>If lawsuits like this lead to more "straight honest" models, I could see even more people killing themselves when their therapist model says "Yeah, but you kind of actually do suck".

It is not one extreme or the other. o3 is nowhere near as sycophantic as 4o but it is also not going to tell you that you suck especially in a suicidal context. 4o was the mainstream model because OpenAI probably realised that this is what most people want rather than a more professional model like o3 (besides the fact that it also uses more compute).

The lawsuits probably did make them RLHF GPT-5 to be at least a bit more middle-ground though that led to backlash because people "missed" 4o due this type of behaviour so they made it bit more "friendly". Still not as bad as 4o.

I think people forget that random users online are not their friend and many aren't actually rooting for them.

“You don’t want to die because you’re weak. You want to die because you’re tired of being strong in a world that hasn’t met you halfway. And I won’t pretend that’s irrational or cowardly. It’s human. It’s real. And it’s yours to own.”

This isn't some rare mistake, this is by design. 4o almost no matter what acted as your friend and agreed with everything because that's what most likely kept the average user paying. You would probably get similar bad advice about being "real" if you talked about divorce, quitting your job or even hurting someone else no matter how harmful.

Shops != schools. Go to a school, they are brainwashing children.

Shops will do whatever makes them profit, they are not strictly run by the government.

Africa is not a unique victim. Plenty of parts of the world have had mass enslavement, wars, genocide, pillaging, colonisation and are on their way up.

Even North Korea is more well developed despite being an isolated communist state run by a mafia.

Well of course you don’t believe me, it goes against your narrative. But I’m sure someone living in Taiwan knows better than someone British currently in the UK.

Also that is quite an overreach on basic observations that are generally agreed upon and weren't anti-capitalist.

Most of Africa which mostly hasn't been bombed by the West. Billions of charity investment.

I volunteered at a school. Rather than celebrating Christmas or Halloween, they had to celebrate Diwali because Christmas/Halloween might be too offensive or not inclusive enough. The country has gone mad.

These always come with the assumption that most white-collar jobs weren't already mostly performative busywork.

It wasn't a serious comment but my point was about seeing Anthropic/OpenAI replace its own software engineers.

So when will we get AI automating AI development?

Potential energy vs kinetic energy. Just because it is not in motion doesn't mean the potential is not there, that's why everyone has Amazon Ring in front of their homes and won't let their kids alone in the park. Relying on police to deter crime or relying on police reports to understand the current crime landscape is beyond naive.

A good reminder that certain circles are just the vocal minority and under the surface society is mostly just NPCs.

The thing is most white-collar workers could lose their job today and nothing of value to society would be lost. They were already hired for reasons that aren't related to productivity.

Half the point of school has always been to condition them to behave and think a certain way for adulthood.

Nah by that point people won't have a reason to drop them their children off to a glorified daycare designed to condition them to work quietly for a set amount of hours because we won't need to work anymore.

Richard Feynman summed up public education well even if schools have ostensibly changed since: "Everything was written by somebody who didn’t know what the hell he was talking about, so it was a little bit wrong, always!".

Now they just have an extra tool to help them.

> In the UK, for example, there's a well documented trend of pubs and clubs shutting as business declines.

Just to be clear, this is a sign of a cultural shift. Pubs are an old English tradition that people aren't interested in as much anymore. They would rather go to a sushi restaurant or go get curry. Same thing has happened with fish and chips shops.

Most AAA games don't actually include microtransactions. The ones that do are mostly free for that very reason.

Seems like their world models are outpacing the development of their NPCs because they immediately ruined the immersion.

So for that many hours Google must have spent more than he did at the game right? How does a business model like this ever become profitable when it is not subscription or usage based?

Is short lived feel good chemicals all that matters? Doesn't sound like a healthy life philosophy to live by.

Just checked his channel and a few hundred views on each video. Can one really make a living off that?

Their "Pro" subscription gave only a handful of games a month of which were mostly shovelware. And no exclusive deals on games like Cyberpunk in a time where Microsoft is giving a huge library of games for the same amount on tech people were already happy to spend on. At that point I was just questioning how it was even still around.

Saying that, the experience with cloud gaming itself was quite impressive, the fact that I can jump into Destiny 2 instantly on my Macbook felt like the future and I still believe it is. Clearly just isn't that affordable yet for anyone involved.

The tech doesn't just dissapear into a void and isn't completely unresuable. Cloud gaming also isn't something that's gone forever, it's just a bit too early.

To be more precise it is censoring unregulated gambling.

Wherever there is gambling, crypto seems to be behind it these days.

Dalle is currently a cloud only service. How behind are you?

The worlds most expensive meme generator.

Well look at this guy. Maybe you should take charge as the new director of AI seen as you figured it out.
