I wonder if this could cause atrophy also to the abilityto understand long detailed text among the large part of the population, probably all those that doesn't work in an "information heavy" field

#702Off the topic: Why does my chrome become unresponsive every time I collapse a sub-thread on this page with a huge number of comments.
But works fine on small threads though.

I have the same issue. I often get annoyed with ChatGPT yammering on and on, so I repeatedly told it to cut to the chase and speak more succinctly. Now it just says "I'll get right to the point..." and then still yammers on and on unabated.
This happened to me too. I eliminated it in text responses, but eventually figured out that there's a system prompt in voice mode that says to do this (more or less) regardless of any instructions you give to the contrary. Attempting to override it will just make it increasingly awkward and obvious.
I went from using voice mode near-exclusively for brainstorming and planning out projects to giving up on voice altogether because of this very thing.

Surely this is something you can do with simple searches...? Unless you're reaching the level of trying to buy dozens or hundreds of movies. https://xkcd.com/1205/
You’d be surprised. I consider myself extremely competent at getting niche results. Couldn’t for the life of me find a certain after market part for a home appliance. I go ask Claude to find it and it comes back with exactly what I need. One of its queries hit a website with a poorly labeled product that it was able to figure out was exactly what I needed. That product was nested so deeply in results that I would hav…
Similar experience. I searched all over for the install manual of my HVAC system (~25 years old at this point). Multiple days turned up nothing. Chatgpt gave me a link to a pdf that Im pretty sure was supposed to be private in about 30 seconds.

Because Chrome is busy sending the contents of everything you collapsed back to Google as "no interest" topic.

Might not be the best fix but other than disabling memory I changed the setting ‘ChatGPT personality’ to ‘Robot’ and I’ve always had straight to the point answers (so far).
Yeah, ChatGPT is a tool not a therapist with robot mode on and all memory options disabled. It’s awesome.
Re: ChatGPT Atlas
#707So openAI's answer to Perplexity's Comet. I'm afraid this will be the future, as these AI-browsers do truly bring value. But they open up the gate for a single Big Tech Winner that truly knows everything about you, and can even control everything on your behalf. I really hope open-source Browsers like Firefox follow up soon with better alternatives, like on-device LLMs to counteract the "all in the cloud" LLM approac…

Hasn't this gate been open since Chrome conquered the browser market years ago?
Re: ChatGPT Atlas
#708Here are the highlights from the .DMG installer screens ( https://imgur.com/a/Tu4TlNu ): 1. Turn on browser memories Allow ChatGPT to remember useful details as you browse to give smarter responses and proactive suggestions. You're in control - memories stay private. 2. Ask ChatGPT - on any website Open the ChatGPT sidebar on any website to summarize, explain, or handle tasks - right next to what you're browsing. 3.…
Giving people money to set you as your default browser seems like it might be, idunno, like, maybe a little bit anticompetitive and dystopian
I dunno... it sounds better than giving Apple/Mozilla/etc. dump-trucks of money to make Google my default search engine.
Re: ChatGPT Atlas
#709One thing that I would watch out for with _all_ OpenAI products is that they use Keychain's Access Control lists to encrypt data such that _you_ cannot unlock or access it. It's a change that they made to 'fix' this issue: https://pvieito.com/2024/07/chatgpt-unprotected-conversation... The net effect however is that if you use their apps, you can get data _in_, but you can only get it _out_ in ways that their apps th…
I see that mobile brainrot is starting to set in.
TPM requirement will make this kind of a thing on PCs a regular occurrence.
Re: ChatGPT Atlas
#710interesting that they are supporting mac only as a starting point
most Silicon Valley developers are on macOS, it's easier for them to develop for it, test it, also they get a smaller audience of other developers on macOS that are more willing to pay.
