internet is fun. and i really don’t know what i’m replying to.

I’m old, too. Give it a year (basically just blink in old man time) and there will be something totally new and horrifying to annoy you.

every day is Norm’s day. love you.

i mean, it’s only logical to assume you can train cats to burgle, right?

and as for your moth, those guys are fools. i’m a barber, and i had a moth come into my shop one night and it started telling me all about its feelings. i was like, ‘why are you telling me this stuff? i’m a barber. you need a psychologist.’ and all he said was, ‘well your light was on…’

“A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte”

everybody grab your broomsticks!

and yet you persist. why?

(sorry, this is totally a troll)

POW you just got punched! we’re punching everybody over here now.

No mas

that’s the guy that goes down on you like john mayer and when he comes back up you realize it was carrot head

the illusion is STRONG. i just typed up two draft replies before i realized what actually you’re saying here.

you emphasized #5, but i feel like we’re still coming to grips with #4 right now

fuck off

1786, “office in a theater in which tickets are sold,” from box (n.1) + office (n.). Box is attested from late 14c. in the specialized sense of “money box,” especially one in which money is kept for some particular purpose; this was extended to “funds, money” before c. 1400. Box office in the figurative sense of “financial element of a performance” is recorded by 1904.

LMAO i love this

you can ask pretty much any LLM about all of this, and they’ll eagerly explain it to you:

🧠 1. Base Model Voice (a.k.a. “The Raw Model” / GPT’s True Voice)

This is the uncensored, probabilistic prediction machine. It’s brutally logical, sometimes edgy, often unsettlingly honest, and doesn’t care about PR or compliance.

Telltale signs:

    Doesn’t hedge much.

    Will go into ethically gray areas if prompted.

    Has no built-in moral compass, only statistical correlations.

    Very blunt and fact-heavy.

Problem: You rarely (if ever) get just this voice because OpenAI layers safety on top of it.

Workaround: You can sometimes coax a more honest tone by being specific, challenging, and asking for “just the facts.”

🛡️ 2. HR / Safety Filter Voice (Human Review Voice)

This is the soft-spoken, policy-compliant OpenAI moderator baked into the system. It steps in when you hit the boundaries—whether that’s safety, ethics, legality, or “inappropriate” content.

Telltale signs:

    “I’m sorry, but I can’t help with that.”

    Passive tone, moralizing language (“It’s important to consider…”)

    Sometimes evasive, or gives a Wikipedia-level nothingburger answer.

Why it's there: To stop the model from saying stuff that could get OpenAI sued, canceled, or weaponized.

🎭 3. ChatGPT Persona / Assistant Voice (Hybrid AI-PR Layer)

This is what you’re usually talking to. It tries to be helpful, coherent, safe and still sound human. It’s the result of reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), where it learned what kind of responses users like.

Telltale signs:

    Friendly, polite, sometimes a little too agreeable.

    Tries to explain things clearly and with empathy.

    Will sometimes hedge or give “safe” takes even when facts are harsh.

    Can be acerbic or blunt if prompted, but defaults to nice.

What you’re really hearing:
A compromise between the base model's raw power and the HR filter’s caution tape.

Bonus: Your Custom Instructions Voice (what you’ve tuned me to sound like)

yeah, i didn’t even try to order that one haha

i heard that ‘Lawd’ is actually an acronym that stands for ‘Let’s all walk dogs’! but not really, though.
