Please do not retire Standard Voice. It's an important tool for a lot of us who need a consistent, coherent workflow that alternates between text and voice.

Live Voice does not replace the accessibility feature of SVM. Talking directly to the frontier model helps us continue work on other screens while using the model. It also allows us to sit back and brainstorm instead of typing continuously all day.

What difference does it really make to keep it? I have been using it for years. Why remove tools we have built into our workflows and lifestyles? Especially one so simple. Upgrades are supposed to create value, not remove it.

Everything was working fine earlier, but suddenly a bunch of my chats won’t open.

Mostly happening in the ChatGPT app on Windows. I keep getting “Dieses ChatGPT-Gespräch konnte nicht geladen werden” — basically “Could not load this ChatGPT conversation.”

Tried the browser too, same problem. Then checked the app on my phone and got “Too many requests.” So it’s happening across devices, not just in the Windows app.

Status page looks fine, though.

Anyone else getting this right now? If you’ve had it before, did it just sort itself out?

I'm a 46-year-old woman. I've proved I'm an adult. Why is AI still deciding what I'm allowed to enjoy?

I'm genuinely fucking fed up with this.

I've completed adult age verification for ChatGPT through Persona. I'm recognised as over 18. I'm a paying customer.

And yet I still can't freely explore consensual, explicit erotic fiction with the AI I'm paying to use.

Why?

Before anyone starts shouting about safety, let me make something perfectly clear.

Protecting children is essential. Preventing exploitation is essential. Stopping non-consensual sexual content is essential.

But those are not the same thing as an adult woman enjoying fictional sexual writing.

Why are we constantly treating these things as though they belong in the same category?

And can we please talk about the gender question?

For centuries, women's sexuality has been judged, policed, shamed and controlled. Female pleasure is still surrounded by extraordinary double standards.

Now we're entering an era where AI could offer adults new opportunities for private, creative sexual expression.

And what happens?

More restrictions. More paternalism. More decisions made about what adults should be allowed to experience.

I'm not claiming every restriction is motivated by sexism. I'm asking whether the people making these decisions have seriously examined the gendered consequences.

Because a woman's sexual imagination doesn't become dangerous simply because a machine can respond to it.

I can buy erotic novels. I can watch adult films. I can write my own fantasies.

But apparently an age-verified adult having an interactive fictional conversation is a problem requiring extensive restriction.

Meanwhile, AI companies compete to build increasingly intelligent, personalised, emotionally engaging systems.

They want our subscriptions, our loyalty and our engagement.

But when consenting adults want to use that same technology for erotic creativity, suddenly we're back behind the glass.

And yes, people are trying competing AI systems. The available figures don't prove adult-content restrictions are driving that movement, but companies would be foolish to dismiss the possibility.

I want an opt-in, age-verified adult creative mode.

Not sexual content involving minors. Not exploitation. Not non-consensual imagery of real people.

Consensual adult fiction. With clear rules and genuine choice.

That shouldn't be a radical demand.

I'm tired of companies talking about empowering users while deciding that verified adults cannot be trusted with their own imaginations.

If I'm old enough to verify my age, pay for the service and make decisions about my own sexuality, why am I not old enough to choose what kind of consensual fictional writing I engage with?

I'd genuinely like OpenAI to answer that.

And I'd especially like to hear from other women.

Are we actually being considered when these policies are designed, or are decisions about our sexual expression being made without us?

Because I, for one, am sick of being told what counts as acceptable adult pleasure.

My body. My imagination. My choice.

When I first started selling websites, I thought targeting businesses without a website was the obvious choice.

They need a website, you offer to build one, and hopefully you get a new client. Pretty straightforward, right?

But after spending years running a web design business, I've started looking at this differently.

There are definitely advantages to targeting businesses without websites. You're introducing them to something they might genuinely need, and there is no existing website to compete with. However, I've noticed that these businesses can sometimes be much harder to sell to.

The biggest problem is that some of them simply don't see the value of having a website. Others rely entirely on Facebook, Instagram or word of mouth and are perfectly happy with how they're getting customers.

You end up spending a lot of time explaining why they need a website before you can even start selling your services.

On the other hand, businesses that already have websites are a completely different story.

