Even after turning off location services and turning on airplane mode, your geolocation is still tracked. It’s nearly impossible to prevent this unless you go completely off grid.

Myself and my entire editorial team including our VP were laid off because of AI. The content the company produces now is nowhere near what our team was producing (niche scientific writing on psychedelics). Now it's pure clickbait designed to drive views for ad revenue. After three months of job hunting ive decided to go back to school for my masters and eventually a Ph.D. in a field that probabl…

Honestly, I work in IT, and I work with AI fairly extensively in a development context - its still a fair ways off replacing humans. I don't think it ever will in certain contexts. What I do think will happen, is that a lot of industries will gain specialist "AI Operator" roles. The reason behind this, is that even if AI eventually becomes smart enough to no longer hallucinate and always inter…

I think this is it. Ironically, it seems we have given these people the mirror (ChatGPT), that is normally a bit harder to find, to convince themselves of their delusions. And because it SEEMS like ChatGPT is the one affirming these things, it is easy to accept because something, that isn't supposed to be you, is agreeing. I only skimmed the OP's GPT thread but, even more ironically, if you thin…

you are not alone. I struggle to keep AI on task, one wrong term, assumption or even just a word can screw up the whole session

I wish I can copy and paste your comment on every single negative Reddit post about GPT-5 today. You nailed it man. I agree with you, 100%. For the average user, 4o was all they knew, all they cared about. People are most comfortable with the default “do it all” if you would. I know I was. I personally only used another model if I tapped out on 4o. Well said, my friend. At the end of the day, it’…

I can't imagine how it felt for anyone having found AI partners/best friends with them, it feels like they killed them. **Humans get attached to things, it's normal they create a bond with that as well.** EDIT: Since this thread became controversial over NOTHING, I leave you [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/s/lR2nT9w11H) my fully exaustive response. The TLDR is "AI is not a demon, …

Man.. it's mostly been tech bro hype all along. No dev with actual technical competence who use LLMs regularly believes its gonna go "full AGI" and take over within any reasonable timeframe. The more hype you are/were the more likely it's a skill issue.

Correlation without causation. In fact, the decline in birth rates (read: misnomer as "fertility" rates as that's applying a medical term to a sociological assessment, and actually represents 'getting pregnant' rather than 'successfully popping out new kids') is a laggard indicator evaluated using data from up-to half a decade behind current situations. Also, they are estimates which are incon…

If you’re in the tech sector, you chat with your friends about layoffs. Silicon Valley was an insular community for a while.

My friend recently told me about their boss who clearly uses "AI" to create work-related emails but, for some reason, they're always really long and just repeat the same shit over and over in the most monotone "business casual" style possible - maybe the guy is *really* bad at creating prompts, maybe he doesn't proof-read these emails before sending them, maybe both. It got so bad that said fri…

It’s happened to my school bus in Los Angeles. I reported it to Waymo, no response

>Gordon-Levitt also criticized the economic model of generative AI, accusing companies of building models on “stolen content and data” while claiming “fair use” to avoid paying creators. How is the training *not* protected by "fair use", though? Do I not have a First Amendment right to take copyrighted artwork and do math on it to create something new and transformative?

The execs did. I saw why yesterday: Google became so good they all but cornered the search market. 90% or something. With the AI, they have yet another way to have to do multiple searches as you try to see if the info you got is legit. That means another opportunity to get ads shown to you. The biggest thing that will hold back superintelligence isn't the AI itself, but the execs looking t…

Wasnt he community noted in twitter for his tirade against India and later just vanished for many months?

I think companies only care about their own business and not the job market or the overall economy, i think they are only focused on the near future and maybe hope for AI to eliminate most jobs and they can poach the few employees they need from competitors?

According to a friend who is in some relevant circles, Anthropic's CEO is a cute little baby in their first week alive whothinks he can just have reasonable policy discussions where conflicts are discussed and he, presumably, single handedly convinces the US military spying on civilians is bad.

Honestly the way things are trending code is getting in easier and easier lol. Quality is in the shitter in the name of velocity. Everyone is stressed about potentially being canned so they're pumping PRs out left and right most of which are majority AI.

Are Gen Z killing the "Millennials are killing the [X] industry" industry? The answer might shock you.

In 18 months, we’ll all be burned alive as human fuel for the AI data centers.
