#problem indeed

This person is paying OpenAI two hundred dollars a month to have a chatbot gaslight them about making an excel spreadsheet

Cannot generate simple excel files on pro version
Question
So I have used ChatGPT pro for a while now and recently I have been facing an issue while trying to collate data from pdfs and put it in an excel sheet where in my chat it keeps asking me questions when it finally gets down to generating an excel sheet it never gives me the me the link to download the file.
After multiple attempts when it does give me a lin k to download the excel file I rec an error which says file not found. Starting to grow frustrated with this now.
Look forward to any suggestions to tackle this #problem

Much along those lines I sing "My boy Chunkamunk / he makes my heart do a big ka-thunk" to the tune of Millie Small's "My Boy Lollipop" (1964.)

(The terrier's nickname is Chunkamunka, you see)

okay I'm extremely into this and am immediately ready to get deeply emotionally invested in my favorite ladder knight

If only there'd been a good guy with a ladder to stop the heist, but Europeans don't value Freedom

I heard "unalived" at an actual work meeting recently, and the weird thing was it seemed it was used out of, like, decorum? Felt like "unalived" was automatically the polite version of "died by suicide" and it really kind of threw me for a loop.

the forced self-censorship gibberish we all have to do on social media now is having a devastating effect on the way people communicate with each other. nobody in a healthy society is saying "unalived"

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

The media’s overriding concern is not being accused of bias by the right, which means all coverage is framed around granting the right the maximum benefit of the doubt, however implausible. Such that sewage becomes “a brown liquid” until other possibilities are ruled out. Maybe it’s cake batter!

Tim Carvell @timcarvell.bsky.social · 5h

I get that there are times when disputes over news coverage are a matter of emphasis or perspective on big, sprawling events, but it feels bad for public trust in a publication when it fails to accurately describe a video that’s 20 seconds long, and that everyone can see.

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

he posted an AI video of himself flying a King Trump plane and dumping shit on the protests

that’s the bare bones factual description of what happened, no editorializing involved

publishing that is the absolute bare minimum if you want to call yourself the news

the media has made a huge deal about Neutrality and Not Editorializing and it all falls apart when you realize they are too afraid to publish a factual description of the video Trump posted

Just since so far we don't seem to be doing a very good job stopping it ourselves, so I was wondering.

I don't know how this is supposed to work, but is, like, the UN or anybody going to stop us from murdering Colombian and Venezuelan fisherman?

if the president does something so awful it would be indecent to describe and ask about then you very obviously need to describe and ask about it, thats the entire job

as far as just messaging goes that video is probably the most embarrassing thing any president has done on the world stage in my life

and the fact that the sunday shows wont even describe it? total abdication of their responsibility

In all seriousness my uninformed gut feeling is that DJT himself did not conceive of or necessarily understand the King Donald Drops Shit On Protestors video and probably didn't post it himself. Another check in the "he's completely out of it" column imho.

Lots of peoole saying this. I think there's somethimg to it, like probably Trump has obviously diminished capacity and the people around him are taking advantage of him.

I’m hearing trump has obviously diminished capacity and the people around him are taking advantage of him. Is there any truth to this?

i would hope you hear more and more elected officials pointing out that "trump has obviously diminished capacity and the people around him are taking advantage of him" because trump has obviously diminished capacity and the people around him are taking advantage of him
