<p>Context.<p>At least ChatGPT assumes too much from former conversations (even in unrelated new questions).
It always needs a briefing to forget certain assumptions.
It rarely asks for clarification instead of assuming too much.<p>So, it's answer generation is too dependent on tooling, system prompt and cache/memory to really have a guaranteed conversational experience.</p>

<p>Our university has an AI portal where different models are offered (e.g. ChatGPT 5.5).
They set a default system prompt which is full of the usual DEI buzzwords.
The result is, that you sometimes don't get an answer at all. Albeit the question is of valid academic interest. If the system prompt is cleared -- luckily not locked --, the models answer as expected and oneself s able to decide about the issues of that answer.</p>

<p>I've yet to meet someone with ADHD or ADHS that doesn't consume too much.
Most children I know from kindergarden or school (as a parent) bragged about their gaming consoles, gaming mobiles and consumption of drinks full of sugar and caffeine.
And their parents are dumb enough to talk down everybody else who sees excessive gaming critical.
No joke: some of them choose "gaming" as a project topic and the teachers failed to dismiss it because they're happy those kids are interested in anything at all.<p>It's not black and white. Maybe those kids would have issues even without overconsumption. But I don't see anyone trying a proper approach (remove or at least restrict the distraction first).
Instead those diagnoses seem to have become a cheap excuse for free wheeling.</p>

<p>Oh come on...<p>* Putting down the throttle of my first BEV was magic (a rented ID3 Pro rented, it's not even performing like mad, but RWD gets it done).
I laughed manically and in tears until arriving at home.
Even laid back acceleration is still fun.
ICE cars have become boring to me.<p>* The first time generating a longer working script with ChatGPT in its early incarnation was great!
Correcting a broken web app by a junior dev with the help of Claude and ChatGPT was also crazy the first time.<p>* Letting the drone of my brother in law start and land from my hand, making incredible camera moves by pushing a few buttons was surreal.<p>* Hearing the first sounds of my mobile with Dolby Atmos was also like hallucinating. These tiny speakers have become unbelievable good for media consumption.<p>* Playing a recent e-piano that even mimics damper and co-vibrating strings. The improvements in tactile and acoustic experience are subtle but great<p>* I cannot wait to test a tone3000 neural amp modeling thingy -- the first time I heard a Kemper and tested even the basic Pod Go was also great.<p>* First picture of a laser projector: blown away.
Next level of sharp picture.<p>...<p>So, I don't know what you're talking about.</p>

<p>Nope. The scientific community is eagerly waiting for prices to drop.<p>Single 5090, single H100, a few 4090s, a few Blackwell PRO 6000... that's all there often is as dedicated devices for a faculty (apart from the oversubscribed bigger clusters with big stuff).<p>Apart from the chairs doing vision, most of them use them headless.
So, landfill will be highly unlikely, if things get sold fast enough.</p>

<p>Same fun when they couldn't decide if they were for or against Sütterlin scripture.
They also like to drive Simson motorcycles.
Despite the Simson family being Jewish (and publicly calling out against the AfD).
They dress with "Fred Perry" -- look it up yourself, how paradox that is.
The right-wing likes to talk about the German heritage of the "Dichtern and Denker" (poets and thinkers) and yet the Third Reich was stupid enough to kill or at least exile most.
They like to talk about /clean blood/, /natural order/ despite biology having a different opinion which it clearly shows when inbreeding happens (also due to xenophobia).
Their /family values/ are indistinguishable from the islamists they pretend to fight.
...
The list of paradoxes never ends.
...<p>You cannot argue with stupids</p>
