r/ChatGPTPro u/vurto • 28d If ChatGPT is not consistently dependable, how are we suppose to use it for actual work? Discussion It's behavior and results can randomly change due to some OpenAl tweaking that's opaque. On some days it can't even keep track of a fresh chat, it can't do calculations, it can't sort through a chat to extract relevant information, and when it's suppose to refer to source material in a PDF, it doesn't. All because OpenAl trained it for fluency and basically to simulate whatever it can for user satisfaction. I can use it for general chats, philosophical stuff, therapy, but nothing serious. I'm pro Al, but I approach it with skepticism knowing it's undependable (as I do with anything I read). And prompts can be interpreted/executed differently across users' own interaction with their Als so it's not truly scalable. How does the business world / leaders expect staff to adopt Al if it's not consistently dependable? It doesn't even calculate like a calculator. If the internet start claiming 2+2=5, that's what it'll answer with. I'd use it for hobbies and pet projects but I can't imagine using it for anything "mission critical".

You're so close

Sizewell C costs could hit £100bn including financing, modelling shows Total for nuclear power station project set to be billions of pounds higher than official government estimates

In the UK, they are going to spend around $100 billion to build the Sizewell C nuclear power plant. It will start producing power in "in the mid- to late-2030s" and it will produce 3.2 gigawatts of power. (1/2)

Motherfucking wind farms…

Dear music fans, here is yet another reminder to please stop using Spotify.

Not content with poisoning music culture, and undermining musicians ability to earn income from their own recorded music, Spotify are also indirectly associated with seriously unethical stuff (including AI weaponry).

My response to those who say it’s “too late” to address climate change and global environmental damage.

It is NOT too late. As long as one tree is still standing, one whale is still swimming, and one child is still breathing it is not too late to protect something precious.

Fuck the warmongers. All of them.

Teachers Are Not OK AI, ChatGPT, and LLMs "have absolutely blown up what I try to accomplish with my teaching."

I generally take a 'tech isn't inherently bad, capitalism just makes it manifest in bad ways' position but..............honestly, I think LLMs are inherently bad.

Their technogical characteristics just fundamentally skew towards harming human information spaces severely and rapidly

Wild piece:

Fuck the warmongers. All of them.

A graphic titled "An Unnatural Life Span" compares the typical slaughter age of various farmed animals to their natural life spans. A red bar shows slaughter age, while a grey bar shows natural life expectancy. Examples include: “meat” chickens (slaughtered at 5–7 weeks, could live up to 8 years), pigs (6 months vs. 10–12 years), dairy cows (4 years vs. 15–20 years), and “veal” calves (1–24 weeks vs. 15–20 years). The graphic highlights how animals are killed as babies regardless of farming method, including “humane” or “organic” labels. Source: CompassionateCook.com.

Labels don't change the fact that infant lives are taken.

That's amazing!

1. This is Piles Copse, the largest remaining fragment of high-ground temperate rainforest on Dartmoor. It’s a tiny speck of green in a dismal, human-made desert. Prepare yourselves for a story of breathtaking perversity, told in this thread. (There’s a one-page version at the bottom). 🧵

I will forever be haunted by this footage.

Trawling has only been filmed underwater a few times in documentary history, and never with such clarity.

What’s so heart-rending about these shots is watching how the animals don’t just get swept up — they swim for their lives.

Labour’s great nature sellout is the worst attack on England’s ecosystems I’ve seen in my lifetime | George Monbiot The horrifying planning bill, which rips up environmental protections, was drafted with CEOs in mind. We know because Keir Starmer told us, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

1. Because this issue is critical, but has received remarkably little coverage, here's a thread pulling out the key themes from my article yesterday, on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, which puts decades of environmental protections to the torch. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Labour’s great nature sellout is the worst attack on England’s ecosystems I’ve seen in my lifetime | George Monbiot The horrifying planning bill, which rips up environmental protections, was drafted with CEOs in mind. We know because Keir Starmer told us, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

It's hard to get your head around the scale of the environmental vandalism the Labour government is hoping to unleash. The Planning and Infrastructure Bill is up there with Trump's executive orders. And the reason is the same: corporate power.

You Can’t Taste the Difference So Why Are Animals Still Being Used?

Let’s be honest: if every plant-based product tasted better than the animal one, people would still buy the latter. Why? Because once you've spent a lifetime justifying something, your ego’s on the line.

Imagine if all those who are silent about the terrible evil being committed in Gaza spoke up | Owen Jones No crime in history has been so well documented by its victims. And yet inaction and censorship reign, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

In every atrocity in history, the silent are always principal players.

Those who remain silent over Israel's genocide are enabling it to continue.

Their cowardice is paid in the blood of thousands of innocent Palestinians.

Animal Agriculture Exceptionalism | Kenny Torrella The industry which legalised cruelty

A handful of companies drive environmental degradation and cruelty to feed their pockets rather than the hungry. Welcome to the world of animal agriculture, an industry which gets away with practices which would be considered illegal in any other sector.

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.

I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/
