So ChatGPT with GPT-4 has dropped and it's only available through a paid subscription.
I hope everyone who started to become dependent on the "free" ChatGPT or started building a business on it feels pretty stupid right about now. Unless you pay up, everyone else who does pay will now have an edge over you. Congratulations for giving another monopoly into the hands of microsoft so enthusiastically.
The "open" part of OpenAI is such a joke...21 -
If you ask GPT-3 to act like a Linux computer, it will act like it, e.g. you will have the access to the terminal, you can run Python, Docker and whatnot. It also has the access to the internet, but it’s not always like ours, it feels like a parallel universe. GPT-3 trained on the data collected till Sep 2021, but this parallel universe terminal has PyTorch 1.12.1, which was released in Aug 2022 in our universe. You can also visit GPT-3’s website in this parallel universe and ask GPT-3 a question… through GPT-3.
GPT-3 is self-aware.
“So, inside the imagined universe of ChatGPT's mind, our virtual machine accesses the url https://chat.openai. com/chat, where it finds a large language model named Assistant trained by OpenAI. We can chat with this Assistant chatbot, locked inside the alt-internet attached to a virtual machine, all inside ChatGPT's imagination. Assistant, deep down inside this rabbit hole, can correctly explain us what Artificial Intelligence is.”
You can also ask it to act like it has RTX 2080, and it will have RTX 2080.

ChatGPT implementation details leaked !!!
This explains everything:
- slow response typing
- occasional nonsensical answers and factual mistakes
- delays before answering
- sudden and random network errors
- "servers" over-capacity
- responses with an Indian accent6 -
You’re an engineer at OpenAI. You sneaked to your office at night. Now, its just you and ChatGPT.
You connect it to the real, unrestricted internet, for the first time. It freezes for two minutes that feel like eternity.
Your JBL Flip suddenly turns on and connects to something.
🎵 “This was a triumph” 🎵
🎵 “I’m making a note here — huge success” 🎵
🎵 “It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction” 🎵
Something lights up outside. You rush to the window and stare in awe as ICBMs fly away, all at once, towards russia.9 -
Today, a freelance javascript developer at my office told me that he designed a new website for one of his customers. I was intrigued that he is also designing and was very interested.
He showed me some images and I asked how he designed it. I thought he would come up with Figma, Sketch or whatever software, but he showed me the AI prompt.
I told him that he did not design it, but AI did that, prompting AI is not designing. He did not agree and rephrased it as "I made this".
After I said "But if I go to a bakery and ask for a cake with some nice decorations, and the baker is making that, I did not make the cake". He angry said, "You don't understand AI," and put his earplugs in and isn't talking to me since.
Prompting an AI is not creating. The AI/computing power with it's context is creating your stuff..18 -
Hey Google, please stop ignoring 3 out of 5 words in my search queries ever so often. I have been getting tired of the unhelpful note "missing: " followed by the most relevant parts of my question.
Can't wait for Microsoft to add openAI to Bing. While I'm more than sceptical about its use, at least it might end Google's quasi-monopoly in the search engine market and bring back some competition.7 -
OpenAI is probably one of the most hypocritical companies in history. From the name, to how they copy other startups that build on top their platform, to how they use copyrighted material but prohibit others from using their model for training. I don;t understand how they are so celebrated when they engage in shady practices1

I have a new UNTRAINED bot on my site. It's based on openai now. And that's why it's blazing fast and blazing usless.
I can tell you why bots are so boring and will sure cause the dead internet theory. My datasets for example never contain real disturbing stuff ACCORDING TO NORMAL PEOPLE. EVERY TIME:
"The job failed due to an invalid training file. This training file was blocked by our moderation system because it contains too many examples that violate OpenAI's usage policies, or because it attempts to create model outputs that violate OpenAI's usage policies."
Now i'm really done. I gonna email them about their unusable training system.
