.@typeform this is just flat out infringement of @Zoho 's trademark. You can advertise on their name as a keyword, but you can't use their trademark to imply an endorsement of your product, which you have done.

To be clear, as a consumer looking for Zoho, I *was* confused.

@btibor91 Is there any effect of rate limits? Are we still at 3k/week for plus users regardless of Standard/Extended?

@AdvisorMikeL @ArmandDoma Funny, for me, ChatGPT refused to identify Bill Clinton. The internal reasoning suggested that it HAD identified him but was prevented from disclosing to me by policy.

@karpathy Every once in a while I pick up my old iPhone 4 and just marvel at how perfect it felt in the hand.

Too bad it couldn't get a phone signal without a case wrapped around the bezel, but that's a different story.

@emollick The problem with this is that even professional game designers don't know how to design puzzles that are universally fun for players. And there's no consensus on what makes for a good puzzle, or if puzzles should even be part of the game.

when you compile this year’s political events in one long list, it sounds fictional

@DaveShapi I was asking about 3rd country deportations and the thinking was, like, "since he's from Venezuela it sounds implausible that he would be deported to Uganda, I will get the real information about this..."

Sometimes I want to send internal thoughts the sweet summer child gif

@yanndubs EQ/Creativity is bad though. I asked it to clean up a difficult email. Tested on 5, 4o, and Claude. 5 was, hands down, the worst. Claude and 4o were both pretty good.

5 made my draft worse and called it an improvement.

@yanndubs It's 100% about using Thinking in Chat. Non Thinking is still quite bad, but with practically unlimited Thinking uses I feel fine now.

@GaryMarcus @emollick Can I just point out that social media is systematically designed to get you to angry at each other over reasonable disagreements. It's what the algorithm does.

You're both reasonable academics. Take a breath. Give each other a call and chat IRL. Don't let Twitter break ur brain

@emollick Remember when Bing was fun? Kevin Roose was like Jerry in that Seinfeld episode about the fat free yogurt, exposing the yogurt as unhealthy. Like, who cared if Bing was crazy... it was fun!

@yanndubs @aienthusiast55 I thought prompting it to think hard was NOT burning a "thinking" credit (re: rate limit), but triggering the UX button DOES burn a rate limit credit. Incorrect?

[Matt Martin @BioticHamster]

@yanndubs @petergostev I'd really like to be able access this directly for projects where I've written really clear instructions. Like mini apps inside ChatGPT. For example, I have one where I paste email threads and have it spit out a calendar entry plus other data for pasting into invoice software

@Mikkeall1171 @yanndubs Not always the case.

"In my next D&D session I want my players to encounter a cult in the next town. Brainstorm ten ideas for type of cult and their motivations, along with it hooks for the PCs."

Here, Creativity > Correctness

I asked a @StopShopStores worker for a sample of @Boars_Head cheese today. He said they can't give out samples in store anymore bc too many ppl get sick eating boars head. Doesn't make me feel good about buying it then, lol

[Matt Martin @BioticHamster]

@TheStefanSmith But I believe that 4 years is a long time and today feels bad, but it tells us nothing about what will happen down the road. 4/4

[Matt Martin @BioticHamster]

@TheStefanSmith Times are different. Maybe we'll move right. Or left. Or stay where we are. Maybe we're stuck with a conservative majority country, or maybe we elect AOC or Pete in 4 years. I don't know. 3/4 (I lied)
