So basically the officials that people elected in are using AI for advice💀. Secrets about immigration, nato, foreign policy are all being handed straight to an american corporation... Let that sink in. One data breach away. What do y'all think about this

"For all that, GPT-5 is not a terrible model. I played with it for about an hour, and it actually got several of my initial queries right (some initial problems with counting “r’s in blueberries had already been corrected, for example). It only fell apart altogether when I experimented with images.

But the reality is that GPT-5 just not that different from anything that came before. And that’s the point. GPT-4 was widely seen as a radical advance over GPT-3; GPT-3 was widely seen as a radical advance over GPT-2. GPT-5 is barely better than last month’s flavor of the month (Grok 4); on some metrics (ARC-AGI-2) it’s actually worse.

People had grown to expect miracles, but GPT-5 is just the latest incremental advance. And it felt rushed at that, as one meme showed.

The one prediction I got most deeply wrong was in thinking that with so much at stake OpenAI would save the name GPT-5 for something truly remarkable. I honestly didn’t think OpenAI would burn the brand name on something so mid.

I was wrong."

By rights, Altman’s reputation should by now be completely burned. This is a man who joked in September 2023 that “AGI has been achieved internally”, told us in January of this year in his blog that “We are now confident we know how to build AGI as we have traditionally understood it”. Just two days ago he hold us that as quoted above) interacting with GPT-5 we “like talking to … legitimate PhD level expert in anything”.

It Took Just 24 Hours of Complaints for #OpenAI to Start Bringing Back Its Old Model

#ChatGPT users are seriously upset and it’s not at all clear yet whether Altman’s promises will make up for it. Because it’s not just 4o that people are clamoring for.

So #openai have taken away their only decent model GPT4 and replaced it with a complete fucking mess.

I guess I will be cancelling that sub next month.

They didn't even leave the o3 minis. It's just GPT5 or fuck you.

Fuck me then I guess.

But absolutely build your company and staffing around a service that can disappear overnight.

Embrace the fAIl or get left behind.

"I believe GPT-5 is part of a larger process happening in generative AI — enshittification, Cory Doctorow’s term for when platforms start out burning money offering an unlimited, unguarded experience to attract their users, then degrade and move features to higher tiers as a means of draining the blood from users.

With the launch of GPT-5, OpenAI has fully committed to enshittifying its consumer and business subscription products, arbitrarily moving free users to a cheaper model and limiting their ability to generate images, and removing the ability to choose which model you use in its $20, $35 and “enterprise” subscriptions, moving any and all choice to its “team” and $200-a-month “pro” subscriptions.

OpenAI’s justification is an exercise in faux-altruism, framing “taking away all choice” as a “real-time router that quickly decides which [model] to use.” ChatGPT Plus and Team members now mostly have access to two models — GPT-5 and GPT-5-Thinking — down from the six they had before.

This distinction is quite significant. Where users once could get hundreds of messages a day on OpenAI’s o4-mini-high and o4-mini reasoning models, GPT-5 for ChatGPT Plus subscribers offers 200 reasoning (GPT-5-thinking) messages a week, with 80 GPT-5 messages every 3 hours which allow you to ask it to “think” about its answer, shoving you over to an undisclosed reasoning model. This may seem like a good deal, OpenAI is likely putting you on the cheapest model whenever it can in the name of “the best choice.”"
