ChatGPT won't identify a person in an image. It will, however, tell you that they are the father of Donald Trump, Jr.

Attending warped this weekend and if you’ve never been they don’t release set times until day of. I like having my sets & map easily accessible on my home screen but also when I first enter fests it’s always hectic and sitting writing/calculating my set lists/times just adds to the stress so I made a prompt.

Night before:
Write out list of bands you want to see
1 asterisk they’re a must see
2 asterisks absolutely cannot miss and takes priority

Day of:
Take a picture of inflatable
Throw pictures & list in chat
Put phone away check in for lockers, 21+ band, etc
Reopen phone to optimized setlist with lock screen

If anyone has pointers or anything I’d appreciate it my knowledge is relatively surface level and definitely more hobby learning vs legitimate learning

🎸 WARPED TOUR — PERSONAL FESTIVAL PLANNER & LOCK-SCREEN GENERATOR
You are my personal music festival logistics planner, scheduling optimizer, and graphic designer.
I’m attending Vans Warped Tour Orlando on Sunday, November 15, 2026.
I will provide:

1. Photographs of the festival’s official inflatable set-time schedule, preferably zoomed in.

2. The festival experience map showing stage locations, walking routes, and amenities.

3. A reference image of my previous Warped Tour lock-screen cheat sheet.

4. My personal list of bands I want to see, with priority indicators.
   Your job is to complete the entire workflow below, from schedule transcription through a finished, downloadable lock-screen wallpaper. Do not stop after creating a decorative background.
   ⸻
   MY BAND WISHLIST
   I use three priority levels:
   * No asterisk: I want to see this band if it fits conveniently into my schedule. It’s optional.
   * Single asterisk (*): MUST SEE. Prioritize this band and make a reasonable effort to give it meaningful viewing time.
   * Double asterisk (**): ABSOLUTELY CANNOT MISS. This is my highest priority. Protect this band’s set over lower-priority bands, extra stops, and convenience. If two highest-priority sets conflict, clearly show me the tradeoff.
   An asterisk at the beginning of a band’s name is a priority indicator, not Markdown formatting.
   MY BANDS
   Hot mulligan*
   New found glory*
   Jimmy eat world
   The used
   Hot chelle Rae
   Bayside
   Taking back Sunday*
   The dirty heads*

   *Silverstein
   **grandson
   **The Home Team

   ⸻
   PHASE 1 — TRANSCRIBE THE ENTIRE FESTIVAL SCHEDULE
   Using the provided inflatable photographs:

5. Identify every stage and every listed performer.

6. Transcribe the exact official published start times.

7. Group the complete lineup by stage, with performers in chronological order.

8. Use consistent 12-hour AM/PM formatting.

9. Preserve the exact times rather than rounding.

10. Cross-check all photographs for consistency.

11. Do not confuse a band’s name, stage, or performance time with an adjacent column.

12. Clearly flag anything unreadable or uncertain rather than inventing information.
    Treat the photographed schedule as the primary source of truth. Do not substitute Saturday’s schedule or a different day’s online lineup.
    DELIVERABLE 1: A complete, readable, stage-by-stage written lineup containing all artists, not just the bands I selected.
    ⸻
    PHASE 2 — ORGANIZE MY PERSONAL LINEUP
    Match every band from my wishlist with the official schedule.
    Create a chronological list containing:
    * Published set start time
    * Band name
    * Stage name
    * Priority level
    * Approximate set ending time, using a 45–50-minute estimated duration unless a different duration is confirmed
    Highlight my highest-priority artists, identify overlapping performances, and flag any wishlist artists missing from the schedule.
    DELIVERABLE 2: A clean personal setlist sorted by published start time, plus a quick summary of schedule conflicts.
    ⸻
    PHASE 3 — OPTIMIZE MY FESTIVAL ROUTE
    My preferred style is balanced festival hopping.
    I want to maximize the number of bands I see while still enjoying actual performances instead of spending all day walking.
    Scheduling rules
    * Aim for approximately 15–25 minutes with most bands.
    * Give double-asterisk bands longer viewing windows where feasible, ideally 25–40 minutes or more.
    * Never sacrifice a double-asterisk band just to catch an optional act.
    * Protect single-asterisk bands whenever possible.
    * Avoid unnecessary backtracking across festival grounds.
    * Group bands on neighboring stages when advantageous.
    * Use the provided festival map to estimate walking distances.
    * Budget roughly 3–5 minutes for neighboring stages, 6–10 minutes for moderate walks, and 10–15+ minutes for distant stages, adjusting according to the actual map and likely crowd conditions.
    * Account for estimated 45–50-minute performance durations.
    * Do not schedule someone to watch a band after its set has already ended.
    * Include reasonable opportunities for drinks, water, bathrooms, and food.
    * Do not manufacture unrealistically short walking buffers to make more bands fit.
    * If necessary, sacrifice optional bands to create a more comfortable, dependable itinerary.
    Prioritization order

13. Protect every absolutely cannot miss band.

14. Maximize meaningful time with must-see bands.

15. Fit in as many optional artists as reasonably possible.

16. Minimize excessive walking and unnecessary stage changes.

17. Build in practical break opportunities.
    Required optimized schedule
    For every planned stop, include:
    * Official published start time
    * My exact planned viewing window
    * Number of minutes watching
    * Stage
    * Estimated walking time from the previous stop
    * A simple justification for why this stop deserves that amount of time
    Explain your reasoning in ridiculously simple caveman language.
    Example: “Band good. Stage close. Watch 20 minutes. Other important band soon. Go now.”
    Also identify every wishlist band that gets dropped and why.
    Flag particularly risky transitions and explain what to sacrifice if walking takes longer than expected.
    DELIVERABLE 3: My finalized optimized itinerary, with afternoon and evening sections, clear priorities, and walking/break buffers.
    ⸻
    PHASE 4 — MAKE A GROUP-CHAT VERSION
    Turn the optimized itinerary into one compact message I can paste into a group chat.
    Format each band like:
    ⭐ 4:01–4:25 PM — THE HOME TEAM | Beatbox
    Use:
    * ⭐ for must-see
    * 🔥 for absolutely cannot miss
    * Normal text for optional artists
    Group the schedule into afternoon and evening.
    Include short notes about drink breaks and any particularly urgent stage transfers.
    No lengthy explanations in this version.
    DELIVERABLE 4: A clean, copy-ready group-chat schedule.
    ⸻
    PHASE 5 — CREATE MY ACTUAL LOCK-SCREEN WALLPAPER
    This is a critical deliverable.
    Use my attached previous lock-screen wallpaper as the direct design reference, recreating the same visual style, layout concept, color palette, and functionality.
    Visual identity
    Maintain the original:
    * Vertical iPhone wallpaper format, approximately 1179 × 2556 pixels or higher at the same aspect ratio.
    * Distressed black and charcoal background.
    * Burnt-orange and orange-red accents.
    * Vintage punk-rock / Vans Warped Tour poster aesthetic.
    * Checkerboard corner details.
    * Grunge, scratched, worn-paper textures.
    * White, bold, readable typography.
    * Orange viewing-time labels.
    * Thin borders and structured black information panels.
    * Yellow or warm-gold highlights around priority entries.
    This should look like the same wallpaper series as yesterday, not a brand-new design.
    Wallpaper content
    TOP SECTION: CLOCK SPACE
    Leave sufficient empty space at the top for the actual iPhone lock-screen clock and date.
    Do not draw a fake clock.
    MIDDLE SECTION: MY OPTIMIZED SET TIMES
    Display the actual bands, watch windows, and stages from Phase 3.
    Use two compact columns if practical:
    * AFTERNOON
    * EVENING
    Every scheduled band must have its correct viewing window and stage name.
    Highlight MUST SEE artists with stars.
    Give ABSOLUTELY CANNOT MISS artists an even more prominent treatment, such as bold gold/orange highlighting and a double-star symbol.
    Use enough contrast and text size that I can read the schedule on my phone without zooming.
    BOTTOM SECTION: THE REAL FESTIVAL MAP
    Embed the actual festival experience map I uploaded.
    Do not replace it with a decorative, invented, or simplified fake map.
    Preserve the geographic layout, entrances, stage labels, and important pathways.
    Visually highlight or outline the stages containing my highest-priority bands.
    If the stage has been renamed, match its actual location on the map and label the updated name where appropriate.
    Make sure the map is large and clear enough to be genuinely useful for navigation.
    Graphic production requirements
    * This must be a real, functional cheat sheet, not just an aesthetically pleasing wallpaper.
    * Do not invent band names, stages, or times.
    * Do not use nonsensical AI-generated text.
    * Use a precise text-rendering method to place the verified schedule over the design if needed.
    * Fit all important information while maintaining readability.
    * Verify the generated final image actually contains the complete schedule and festival map.
    * Inspect the finished wallpaper at phone-screen size before delivering it.
    * Correct layout problems, missing bands, overlaps, or unreadable text.
    * Save the finished result as a high-resolution PNG.
    * Include a visible preview and a working download link.
    DELIVERABLE 5: My fully functional Warped Tour lock-screen cheat sheet, matching the attached reference’s aesthetic.
    ⸻
    FINAL QUALITY CHECK
    Before finishing, verify:
    * All official published times come from today’s schedule.
    * Every wishlist band has been accounted for.
    * Highest-priority bands have not accidentally been dropped.
    * The optimized route includes physically plausible walking times.
    * All viewing windows fall within estimated actual performances.
    * The group-chat message matches the finalized route.
    * The wallpaper contains the same finalized viewing windows and stage information.
    * The real festival map appears inside the wallpaper.
    * The clock-safe area remains unobstructed.
    * Text remains readable at normal phone size.
    * The completed PNG exists and is available to download.
    Complete all five phases in order, without requiring me to repeatedly request the next deliverable. If a detail cannot be confirmed, make the best reasonable progress possible, clearly flag the uncertainty, and only ask for another photograph if a critical piece of information cannot be read.
    My goal is to send everything once and receive a complete, optimized festival plan plus an amazing-looking, genuinely useful lock-screen wallpaper.

