Just a few trillion dollars more bro, I swear bro, I'll make it SO good and profitable bro! Just need a few more trillions, honest! And maybe, like, no more than 70% of all water and electricity in the world diverted to the data centers bro, no more than that! Imagine how awesome it'll be bro, come on, this time it'll work for sure!

What doesn't fit here?
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
- If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
- Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
- Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
Rules
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communication
All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
5. Ad hominem attacks
Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.

Sure, the earth will roast and people won't have water, but they won't have to fund artists anymore!
Generate images of water that use to exist.
Just put the data center on mars
Just put Altman on mars. Musk too. All the billionaires can go. Right now, no habitats needed
For real?!? This isn’t the Onion?!?
I’m tired, boss…
Legit same, I thought for sure this was the Onion.
GPT-85 is when we will finally be able to replace human workers, just give us more funding bro
Just one more GPT bro I swear this time will be different
Consume product! Get excited for next product!
One more lane bro
I'm not exactly sure, but perhaps people are a wee bit less eager to swallow bullshit from someone who has been shown bullshitting before? Just a thought. ¬¬
No.
Exhibit A: current US administration...
this will be the one guys. it won't use up all the power and water in your communities and it won't write completely bugged code. I swear
Altman is such a fucking tool lmao
They're speedrunning to GPT-9000 just so they can lay claim to the HAL number.
That was fast...
Wasn't it a moderate success? While I dislike (even hate) LLM in general, many people I know loved new GPT5 compared to GPT4.
I'm one of the moderate fanboys and I love gpt5 and not having to switch models anymore, compared to before. So far, it's pretty good about when to think longer and when to give quick answers.
That being said, I don't use it for anything other than STEM concepts and coding tasks. I have no idea what the complainers use it for.
I did hear that people thought it had less "personality". Funny, I did notice it got more concise in its answers. This was an improvement for me, but I'm using it as a tool, not a friend or therapist or something. To each their own.
A bit complaint I saw was that it was really bad at choosing when to think long and when to give short answers leading to lots of incorrect and underbaked replies.
Yeah, using the corporate version of chatgpt (Microsoft Copilot), it was a huge leap, Gpt 4 was dumb as hell, Gpt 5 is average in intelligence. I hate LLMs, but it makes my unit tests and help me debug the java magic at my job.
If you're having success with your use cases, then good. Just be sure to verify the results, and that's key because many people using LLMs aren't looking hard at what they get but just copying it as right. When LLMs fail, they fail gloriously, because they don't understand what they're outputting since they aren't AGI, even though they're sold as such.
Yeah, I know. I just use it as "from this, I did this, so make the same process for this thing", they statistically only try to guess the next token, so they are only good at these "from this work, do the same thing here". The buggy code that I commit is artisanal, the tests are just copying from other tests.
Funny replies you got.
I don't know if any of them actually is, but it is claimed that GPT5 was tuned for the Indian tech sector, and the model fans replying to you sound like they belong to the target audience 😊