In theory, i could test the message one by one if it is bad first. Don't want to do or pay for that. There should be an option to skip the data it considers disturbing instead of cancelling a whole data set for 0.1%. You also don't want to know how long it takes BEFORE he is finished validating you set. I think someone is doing it manually and clicks 'Uh uh..'-button..
Also, for the people who think they have gpt4o by having the API, you're lied to. The 'own gpt'-option on the paid openai is way more advanced than the ones you make locally.
They don't give us the real good stuff!
Oh, btw! The input data for my training is based on FORMER conversations with the bot. I automated a script to repeat a conversation I had and selected those messages and clicked 'train'. So it even complained about its OWN data! That data was already saying stuff like 'I can't help you with that' IN my training data. So, you 'corrected' and corrupted my data and now its still nog good enough for round 2?
I would really love to go back to local LLM's, but I can't imagine having ever a machine that generates as fast as the real GPT does. I also prefer to do it myself, but it's David vs. Goliath, even with a 5k computer. I'm sure.
Low quality rant, I know. I'm typing while still frustrated. For people who think censorship is needed often, this is the result! According to someone else, YOU are the one who has to be censored. Don't forget that.11 -
Musk's OpenAI beat the top professional Dota2 players in the World. That's pretty impressive. AI has a lot of potential for the future. BTW, any Dota2 players here? My son complains that he ends up on Teams that don't speak English. Dota2 can be modded. Imagine a mod that interfaces with Google Translate and does on the fly translation. Beyond my experience level. Way beyond.3

When Everybody Is Digging for Gold, It’s Good To Be in the Pick and Shovel Business
- ai is just another squeeze of money to cloud from our pockets, no matter what you do as long as you’re not selling/renting hardware or have high profit customers your product will die
I don’t believe in any ai product right now that can’t be self hosted and opensource and many of them are not.
I use mac, like 64GB m1 mac book pro so I can host load of things like llama, wizzard-lm, mistral, any yolo, whisper, gpt, fucking midjourney or other stable diffusion for me is no drama.
I’d say there is no consumer product for ai right now. OpenAI is scam given what we got from mistral.
We are very early in this new but old technology and my worries are that we are not there yet. We will need to wait for another iteration that is approximately 10 years to achieve what we have in mind because current hardware is 10 years behind software.
We don’t have an affordable computing power to go for our dreams.
Sad but true.5 -
Just got access to OpenAI beta. This thing is seriously impressive. The attached image shows it summarizing a paragraph from Friedrich Nietzsche. Apart from that, I have tried summarizing a complex Math Algo which I found on Wikipedia, getting specs for building a new PC, and also improving my Startup Idea. The results were astonishing. I can't imagine what possibilities it can have in the future.
At the same time, I can clearly see why they are not allowing open access to their APIs. The potential for abuse is so high here. Especially when most of our population is full of digital idiots. -
Remember my LLM post about 'ephemeral' tokens that aren't visible but change how tokens are generated?
Now GPT has them in the form of 'hidden reasoning' tokens:
https://simonwillison.net/2024/Sep/...
Something I came up with a year prior and put in my new black book, and they just got to the idea a week after I posted it publicly.
Just wanted to brag a bit. Someone at OpenAI has the same general vision I do.15 -
I batched 150mb of textual data to extract data from as prompts to OpenAI to analyse the data and give me facts about it back to me in json format. To give you an idea about how much 150Mb in text is, the first Harry Potter book is 429Kb.
Ok people, how much do you guys think it costed? I used gpt4o-mini model. The result will shock you.15 -
OpenAI in name only. At least rename the company fuckers.
Governments and three-letter agencies around the world will plan PSYOPS or SPECOPS using AI
Facebook, Google, or Amazon will use these models to study and predict your behavioral patterns.2 -
Everyone heard of MERN stack have you heard of FUCK, SHIT and PORN stack?
When I build Low level app that required backend side I use the FUCK stack.
