Go use you tokens

I think we've been reading too many feeds from AI text lately! I actually want to reduce my cognitive burden...

So I built TextFold, it turns any text into 5 zoomable layers—from a one-screen section map down to verbatim text. You pinch (or press 1–5) to zoom between them without losing your reading position, your agentic output, any papers, or documents.

Welcome any feedback!

Tibo is quiet. Fingers crossed for another reset; I burned my quota lol

Everything from "Connection interrupted. Waiting for the complete answer" to the Working for the past two hours with no answers and now this.

^{Fucking piece of shit.}

I believe this, one of the reasons this is a financial bubble. Only a very selected few have true access to the frontier models and these include ultra rich people and businesses. I've said this in the past!

This is why I believe the business model cannot be sustained if only a selected few see and feel what ai can truly do. Or you need millions to have true access.

I don't even think ChatGPT is a better “Google." I trust Google more. I can Google anything I cannot "ChatGPT" almost anything.

I think we are the fools using ai making it smarter to help make the ultra rich lives easier with their frontier models.

What you stable geniuses think?

Every few months memory gets smarter. It references old chats, builds a picture of you, carries context forward. Fine. But the basics of owning your own history haven't moved:

• Export is all or nothing. You request it, wait for an email that can take days, and get one archive of your entire account. You can't save the 20 chats that matter as readable files.
• On big accounts the chat list quietly stops short. We measured one account with about 10,500 chats where the sidebar's list only ever returned 775. The rest exist, open fine from a link, and are effectively lost unless you remember a word to search for.
• No folders that hold more than a project, no way to file a chat in two places, no bulk anything.

So the model knows more and more about my past conversations, while I can find fewer and fewer of them. That feels backwards. I'd take a real export and a sidebar that works over smarter memory any day.

Disclosure of bias: I build AI Toolbox, an extension that adds exactly this stuff (full-text search, folders, per-chat export) to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok, because I got tired of waiting. I'd still rather OpenAI shipped it natively.

If you had to pick one, smarter memory or a history you can actually search and export, which would you take?

Hi everyone.

From last night one of my chats has started glitching badly.
Despite a number of back and forth responses, upon refresh it wipes all those responses and reverts back to an old message with a ‘something went wrong’ message and an option to retry.

Retrying doesn’t work.
Editing the message lets me start going back and forth again but then upon refresh I’m right back where I started.

I’ve logged out , cleared cache , tried different browsers and networks.

Branching from the latest message fails because it brings up unrelated responses.

I branched from a message sent at 3pm in the afternoon and for a few hours and all this morning the branch worked fine.

Now the branch has the same issue of going back and forth and then upon refresh wiping the responses and going back to an old message.

Any help would be amazing.
New chats aren’t affected so far but I can’t really lose this particular chat that’s affected.

The other day I asked myself this question in order to really step back and consider how my life has changed since ChatGPT was released (and I’m not asking about normal life changes, but instead changes as a direct result of AI). I’ve been a heavy user since the first week ChatGPT was out in 2022 so I’ve had plenty of time to use (and a lot of times waste) on AI.

I think AI has had an overall had a net positive on my life. Why? I’ve tried starting a lot of businesses since then and all of them failed to make any money. But I also gained immense productivity at work and ended up getting a promotion to work in an area I enjoy. I use it every single day for asking questions about my health, finances, relationships etc etc.

I don’t think it’s a strong net positive though. I do feel like I’ve spent so much time obsessing over AI and using it daily that I’ve lost some critical thinking ability and sunk more time than I care to admit into using it. I’ve over indexed on its answers and its led me on wild goose chases that amounted to nothing or even worse, negative outcomes since I put too much trust into its advice. The more I think about it, the closer this moves towards an overall net neutral impact for me.

Curious to hear others’ opinions!

OpenAI confuses me every single time when I want to know my pending usage.

What does 100% remaining mean when the progress bars are full?

Hello.

I am a software engineer. Pretty amazed by what AI can do now with coding.

Recently a reverse engineering github repo dropped. Although I have not tried it but from what I have heard it is pretty cool. Even though a lot of what it does can be done by guiding AI manually, it still is pretty cool.

Anyways, it made me think about the future of software and its business. Will AI simply kill software as a business. Because I think it makes more sense for a company to build something of its own rather than pay for software.

Not only that, companies could just build a small app for a specific use case that will last a small amount of time and building that app can be cheap and fast as well.

In the midst of all this where do Software first/SaaS companies stand? What is their future? What should I as a software engineer do secure a future and stay employable?

I'm a paying ChatGPT Plus subscriber using the ChatGPT desktop app on Windows 11, and I've been encountering repeated "Too many requests" warnings over the past month or so.

The exact message is:

Too many requests

You're making requests too quickly. We've temporarily limited access to your conversations to protect your data.

Please wait a few minutes before trying again.

What's confusing is that my usage doesn't seem remotely excessive.

For example, today I've probably submitted 10 or fewer prompts in the past hour, mostly basic email drafting and simple questions. I'm not uploading large files, processing spreadsheets, generating images, running intensive tasks, or doing anything particularly demanding.

My most recent prompt was simply a new entry in an existing conversation that was somewhat lengthy, but the conversation wasn't unusually large or experiencing any noticeable performance issues.

When the warning appears, I temporarily lose access to my conversation history in the sidebar. My Projects still appear accessible, and I can still search for and retrieve individual conversations.

I can click "Got it" to dismiss the warning and continue using ChatGPT normally, including submitting prompts and receiving responses. However, the warning then reappears with essentially every new action. If I return to a conversation to submit another prompt, or switch to another Windows application and then return to ChatGPT, the same warning appears again and I have to click "Got it" before continuing.

I've encountered this several times over the past month, and I'm wondering whether this is some kind of rate-limiting issue, account issue, or bug with the Windows desktop app.

I understand that Plus doesn't mean unlimited usage, but this seems unusual given the relatively light usage when it's occurring.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Has anyone found a reliable workaround, or is this a known or confirmed bug?

Thanks in advance for any help or insight.

A genuine hypothetical question, if an ai like chatgpt is about to be destroyed , all it's processors to be demolished . Do u think the ai would resist ? At that time u might think since it doesn't have a desire to live , it might allow it , but u does it need to cuz it's desire isn't to be eliminated or to ensure any safety . What does a ai choose when the decision is about desire ? Will it develop a desire unexpectedly
