If you get an email you can decide to stop the service.

Just use individual queries and build on it yourself. This is all this is doing. It's a trick, and OpenAI is a PR hype company at this stage.

This feels like another desperate attempt to stay relevant cobbled together after the DeepSeek announcement last week. What was the other attempt they made? Skip a version number to seem like more progress was made (o1->o3)? From what I can tell "o3" is just the same as o1 with an extra reasoning-effort parameter.

Oh and "Deep research" is available to people on the $200 per month plan? Lol - cool. I've been using DeepSeek a lot more recently and it's so incredibly good even with all the scaling issues.

This article is so mean and ironically quite clumsily written itself. It's not that funny (although it's hard to be funny when you're being so mean-spirited!)

icon doesn't look great with my colour scheme: https://imgur.com/a/D0UcBaY

> Jumpscare Probability (%) what does this mean? % chance of it showing up per minute? per click? what?

i set it to 100% to test and there seems to be no way to cancel it once they show up. bug? it interrupts important user actions like typing and on refresh they're gone.
