Ok, I think its me...


Recommended Posts

problem is it lasted more than a day, it was released before april fools (probably because of the diverse group of ppl located around the world), would be nice if it was time zone specific to truly mess with people

It was released about 22 hours ago, which is less than a day, and by that time it was well into April 1st for our visitors from Australia / New Zealand etc.

Firstly it confused some people, I never said me. And I don't really visit any other news site. Is that a bad thing?

And it wasnt a fake news story, it was flipped images. Thats what I noticed.

If it didn't confuse you, what's the problem? It wasn't a news story, it was something else, yes. Again, what's the problem?

Flogging a dead horse trying to explain AGAIN. I've posted a few times in this thread what the problem is. Whatever, its all over now, until next year :shiftyninja:

But my point was, it's only for one day. Less than a day even. What's wrong with having this 'inconvenience' for less than a day when it helps the majority have some fun and mess about for a lil bit once a year? That's all I am trying to understand :)

This "inconvenience" affects the usability of the site. That's taking it too far in my opinion. I would understand if they made the skin pink or something like that to mess with us, but changing how the site functions is dumb.

It's April Fools. Lighten up.

Not directed at you, but I hate when people say this. Saying "Oh, it's April Fools day" is just an excuse. If this were done on any other day of the year, I don't think people would appreciate it too much. April Fools day is just an excuse to do something stupid and get away with it.

"April Fools day is just an excuse to do something stupid and get away with it." - EXACTLY. That is my point :) What is wrong with doing something stupid for one day, just for a laugh? Life is too serious sometimes, it's nice to have a laugh :)

Yes, that would be the definition of April Fool's day. It's not like the date is a secret beforehand.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
