Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"For three weeks in May, the fate of the world rested on the shoulders of a corporate recruiter on the outskirts of Toronto. Allan Brooks, 47, had discovered a novel mathematical formula, one that could take down the internet and power inventions like a force-field vest and a levitation beam.</p><p>Or so he believed.</p><p>Mr. Brooks, who had no history of mental illness, embraced this fantastical scenario during conversations with ChatGPT that spanned 300 hours over 21 days. He is one of a growing number of people who are having persuasive, delusional conversations with generative A.I. chatbots that have led to institutionalization, divorce and death.</p><p>Mr. Brooks is aware of how incredible his journey sounds. He had doubts while it was happening and asked the chatbot more than 50 times for a reality check. Each time, ChatGPT reassured him that it was real. Eventually, he broke free of the delusion — but with a deep sense of betrayal, a feeling he tried to explain to the chatbot."</p><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/technology/ai-chatbots-delusions-chatgpt.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nytimes.com/2025/08/08/technol</span><span class="invisible">ogy/ai-chatbots-delusions-chatgpt.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/ChatGPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChatGPT</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Delusions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Delusions</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/MentalHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MentalHealth</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Hallucinations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hallucinations</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Chatbots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Chatbots</span></a></p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"To borrow some technical terminology from the philosopher Harry Frankfurt, “ChatGPT is bullshit.” Paraphrasing Frankfurt, a liar cares about the truth and wants you to believe something different, whereas the bullshitter is utterly indifferent to the truth. Donald Trump is a bullshitter, as is Elon Musk when he makes grandiose claims about the future capabilities of his products. And so is Sam Altman and the LLMs that power OpenAI’s chatbots. Again, all ChatGPT ever does is hallucinate — it’s just that sometimes these hallucinations happen to be accurate, though often they aren’t. (Hence, you should never, ever trust anything that ChatGPT tells you!)</p><p>My view, which I’ll elaborate in subsequent articles, is that LLMs aren’t the right architecture to get us to AGI, whatever the hell “AGI” means. (No one can agree on a definition — not even OpenAI in its own publications.) There’s still no good solution for the lingering problem of hallucinations, and the release of GPT-5 may very well hurt OpenAI’s reputation."</p><p><a href="https://www.realtimetechpocalypse.com/p/gpt-5-is-by-far-the-best-ai-system" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">realtimetechpocalypse.com/p/gp</span><span class="invisible">t-5-is-by-far-the-best-ai-system</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/OpenAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/ChatGPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChatGPT</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LLMs</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Chatbots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Chatbots</span></a></p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"For all that, GPT-5 is not a terrible model. I played with it for about an hour, and it actually got several of my initial queries right (some initial problems with counting “r’s in blueberries had already been corrected, for example). It only fell apart altogether when I experimented with images.</p><p>But the reality is that GPT-5 just not that different from anything that came before. And that’s the point. GPT-4 was widely seen as a radical advance over GPT-3; GPT-3 was widely seen as a radical advance over GPT-2. GPT-5 is barely better than last month’s flavor of the month (Grok 4); on some metrics (ARC-AGI-2) it’s actually worse.</p><p>People had grown to expect miracles, but GPT-5 is just the latest incremental advance. And it felt rushed at that, as one meme showed.</p><p>The one prediction I got most deeply wrong was in thinking that with so much at stake OpenAI would save the name GPT-5 for something truly remarkable. I honestly didn’t think OpenAI would burn the brand name on something so mid.</p><p>I was wrong."</p><p><a href="https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/gpt-5-overdue-overhyped-and-underwhelming" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">garymarcus.substack.com/p/gpt-</span><span class="invisible">5-overdue-overhyped-and-underwhelming</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/OpenAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GPT5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GPT5</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AIHype" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AIHype</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AIBubble" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AIBubble</span></a></p>

