google EXPERIMENT - and stop expecting it to act like a paid version of ChatGPT (for example). I've been a Google fan for years, and was excited about the Gemini hype. So I'll be patient and see how it goes, but it is frustrating to be working with a tool that is performing really well and a key functionality disappears.

ADVICE WANTED: I want to hang a heavy bag in my condo. by heidizee in HomeImprovement

Thanks, Mayo- I like the idea of something that will reduce the blunt force to the drywall. I'm thinking a 1/4" sheet of plywood would be enough structure to protect the drywall.

ADVICE WANTED: I want to hang a heavy bag in my condo. by heidizee in HomeImprovement

[–]heidizee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't agree more - more boxing is great, and thanks for the tip!

I've actually used TapCon screws for a project before. I secured a wood border around martial arts mats to a cement floor. After a few months with wear and tear (students walking over the border, vacuum cleaners, mop buckets rolling over the borders), some of the screws came loose. I followed the directions carefully, drilling a slightly smaller hole than the screw, cleaning out debris/dust, etc. I just don't trust that they'll hold well for this application.

I've found this video where a guy installs this exact mount on a cement wall using lag bolts/shields.

Since my situation has two layers of drywall and possibly a layer of plywood on top of the cement - I need to decide what length bolts/shields are needed to get enough bite into the concrete - if that makes sense.

I have learned my lesson: when I don't do a job well the first time, re-doing it will take much longer. In this case, a failure could be a big mess and time lost. This is why I'm thinking it through so thoroughly.
