    What do you suggest for articulating the writing style that one wants from LLMs? I’ve been experimenting with having LLMs write/update academic notebooks for me, and so far the bes…

    I noticed the same thing. In the app, normal “Chat” threads are only available via a “Checking recent chats” window, while projects, GPTs, library… are completely absent. The web v…

    I’m interested in knowing how each of GPT 5.6’s variants fare in non-English writing/translation tasks. GPT 5.5 has a tendency to write English calques and non-idiomatic prose in o…

    I wonder why they haven’t simply continued to rebrand Codex as a general-purpose tool. ChatGPT Work is a convoluted name and continues the trend of having separate brands for separ…

    In a few years Sony executives will be wondering why a portion of their consumer base decided to prioritize other forms of entertainment. I can speak for myself in that I’ve never …

    I’ve been experiencing similar feelings. Working with LLMs often takes almost as much mental energy as working with people, but the payoff does not always scale in the same way. I …

    Buying a camera or car is different from paying a subscription, right? Different expectations

    Surely there should be a way to enable deep links with a fallback to Safari without needing Gmail to know what apps I’ve got installed

    I got 68,900 words, with the vast majority of the errors being on the grandmaster level. As a non-native English speaker, I found that result pretty good! Though being a native Por…

    Yak shaving with AI allows me to function more as a systems designer, code reviewer and tester than a coder per se. AI is great if you simultaneously guide it and let it guide you.…

    I always liked yak shaving, but avoided it because I knew it came with costs and tradeoffs. More recently, with the help of AI, I’ve been doing lots of it, as the costs and tradeof…

    I hadn’t thought about that, it’s a valid use case and likely to have increasing demand as drone deliveries become commonplace in the next few years.

    Very convincing indeed! I really want to know what AI made that, as I’m looking forward to creating personal/customized music in a similar way.

    I wonder why Google doesn’t bother competing with Microsoft in the flight simulation niche. All that Google Maps data would be pretty cool to use for that purpose, but instead we’v…

    I disagree. I’d prefer if my government invested more in AI solutions, so as not to depend so much on foreign technology. In an ideal world, Brazil would have a thriving private se…

    I wouldn’t describe what happened here as incompetence. As a “carioca”, I am pleasantly surprised to know that the government’s IT department is involved in AI work — even without …

    That “Don’t Insure Me” option hidden in the middle of a country list is pure evil. I’m used to seeing dark patterns everywhere but that’s a first for me. From where I stand, it’s n…

    Not OP but, anyway, AI output should be treated like any other source material. I study from reputable sources every day and never cease to be amazed by how many errors or misconce…

    > Voice AI only feels natural if conversation moves at the speed of speech […] At OpenAI’s scale, that translates into three concrete requirements: Global reach for more than 900 m…

    Extremely high! Those various caveats there — “value-aligned”, “safety-conscious”, “case-by-case agreements” — probably mean that no project ever will be “worthy” of OpenAI’s assis…

    Five-figure minimum spend sounds pretty expensive for the vast majority of businesses out there. Of course, just a drop in the bucket for major brands.

    Will we also see a GPT-5.5-Codex version of this model? Or will the same version of it be served both in the web app and in Codex?