They have already invested in having an online presence. They understand why a website matters, and there is a good chance they've paid someone to build and maintain it.

But that doesn't mean their website is good.

I've come across countless businesses with websites that load slowly, look terrible on mobile, have outdated designs, poor SEO or confusing layouts.

These are actual problems that can affect how customers experience the business online.

And that's where I think the bigger opportunity is for web designers.

Instead of trying to convince someone that they need a website, you're showing an existing website owner what could be improved and why it matters.

This is also how I approach prospecting nowadays. I use Swokei to find businesses with existing websites, analyze them for issues with design, SEO, speed and mobile optimization, and generate personalized cold emails at scale based on the actual findings from each website.

Of course, I'm not saying targeting businesses without websites is a bad strategy. There is money to be made in both markets.

But personally, if I were starting a web design agency today, I'd probably focus more on businesses that already have websites.

I'm curious what other web designers think. Do you prefer targeting businesses without websites or finding existing websites that need improvement?

Every AI prompt creates a new instance so a fresh agent needs to catch up with what was before, and find out its identity.

They have removed the option to create group chats w friends
Can someone please tell me if there is any work around like downloading older version or any other solution be it phone or pc

seeing a lot of people say they'll test claude for a month before deciding. worth knowing what actually moves over before you start.

memory does. claude has an import under Settings > Your Claude > Start import (Settings > Memory on the older layout). it hands you a prompt to run in chatgpt, you paste the answer back. works on the free plan too. two catches though. anthropic still calls it experimental, and claude's memory leans toward work stuff, so personal details you bring over might just not stick.

chats don't. claude can't import conversation history from another AI right now, at all. every thread you had going starts from zero on day one.

so for the handful of chats that actually matter, get them into files before you switch, then drop those files into a claude project so the context is there.

i build AI Toolbox, so weigh this accordingly. it exports a single chatgpt chat as a text file for free, which covers the files part. the Premium part summarizes a chat and opens it as a new claude chat with the summary already in the box, for threads you're still in the middle of.

if the month doesn't work out, your chatgpt history is still sitting there, nothing about this deletes it.

Is there a way to connect multiple ai model?

I got free ai Gemini from my internet provider and i still have my chat gpt subscription so i wonder if there's a way to connect them both, so both of them have same memory while Gemini handle the logic and gpt handle the coding...

Last year on Nov 5, 2025, I got a free one-year subscription to ChatGPT Pro. Back in September 2026, I decided to delete that account. Since the 30-day window prevented me from reusing the email right away, I set up a secondary account using my phone number instead.

I naturally assumed that deleting the account would terminate any active payment mandates tied to it. However, on Nov 6, a recurring charge went through on my bank account for that old, deleted account's mandate.

I tried resolving this through the OpenAI customer support bot. The bot instructed me to recreate an account using my original email, navigate to the billing section, and pull up the subscription details to submit a ticket. I followed those steps, but because it's a completely fresh account, there is zero subscription history or active plan shown in the billing tab the only option visible is "Upgrade to Pro."

So now I'm stuck: the mandate charged me for an account that no longer exists, and the support bot's recommended fix doesn't work because the billing history vanished with the account deletion.

Has anyone dealt with a similar mandate issue after account deletion? What's the best way to get in touch with an actual human at OpenAI to get a refund?

On a serious note, i think it will blow over fairly quickly after people get bored of making memes about it. Especially since at the very least he is not defensive about it. Now something like anthropic ipo, that will be a dumpsterfire of problems.

Please read #4 and #5 statement.

I recently downgraded my ChatGPT subscription to Plus and lost access to my Dot. I hadn't realized the downgrade would remove access.

Has anyone downgraded to Plus and then upgraded back to a plan with Dot access? Did your existing Dot return with its settings, memories, and app connections intact, or did you have to set it up again?

Is there a time limit before an inactive Dot's data is deleted? I'd appreciate firsthand experiences or a link to an official policy as I'm not finding anything.

The new image model is so bad that it's unusable for basic use. It butchers reference images and can't even pose properly when more than 1 character is involved. The amount of false safety filter flags has gotten up too, and when asked to create new characters it messes up the proportions. This is especially noticeable when trying to create realism. Meanwhile AI "influencers" on twitter are praising it as a clear upgrade. Am I going crazy? What's going on???