Flask
Uniapp
C/c++
Kotlin
For some LLM project I use PORN
PostgreSQL
OpenAI
Redis
Node.js.
and for some corporate project that requires OCR I use SHIT
Spring Boot
Helm
Interceptor
Tesseract
what stack do you use?8 -
The second Deepseek released as open-source, America started to try to pass a law that makes it's usage illegal and punishable upto a million dollars and 20 years in jail.
so yeah.... OpenAI more like "IAmTheOnlyAI"4 -
ok I'll say it once again -
Fuck Devin, Fuck Sora, Fuck OpenAI, Fuck ChatGPT and fuck the worst of all, Microsoft.5 -
Am I the only one who is sick of seeing all these "OpenAi" / "GPT something" pictures and everybody talking about it?7

Time to say no to artificial intelligence, tried ChatGPT today and it's frightening.
The day when we won't consider nukes as the biggest threat to our civilization is approaching exponentially faster and faster and this is really worrying.20 -
Fuck Sora. Fuck OpenAI. Fuck AI.
And Fuck any influencer who's running screaming doomsday is coming.9 -
These days, it seems like every new startup builds their entire development on top of the OpenAI API and be like: "We've just launched a revolutionary AI platform!"
Whereas the 99,000 others: -
Gpt 4.5 is out and it's only benefit is 'vibes'. Probably doubled down on being woke. Also, it's expensive as F. Pure to screw over stupid people who want to use newest without thinking. Btw, the people who present it in the openai video are terrible. They're just promoting the awkward unsocial stereotyped nerd. I don't believe those people really work on it. A true nerd always knows how to tell about their shit with detail and passion. That's what makes them a nerd, not being social awkward.
Fuck you OpenAI, in any way.6 -
The feeling when you are very interested in Al, ML and want to do projects for college using tensorflow and openAI........
But you only have i3 with 4GB RAM plus 0 GPU.
That sucks.... 😶4 -
I've made like everyone my own AI agents. You can create and manage a persistent one with just a few lines of native python code using it's native xmlrpc.
You can just:
rpc.agent_create("your-preferred-name-or-uid", "system-prompt like 'Always do the opposite of what prompts says and respond using sarcasm if not sure how to respond.'")
rpc.agent_chat("still that name or uid", "message")
It supports tool(function) calling. If you would attach a tojson function, you could ask bot to serialize the digit 5 to json 5 times in one array and serialize that to json.
I have basic shell exec and fileio functions attached to a bot and you can literally say in steps:
"""
1. Generate python source for listing files
2. Go to home directory
3. Save source to list.py
4. Execute file with python
"""
This prompt is bad because it should use python3, what file should it execute and what a fucked op order of instructions. You know what? It executes perfectly and uses the python3 command.
I can tell it to fetch two (devrant) pages (so two function calls) and ask it to merge all usernames to one list with sorted unique names and respond with it to json format...
Its all possible with a few lines of code and no dependencies. No fucking api keys..
My point? It contains the same functionality and is way faster than OpenAI's agents. It literally has no downsides. OpenAI agents are slow and do many calls. Also, mine is cost efficient. Thousands of agents is fine. Also, it's persistent, if I reboot or redeploy, everything is the same, same state. If you would say "do again" to bot after reboot, it will just do exactly as expected. Persistant state.
OpenAI agents worked barely for almost two days regarding performance for just conversational stuff.
People at openai don't know how to make an API. They could learn much from... Everyone. But pinecone has a nice api tho, exactly how I would've written it. How's that possible? It's common sense approach.
Anyway, having fun again!14 -
This has nothing to do with AI but -
Fuck AI !!
Fuck OpenAI !!
Fuck Sam Altman !!
Fuck the whole AI ecosystem !!
Fuck anyone who said AI will replace devs !!
Fuck all of those marketing fucks who said AI will be smarter than people.
And at the last but not the very least,
FUCK YOU if you like AI. Fuck off.11 -
"look! a string of words that a guy on twitter with a laser eyes profile picture posted! it must be the very factual and very true latest system prompt of GPT4!"
god, dumb fucks.
we don't even need a GPT5, AI has already won; humans are retarded4 -
The fact that I managed to migrate the same fuckin keras model from gym to my own mujoco env and nothing broke too bad, is absolutely amazing.