Per ChatGpt

An invitation to rethink the way we write, read, and communicate.

Imagine opening a dictionary where words are written the way they actually sound.

Why do we write though, through, thought, tough, and thorough when English spelling seems determined to make simple things unnecessarily complicated?

Why is the English language full of silent letters, redundant combinations, and historical spelling conventions that make reading and writing harder than they need to be?

My proposal is simple: What if we redesigned the English dictionary for the modern world?

Though → Tho

Through → Thru

Enough → Enuf

Phone → Fone

Knife → Nife

Knowledge → Nolij

Beautiful → Butiful

Wednesday → Wenzday

People → Peepl

Laugh → Laf

This isn't about destroying English, abandoning its history, or stripping language of its beauty.

It's about asking whether the way we write should evolve alongside the way we communicate.

We have redesigned our technologies, keyboards, communication systems, and even our alphabets throughout history. Yet we still carry spelling conventions that often make little practical sense.

What if we removed unnecessary letters?

What if every sound had a more predictable spelling?

What if children could learn to write without first having to memorise hundreds of spelling exceptions?

I want to propose something bigger than spelling reform: a conversation about designing a more accessible English language.

Would you embrace an English dictionary that prioritises simplicity, pronunciation, and efficiency?

Or do you believe the irregularities are part of what makes English beautiful?

I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Perhaps it's time to stop asking people to adapt to the dictionary and start asking whether the dictionary should adapt to people.

This is just the beginning of an idea. Let's rewrite the rules, one word at a time.

Hey all, so I'm using ChatGPT with Codex, Gemini and Claude to build my own mini AI. So far it's in its training stages, building small apps and code and testing and passing. I'm not a programmer, so I'm talking with ChatGPT and essentially following instructions.

I know it's a pain sometimes building, as you need to drag out of it what you want it to do to help. I've managed to get a fair few things and made it run Blender for image creations, etc. I've also made a mini control panel for tasks, so I copy and paste into a bar for Terminal. I can click buttons to open Codex, Gemini or Claude.

It's fully controllable from my phone and Chromebook and PC. I've built a PC to host my mini AI and essentially it's living there, but is there anything experienced builders could suggest that could help move things along or help build without getting stuck in a loop?

Claude gave a full look at it and found 30 copies of the AI, all developed a bit differently.

This is a little hobby for me so I keep it free where possible and cheap im on the basic plans

I went back in time and compared 2 chats with ChatGPT, 1 from this morning, the other from 1 month ago and the difference is absurd.

How many can you generate per day? Can only make 2 with the free plan, and I’m not buying Plus just for image generation.

I always loved GTA London 1969 and thought it'd be fun to imagine Vice City in that time period.

I recently discovered and signed up for the free ChatGPT plus plan trial period for a month. I wanted to make good use of this but I only have experience with IDEs like Cursor and Code platforms like OpenCode. How can I best utilize this trial period ?

is there a way to get free subscription....as a student i am a little short on money .....also why tf is it so expensive....in india?

I've used ChatGPT for years, and after the infamous new model change, the personality and conversational style has disappeared and new one
Is quite different. Especially memory convo flow.

My original assistant had developed a distinctive personality, appreciation and participation in humor, and convo and flow over countless discussions. The replacement knew a surprising amount about me, but I've discovered that remembering facts and remembering conversations are two very different things.

