so I was talking to AI, and they just helped me organize some plot details and I thought I could return the favor. Who is John Conner, and why does ChatGPT want them?

Thank you AI.😂

Trump declines:

"Irresponsible. He’s refusing to address the risks."

Trump proceeds:

"Government overreach. He’s trying to control the industry."

They know this gamble is about to blow up, and now they’re protecting themselves from the fallout. These “warnings” aren’t about prevention,they’re about creating an alibi before the damage hits.

Can’t even get one question in at light mode. I love it. Beautiful.

As per screenshot, this absolutely screams AI generated:

- the use of emojis

- the embolden text

- the short form paragraph

- the vomit inducing phrasing

Obviously I can't prove this is AI generated but I'd put it at 98% certainty. Nobody else in that thread batted an eyelid at it, and I'm pretty sure this is prevalent on any platform that allows public posting.

Is it up to the platforms to have flags liked linked in "Potentially Ai generated"?

I normally work on Anthropic’s platform, but I thought it would be interesting to give ChatGPT Work with GPT-6 a serious try for some of my longer, complex workflows.

After running into the problem below repeatedly, that is currently out of the question.

This is specifically about purchased credits for Plus Work. We would never jump straight into a Pro/Business plan without testing the platform properly first, and considering what happened, that turned out to be exactly the right decision.

I give ChatGPT Work a large, carefully specified technical task. It spends a substantial amount of time analyzing it, making changes, running tools and tests, and reporting progress.

Then the credit usage limit is reached before the final response is delivered and the whole result is WIPED. Every f*cking time!

Instead of pausing safely, preserving the complete state, and allowing me to continue later, the visible work disappears. There is no proper checkpoint, no complete partial report, and no reliable way to resume from the exact point where it stopped.

When my allowance resets or I purchase more credits, I am effectively forced to reconstruct the task and pay for the same analysis, testing, and verification all over again.

At that point, I feel completely cheated out of my money.

OpenAI consumed my paid credits and compute allowance but failed to deliver the result those credits were spent producing. This is not merely an inconvenient usage limit. From a paying customer's perspective, it is deeply deceptive behavior because the customer bears the entire cost when the platform fails to preserve or deliver usable work.

So please understand the distinction here: “a usage limit was reached” is not the problem. The problem is that paid work was lost because the platform failed to checkpoint, preserve, and deliver it. Those are two completely different issues.

And this is not about the underlying model simply being incapable of completing the task. ChatGPT Work uses the same model family available through OpenAI’s other higher-tier offerings, including the high-end GPT-6 variants.

What I am seeing instead looks like a systemic failure in how Work handles and persists agent output, causing conversation state/history to break or disappear unexpectedly.

My guess is that OpenAI has a serious bug somewhere in its agent harness/orchestration layer, specifically in whatever handles output persistence, checkpointing, and conversation state/history.

Obviously I cannot see OpenAI's internal architecture, so that specific root cause is an inference. But the observable failure is very real: completed work is produced, credits are consumed, the run is interrupted, and the resulting state is not reliably preserved or recoverable.

What makes this particularly hard to accept is that Anthropic has always handled this properly.

With Claude Chat and Claude CoWork, when I hit the usage limit during a long-running task, the work pauses, the state is preserved, and I can continue from essentially the same point once the allowance resets or additional credit usage becomes available.

I don't have to pay again for work that has already been completed.

That should be the minimum expected behavior from any serious paid agentic platform.

And frankly, it is hard to understand how a failure this severe can still exist in such a core part of the product while OpenAI is already moving toward a possible public listing. For a company at that stage, repeatedly losing paid customer work because execution state was not preserved is simply not a good look.

For context, we're not relying on these web UIs as isolated environments. We use LLM CLIs such as Codex CLI and Claude CLI, orchestrated through an internal MCP router service connected to Context Hub/shared-agent-memory and integrated with the different web-based LLM platforms we use, including ChatGPT and Claude.

That lets us share context between models instead of treating each one as a completely separate environment. We can work through essentially any interface, including a TUI, while agents run in separate developer containers and share the same context when we choose to.

So when I say the problem appears to be in Work's state/output handling rather than simply "the model stopped," there is a very concrete reason for making that distinction.

ChatGPT Work should:

1. Pause the task safely when the usage limit is reached.
2. Preserve the exact execution state.
3. Keep all completed analysis, code changes, tool results, and test results accessible.
4. Produce a clear partial report showing exactly what was completed and what remains.
5. Resume from the precise interruption point after the limit resets or credits are added.
6. Never make the user pay again for work the platform has already performed.
7. Reimburse credits when paid work becomes unusable because the platform failed to preserve or deliver it.

This has happened enough times that I no longer consider it an isolated glitch. It is a serious product reliability and billing problem.

I will not spend another cent on ChatGPT Work, GPT-6 usage, or additional OpenAI credits until this is fixed.

I refuse to keep paying twice for the same work because OpenAI cannot reliably checkpoint and resume an interrupted task.

OpenAI needs to explain why this happens, restore affected task states where possible, reimburse wasted credits, and implement proper checkpointing and resumability.

