Humans don't "know" facts either.

It's pretty much a trope that coffee has been bad for us one week and then good for us again the next week, ad infinitum.

It would be very amusing to see the world through your eyes.

How exactly do you think science works? Do you think that someone asks a question, and then scientists all get together in a single meeting to answer that question, and then they post the answer and claim it is the full and unquestionable truth?

No, that would be ridiculous. Instead, science is performed by millions of individual scientists, who each seek to understand some particular aspect of reality just a little bit better. They perform discovery, form a hypothesis, test the hypothesis, and then publish their results for the world to review.

There is no illuminati-style organization that coordinates all of the scientists, and their findings, together. Thus, one thousand different studies about various effects of coffee upon human health might be performed, and they might all study slightly different aspects of the topic, or test things in different ways. This in no way implies that the scientific method is flawed, or that "scientists" are just a bunch of goofy mind-changers who can never quite figure out which way is up when it comes to figuring out what science actually means.

This is to be expected for something as complex as science, unless you have an extraordinarily simple mind.

You apparently have no idea about how this feature works, nor does your reading comprehension allow you to figure out that he was being figurative when he claimed that he, as the user, asked OpenAI to delete his data. Nowhere in the product feature workflow does OpenAI ask or tell you that your data is about to be deleted. He even goes so far as to explicitly mention this in the beginning of his blog post.

People may be saying that there's no hard evidence against Bill Gates here, but have you seen the televised interview where he was asked about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein? I have never seen anyone in my life act so shifty in answering a question like that.

All enshittified services now beg for engagement, to make lines go up for investor. This is just the typical progression that one would expect, as our society approaches one or more episodes of Black Mirror.

To be fair, he didn't think that he was testing a "delete" feature.

No, he's right. Maybe try reading TFA again to see if your reading comprehension gets a little better this time around.

Also ChatGPT is still a relatively new product that's still trying to evovle.

Let's also consider that OpenAI only had revenue of $20 billion in 2025. It's unrealistic to expect good software from any company that's not doing at least $500 billion in revenue per year.

Don't be stupid.

Calories in vs. calories out is an overly simplistic model that reflects nothing about how the digestive and metabolic systems actually work.

You do know that the gut is an extremely complex ecosystem, and different configurations of bacteria extract different levels of energy from the same food? You do know that metabolic response can dramatically alter how the body conserves and expends energy, right? You do realize that two different people on the same exact diet can have significant differences in weight loss, weight gain, energy levels, and muscle mass, don't you?

If not, maybe you should keep your simplistic mental models quarantined within your own simple mind.

Wow, if only overweight people had an appetite as big as your level of reading comprehension, no one would be overweight.

That's a nice way to oversimplify a complex issue.

Gut bacteria plays a large and poorly understood factor of weight gain. There are plenty of anecdotes about people whose weight gain patterns changed dramatically after illness or medical treatments like fecal transplants, etc.

I'm glad I don't live in the same bizzaro universe that you do.

Thank you for this breath of fresh air. I'm tired of hearing the simple refrain about "calories in vs. calories out".
