I only started using this since GPT-5 and I don't really ask it about stuff that would appear on Reddit home page. I do recall that I wasn't impressed with 4o and didn't use it much, but IDK if you would have a different expe

I have only had to manage this in a startup context with relatively low stakes and it was hard and messy. I don't know what best practice is at the scale that openai operates, but from my limited experience I have an intuition that the

I'm not commenting on the core point of your comment, only the "why retain for 30 days" question. Im an age of automated backups and failovers, deleting can be really hard. Part of the answer could simply be that syncing a de

This is easily configurable and well worth taking the time to configure. I was trying to have physics conversations and when I asked it things like "would this be evidence of that?" It would lather on about how insightful I was an

I was wondering that myself too. Also, do moderators ever move comments around? I thought one comment was a child to my comment last I looked, but now it's a top level comment to this post. I'm not sure if I am mistaken or a moder

This is really interesting and way more compelling evidence to me of gender bias in the LLM than response bias in the prompt and context. Thank you for taking the time to approach this scientifically and share the evidence with us. I apprec

That's not a very scientific stance. What would be far more informative is if we looked at the system prompt and confirm whether or not the bias was coming from it. From my experience when responses were exceptionally biased the source

I have been building applications on LLMs since GPT-3. Thousands of hours of context engineering has shown me how LLMs will do their best to answer a question with insufficient context and can give all sorts of wrong answers. I've foun

Tesla was once the most shorted company of all time. GameStop forced the system to adapt in ways that makes shorting harder to track. It's unclear how much of the old short positions (when Tesla was valued around $20bn) are still open.

I agree wholeheartedly that it's about getting things done, and is what the universe cares about. As individuals we enjoy being in flow, and when the nature of the work changes we may lose our flow and shake our fists in frustration...

Yeah, I screwed up here. I don't have a background in psychology or sociology (academically) but they are subjects that interest me. I was introduced to DK by pop psychology, especially in business management contexts. The reason I wan

Interesting. So just to be clear... You are claiming that it is not self-evident that people learn things over time? That it's not self-evident that experts start out as beginners?

Out of curiosity, if you google "Dunning Kruger Effect" and then look at the images, and see all those charts of confidence vs competence, do you disagree with them? And as I responded to your other comment, just because the study

Well that was in reference mostly to the OP Article of the robbers who thought they were invisible and didn't hide from the Cameras. I can see how what I wrote could be interpreted the way you did though. It's not how I meant it.

It's the relationship of confidence and competence. Competence is gained over time. The "over time" is almost self-evident since no one is born a master of a skill or subject. And if it's not self-evident enough for you,

Yeah that was poorly worded. I edited it even before I read your comment. However the over-time aspect is kind of self-evident. No one is born a master of any skill or subject. So while the original research was based on a snapshot of many
