Has anyone else noticed that #ChatGPT 5 is pretty bad? It keeps asking for details and a lot of follow up questions before commencing work. Might this be an attempt by #OpenAI to reduce the insane computational demand?
You can test the free version GPT-5 mini (along other free models) anonymously at Duck.ai (you can use it via #Tor if you don't trust #DuckDuckGo.

„Nur, wer sich dem Fortschritt nicht verweigert, wird überleben“, verkündet Axel-Springer-Chef Mathias Döpfner.
Es ist die Essenz seiner unternehmerischen Strategie. Das Ziel: Den Verlag zum Technologiekonzern umbauen.
Dafür pflegt der Medienmanager enge Kontakte zu US-Tech-Giganten wie #Musk und Mark #Zuckerberg.
Doch nun verbündet sich #BigTech mit Donald Trump und demokratische Werte stehen auf der Kippe. Für Döpfner und seinen Medienkonzern wird diese Allianz heikel. Beobachter fragen, wie er da wieder rauskommt.
Aber will er das überhaupt? #ZAPP spricht mit Wegbegleitern und Kritikern des umstrittenen Springer Chefs und Mathias #Döpfner selbst.

"What if generative AI isn’t God in the machine or vaporware? What if it’s just good enough, useful to many without being revolutionary? Right now, the models don’t think—they predict and arrange tokens of language to provide plausible responses to queries. There is little compelling evidence that they will evolve without some kind of quantum research leap. What if they never stop hallucinating and never develop the kind of creative ingenuity that powers actual human intelligence?
The models being good enough doesn’t mean that the industry collapses overnight or that the technology is useless (though it could). The technology may still do an excellent job of making our educational system irrelevant, leaving a generation reliant on getting answers from a chatbot instead of thinking for themselves, without the promised advantage of a sentient bot that invents cancer cures.
Good enough has been keeping me up at night. Because good enough would likely mean that not enough people recognize what’s really being built—and what’s being sacrificed—until it’s too late. What if the real doomer scenario is that we pollute the internet and the planet, reorient our economy and leverage ourselves, outsource big chunks of our minds, realign our geopolitics and culture, and fight endlessly over a technology that never comes close to delivering on its grandest promises? What if we spend so much time waiting and arguing that we fail to marshal our energy toward addressing the problems that exist here and now? That would be a tragedy—the product of a mass delusion. What scares me the most about this scenario is that it’s the only one that doesn’t sound all that insane."

Someone who is a serial killer for a given amount of time, as a function of quantity, will not only kill fewer people but spend less time killing people, than someone who spends the exact same amount of time in total employed as an assassin. That's an extreme example, and that's deliberate; feel free to dial it back from there. The point is that people who do things generally regarded as atrocious for personal reasons do so, on average, quite infrequently as compared to those who do things that are functionally identical only because they want the money. Curiously and however ironically, the latter also have a higher tendency towards getting away with it.
So, in effect:
Is the most prolific hacker of all time some for-profit (first red flag) company whose operation is entirely legal, and who distributes ostensibly legitimate software for free even though the development thereof is inherently expensive (second red flag), and/or who exposes ostensibly legitimate services to the public for free even though the uptime thereof is inherently expensive (third red flag), and none of which qualifies as a violation the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, technically, by definition (fourth red flag)?
Is that a rhetorical question (and here's your fifth, pun intended)?

@festal This is possibly the most insightful summary of where we're at I think I've read in a mainstream publication:
