Costing the economy… hahahahahaha

While I hated AOL for reasons, this is the end of an era. RIP

Yeah you can tell ChatGPT-5 to act like 4o. You can even put it into a permanent system prompt. I do think the 4o personality was much chummier, but I’m mainly irritated at what’s already been mentioned here. You put down money for an experience, you like the experience, and then they’re like YOINK.

Yeah GenX is STILL doing this. Though be of good cheer my millennial brethren…When Skynet takes over, we’ll be secure as long as we slave for the overlords. The rest…?

We’ll pray for you.

Pretty soon it will just be AI glasses talking to one another all the way down.

They got the evil bro deal from Nestle

I’m patently against subscriptions but am currently paying for ChatGPT plus. I’m also that girl who’s installed other models on some decently beefy machines and have compared/contrasted. While I also don’t think AI is going to be everything to all people and that it has very specific applications, I’m literally the target audience and I’ve found ChatGPT to be superior in everything except math/complex problems/coding. That’s what I’ve got Mixtral for. ^_

They planned ahead of decades of work rather than the next quarter

I did this drive once. Well, my husband did and I was in the passenger seat so I got a real GOOD look at all the nothing. Late at night we actually stopped and got out because 1) we needed a stretch and 2) there was a full moon. We were far enough out that there weren’t any cornfields either, just undulating hills of sand sparsely covered with grass. It was beautiful in that light, and when we got back in I did some searches on the place.

You may not be surprised to find out that place used to be the bottom of an ocean. Doesn’t look like it’s changed much.

Yeah but these laws are protecting corporate assets so…

Well this makes the situation make more sense. How could you possibly make a profit setting up these factories in America without the use of essentially slave labor?

The Microsoft is dead. Long live the Linux!

This. Also be sure to go to the compatibility section and select ‘Enable Steam Play for all other titles.’ Otherwise you’re borked.

Just for completeness, I like Bazzite for gaming over Linux Mint, but Linux Mint should still work fine.

Heheh I have full respect for Millenials. Notice I just said ‘younger generations’.

Depends on how fringe you go. There’s a remarkable amount of stuff that can be installed from the Program Manager. The ones that aren’t will take some tweaking but… I remember a time when I was trying to do this very thing in Windows 95. If you want it bad enough, you’ll figure it out.

I’m trying to channel my younger GenX, and if it’s a bit of a struggle for younger generations then I encourage them to embrace it. It’s an unfortunate truth that not everything works like it works on an IPhone, and I can’t overstate how important it is to learn some of the basics of the OS and troubleshooting for everyone’s future.

Until we as a society agree to stop paying them and let them experience true losses, they will never return to pleasing the customer.

Seems Firefly Aerospace has got this all sorted, though. Amazing feat for them last week to have a flawless landing.

‘Not sucking’

It occurred to me while playing Helldivers that all the bugs we were killing would probably taste like crab after boiling.

puts on bib and grabs the shell crackers

When one server goes down, it’s taken out back, shot, and replaced on the line.

And then Skynet remembers…