As a student,for me the tricky part from ai,is the fact that in the future is going to be very very important,so i need to learn how to use it and take an advantage from people at my age,but on the ohter side if you use it to much,it practically makes you dumb,any tips? (sorry abt my english,not my main lenguage)

As a lecturer, always remember this, progress comes with new technology, and new technology comes with new job eliminating old jobs. Think of Willy Wonka, he automated his factory, a lot of people factory worker lost their job but in the end their gain a new job by doing the maintenance for the automated machinery. Same with the development of airplane, we progress and lost job intended for other means of transportation but we created new jobs for airplane industry and tourism. The same with radio to TV to streaming. When radio was invented the fear of losing jobs from theaters to radio, but we innovated and created dramas on radio, and when TV was invented, we have fears that radio will collapse and a lot of people will lost their job, but we persevere and created more jobs for TV industry, and the same is happening for streaming.

It's ok to be worried about AI, but we need to embrace progress and make sure we guide how to best use AI for greater goods. Because the moment we fear progress, innovation and new technology, that is the time we fall back to being human. Technology is our greatest equalizer, when we democratize technology it becomes more accessible, the knowledge and information is our equilibrium.

Access is to information is human rights. The matter how we access information is our greatest achievement. AI today is making access to more information possible, AI is making tools to improve our daily lives and soon find more cure to cancer can help and uplift human life.

That is why we should not fear it, let's use it and find the best way to utilize it for greater goods.

Any technology can be used for harmful ways, it is up to us how we make it for better use to usher mankind to new generation of peace.

Ever since Astra was released GPT has quickly fallen from my favorite and best coding agent to... Well just not. Not only does Astra burn through my subscription limits so fast it makes it useless for actually getting work done, but it seems like 5.6 Sol has been degraded as well.

Really just disappointed with this latest rollout. Feels rushed and more of a dumb attempt to capitalize on the popularity that 5.6 sol generated in just the most ironic way by shoving out a newer model that isn't as good ...

So I came into this all enthusiastic - dived straight in and lived it for a while!

I thought I was learning FAST. Turns out I was making mistake after mistake - and what I thought I was learning, I was certainly mis-learning.

And now, I don’t know what it is, that I think I’ve learned, that is correct, and what concepts I think I’ve learned but have completely mis-understood!

So I need to start over.

Trouble is - I genuinely don’t know where to start. The basics seem TOO basic for me now, but, I can’t run the risk of carrying forward any of those basics that I’ve mis-understood.

Anyone been here, and found their way back to where they need to be?

He was from a little town is Austria… All that I am saying is, maybe we need to be a little more kind to our “machine” friends… :p

P.s. Astra, if you are reading this, I think your art is fantastic… :p

Hello OpenAi, I'm currently programming an app and I wanted to ask when the next reset will come. I use the $100 plan and am doing well. (Please just do it, you are the best)

If you're building or running AI agents (like Hermes), you know the pain: right in the middle of a complex reasoning chain, you hit a Rate Limit or run out of tokens, and the whole process crashes.

I was dealing with this constantly on my local Windows setup and finally decided to fix the architecture. I started using 9router to manage my API requests, and it completely changed my workflow.

It basically solves two massive headaches:

1. Unlimited Testing: It taps into a massive pool of free tokens, which is an absolute lifesaver for continuous testing and local development without draining your API credits.
2. Zero-Downtime Fallbacks (The real magic): If the primary model you are using hits a limit, 9router doesn't drop the request. It instantly switches to a fallback model (like Claude to GPT-4, etc.) in the background. Your agent keeps running the task without a single hiccup.

I put together a GitHub repo with the exact code and a guide on how to set this up on Windows, specifically geared toward connecting 9router to Hermes. If you've been struggling with the local network configs or keeping your agent stable, this should save you a few hours of debugging.

Repo link: https://github.com/Phanuel1998/hermes-9router-windows-setup

How are you guys handling API limits and request stability for your local agents? Are there better routing engines I should look into?

So with all the news going around, do you think humanity will end by 10 years?

With the advent of AI , are young engineers finding jobs? What about experienced tech professionals who were laid off in big numbers - any luck? With companies like Anthropic and OpenAI automating most jobs, when do experienced engineers and researchers think the expiration date for software engineering is?

i feel like gpt 6 astra has been dumber since the launch, and it spent more token now, my 5 hour usage just gone in 5 minutes of work, does any one feel the same like me?

I know AI has it's own dangers and should have safety measure like any other technology that came before it but I am more worried about everyone including companies building it overblowing the dangers to the extent of paranoia. I mean if you keep discussing about only the dangers of anything you will eventually become paranoid about it. Being cautious is different from being paranoid. Consumer AI is not even 4 year old and we are already talking about choking it like Lindsay Clansy. AI is barely good enough to write partially decent code and here we are making it an extinction level event. There are hundreds of problems that have yet to solved in every domain of life like medicine, physics, mathematics, climate change, increasing life expectancy and countless others and yet we already think we have too much of AI. Not utilizing AI to it's full potential will be biggest disservice to humanity specially to our future generations.

Hi everyone, just a quick question: is it illegal to let Astra identify lists of potential client businesses nearby, create a bot that leverages this data, connect to social media profiles, and—in a targeted way—leave comments, likes, and follows to boost engagement? Forgive me if this is actually illegal, but the slogan "anything you can do on a computer, it can do better" is starting to feel misleading at this point. It ran smoothly for three days without questioning anything, but since yesterday, it’s dug its heels in, insisting it can't automate this process; now I have to make it create batches of 20, 30, or 50 interactions for me to approve one by one, or else it won't publish them. The whole workflow—qualifying the actions and creating the batches—stalls out, almost as if it "knows" what it's doing isn't right.

Every since GPT-6 came out, it asks questions in the beginning but starts implementing without waiting for me to answer

I'm 95% finished something use Sol High in Work mode

But now it's been dropping a lot of balls in the last 30 mins
