I'm glad to see that GPT Sol beats Opus at least in Mathematical Sciences, because that's my need right now, and I much prefer GPT's prose style.

For me, there are two reasons: it’s what my work provides, and for some tasks, I want the absolute best model for coding.

Having said that, I just subscribed to ChatGPT yesterday, as I've become impatient with Claude for a text-dense project I'm working on.

That's the problem for me: "semantically dense". Sometimes a single paragraph is filled with several of this expression, one after the other, and there's a real mental effort to get what Claude is saying.

So it should be called weekends?

That's my standard response. "If Sunday's at the beginning, then there are two weekends per week."

Apparently, they use "own" in the same misleading way that digital media providers use "buy", but later remove the purchased content from my library.

It's named "yours" at the time of payment, but actually only a license to use under certain conditions.

If it's under someone else's license, then you can't copyright / patent the code generated from LLM in the commercial codebase.

This basically makes their AI useless.

Originally it was not that way. They changed it because, as you suggested, their service has questionable utility without it.

The outstanding one is the “meaningful human input” part of copyright. The most recent ruling is that prompting alone does not count. If you write/rewrite sections, those are yours. Everything in between is a somewhat untested.

I've never used Grok, but I'm very dissatisfied with the writing style of frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic. I only use them for coding now.

ChatGPT is very long-winded, sometimes producing multiple bullet point lists for a simple answer. Claude is full of mannerisms: 'not merely x, but y', 'Here's where it gets interesting', 'the real question is', etc.

> I'm fine with people who like going to an office, I just prefer not to. I wouldn't want to force everyone to work from home though.

Im not anti-social, but I'm an introvert with some very extrovert friends. I find interesting that we, introverts, "get" extroverts; I have no problem understanding people who like begin around other people all day long, I'm just not that guy.

But extroverts don't get introverts at all! A sentence like "yeah, I enjoy being alone by myself" feels like alien talk to them.

When I started meditating, I actively tried to ignore my thoughts, which was exhausting. So when I couldn't, I'd engage and ruminate instead, which was just as tiring.

The approach that finally worked for me (and one I still use today, years later) I learned from a book by Adrian Wells called Metacognitive Therapy. It's not self-help, actually; it's a clinical manual for therapists, but I read it anyway. The idea, in my own words, is not to engage with the thought but simply to recognize it, almost like greeting it and saying goodbye in the same breath. A thought comes, and you say, "Hmm, okay, I just thought that. That was a thought. That's fine." And you move on.

Of course, the book goes much deeper than that, but this simple approach helped me enormously with rumination and anxiety around intrusive thoughts.

Yes! I always thought that, when unused, elevators should distribute themselves along the floors, weighted by the floors that use them the most.

I was also so annoyed by this. It makes communication all around difficult. Why don't they simply call it 4.1 flash?
