I've been a paying user for years. I don't see the point anymore since claude code.

Im in between :)

Mini - small, incomplete, not good enough

Flash - good, not great, fast, might miss something.

I believethere’s also exponential dislike growing for Altman among most AI users, and that impacts how the brand/company is perceived.

Most AI users outside of HN does not have any idea of who Altman is. ChatGPT is in many circles synonymous to AI so their brand recognition is huge.

I agree, I have said it before, ChatGPT is like Photoshop at this point, or Google. Even if you are using Bing you are googling it. Even if you are using MS Paint to edit an image it was photoshopped.

on top of the prompt. It has a weird layout; I had to scroll up to see it.

What confused me was this: "Now remove the two men, just keep the dog, and put them in an OpenAI livestream that looks like the attached image.".

The word "them" implied plural. I was looking for the dog and something else. Thanks.

Sunday? What is that?

Easy, let me try to explain: You want to achieve X, so you ask your AI companion, "How do I do X?" Your companion thinks and tries a couple of things, and they eventually work. So you say, "You know what, next time, instead of figuring it out, just do this"... that is a skill. A recipe for how to do things.

Yes, sometimes skills are more reliable, but not always. That is the biggest culprit to me so far. The fact that you cannot reliably trust these LLMs to follow steps or instructions makes them unsuitable for my applications.

Another thing that helps is adding a session hook that triggers on startup|resume|clear|compact to remind Claude about your custom skills. Keeps things consistent, especially when you're using it for a long time without clearing context

No judgment, pure curiosity. Why did you install their malware?

SEO killed the web

Honest question: What problem does this solve?

Thing that was previously very expensive, manual and took a long time to do, and is done A LOT, is now made faster and cheaper by computers.

Pretty much the same problem we all work on every day in $DAY_JOB.

Fun and games until someone uses a tool like this to scam your family

It's ok, they're making the market for anti-ai tools much much bigger. (whether those tools work or not is a different issue)

It facilitates the generation of political propaganda.

OpenAI needing something to show to investors to say "See, this is why we need $1T."

What problem does what solve? Video generation models in general or Sora 2 specifically?