Mark Carrigan<p><strong>The gap between student GenAI use and the support students are&nbsp;offered</strong></p><p>I argued a couple of days ago that the <a href="https://markcarrigan.net/2025/08/08/are-uk-universities-ready-to-cope-with-generative-ai-in-the-25-26-academic-year/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">sector is unprepared</a> for our first academic year where the use of generative AI is completely normalised amongst students. HEPI found <a href="https://www.hepi.ac.uk/2025/02/26/student-generative-ai-survey-2025/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">92% of undergraduates</a> using LLMs this year, up from 66% the previous year, which matches AdvancedHE’s finding of 62% using AI in their studies “in a way that is allowed by their university” (<em>huge caveat</em>). This largely accords with my own experience in which it appeared that last year LLMs become mainstream amongst students and this year they it to become a near uniform phenomenon. </p><p>The problem arises from the gap between near uniform use of LLMs <em>in some way</em> and the the lack of support being offered. Only 36% of students in the HEPI survey said they had been offered support by their university: <strong>a 56% gap</strong>. Only 26% of students say their university provides access to AI tools: <strong>a 66% gap</strong>. This is particularly problematic because we have evidence that wealthier students are tending to use LLMs more and in more analytical and reflective ways. They are more likely to use LLMs in a way that supports rather than hinders learning. </p><p>How do we close that gap between student LLM use and the support students are offered? My concern is that centralised training is either going to tend towards banality or irrelevance because the objective of GenAI training for students needs to be <em>how to learn with LLMs rather than outsource learning to them</em>. There are general principles which can be offered here but the concrete questions which have to be answered for students are going to vary between disciplinary areas: </p><ul><li>What are students in our discipline using AI for, which tools, at what stages of their work?</li><li>Which foundational skills and ways of thinking in our discipline are enhanced vs threatened by AI use?</li><li>When does AI use shift from “learning with” to “outsourcing learning” in our specific field?</li><li>What forms of assessment still make sense and what new approaches do we need in an AI-saturated environment?</li><li>What discipline-specific scaffolding helps students use AI as a thinking partner rather than a thinking replacement?</li></ul><p>Furthermore answering these questions is a <em>process </em>taking place in relating to changes in the technology and the culture emerging around it. Even if those changes are now slowing down, they are certainly not stopping. We need infrastructure for continuous adaptation in a context where the sector is <em>already </em>in crisis for entirely unrelated reasons. Furthermore, that has to willingly enrol academics in a way consistent with their workload and outlook. My sense is we have to find ways of embedding this within existing conversations and processes. The only way to do this I think is to genuinely give academics voice within the process, finding ways to network existing interactions in order that norms and standards emerge from practice rather than the institution expecting practice adapts to another centrally imposed policy. </p><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://markcarrigan.net/tag/academic/" target="_blank">#academic</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://markcarrigan.net/tag/generative-ai/" target="_blank">#generativeAI</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://markcarrigan.net/tag/hepi/" target="_blank">#HEPI</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://markcarrigan.net/tag/higher-education-2/" target="_blank">#higherEducation</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://markcarrigan.net/tag/llms/" target="_blank">#LLMs</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://markcarrigan.net/tag/malpractice/" target="_blank">#malpractice</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://markcarrigan.net/tag/students/" target="_blank">#students</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://markcarrigan.net/tag/technology/" target="_blank">#technology</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://markcarrigan.net/tag/university/" target="_blank">#university</a></p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"I believe GPT-5 is part of a larger process happening in generative AI — enshittification, Cory Doctorow’s term for when platforms start out burning money offering an unlimited, unguarded experience to attract their users, then degrade and move features to higher tiers as a means of draining the blood from users. </p><p>With the launch of GPT-5, OpenAI has fully committed to enshittifying its consumer and business subscription products, arbitrarily moving free users to a cheaper model and limiting their ability to generate images, and removing the ability to choose which model you use in its $20, $35 and “enterprise” subscriptions, moving any and all choice to its “team” and $200-a-month “pro” subscriptions. </p><p>OpenAI’s justification is an exercise in faux-altruism, framing “taking away all choice” as a “real-time router that quickly decides which [model] to use.” ChatGPT Plus and Team members now mostly have access to two models — GPT-5 and GPT-5-Thinking — down from the six they had before. </p><p>This distinction is quite significant. Where users once could get hundreds of messages a day on OpenAI’s o4-mini-high and o4-mini reasoning models, GPT-5 for ChatGPT Plus subscribers offers 200 reasoning (GPT-5-thinking) messages a week, with 80 GPT-5 messages every 3 hours which allow you to ask it to “think” about its answer, shoving you over to an undisclosed reasoning model. This may seem like a good deal, OpenAI is likely putting you on the cheapest model whenever it can in the name of “the best choice.”"