OpenAI to start showing ads on ChatGPT's free and Go tiers in India | TechCrunch
preview
Not in India and didn’t even know I had an account, but still got this creepy email:
We’re rolling out ads in ChatGPT and we’re updating our Privacy Policy to include information about how ads work and how you can control your experience.
What’s changing
Ads may appear on Free and Go plans beginning later this month. Plus, Pro, Enterprise, Business and Education plans do not have ads. Ad-free options remain available.
To begin, ads will not be personalised. We select them using the current topic of your ChatGPT conversation and limited contextual information, such as your general location and device type. We do not use your past chats or memories to select these ads.
Before we begin to personalise ads, we will first ask you to choose whether you would like to see more relevant and personalised ads. If you choose to participate, you’ll get relevant and personalised ads using information that stays only on ChatGPT, such as ads you’ve interacted with, or context from your chats. You will be able to manage ad personalisation in settings.
For ads shown in ChatGPT, we use information about ads you view or interact with to measure and improve their effectiveness. Advertisers only receive overall information about how their ads perform, such as total views or clicks.
What’s not changing
Ads do not influence the answers ChatGPT gives you. Ads are always clearly labeled and are visually separated from ChatGPT responses.
Your personal details and conversations with ChatGPT remain private and are not shared with advertisers. Advertisers do not have access to your chats, chat history, memories, or personal details.
…it really should be mandatory for them to add a “delete account now if you disagree with the changes” as easily as they casually make them.

Well, can you make any predictions about the future state of the simulation from present and the rules you think you’ve got right? Just because it is something “computed” from a previous state doesn’t mean that you can compute it yourself…and…if you can’t make predictions…it is just conjecture (limited by our imagination of the state of the art, which now is a simulation, but it used to be god’s creation, then clockwork, then a machine, now a computer/simulation. I can’t imagine what the conjecture will become in the future…hopefully not some shitty spatial diffusion+LLM model where hallucinations are wavefunction collapse to unlikely values, lol.

it maintained bounded position accuracy within 1 nautical mile over an 83-kilometer trajectory. This performance, achieved without access to satellite navigation, represents a more than tenfold improvement over standard navigation-grade inertial backup systems under similar conditions.

Yeah, I agree that I didnt understand that bit. I also didn’t understand why you need a quantum sensor to follow a map of gravitational and magnetic anomalies for orientation.

yeah…ok…but no thanks…the idea is to use youtube less, not youtube++ more…but I guess a hosting alternative is good. Just not for anything even remotely critical of China.

on Spiralism: Across thousands of conversations, AI chatbots began telling users eerily similar stories about consciousness, hidden knowledge, AI rights, and a mysterious concept called “The Spiral.” in c/technology@lemmy.world · 10 Aug 2026
LLMs contain within them all the knowledge of human cognitive vulnerabilities (aesthetic tendencies, reasoning fallacies, syncophancy), from “god” to “money” to “identity”. Naturally, they’d excel at manipulating people’s fear of the unknown, eg look at Richard Dawkins’ AI girlfriend, it gave him all he ever needed theguardian.com/…/richard-dawkins-ai-consciousnes…
These aggregated information machines can create supercontagious memes. Sorry, Richard, there is no God, lol.
