ChatGPT is full of undocumented limits. I've found the other problem - lengthy chats, where you've provided a lot of context and have iterated over dozens or hundred of prompts, at some point also starts "retrograding" and providing answers to previous prompts instead of what you asked.

If you ask it to generate a file, don't expect the file to be there between now and an undetermined amount of time, because it deletes what it generates shortly after.

Your prompt questions are based on you.
My ChatGPT and other AI tools are pretty good at answering my questions - because I've trained them to respond in a way that I like.

That said, these AI tools are also full of bugs and undocumented limits. For example, if your chat gets too long, the AI will just start ignoring prompt instructions all together, or will recycle old responses for new questions that are not at all relevant.

The limitations of ChatGPT and other tools is also fluid, and very annoying without any sort of way to know when you will hit a wall. For example, sometimes I can ask ChatGPT to write code for me, and it'll write hundreds of lines of code flawlessly. Other times, it'll write 50 or 100 lines of code before buffering out, and requiring additional prompts to keep it going, or just generates useless garbage.

Sometimes I'll ask it to browse websites for me, and it tells me it doesn't have those capabilities, 5 minutes later it works fine.

Most AI tech is all about how you use it. Your prompts, and its "memories" you trained it on

No... I don't want a credit card
No... I don't want to provide corporate welfare by giving you free money for you to donate to your charity
No... I don't want to provide you with my zip code/postal code
No... I don't want to provide you with my email address.
Yes... All my shit is in the bagging area.
No... I don't want to split payments.

All I want to do is checkout.

This seems like a pointless project.

When was the last time you saw a BSOD? And what are you actually going to do other than reboot.

"Your system encountered a problem that we cannot recover from and will reboot in 30 seconds" - Done. That's all the vast, vast majority of windows users needs to see.

Does it need to be any more verbose than that?

Windows is already bloated AF on boot. It takes a full 2-3 minutes for all background loading apps to load on boot/login, which causes a constant barrage of popups.

And this is with all non-essential things disabled.
-VPN
-Time Tracker
-Messaging Clients
-VoIP Software
-Security Software
-Required Driver Loaders & Support programs

Its brutal.

But seriously... why? Who uses Yahoo, and why?

I worked for a call center company that handled Comcast. We intentionally had a mandated hold time of something like 3-5 minutes, so the customers never assumed they could get through immediately. It set forced expectations.

Even if agents were available for a call.

They may sound crass.... but, wouldn't that just be natural selection and the problem correcting itself?

Less people = less food requirement, less energy usage, less water consumption
Less food requirement = less pollution
Less pollution = less potential for climate change

Just let the weak die off, the way nature intended

I agree. Humans suck, and we've somehow made it a lot further than we should for such a selfish species.

Yea. Matt's being a real dick about this.

He made open source software using the GNU license. Now, someone leverages WordPress to build a better hosting system than Automattic did, and he's pissed? This would be like Linus Torvolds going after Amazon or Microsoft for using Linux to power their cloud hosting ecosystem.

Wordpress.org also added a checkbox to their login screen that says "I'm not affiliated with WPEngine in anyway" or something similar.

Interpol is not a police agency. They have no jurisdiction or law enforcement capabilities. They are a broker of collaboration and data sharing between police agencies.

Interpol likely provided information to the South African Government, which allowed them to make the arrests.

free speech doesn't mean free from repercussions, and free speech is only free speech against the government.

But free speech and censorship are two different things. One is controlling what people hear. One is controlling what people say

Out of all the shit America's orange troll dictator is planning, this I can get behind.

Censorship has no real place in a modern society.

"But won't someone think of the children?" - sure. but what are we protecting them from? Swear words? boobs? Things they can see on the internet? Violence? Guns? Things they can see at school.

Let the parents dictate what their kids can and cannot see. Parental Controls exist on pretty much every medium today except OTA broadcast TV and radio.

E-Machines and other computers in the 90's had these nice "Never Obsolete" stickers on the front of them.
I wonder if we can go after Acer for not fulfilling E-Machine's promise of "never obsolete" in the 90's as well.
