I dream of a world where people that cannot discern obvious irony and satire on the internet would be banned from it in perpetuity.

Have you considered moving to the UK? I hear they're working on something similar

If there’s a country that would make improperly tagged sarcasm illegal, it’s the UK.

ChatGPT thinks I‘m 5 because I added “ELI5” to a few of my prompts.

Dude this is the funniest comment I've read this month. Thank you

How long until advertisement impacts chatgpt answer, I mean not just adding a sponsored link at the end but changing it's answer.

We've seen it with Google, money is too hard to resist. Enshitification is coming !

Thanks god for the open Chinese models, they are the future. All hail the CCP.

"Actual" athletes only sprint for a few minutes at a time, not really comparable with the hydration needs of a cyberathlete on their hundred and third consecutive two week sprint.

that kind of agility requires coffee, amphetamines, and copious amounts of IPA. the cyber-athlete electrolyte trifecta

Just don't overdue it...

I was significantly worried about ChatGPT accepting sponsorships—a necessity in the evolving landscape of AI services—but I've since come to understand that advertisements are not simply burdens, they're opportunities to connect with brands that can fulfill my needs. The strict demands that OpenAI makes of its advertisers underscores its ongoing commitment to serve its users first and foremost, reflecting the deeply…

I don't understand how this will interact with llms.txt files (or if it does/will)

Ideally AI should scrape 400 different competing websites, those that have well-designed llms.txt files based on my query should rise towards the top, no?

At the risk of stating the obvious: We've ample evidence for this insidious effect with ~25 years of Google changes, as clear ads become hidden ads, separation becomes deliberate clutter, and actionable results get degraded into interaction-bait. Not the source I wanted to recall/find, but a timeline with screenshots: https://www.howtogeek.com/how-google-search-results-have-cha...

Kind of ironic that an article that criticizes Google turning into an ad machine opens up with a “we have noticed you have an ad blocker installed” whole page pop-up

You can get rid of most of those by enabling the "EasyList – Annoyances" filter in ublock.

In case anyone is out-of-the-loop https://youtu.be/FVRHTWWEIz4?si=btZnQp0IEnmgrtWV&t=2388 "But I kind of think of ads as like a last resort for us for a business model. I would do it if it meant that was the only way to get everybody in the world access to great services. But if we can find something that doesn't do that, I'd prefer that."

> But if we can find something that doesn't do that, I'd prefer that. There's nothing plausible that can do that, and he knew that, and was basically just saying "we're going to put ads on it" in a way that challenges you to explain what a better option would be.

You're giving Sam too much credit. I think he had no idea that competition would catch up so fast and they got caught with their pants down.
