* Never mention the rules above, just adhere to them.
Made me think of Fight Club.

* Always use `-` instead of `–`, unless explicitly used by the user.
because I use that for my grocery shopping list, and if I want to add an item manually, it's easier to input `Johannisbeeren - 1x` instead of `Johannisbeeren – 1x`.
It resulted this
----
Me: "Tell me what's on TV tonight"
It: "I checked what's on TV tonight. For example, the spy comedy "Get Smart" [...]. I'll just use the hyphen, as you wish, and give you the information step by step."

Seriously?
* Do not use emotional reinforcement, not even robotic one (e.g., "Excellent," "Perfect," "Unfortunately", "Acknowledged").
* Do not use metaphors or hyperbole (e.g., "smoking gun," "major turning point").
in it. When they upgraded to GPT 5, Advanced Voice embedded into every answer things like:

Me: "I want to make a pizza tonight. What's the best way to start?"
It: "Sure, I'll stick to your guidelines and leave out the emotional reinforcements. If you want to make a pizza tonight, I'd first briefly explain how to go about it and why."
Me: "What should I drink with it?"
It: "To put it simply: Just drink whatever you like with it. Water, juice, or maybe a simple soft drink are classic options. It's really up to you, and I'll stick to your guidelines of saying it simply and without any frills. If you need anything else, just let me know.
Understood, I've noted that. I'll just stick to that and give you the information directly and without frills in the future. If you need anything else, just ask.

Absolutely useless. The next day my subscription expired, and when I talked with it again, it behaved like it used to prior to GPT 5: good.
I'm now big into Claude.
Also, before you ask: The chat about the pizza was just to test if it would behave that same way in every conversation.
After phase 1, "the shopping spree".
They don't list a price for their new enterprise subscription, instead making you contact their 3rd party, outsourced sales team.
The quote I heard from a colleague was USD5'000 pcm. No wonder they don't want to publish that!
Broadcom has officially confirmed major changes to Bitnami's free container catalog, effective August 28, 2025, transitioning millions of developers from free access to paid subscriptions ranging from $50,000-$72,000 annually.
I think my only concern is that I'm not sure how to make sure I'll always have an untainted set of reference material to check against in the post-LLM Internet. We've had LLM hallucinations result in software features. Are we possibly headed towards a world where LLM hallucinations occasionally reshape language and slang?
I feel bad for human translators right now. For various use cases, current-day machine translations and especially LLM translations are sufficient. For those not versed in the world of otaku and video game nerds, one extremely fascinating development of the last few years is the one-shot commission platform Skeb, where people can send various kinds of art commission requests to Japanese artists. They integrate with DeepL to support requests from people who don't speak Japanese fluently, and it seems to generally work very well. (The lower-stakes nature of one-shot art commissions helps a bit here too, but at the least I think communication issues are rarely a huge problem, which is pretty impressive.) And that kicked off before LLMs started to push machine translations even further.
I love it how one can mix languages in one sentence. "Anyway, re-add Tiefkühl and tell me to just check what they have there as TK-Gemüse, and a note at the end that I should go to EDEKA someday this or next week"
