This happens with GPT-5 (instant) but not on Thinking mode. The instant response mode is just so much worse than the Thinking mode, I wish I could turn it off entirely and default to Low Thinking mode (still fast enough for live convo)

About a year ago I switched my Windows machine to Kubuntu, and WOW! What an incredible OS that is. The best I've ever used. Unfortunately... it's not compatible with many things I need. I then sold my computer and switched to Mac

Skills are cool, but to me it's more of a design pattern / prompt engineering trick than something in need of a hard spec. You can even implement it in an MCP - I've been doing it for a while: "Before doing anything, sea

Their Cinema camera was so far ahead of it's time there still isn't anything that comes close to it's specs. It's like it's from another universe.

A freelance crypto developer is likely to have access to repos of other Blockchain projects, once his machine is compromised the attackers may be able to push malicious code to other repos and spread the virus or execute an attack like the

Here's what I tell people at work: It's OK to use AI, but you must say it's AI. If you post something and say "Here's what GPT-5 says" - great. Love the efficiency. If someone asks you to do something and you r

So he was effectively carrying $15B in his wallet? That's insane. I don't even carry more than $100 cash.

My friends and I rented a Wagoneer and found that the electronic feature to flip the rear seats down worked while there were people in those seats, while the vehicle was in motion! So of course every hour when the boys weren't paying a

ChatGPT had Santa mode last year where you could talk to Santa using Advanced Voice. I thought it was pretty cool because as adults we're used to turn-based conversation, speaking clearly, and waiting for a response. That did not happe

Worth noting that this whale has/had $10B worth of Bitcoin. So his $27M in profits is a whopping 0.27% gain while the rest of his portfolio dipped 10%.

Where are you getting that? Gpt-5-codex has absolutely blown my mind at how good it is even compared to GPT-5. One year ago we were at Sonnet 3.5, which needed a ton more handholding to complete tasks. The difference between say 3.5 and 4.5

I think it really is different though because there's no network effect required for ChatGPT. Unless you're talking about the training data they get from those users which probably is invaluable.

Yes, their capex spending is mind-blowing. Astronomical. But OpenAI has also pretty much lived up to its promises so far. I don't see them straight up lying to investors the same way that Tesla does. Not only has OpenAI launched multip

I suspect it does RAG on my previous convos, so this wouldn't work fully, but to some extent yes that would help.

I pay for the $200/mo ChatGPT, to me that's insanely cheap compared to the value it provides. Better pricing is highly unlikely to make me switch. If a competitor were able to sustain a lead in model intelligence/capability t

Much of the value I get from ChatGPT is based on it's memory system that has a good profile on me. For example if I ask it to find me something to eat at X restaurant, it will already know my allergies, dietary preferences, weight goal

Crypto is very difficult to value in terms of cash flows, whether BTC should be $120K or not is a big question mark. Regular companies do have standard valuation techniques that are currently silly.

That's the promise of tokenized securities! Securitize + BlackRock are trying to make that happen. This should remove a lot of middlemen to the trading and settlement process.

One interesting approach to this is the gas auction system in DeFi where (on Ethereum) traders bid to have their trades included first in a block, and that additional payment is burned / accretive to ETH holders. Though that turns &quo

So you wouldn't know what the three numbers are ahead of time, you'd have to be using a real time face replacement model (or I guess live-switching between pre-rendered clips) and somehow convince the app that you're the iPho
