Agreed. There was a time when it worked impressively well, but it’s become increasingly lazy, forgetful, and confidently wrong, even missing obvious explicit prompts. If you’re using it thoughtfully as an augment, fine. But if you’re relying on it blindly, it’s risky.

That said, in my experience, Anthropic and OpenAI are still miles ahead. Perplexity had me hooked for a while, but its results have nosedived lately. I know they tune their own model while drawing from OpenAI and DeepSeek vs their own true model but still, whatever they’re doing could use some undoing.

Thank you, both! Already deeply engrossed in it.

I’m oblivious. What novel is this?

The kicker is that my brother worked as a repairman for the washer/dryer company at the time. I’m still kicking myself.

When I bought my house in ‘21, I thought my dad was just being an old kook when he told me not to get rid of the fully functional Speed Queen washer and dryer. I wish I’d listened… some of the fancy mid/high-end appliances we bought broke irreparably just days after their warranties expired.

Without delving deeper into these numbers, the politics, mechanics, or absurd cost of education in the US - $2.2B is an absolutely staggering amount of funding for a single institution. To say that it is privileged is an understatement.

Please don’t be mean to me. I’m just trying to get by…

That’s it. That’s the whole thing. Some of us out there are hanging on by a thread.

Tired as Orwellian comparisons are, it’s hard to ignore how much this reeks of a Ministry of Truth.

How about if he threw in the Tesla’s with poor quality and no craftsmanship? Y’know to boost all those American manufacturing jobs, and the mechanics, and Elon’s tax subsidized billions.

One could even say that’s an art of a deal, ay?

My takeaway is that if I don’t go broke on groceries this year I sure as hell will go broke buying some phenomenally promising games (or at least supporting the devs anyway).

Here I am, snorting my wife awake at 2 am because of an unexpectedly hilarious cock joke

With everything going on right now, the fact that I still feel physically sick reading things like this tells me I haven’t gone completely numb yet. Just absolutely repulsive.

Now I wonder what trolling was like back then.

I’m discovering levels of brown nosing I’d never have thought to exist.