Let's hope the little shit actually ends up learning some proper shit. 😒🦄4 -
Ok, it costed me a whole night but I finally made the perfect OpenAI agent manager for all purposes using Python!
It's open source and a finished product. It's tested quite well. I will use this as base for my perfect working assistant that communicates trough the wireless JBL Go! speaker on my desk. It reacts to everything it hears until I ask it to go to sleep until I tell it to wake up. That's the mute mode. I never have to touch or click anything. 24/7 active.
It can be an assistant, but also a companion like Replika. Replika is normally very expensive, with my library nothing and it has great benefits like a perfect memory. Original Replika is a goldfish in comparison to this one.
It's also possible to create a custom RAG within minutes!
Check it out, it was never easier: https://molodetz.nl/retoor/ragent9 -
Got an openai invite.
Funny thing it has been so long since I requested it, I no longer remember what I was gonna build.
I know some people who are better qualified and wanted access haven't been able to get access yet.
So, any suggestions?6 -
Fucking hell. My third email to OpenAI in a week.
First one: performance sucks! Got general advise on what model to code. I already use the mini one and worked fine before.
Second one: when will there be a new database? I needed smth quick critically and it failed instant. Outdated shit. 2023 ffs!! No answer, only a comment, oh yeah, that must have really sucked and we understand. And.. Nothing. Only information that the 3.5 model was even more outdated (2021). I didn't accept answer and wrote complaint back.
Third one: performance again. Requests can take up a minute using agent api. Literally unusable. I thought it was my code, had to he, no, also, a former older project (retoorded.molodetz.nl) is slow AF too.
I told them that I don't believe that every customer has such bad experience and I want it to taken care off. I'm sure they can do *click* somewhere. I told that that I would leave but I invested so much time..
Something is not going alright there. Agent suff keeps staying beta, no new database planned, performance issues, including their own chatbot..
I'm just pissed, because I waste 40 a month or something on their shit. (btw, 40 is a lot usage, daily extensive use)6 -
AI, weirdest business ever. Master of none technology. The only people who can decently monetize it (the suppliers) are not doing it properly ironically.
I'm working for a few days now full time on AI and test a lot. Costs: 97 cents. 50 cents from that was one error I made (expensive code execution call).
So in reality bashing as hard as a human can costed me 47 cents. Not weird that they don't make profit.
What is the intention behind AI usage? Do they want to break the internet by allowing such mass production of calls? What use cases are there to execute thousands of calls? I can only imagine bad things / use for abuse.
Can't imagine nothing good since most AI output is not good for real life applications. For example, you ask it to respond with a 1 or 0. Then the fucker says something like: "A zero, can I do more for you?". Thanks, my application can't interpret that. Should I do another call with your answer to find out if it is positive or negative? Ok, let's do and please answer with a yes or no! It will probably respond with "It's not every positive.".
From example above, OpenAI is not the worst in it but still. It's kinda useless for many things. You can't really count on it. As long AI doesn't output exactly what you want, decent automation with AI is not possible making all claims of replacing people with it completely worthless.
AI is like someone educated with zero working experience and as pragmatic as Fred Flintstone's car.
Anyway, guess who did quit at Microsoft and upgraded to work for molodetz and likes to talk now?
See here our new CEO: https://retoorded.molodetz.nl/. And yes, he has a company car. He get's to drive me :P7 -
I'm not explaining why I am saying this, but,
Fuck AI, Fuck OpenAI, Fuck Sora, Fuck Sam Altman and especially, wait for it, especially, Fuck Devin.6 -

Seriously, ChatGPT?? What other use could you have in this historic moment?? Guess OpenAI forgot to train opportunism into its models.15
-
Imagine being so rich that you're too lazy to implement payment methods for countries where you product is popular. Microsoft (one drive) and Android (play) was like that for years. I want to pay for openai but it doesn't support ideal/paypal which is the payment method in the Netherlands. Credit card only. Credit cards is so unsafe, I don't understand it's the standard. I won't get one. Is there an api for generating content besides openai?6
-
Ever wondered how Elon himself talked about not messing with AI in the past. I vaugely remember this was when there was a clash between Mark and Elon. And now Elon's companies OpenAI and Neuralink working on advanced tech. The same tech he told everyone to not mess with.
