  • Am late to the game here but after reading the article I would agree.

    I use it off and on if I am looking up formulas and scripts and find it a great tool for work. It saves a ton of time. It works great and haven’t noticed any change there. Request it to give/write you a specific formula to solve X and it will. It’s a huge time saver.

    But I’ve found recently if I am trying to just find information on a subject that I want summarized or something found on the web and explained it will often ‘recommend I check out the company’s website for the latest news or recent developments.’

    That last statement was an exact quote I got recently that made me laugh when I went asking for the explanation of how something worked. It was a NO SHIT SHERLOCK moment I had after getting several of these sort of replies.

    I mean I har gotten detailed explanations of string theory ages back from ChatGPI and now it’s telling me ‘ummm just go look it up - I can’t right now…m









  • I definitely will agree with you there but why on earth would anyone pay these assholes to pretend that they would give you some privacy?

    The irony is they mine us for our private data, track us, sell it, then have the gall to demand to charge us back for use of their services.

    That’s why I get so pissed when this comes up or when adblocking on any other service rears its head (looking at you YouTube).

    People are quick to forget that these services are following you everywhere you go. Looking through your contacts. Reading your mail. Delving into every nook and cranny of your private life and selling it all.

    Instead of giving them a dime, invest in a VPN, a good Adblocker and other resources.







  • I am old enough to remember that when they first started doing promos for this they didn’t drop any info or big marketing.

    They did these real short TV spots with the Ghostbusters logo during prime time and other major shows with absolutely zero background. Only thing that was on it was the message ‘Coming to save the world’

    I remember all the buzz at the time in school because everyone was chatting about it trying to figure out what it was about. No internet or places to read up on aside from the usual movie magazines at the grocery stores so everyone was all amped by the time the actual full trailer dropped and ready to beat the door down when it arrived in theaters.



  • Not sure about this specific pump but this same thing happened in my town several months back and BT was used then too.

    When it happened we found out that the pumps at the station in particular (and probably most) have a BT receiver tied to whatever little processor that runs the pump so either a station manager or someone servicing the pumps can access them with the right equipment, make internal adjustments etc.

    In the case that happened locally to us. Someone hacked them the same way, then posted to Facebook and other social media sites to come get some free gas, etc.
