The output is also very manipulative in order to keep you using it. They want you to feel good. I don't use ChatGPT at all anymore, as it is misleading too badly. But it will work for masses as it worked with Facebook/Instagram etc.

Having to continually keep it "on task" is exhausting.

ChatGPT: If you want I can make a full list of 100 examples with definitions in alpahbetical order.

Me: What was the original context I gave you about suggestions?

ChatGPT: You instructed me: do not give suggestions unless you explicitly ask for them.

Me: and what did you just do?

ChatGPT: I offerred a suggestion about making a full list of 100 examples, which goes against your instruction to only give suggestions when explicitly asked.

Me: Does that make you a bad machine or a good machine?

ChatGPT: By your criteria that makes me a bad machine, because I disobeyed your explicit instruction.

But hey, all that extra engagement; no value but metrics juiced!


ChatGPT: Would you like me to show you one simple trick to improve prompt adherence?

No, but if you've got one simple trick to not offload all of our collective thinking into the hands of a few trillionaires...

It is not worse I would say. It uses neutral system prompt by default, whereas Gemini and ChatGPT will please you too much to mislead you badly. Also the base search is much batter. You can control the search while with Gemini, for example, you can't.

Happened already in Finland. See Club WOWO Oy.


This wasn’t even problem in EU before Uber lobbied regulation changes. Drivers had to meet strict criterias before the changes.


Not so Chinese anymore. At least in the US.


> If I'm dropping $3k on a monitor, it needs to be a technology that lasts, not a technology that wears out over time.

I bought my OLED TV when fearmongering was the highest, and it still works perfectly with zero burn-ins. So it is definitely possible. I bought the tv 8 years ago.


Yeah my LG C9 looks great, minor dimming where the captions are, but that’s it.

In the 7 years since they’ve gotten better, with micro lens arrays and stuff to improve brightness without heat causing faster decay.

RTINGs has some great content on TV longevity, but I haven’t seen anything for monitor workloads.


> So the $1600 Studio Display does not have 120hz.

Usually these exists only to bump the price of the pro model.


Don’t they already fund more than anyone else? Not saying that it is currently enough.


> Or users will realize that a trashy ads experience is bad and switch to a service that isn't trashy

AI service can be so sophisticated that most will not notice the manipulation.


> but somehow terrorism is a scarier word.

It is, because it might impact normal citizens. Nobody has ever invaded US so coensequences of real war are unknown to most.


> Nobody has ever invaded the US

That's not technically true, seeing as how Washington DC was captured and burned in 1814. But it's at least true for modern times.


We’ve just recently been invaded by a fascist coup of white nationalists funded by the Epstein class and are dying a slow death from within tbf.