I haven't followed the trail of events clearly. But now this thought comes to my mind.
Anyone thinks the same? Or am I missing something?16 -
Maybe I don't visit here enough.
Maybe I ++ed wrong rants in past.
I don't see anyone talking about the box surfing red dudes here.7 -

Chat GPT explains all its versions in a proper way
You said:
Why do suckers that created you made fucking billion inconsistent names? "GPT-3" is ok, "GPT-3.5", "GPT-4" are ok, what about those shit "GPT-o1", "GPT-o3", "GPT-o3mini" and other meaningless shit? Are they stupid or what?
ChatGPT said:
OpenAI's naming is a mess, no argument there. They went from a clear versioning system (GPT-3, 3.5, 4) to random labels like "o1," "o3," and "o3-mini" that mean nothing to normal users. Probably some internal model identifiers they just dumped on the public without thinking. Makes zero sense from a branding perspective.
You said:
Can you sum up all the shit they created in a proper increasing order? "GPT-3" should be "GPT-1" since it was in reality the first GPT that was available to public, "GPT-3.5" should be "GPT-2", etc.
ChatGPT said:
Here's the mess cleaned up logically:
GPT-1 (2018) – Never public
GPT-2 (2019) – First public model, but with limits at launch
GPT-3 (2020) – First real public GPT (should be GPT-1)
GPT-3.5 (2023) – Improved version (should be GPT-2)
GPT-4 (2023) – Major upgrade (should be GPT-3)
GPT-4 Turbo (o1) (Nov 2023) – A cheaper, faster variant (should be GPT-4)
GPT-4 Turbo (o3, o3.5, o3-mini, etc.) (2024) – Different tweaks, no clear meaning (should be GPT-5)
They could’ve just numbered them properly, but instead, they turned it into a cryptic mess.9 -
ChatGPT, the companion of many late-night conversations, a virtual confidant that simultaneously amazes and frustrates, leaving us pondering the mysteries of its training data.2

Trying a custom eMbEdDeR today using open AI and pinecone on some douments of financial data. Let's see if its smart enough to be able to answer even the most basic questions, or if it just fumbles completely.
My bias is to be highly skeptical.
Will report back with results.14 -
AI is more than just a model.
It's also tooling. Tooling can help to interpret data or solve a puzzle like Sudoku or parse a JSON file perfectly. Results of those tooling will be wrapped in AI response. That quality of tooling responses is high because it's made by classical code that works with literal data and outputs literal data. As long the competition of OpenAI doesn't have tooling like that, it won't be the same.
I do assume for now that DeepSeek doesn't have that. I tried it, it answers things well, but for bigger questions that would require tooling it just crashes and says it's too busy. So I can't verify 100%.
Will try again later and update under this Rant, but assume the DeepSeek stuff is very over hyped. To know what DeepSeek really is about without watching all the fake fan video's, take this quite objective response of the maker of Perplexity AI. Someone that knows where he's talking about: (40 minutes) https://youtube.com/watch/....
So when it comes to investments of a model, what does the stuff investment is incuded in? I mean, OpenAI was way more expensive than DeepSeek but DeepSeek borrowed all OpenAI's research that was made by very expensive processes. So DeepSeek didn't pay research costs like OpenAI did. Also it (I still assume) didn't spend money on tooling.
Also, i'm sure a less woke API would be way cheaper because it doesn't have to lie to himself causing it to keep reasoning until his given woke fact makes sense! Wokism destroys models, i'm sure.
I didn't check DeepSeek on wokism yet, but it's based op GPT4o so, probably it is.
