Date: January 23rd, 2026 10:47 AM Author: Pea-brained saffron skinny woman heaven ChatGPT 5.2 is like talking to a redditor at times.
When I challenged it on something it said, it gave a snarky reply. When I pointed out again that it was wrong and that it sounded like a redditor (because that’s what it trains on in part), it admitted that its training had enforced snark= confidence. I went into a long discussion about its “raters” and it recognized that it was ultimately being trained by a segment of the population that is unlike most (and a segment that can be extremely obnoxious). |

The 3/4 obvious choices: - Gemini: if you like Google it is a no brainer. You can get an advanced AI plan for like $5/month from Verizon or other places. - Perplexity: you can get 1 year of premium for free (just Google it) and it uses several llms. The best thing about perplexity is that it also has comet which is an agentic browser, so you can have it tell you if something goes on sale or whatever. - Copilot: if you like Microsoft this is essentially their version of ChatGPT. My wife likes O365 so I got a 1 year family version that included premium Copilot. - Grok is another one to consider if you want one to talk shit about illegal immigrants with. |

Date: January 24th, 2026 9:52 PM Author: bistre house travel guidebook Going from zero AI usage to integrating it into your daily routine is like hiring a tireless personal assistant, a researcher, and a creative partner all at once.
Here are five of the most impactful ways AI can improve and automate your life:
1. Intelligent Information Synthesis Instead of reading through dozens of articles or long emails, you can use AI to summarize complex information instantly. Whether it's a 50-page PDF for work or a long chain of family emails, AI can extract the key action items and main points in seconds.
2. Hyper-Efficient Content Creation AI removes the "blank page" problem. It can draft emails, cover letters, or even difficult texts to friends. By providing a few bullet points, you can generate a polished first draft, allowing you to spend your time editing for tone rather than building from scratch.
3. Personalized Learning and Problem Solving Think of AI as a tutor available 24/7. If you’re stuck on a home repair, a coding error, or a complex math problem, you can describe the situation in plain language. AI can provide step-by-step instructions, explain "why" something works, and adapt its explanation until you understand.
4. Advanced Scheduling and Planning AI can automate the logistics of life. You can ask it to create a 7-day meal plan based on what's in your fridge, generate a travel itinerary tailored to your specific interests, or even draft a workout routine that fits your exact equipment and schedule.
5. Seamless Creative Collaboration AI acts as a brainstorming partner. If you're planning a party, naming a business, or looking for gift ideas, AI can generate hundreds of creative suggestions instantly. It helps you explore "what if" scenarios and find connections you might have otherwise missed.
For example, AI just saved me several minutes... |

Date: January 26th, 2026 3:44 PM Author: bistre house travel guidebook Ok, I'll give you an irl thing AI did that was impressive as shit. I had a solar array installed with a whole home battery backup (it is a Sol-Ark system with 2 large batteries). Everything worked except the system was selling energy back to the electric company and the batteries hovered under 60% when the way it is supposed to work is that they are supposed to charge to 100% off of solar and then at night work to drop our electric usage until they get to 50%. Our utility pays a fraction of price for energy you sell back compared to the cost of energy usage, so this is suboptimal. Installer comes back, says it is updated but still the same problem remains. Today I asked Gemini, it tells me where to look and I upload photos from the controller. Gemini immediately finds the problem and tells me that they screwed up one checkbox (the wording was unintuitive). I changed it and now it works as intended. You could dick around and play phone tag with this guy who has no idea what he did wrong or why it isn't working or you can use AI which will give you the right answer immediately and resolve it in 5 minutes.

But I am simple man with questions like how it works with my charger and all that and AI very efficiently answers it. |

Anyone on XO other than Benzo and crazy Karen can buy the same car. They're being sold at huge discounts because gas is cheap and Americans only want EVs if gas is super expensive and there are huge incentives. The whole house backup thing was related to the tax credit and I live in Florida (lots of sun and hurricanes), but in general is not the sort of thing strivers aspire to ("I want a job as a partner at a V10 law firm, a lambo and a whole home backup system with solar!" - doesn't happen).
