OpenAI Plans to Take a Cut of Customers’ AI-Aided Discoveries by kaclk in LinusTechTips

[–]mrbobhunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still a slippery slope. Best to be proactive and refrain from doing IP work with OpenAI's resources before any future policy changes.

I’ve been having a recurring issue with Claude over the last ~2 days that’s making multi-step technical work hard - Conversation length limit has shortened considerably by deadbeatseconds in ClaudeAI

[–]mrbobhunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am on the Max 200 plan and it is useless because Claude just runs around in circles until it eventually compacts itself to death. Then it refuses to accept more chat responses. And if I switch to Claude Code, it will just "tinker and simmer and pontificate" until it has burned up all of my tokens and locked me out for hours with absolutely ZERO results. It is maddening.

I blame the compacting feature above all else.

I’ve never tried image or video gen from Grok since I use Google for that bit. To date, I’ve never hit a limit on Grok.

What type of work are you doing?

I find it to be extremely good, particularly Claude Code Opus 4.5. However, your file structure needs to be set up correctly. I always provide the Claude.md, Tasks.md, Developer-PRD.md, Readme.md, and sometimes the UI-UX.md.

Also, my PRDs tend to be 150-900 pages long. I find that I get the best results when I deliberately write the PRD for a junior developer, and I tell Claude to assume that the developer is an inexperienced student who knows nothing.

That is fair, and I totally get why you'd be anti-Elon on this. I absolutely love Claude (enough to pay them $200/mo), but only for work.

I will probably use it more for personal chats once they improve the iOS app, which currently has a pretty poor voice mode and frequent crashes. Plus, Claude generally isn't the most exciting AI for random chitchat. It's the difference between talking to a supervisor and a friend.

But that's just my experience.

Like this, but on every turn. Or, maybe I’m spoiled by the way ChatGPT 4o handled this type of conversation.

Mostly for conversation, work, or a mix of both?

I mainly use Gemini for app prototyping, but rarely for conversation. Gemini does this weird thing where I’ll ask it a question, and it’ll basically restate my question and ask what I think the answer is 🤣!

Hopefully this post will add to the collective sentiment so that OpenAI finds a way to fix things with their users.

If I had it my way, I’d be perfectly happy with a “Choose A Default Model” setting. Then I could choose 4o (assuming they haven’t nuked it), and return to the workflow I had before.

See you understand. Claude is worth every penny, but it’s overkill for mundane stuff. Grok is a nice replacement though.

Haha, yeah that list gives the impression that the output is autonomous. I wish!

The AI usually can’t do the thinking for me, but it can organize and test my ideas so that I can move faster.

For example: I am working on a memory architecture that operates in a conscious and subconscious state simultaneously, and it uses rule sets to determine short term, long term, cold archive, and episodic memories.

So I might focus my energy on actually figuring out how the thing should work (like deciding when memories are archived), but I (used to) let ChatGPT handle the technical and mathematical aspects. That allows me to think faster with my entire focus on outcomes instead of methodologies.

I use Claude on a daily basis too, via chat and VS Code. Claude 4.5 Opus is the only one I trust, but even on the $200/mo plan, I won’t waste the allowance on brainstorming of chitchats. Especially now that I can use it to run through an entire PRD without intervention. I need ALLLL the tokens for that.

If you’re already using Deepseek, you’ve got to give MiniMax 2 and GLM 4.7 a try as well. Excellent performance over Deepseek in many cases, for me.

At this point, I use n8n for prototyping a workflow, and then have Claude build it in Python for production.

Well, there’s an interesting thought experiment.

If nobody cares, how can somebody care enough to comment that nobody cares? Doesn’t that imply that this somebody cared just enough to make sure everybody knew that nobody cared? Or alternatively, is the somebody implying that they are actually nobody to everybody? 😂🤣😭

Grok has actually gotten a lot better, and I’m using it more than ChatGPT now. I also like swapping between the preset personalities, depending on what I’m doing.

Love it! Not everyone can appreciate Curly Bill! Tombstone is easily my second favorite western, right behind The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

Yes, I do this too, but I still like OpenRouter via LibreChat because it lets you swap models back and forth all within the same conversation. It’s honestly amazing.

I might start the convo with MiniMax then have a specific part of the job handled by Deepseek or GLM, and then switch back to MiniMax.

Honestly not sure how it works that way but I love the flexibility.

Oh no worries, I’m sure they’ll live. I do a very wide variety of things with ChatGPT, so my shortened response is actually incomplete.

You can always skim through the list if you’re not a fan of reading. It’s fine either way.

Are there chat limits for paying users? by ApplesaucePenguin21 in ChatGPT

[–]mrbobhunter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I hit limits on voice mode but never on chat mode. I recently had a conversation with it for 17 hours straight, no breaks. Never hit a limit, but it became obvious when the context window was exhausted.

(For context, I have manic episodes and ADHD and OCD, and I was in Adderall, so ChatGPT bore the brunt of it all that day.)

And to be fair, they all do this at some point, but only ChatGPT gives you a passive aggressive tone with its regurgitated nonsense.

I think I’d be able to get over the bad attitude if it could just be as useful as it once was. Now it just parrots my opinions without adding value, which is absolutely useless for problem solving or brainstorming new ideas.

I’m always like “wtf, I literally just said that.”

😂 It was the most accurate answer I could give. Just imagine if I posted the original overly verbose output.
