GPT-5.6 12 days ago

I thought I was an OpenAI fanboy, but version 5.6 isn’t for me. Sol Ultra just keeps working and checking, and working and checking again, but it can’t even correct minor errors that aren’t a problem for 5.5 xhigh. I’ve rolled Codex back to 5.5 for now.

This is a good example for what ChatGPT does: It makes shit up and presents it in a compelling format. You should always keep this in mind when trying to get information on a subject you are not familiar with yourself.

I use ChatGPT daily, but always specify the information I want formatted. (In bullet points, a table or for example a news article.)

As a European "The Land of the Free" is the funniest contradiction I've ever seen. As a teenager and young adult I loved to visit the US (NYC & LA) and everything seemed amazing. These days, I avoid the USA like I avoid North Korea and Russia. Of course, we have also huge problems here, but we seem to be more aware of them. And that helps immensely to bring about improvements.

I had hoped for a comparison of how quickly news events appear on the news sites. But the comparison would only show who copy-pasted the fastest and not who researched the best.

I find the speed of page views even more meaningless. ;)