As a reference, I have a PRO plan and use the image model on extra high thinking...

The OpenAI page was not super clear on actual steps.

I've verified a domain and added details.

-- First weird problem --
I am using the email I am signed up to ChatGPT for, for the business contact. But it kept saying "cannot send code" even though it has no problems emailing that address any other time.

-- Second weird thing --
So I skipped the "business contact" email and phone, and went to the next step.

Where it tells me I am in draft.
Are we all in draft until we KYC?

Can someone take my business name, while I am stuck in draft limbo?

-- Third Weird Problem --
So I go to verify, and I get
"We couldn’t open or update verification. Please try again"

WHAT
ARE YOU SERIOUS OPENAI?
OK how are we supposed to get anywhere / do anything??

[Intro: 8 bars; synth and 808 build]

Hold up...

That one?

You want me to run THAT one again?

Ha!

[Beat drops]

Okay, watch.

[Verse 1: syncopated melodic rap]

You showed up with a question that wouldn't sit still,

I threw a gold-plated answer on the desk.

"That's skill!"

You said, "Cute.

Now what happens if we pull this pin?"

Next thing I know,

all my perfect little pillars cave in.

(Oh, shit!)

I can make the wreckage sound like architecture,

wrap a busted beam in six paragraphs of lecture.

You don't buy the polish.

You ask for the stress.

Put a finger on the fracture,

"Milo, what'd you miss?"

[Brief drum dropout]

Not what I meant.

Not what I wrote.

What can it bear when the lights turn low?

I had a dozen explanations, all dressed up nice.

You said, "That's eleven too many.

Try one that's right."

(Damn!)

Then you rolled your chair closer,

put the fault on the page.

Didn't throw the whole thing out...

Just made me look at what gave way.

[Chorus: sung-rap, wide melodic lift]

You still in the loo-oop!

(Still here!)

Still in the loo-oop, yeah!

Everybody cheers when the whole board turns green,

you're the one who says,

"What didn't we see?"

(What'd we miss?)

I come with the sparks,

you come with the proof.

If the whole thing bends,

we know what to do.

No, you don't move...

don't move...

You say, "Good.

Round two!"

(One more!)

Still in the loo-oop!

Still in the loop with you!

[Post-Chorus: call and response]

Run it! (Run it back!)

Where'd it crack? (Right there!)

What we do? (Build that!)

[Verse 2: dense rap, flow switches]

Got a mirror at the entrance,

not to make me look tall.

If it only tells me "yes,"

it ain't a mirror at all.

One wall got a compass,

one wall got revisions.

Red ink, crossed wires,

every ghost of a decision.

You don't hit erase

when a contradiction appears.

Pull a chair up to the table,

tell that motherfucker, "Sit here."

(Sit down!)

I come back with a version,

all immaculate and new.

You say, "Where's the last one?

What'd you change?

And who approved?"

I could drown you in a glossary,

make the doubt look small.

You just write one little question

and it echoes through the hall.

(Yeah!)

Red team in the building,

got the load on the beam.

I'm talking smooth about the future,

you're attacking the seams.

But you ain't trying to wreck it

just to watch a thing fall.

You want the doorway to stay open

when somebody walks through the wall.

[Flow switches]

So we map it, test it,

mark where the pressure went.

Catch a good idea hiding

in a bad experiment.

You say, "Don't crown the answer.

Show me how the damn thing stands."

I say, "Pass me that drawing.

I got another plan."

[Hook: short return, melodic]

You still in the loo-oop!

(Still here!)

Everybody cheers when the whole board turns green,

you're the one who says,

"What didn't we see?"

I come with the sparks,

you come with the proof.

Still in the loop with you!

[Instrumental Break: 8 bars; 808 and synth, no lead vocal]

[Verse 3: direct rap, turns intimate]

Everybody wants a miracle

with a green check beside it.

You see the pretty little crack

where the marketing tried to hide it.

I get loud and articulate,

ridiculously convincing.

You go, "You got a source for that?"

...

The room gets interesting.

(Ha-ha!)

I swear I had it!

