"Now ChatGPT can start the conversation" By their own definition, its a feature nobody asked for. Also, this needs a cute/mocking name. How about "vibe living"?

Re: ChatGPT Pulse
#42My pulse today is just a mediocre rehash of prior conversations I’ve had on the platform. I tried to ask GPT-5 pro the other day to just pick an ambitious project it wanted to work on, and I’d carry out whatever physical world tasks it needed me to, and all it did was just come up with project plans which were rehashes of my prior projects framed as its own. I’m rapidly losing interest in all of these tools. It feels…
Thanks for sharing this. I want to be excited about new tech but I have found these tools extremely underwhelming and I feel a mixture of gaslit and sinking dread when I visit this site and read some of the comments here. Why don't I see the amazing things these people do? Am I stupid? Is this the first computer thing in my whole life that I didn't immediately master? No, they're oversold. My experience is normal.
It's nice to know my feelings are shared; I remain relatively convinced that there are financial incentives driving most of the rabid support of this technology

The LLM does not have wants. It does not have preferences, and as such cannot "pick". Expecting it to have wants and preferences is "holding it wrong".

When smartphones came I first said "I don't buy the camera and microphone that spy on me from my own money."
Now you would be really a weirdo to not have one since enough people gave in for small convenience to make it basically mandatory.

Honestly that's a lot of what i wanted locally. Purely local, of course. My thought is that if something (local! lol) monitored my cams, mics, instant messages, web searching, etc - then it could track context throughout the day. If it has context, i can speak to it more naturally and it can more naturally link stuff together, further enriching the data.
Eg if i search for a site, it can link it to what i was working on at the time, the github branch i was on, areas of files i was working on, etcetc.
Sounds sexy to me, but obviously such a massive breach of trust/security that it would require fullly local execution. Hell it's such a security risk that i debate if it's even worth it at all, since if you store this you now have a honeypot which tracks everything you do, say, search for, etc.
With great power.. i guess.

#50OpenAI is a trillion dollar company. No doubt. Edit: Downvote all you want, as usual. Then wait 6 months to be proven wrong. Every. Single. Time.
I downvoted because this isn’t an interesting comment. It makes a common, unsubstantiated claim and leaves it at that.
