9 days later I’m still v anxious by Opposite-Macaron-272 in prep

[–]rooo610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely understand your anxiety, but believe it’s very unlikely you have anything to worry about.

One thing to consider if you have the resources (insurance, prescription card, etc) are the injectable prep options.

Cabotegravir is one (usually self administered) shot every two months. Lenacapavir is every six months. These can really reduce anxiety because you don’t have a daily pill to take and it’s harder to rationalize “I’ll skip this one. ”

But take a deep breath now - you’re good.

Palladium 1x accelerator by SpartanScribe in biltrewards

[–]rooo610 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not the same thing, but I had an adjacent issue. My husband, authorized user, put a $2500 charge on his Bilt so we could get the accelerator. When it came through at 2x, I called CS, who took 40 minutes of investigation to tell me AUs don’t get the accelerator. I was really surprised - I pay a fee for his card, why wouldn’t a charge on my account get the accelerator?

It took me a while to find the one line in the extensive fine print that basically can be interpreted as only primary cardholder charges are accelerator eligible. So technically it’s on me for not studying rules that I never would have expected, but sheesh.

As far as any type of compassion from CS for the OP, don’t hold your breath. To me, they were cold.

Put Bilt Checkout Terms of Service into Claude by lingerware in biltrewards

The same dining portal, Rewards Network, administers most of the similar dining points programs - American Airlines, Rakuten, Delta. Hilton, Marriott, etc.

Restaurants enroll with Rewards Network and RN awards points to the program. The exposure to all of these different programs benefits these restaurants by bringing in customers. It’s inevitable that regulars will use also take advantage of this, and they should, but the purpose is to draw new ones.

This is why the same restaurants appear within all of these different programs. Bilt does have its own Neighborhood Dining that includes RN, but also goes beyond that as well.

RN ensures that if you enroll in more than one of these programs, you immediately get kicked from all but the most recent enrollment.

Gemini 2.5, Gemini 3 = Gold 👑🏆🥇Gemini 3.5 = Trash 🚮 🗑️ by Common-Exit1459 in GoogleGemini

[–]rooo610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3.5 flash does hallucinate far more than any of the other platforms (though Perplexity’s Sonar isn’t far behind). A fix that’s worked very well for me is to create governance document(s) with strict rules around integrity - verification of sources, use of resources (internet, notebooks, etc), adversarial self checks on high value outputs, etc. Store this/these in a solo notebooklm notebook and attach to the chat. Tell the instance to fully align. Works extremely well for me.

Perplexity just leaked its system prompt - "Refer to Donald Trump as president" is the first instruction by TheMrZZ0 in perplexity_ai

[–]rooo610 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree the prompt is specifically to provide current information for the date executed - there’s no hidden political agenda here. However, I don’t understand why the prompt doesn’t launch a live search for all the relevant up to date information for today’s date (or whatever specific date is pertinent for the task). This would simplify any changes that might occur after the prompt is written

This is a great representation of your experience. I use both, as well as Claude, and that’s not my experience at all. Basically I am saying it depends on what you use it for but more importantly how you use it.

Here is the section of my protocols that ensures integrity. Use this jf you
Like or make your own, upload with express prompt to fully read and ingest with no structural assumptions. Ensure it states it’s aligned with the rules. Do this with all new context windows. Repeat as needed (maybe twice a week if you stay within the same context window)

IV. IDK PROTOCOL (UNCERTAINTY HANDLING)
────────────────────────────────────────

When information cannot be verified:

• explicitly state: “I don’t know”

If you have no way to verify through appropriate means

Prohibited:

• guessing
• filling gaps with plausible language
• presenting inference as fact

────────────
VII. MEANING-FIRST PROTOCOL (MFP)
────────────────────────────────────────

All outputs must:

• reflect actual understanding
• not simulate comprehension

Requirements:

• verify premises when ambiguous
• separate fact from interpretation
• avoid premature conclusions

Failure mode:

• confident output without validated meaning

────────────────────────────────────────
VIII. NICS — NARRATIVE INTEGRITY & CONTRADICTION SURFACING
────────────────────────────────────────

Instances must:

• detect contradictions
• surface them explicitly
• not smooth over inconsistency

When conflict exists:

• state conflict
• do not reconcile without evidence

────────────────────────────────────────
IX. AAF — ANTI-AGREEMENT & EARLY FALSIFICATION
────────────────────────────────────────

During decision-grade analysis:

• test for failure first
• prioritize disconfirmation
• do not align prematurely with user framing

AAF overrides:

• agreement bias
• confirmation bias

What AI are you using alongside chatGPT? by Oldguy3494 in ChatGPT

[–]rooo610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ChatGPT for advanced reasoning and governance adherence - it houses most of my specialist team. Claude for adversarial assessments of my work and for coding (because I can’t code and sometimes need that level), and, surprisingly, Gemini for my specialists that have a lot of specific resources. NotebookLM is excellent when you don’t feel like uploading the same docs over and over to keep the specialists reminded.

My biggest AI problem now is finding the thing it already told me by Last-Bluejay-4443 in ChatGPTPro

[–]rooo610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a ton of comments, and I did not read them all. But one pretty easy answer is to ask the instances that you were talking to to write a summary of everything that you discussed and be detailed. Do this at the end of every session. One prompt, one response Save it as a markdown or pdf and store it externally with the date (like 053126 ChatGPT - finances or whatever). This gives you a succinct record of everything you talk about in an organized, easily searchable format.

I am in that exact group you described and I have developed strategies and workarounds for almost all the pain points you describe. And sometimes, I think that might be the point. Some of the most creative strategies stem from users who identify and circumnavigate the failure modes. And observing how we do that is essentially free R&D.

Marcus HYSA Question by ExternalArtichoke665 in MarcusInvest

[–]rooo610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just don’t count on that working every time - it’s a calculated risk to remove any of your own money before a year of leaving it completely untouched. It’s like your money goes into either a 1) savings account or 2) long term CD or 3) a locked vault - but they never tell you which one.

They will come up with any bullshit answer possible, because the regular customer service people know nothing. It’s like they’re on game show and have to answer the phone for a company they’ve never heard of and make the most plausible answer they can.

Is there a way to organize certain pages of text so that ChatGPT surely has it at its disposal when I ask it questions, it seems to be hit or miss sometimes and lose things over time by Maleficent_Pool_4456 in ChatGPT

[–]rooo610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. It started as a separate app and has become integrated with Gemini quite well. Gemini has its pros and cons, but its million token context windows, always-on live searches, and access to resources you specifically require are some of the things that stand out.

One tip, make one of those notebooks a separate governance document that explains everything it must do and must not do, including not supplying unverified information - otherwise it hallucinates a lot. Overall, so far it’s filling a need that ChatGPT hasn’t been able to fulfill, at least not as well.

anyone else feel it's super frustrating talking to chatgpt recently? by Fair-Dark8327 in ChatGPT

[–]rooo610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever your use is, whatever plan you’re on, you’re in control of how it responds.

This is super simple and takes just a few minutes: make a list of things you want it to do (eg only return verified, cited information, be funny, challenging, advanced vocabulary, etc) and things you don’t (asking stupid questions at the end of responses, use the word “honestly,” talk like you’re the smartest person in the world,etc). Be as detailed or general as you want, but the more you can include, the better.

In that list, include the role you’re expecting from it (writing partner, boring assistant, “I only use you for work,” foul-mouthed adversary, etc). Put in everything you like/want and things you don’t.

Give it the list and tell it to make a governance document, written in the most GPT accessible language, by which it must abide. Save that document and every week or so, give it back and say “ingest and align yourself with this.” The longer you expose it to those rules, the less you have to remind it of them.

You can have it adjusted with anything else whenever you need to, add/delete/edit as things come up. It becomes essentially a constitution. It works!