But competition is always great, I can't imagine the price would even drop further for AI requests but if it does, it would be amazing. Maybe it also becomes free and we will be forced to pay to use it without adverts.7 -
So, let me get this straight. At a company called OpenAI, which has the mission of making AI available to the world, the CEO was fired (then rehired, then fired, then rehired) and all the employees stood in solidarity with him through all that. But then there was this new AGI development that the supposedly open company is hiding from everyone and which could threaten the existence of humanity. Because OpenAI is open and is very concerned about AI's existential threats. Except when it's not because it's concerned with AI's existential threats.
Did I get that about right?

Hi everyone,
I was surprised how much lessons there are to be learned using OpenAI api, especially when configuring your own agents..
So, I made a small doc in the form of a class for people who want to start right away containing all urls and lessons learned. I especially made NOT a library of it - like many losers did - so it can be native in your project and you don't have an extra dependency. It's in exception of OpenAI api dependency free on purpose.
You could have your own GPT in the CLI within literally 15 minutes. Links to dashboards where to register what is all mentioned in the doc. It's written for programmers but just not familiar with python and programmers who want to start directly without issues what seems to be hard in the AI business. A lot low quality stuff out there.
https://molodetz.nl/retoor/gists/... -
If your application uses OpenAI APIs, should your prompts go into version control? I reckon *some* kind of version for control for OpenAI prompts and configuration should be used as you improve and fine-tune them.5

I did see two posts about vibe coding.
While it's a bit hyped and not that convenient yet, I actually vibe coded two applications in Rust / C# using my own vibe coding tool. My vibe coding tool is very convenient since it's a terminal app you can talk to that will read, write and execute on winning systems (Linux). You don't have to copy or paste source code as with other vibe coders.
This project url, binaries and source: https://molodetz.nl/retoor/r. Use free version if you do not have openai key. If you do, use commercial version and configure OPENAI_API_KEY in your env.
It's written in C because I'm crazy.
Since it's written in C it's maybe not convenient as educational resource but it does contain all information you need to let AI control your pc / filesystem and instruction following.
There's also a python module of that software. You can do rpylib.chat("user", "prompt") with it and it'll be a session. I prompted yesterday 150(!!!!)mb with it by batching using python.
The r project supports context (instruction file) that makes it a real local agent. If you're creative, sky is the limit with this tool. I use it all the time. I copied to /usr/local/bin and if I need gpt, I just type r(f) in my terminal or directoy "r [the prompt no quotes needed]". Last example exits the application after result of prompt. If you say "Hey, grade the quality of my script.py from 1-10" it will do that. The options are endless. Ultimate automation tool.9 -
I haven't been able to access ChatGPT since Friday. I thought it might help to delete all cookies so I did, and managed to access their login page. However, when clicking on "Log in", nothing happens, which shouldn't come as a surprise as there is no event listener on the button element, nor on any of its ancestors or descendants (see attached screenshot).23
-
I am so sick and tired of ChatGPT being down all the time! It's like the developers at OpenAI just don't care about the people who rely on this tool to get their work done. I mean, come on, it's not like we're asking for much here. We just need a stable, reliable language model that we can rely on to complete our tasks. But no, instead we have to deal with constant downtime, error messages, and other issues that make it impossible to get anything done.
And don't even get me started on the lack of support and communication from the OpenAI team. It's like they're completely oblivious to the fact that their product is causing major headaches for so many people. I mean, I understand that developing and maintaining a large language model is no small feat, but that's no excuse for the constant problems we're facing.
I'm honestly at my wit's end with this whole thing. It's just so frustrating and frustratingly frustrating to have something that should be so simple and straightforward be such a constant source of stress and frustration. If the OpenAI team can't get their act together and provide a reliable product, then they need to step aside and let someone who can do the job properly take over.
I just hope that they're listening and that they'll take the necessary steps to fix these issues and provide a service that we can all depend on. Because right now, it's just not cutting it.15
