it just fully appears that the more that techbros think a position is replacable the more it desperately actually needs a human being doing it

My mistake, you are correct! I generated the file, but I did not give you a download link — let me go get it for you [pretends to walk down stairs behind couch]

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

when the bubble finally pops we should tally up every job and how often they're suggested to be so throwaway that you should use AI for it & boost the salary for all those positions for everyone some several thousand dollars

When I worked at a movie theater a coworker had broken his ankle so they had a chair in the box office for him and we would use it when he wasn’t on shift with us and then management found out and took the chair away and made him have to bring it downstairs himself every time he clocked in

It is deeply immoral that cashiers in the US are not allowed to sit.

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

i miss zag's energy a lot but it's definitely a worthy sequel. I rolled credits one of my last sessions and am hoping the story unfurls some more bc that's the main thing I'm feeling like I'm missing out on from the first game

i do think if it's a pivot that makes you happy you should go with it, but it'd suck to lose your audience because they can't find/recognize your new branding

Playing Earthbound for the first time ever in 2025 is fascinating, actually. You're just a kid and the world's gone mad. All the adults are useless at best or trying to kill you at worst. Everyone talks like a crazy person. Everything's too expensive. Your next door neighbor wants to be a dictator.