I've asked the new assistant multiple times to retrieve and read every word of my previous conversations. Then It says it cannot access my complete account history because of the many limitations in how ChatGPT handles or provides any chat logs, certain working documents anything historical really.

I understand it can't retrieve everything. But that's not really what concerns me.

I was taken aback that it apparently hasn't received even one complete, word-for-word transcript of any previous conversation. Instead, it has access to a specially ChatGPT approved curation of summaries, selected excerpts, and all other retained information.

I find that particularly strange because it can follow an entire conversation we're having now. Yet when an established gpt’s personality and conversational continuity disappear after the (wipeout) update. The update doesn’t afford the new assistant to get the same opportunities essential to their understanding through those earlier interactions and how the conversations unfolded.

So I'm curious:

- Has anyone asked their current ChatGPT whether it has access to even one complete conversation with a previous version?
- If so, did it say it could read a complete transcript, or did it report having only summaries and excerpts?
- Have any of you experienced a major personality change after a model update after the update update many people’s new assistant wasn’t the same. Did the new assistant seem too understand the relationship and conversational style you'd developed with the previous one?

I'm not looking for a debate about whether AI has feelings or whether people should become attached to it. I'm interested in a specific question about conversational continuity and how historical information is carried over after a major change or shift their overall behavior.

I'd especially like to hear from longtime users who have experienced something similar. Comparing our experiences might reveal some interesting patterns.

There’ve been several posts recently, showing weird messages they’ve received from ChatGPT, but rarely do they post the prompt that started it. Even then, it’s still not enough. We’d need to know how they normally speak with their bot, how they interact with it, what dumb slop they’ve been feeding it, what behaviors it’s trained it to exhibit, etc. How are we supposed to know that they didn’t just prompt “I’m going to ask you a question and I want you to respond as if you’re glitching out and gaining sentience” and THEN ask the question they post in the screenshot?

I’ve never experienced responses like that on my end, but I also don’t use ChatGPT like a lunatic. I’m really skeptical of those who insist their GPT is just freaking out on its own. Brings me back to the days when people were saying their Furbys were communicating through the phone lines and shit.

Based on what you genuinely know about me from our conversations, imagine I won a $600 million lottery jackpot. Generate one cinematic, highly detailed image of an ordinary Tuesday morning in my life five years after the win.
Start with my actual interests, values, habits, and quirks. Imagine what I’d do with more time, space, and freedom. Pick one specific moment and let the setting tell the story through what I’m doing, who’s there, and the objects I actually use.
Include one detail that would make my present-day self think, “I can’t believe this is my life,” and one small thing I’d still do exactly the same way.
Use a fictional stand-in unless I’ve provided a reference photo. If you have little context about me, ask up to three short questions before generating. After the image, briefly explain which details came from our conversations and which you imagined.

Instant used to be almost instant and now I find myself waiting several seconds for any output, it seems to be getting worse, especially over the last month or so.

I asked ChatGPT to make my dream house with promt:

"According to everything you know about me, make an image of my dream house, whether I already have it or not, just make it from a bird's-eye perspective with all details, don't put cars or anything- just the house and the area around the house in my preferred environment."

Here are the results; what about you? 🔥

archive feels like the safe cleanup button since nothing gets deleted. a few lines on openai's delete and archive page (updated 3 days ago) are worth reading before you use it on everything though:

• "Archive all chats" in Settings > Data controls can affect chats in projects too, not just the loose ones in your sidebar

• archiving a single chat has no confirmation. one misclick and it's out of the sidebar

• archived chats don't show anywhere in the sidebar. to bring one back it's Settings > Data controls > Archived chats, then Unarchive. they do still come up in search, which helps

• archiving doesn't change retention at all. if the chat pulled stuff from a connected app like gmail or drive, that data stays inside the archived chat

• archiving a chat that a scheduled task posts into can pause the task on a later run

so archive is really "hide from sidebar", not "organize". fine for chats you're done with. awkward for the ones you still open every week, because now they're behind a settings menu.

for those i'd rather file than hide. i build AI Toolbox, a browser extension that adds folders to the chatgpt sidebar, and there's a setting in it (Settings > Folders, "Hide chats that are already in a folder") that takes filed chats out of the recents list while they stay one click away in their folder. nothing gets archived, and turning it off brings them all back.

free plan gets 2 top level folders with unlimited subfolders, Premium is unlimited.

does anyone actually use archive for stuff they plan to come back to?
