ChatGPT has become worthless
[Business & Professional]
I’m a paid member and asked it to help me research a topic and write a guide and it said it needed days to complete it. That’s a first. Usually it could do this task on the spot.
It missed the first deadline and missed 5 more. 3 weeks went by and it couldn’t get the task done. Went to Claude and it did it in 10 minutes. No idea what is going on with ChatGpt but I cancelled the pay plan.

They vibe coded a bash injection vulnerability in their devops code, which was used to gain access to the repo and push out a release with malicious code, which prompted any installed LLM wrappers like cursor to gather anything that looked like a configuration or text file in the infected machine and presumably leak them to the attacker.
Modern move money between pockets for profit economics seem to give The Hitchhiker's Guide bistromathics a run for their money.
I wonder what this means for US GDP
Don't worry, unchecked inflation and increasing housing costs will keep the GDP propped up at least for a while longer.
Zitron taking every opportunity to shit on Scott's AI2027 is kind of cathartic, ngl
Apparently the hacker who publicized a copy of the no fly list was leaked an article containing Yarvin's home address, which she promptly posted on bluesky. Won't link because I don't think we've had the doxxing discussion but It's easily findable now.
I'm mostly posting this because the article featured this photo:
