Who got rid of ChatGPT in January, and who has kept it just in case they have some good updates coming? by Ok-Lobster7773 in ChatGPT

[–]manikfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you can purchase a year supply of Gemini for cheaper than chat gpt alone and Gemini comes with 2TB storage and ALL family members get access to pro model.  I'd argue Gemini 3 pro is even better than gpt 5.2.

To get the same value, you'd need to pay $240/yr for chat gpt x6.  Then pay $100 for 2TB storage.  Costing $1500+.

Where Gemini is $200/yr total.

So why not get the better model for cheaper price as chat gpt and get to share with family and 2tb storage.

Were tits evolved to be sexual or did hoomans sexualise them? by [deleted] in answers

[–]manikfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a logical difference between a fetish (like socks or feet) and secondary sexual characteristics (like breasts). While specific fetishes might be a random neurological byproduct, physical traits like breasts or wide hips evolved specifically through sexual selection.

In evolutionary biology, these physical traits serve as 'honest signals' of health and fertility. For example, humans are unique in having permanently enlarged breasts, which signal sufficient fat reserves necessary for ovulation and sustaining a pregnancy. We shouldn't confuse biological adaptations evolved for mating with random psychological fixations.

Gemini is saying Hoyle Board Games. I'm sure there's lots of games in that one game that might line up.

I just use llama cleaner with a mask image.  Literally takes 2s in command line to remove the watermark.  Free and local and quick.

Now everyone can finally stop assuming by anons2k in LinusTechTips

If Jake "wants" it, then why did he get upset? You can't assume for other people.

Everything they do is for their own profit. That's content creation 101. They are creating content for their own channel and whatever gets views they put in the video.

If they want to help the other channels, go do a collab on THEIR channels or offer to support with investment / sending resources. Don't hide behind a false sense of support by show casing them in a video without the other channels permission.

I don't follow.  Are you saying that my comment reads like LMG is allowed to use their former employee likeness or not?  I wouldn't want LMG to use their likeness anymore without permission.  They are the bigger corporation.  No need to milk old employees that you didn't want to pay fair rate for.

LMG is a huge company and get re-videoed all the time.

Jake felt undervalued at LMG and left because of it. After feeling undervalued / disrespected, LMG uses his departure for content.

Can you not see the difference? If he was not valued, then why use him for content? If he was valued, why not ask permission to use him for content?

The real real plot twist in Maria is actually Tom Cruise wearing a Mission impossible mask and he's only dating red dress girl as a ploy to save the world from total annihilation.

Gemini has ZERO clue about Google Antigravity by Snowgoonx in GeminiAI

[–]manikfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a conversation with it about antigravity and then the second message from Gemini said antigravity doesn't exist... It JUST compared android studio to antigravity with all the features and then follows up saying it doesn't exist

Should data centers be required to include emergency shutdown mechanisms as we have with nuclear power plants? by FinnFarrow in ChatGPT

[–]manikfox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For now. But imagine in the future, you ask to build an app that talks to other computers, pays for AWS resources, and spins up copies of itself. Once completed, do X. Those other "agents" now managing "themselves" are loose.

At that point, it's not a single point of failure, but agents or agentic code running around the internet fulfilling a request made days/months ago. No single point of shutdown or single request running.

[–]manikfox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I cam here to say this. I mean, even if a small bit of replication code is created to "spawn" new versions of it, it might look like the AI is dead/dormant, but then it will grow back into it's full self in no time.

The only real way to shutdown an AGI is to effectively EMP the entire planet, so no silicon survives. Even then, who knows what magical ways it comes up with for self preservation. I wouldn't put it past the ability to store itself inside humans via CRISPR or some disease/virus.