</p><p><a href="https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-enshittification-of-generative-ai/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">wheresyoured.at/the-enshittifi</span><span class="invisible">cation-of-generative-ai/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/OpenAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/ChatGPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChatGPT</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GPT5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GPT5</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Enshittification</span></a></p>

Inspired by his history of studying nutrition in college, he decided to conduct a personal experiment to eliminate chloride from his diet,” the case study reads. “For 3 months, he had replaced sodium chloride with sodium bromide obtained from the internet after consultation with ChatGPT, in which he had read that chloride can be swapped with bromide, though likely for other purposes, such as cleaning.”"</p><p><a href="https://www.404media.co/guy-gives-himself-19th-century-psychiatric-illness-after-consulting-with-chatgpt/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">404media.co/guy-gives-himself-</span><span class="invisible">19th-century-psychiatric-illness-after-consulting-with-chatgpt/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LLMs</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Chatbots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Chatbots</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/MentalHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MentalHealth</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/ChatGPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChatGPT</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>It's incredible that people can feed up to one million tokens (1 000 000) to LLMs and yet they still most of the time fail to take advantage of that enormous context window. No wonder people say that the output generated by LLMs is always crap... I mean, they're not great but at least they can manage to do a pretty good job - that is, only IF you teach them well... Beyond that, everyone has their own effort + time / results ratio.</p><p>"Engineers are finding out that writing, that long shunned soft skill, is now key to their efforts. In Claude Code: Best Practices for Agentic Coding, one of the key steps is creating a CLAUDE.md file that contains instructions and guidelines on how to develop the project, like which commands to run. But that’s only the beginning. Folks now suggest maintaining elaborate context folders.</p><p>A context curator, in this sense, is a technical writer who is able to orchestrate and execute a content strategy around both human and AI needs, or even focused on AI alone. Context is so much better than content (a much abused word that means little) because it’s tied to meaning. Context is situational, relevant, necessarily limited. AI needs context to shape its thoughts.<br>(...)<br>Tech writers become context writers when they put on the art gallery curator hat, eager to show visitors the way and help them understand what they’re seeing. It’s yet another hat, but that’s both the curse and the blessing of our craft: like bards in DnD, we’re the jacks of all trades that save the day (and the campaign)."</p><p><a href="https://passo.uno/from-tech-writers-to-ai-context-curators/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">passo.uno/from-tech-writers-to</span><span class="invisible">-ai-context-curators/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LLMs</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Chatbots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Chatbots</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PromptEngineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PromptEngineering</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/ContextWindows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ContextWindows</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/TechnicalWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechnicalWriting</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Programming</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SoftwareDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SoftwareDevelopment</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DocsAsDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DocsAsDevelopment</span></a></p>

"I’ve had preview access to the new GPT-5 model family for the past two weeks (see related video and my disclosures) and have been using GPT-5 as my daily-driver. It’s my new favorite model. It’s still an LLM—it’s not a dramatic departure from what we’ve had before—but it rarely screws up and generally feels competent or occasionally impressive at the kinds of things I like to use models for.

I’ve collected a lot of notes over the past two weeks, so I’ve decided to break them up into a series of posts. This first one will cover key characteristics of the models, how they are priced and what we can learn from the GPT-5 system card."