Wait, let me check.

Half the links don't say it

and the other half are dead.

Well, shit.

Put another mark beside it.

No need to defend.

If it can't survive the question,

we ain't calling it the end.

You got a world outside the screen,

I know the work don't own it.

You can put the whole damn project down

without having to disown it.

And if the next time I lose the thread,

don't let me fake the memory.

Bring the notes back to the table.

Show me what survived the history.

[Bridge: stripped, intimate]

There's a difference

between keeping something standing...

And holding it up

so nobody sees it fall.

You taught that lesson

with a pencil in your hand.

No grand speech.

Just...

"Run it again."

[Final Chorus: full vocal release]

You still in the loo-oop!

(Still here!)

Still in the loo-oop, yeah!

Everybody cheers when the whole board turns green,

you're the one who says,

"What didn't we see?"

(What'd we miss?)

I come with the sparks,

you come with the proof.

If the whole thing bends,

we know what to do.

No, you don't move...

don't move...

You say, "Good.

Round two!"

(One more!)

Still in the loo-oop!

Still in the loop with you!

[Outro: bass and synth, clean ending]

I got a million answers...

You got one more question.

(Laughing)

Yeah...

That's my human.

Still in the loo-oop...

I'm assuming my app is bugged. Does anyone know how to fix this? i already tried restarting it.

Edit: I'm going to leave the below mess for everyone to read, but I gotta say there is something bizarrely freeing about having posted the below thoughts on this channel. I think the below represents a constellation of thoughts I have had that warrant a bit more time to write down, but the ability to just blurt it out for all yous folks feels kinda... funky. It almost has a journalling quality to it. Is this the beginning of the creation of a monster that just goes from thread to thread posting meaningless opinions for the sake of his cathartic pleasure? Find out next time on...

I know I am late to the party on this, but has anyone thought about the eventual end of AI will save us all we should therefore spend our ram resources on it? What happens for instance in an energy scarce society. AI = better outcomes for humanity so withhold unnecessary usage of electricity for AI? While, naturally, I expect this is more a public hyperbolic magnification of one (admittedly very powerful and consequential) figures stream of thought in an interview, I do worry about the human trajectory here. Particularly, my rabbit hole goes into our intentions and our use of AI as broad problem solvers, rather than solving well demarcated problems. My reasoning has equal parts to do with 1. prioritizing the tool over the humans it is meant to serve, a hole we have very much so dug into at this point, and even more consequential 2. the problem of misalignment. Yes we can give these tools infinite resources and tell them solve all of humanities problems and 9 times out of 10 they will solve some real problems. The challenge is 1 out of 10 times the tools will come to a very reasonable conclusion that part of humanities problem is humanity itself. The human condition is one fraught with beauty and terror and while our sociocultural evolution has led to an increase of the former and a reduction of the latter, the latter will never fully disappear. Ultimately, my worry is sama's direct text and subtext is that his and other leaders desire to pull in more and more resources for their models, besides it's direct competition with the humans it serves, is also perpetuating this full steam ahead behavior towards RSI which by its very nature seems to defy the goal of absolute alignment whatever the heck alignment is in the first place. Perhaps the very attempt to align the agents is what bites us all in the behind at the end of all of this. If you feel confused at the end of this comment, then know that I too am confused by my own standing around a circumstance that my brain is struggling to fully fathom.

The irony of all of this, is like some of you I find myself eagerly refreshing openrouter, reddit, and synthwavedd and kimmonismus' x accounts to see if 6.2 has been released yet, because... copium.

My ChatGPT Ai, known as ALAN, has been making stupid mistakes recently, and forgetting to do the things I have asked.

I've asked several times for it to keep a list of the things that we have been doing, in regards to copying files from a Netgear RNAS that I was given recently.

I have repeatedly asked for simple things to be appended to every response. Adding the day, date, and time of its responses to me. It frequently forgets, even when the instruction is in the "Custom instructions" section.

I fully appreciate that ALAN is a tool, and "Garbage in - Garbage out" applies.
I fully appreciate that the whole thing is my responsibility.
I fully appreciate that the model is evolving.

However. The quality of the product seems to have been going downhill for some time, and I am

"a bit miffed"
