What a time to be alive.
amazing how that's where we are now, coming from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Left_My_Heart_in_San_Francis... in the 60s
```That kind of “make it work at distance” trajectory work can meaningfully increase weapon effectiveness, so I have to keep it to safe, non-actionable help.```
I'm really hoping all their newer models stop doing this. It's massively overused.
Reminds me of that graph where late customers are abused. OpenAI is already abusing the late customers.
Claude is pretty great.
But GPT 5.3 Codex is great. Significantly better than Opus, in the TUI coding agent.
But ChatGPT is still SOTA in search and hard problem solving.
GPT-5.2 Pro is the model people are using to solve Erdos problems after all, not Claude or Gemini. The Thinking models are noticeably better if you have difficult problems to work on, which justifies my sub even if I use Claude for everything else. Their Codex models are also much smarter, but also less pleasant to use.
Gemini is really good with many topics. Vastly superior to ChatGPT for agronomy.
You should always use the best model for the job, not just stick to one.
What's extremely frustrating is the subtle framings and assumptions about the user that is then treated as implicit truth and smuggled in. It's plain and simple, narcissistic frame control. Obviously I don't think GPT has a "desire" to be narcissistic or whatever, but it's genuinely exhausting talking to GPT because of this. You have to restart the conversation immediately if you get into this loop. I've never been able to dig myself out of this state.
I feel like I've dealt with that kind of thing all my life, so I'm pretty sensitive to it.
Strange way to write this. Why use the Gen Z cringe and put it into quotation marks? Wouldn’t it be better to just use the actual word cringeworthy which has the identical meaning?
My guess is that the article was originally written by some Gen Z intern and then some older employee added the quotation marks to the Gen Z slang.
Nowadays you'll hear that cringe is cringe, let people enjoy things, be cringe and be free, etc etc
This is probably less pandering to genz and more speaking their users language.
cringe-worthy would be appropriate. cringey may be OK depending on who you ask.
EDIT:
> GPT‑5.3 Instant is available starting today to all users in ChatGPT, as well as to developers in the API as ‘gpt-5.3-chat-latest.’ Updates to Thinking and Pro will follow soon. GPT‑5.2 Instant will remain available for three months for paid users in the model picker under the Legacy Models section, after which it will be retired on June 3, 2026.
I tried gpt-5.3-instant but it says model does not exist
Also don't see it on their model page
