People are claiming teleop, but I really don't think a human would be this insistent to get a package they clearly can't reach.

Also the movement doesn't look human to me at all, what human is trying to reach for something far away with one arm while keeping the other one completely still (outside of body movement, but the elbow angle doesn't change).

I think people are in denial and really want to believe this is a guy in India controlling it because they're not ready for the day that humanoids take off like the automobile or the iPhone because it's potentially the most disruptive technology we've seen.

EDIT

People in this subreddit: "It's actually teleoperated!"

After showing them it's not: "This is actually shit and not good. Not even AGI, looks like dated tech."

Agree that it's not AGI yet but hear me out. Pretty inconsistent to believe the movements look human enough to imply teleoperation but then believe that this is something we could do 10 years ago.

You have to understand that robots of the 2010s could not generalize beyond a basic task or set of tasks. It is embarrassing this has to be explained. There is no precedent for technology that generates actions from pixels and prompts in real time.

A couple years ago we were limited to text based intelligence with limited image understanding. It couldn't do *anything* in the real world which is why a lot of critics claimed it wasn't close to being AGI. You are literally watching the birth of physical AI and don't care even a little bit. Maybe it is cope, maybe it is a stunning lack of curiosity, but it seems uncharacteristic of anyone who willingly comes to a subreddit called "singularity."

GPT-images v2 is a much older model than GPT-5.5

Ask it to make an image of the most recent important world events it can remember without using search. The latest it has any memory of is May 2024.

Meanwhile, 5.5's knowledge cutoff is December 2025.

What I mean to say is that text LLM releases are lagging behind internal lab capabilities by around half a year or less. Omnimodal capabilities are lagging behind on the scale of 1-2 years. There is little competition on that front and little urgency to rapidly improve it like coding.

Even Sora got shut down because it was just eating too much compute. I know there's a voice upgrade in the cards and images v2 is an extremely capable model, but still, it is very apparent that omnimodality takes a huge backseat in ChatGPT. I still want a model that can seamlessly switch from text to voice to images like the original 4o promise. A voice mode that can talk while giving visual explanations. A text model that can create sounds and music on the fly for creative exploration. A video/voice model that can actually reliably walk me through a home installation or repair. I still want *that*.

Sam is doing non-stop voice mode hype 2 years after 4o failed to deliver "Her"

I *want* to be excited but the original 4o voice was so good and they killed it :( now it just talks in HR speak, won't sing, won't do accents, and is so dumb it can't tell up from down. Let's hope I am wrong, haven't seen Sam hyping this much in a while.

For context I've lived at this place for almost 5 years now. Upstairs noise was never a problem for me.

But two things are happening, possibly simultaneously. My upstairs neighbor noise has been getting outrageous, steps are felt and not just heard, and the ceiling makes creak and crack sounds as he walks. I've left two notes since about November to politely ask that he try to walk gently, not wear shoes in the house, and so on. Anyways, it seems like steps somewhat recently have gotten a little quieter, pointing to behavior changes or a new tenant.

But what hasn't changed it the creaking. I feel like it happens when he walks near this central area of the unit where the cracks are forming. A bit of context, I never had creaking before maybe October, so that's 4+ years without it. And also, the cracks are worsening with time. I've seen people in this sub say to just blast a fan, but I always do that to no avail, the sound endlessly distracts me and drives me crazy over the fan. I can't have peace and quiet and this shit used to even wake me up many days a week (he gets up around 5 in the morning).

Is this a maintenance issue? 9 of 11 year old "luxury" complex based on two differing dates. Worsening creaking, worsening cracks, does that present as a maintenance issue? The thing is I've been trying since October, I can't get used to this sound. Management would likely just paint over the cracks but I think there could be more actual structural degradation at play that my neighbor can't control at all. In here until at least June 2027 and really wish I had a top floor unit.

Incredible infuriating thing that keeps happening over and over is that ChatGPT raises some sort of network error, then I click retry, and it just destroys my prompt and input files.

I checked my network and I'm at over 300 upload and 300 download. I checked if there's an outage, and none exists.

This has been happening on and off since the release of 5.5 thinking. I used to post 10 or fewer images of my homework, as it to transcribe, then afterwards look for errors. Now it can no longer do this anymore because it errors everytime. I pay $100 for pro, and now there's not even a thumbs down button to report bugs! No idea what to do, but this is horrible. Slowing me down massively when I need to move fast.

I have had this 4090 R15 since 2023. Never any problems, beautiful system and beautiful performance (despite a lot of people bashing the cooling system at the time and telling me I made a mistake). Still haven't run into issues with it.

Anyways, I always felt a little *meh* about spending the 200 something dollars to get premium support, because that's a lot of money to be spending every year. But also, I got this PC for like $2500 with aggressive deals they used to run back then (those days are over sadly). I knew if I ran into problems that fixing it would be outrageously expensive. And so I sucked it up and kept paying that $200 every year.

Well I have been connecting my PC to my TV via HDMI (because my LG C5 only has HDMI) to do some couch gaming. A month or so ago I started noticing the screen would go black or staticky sometimes. Not an issue, I thought, it's just the cord. I bought a new cord and surprisingly that somehow fixed it (surprising given what I know now).

Fast forward to today and this new cord craps itself too. I bought it like 3 weeks ago and so I thought there's no way a cord fails in 3 weeks. Turns out my HDMI port has broken pins inside. The hardware is physically broken. Not a big deal though, right? Well no, it's a big deal. Turns out the HDMI port is built into the graphics cards. Meaning the only way to fix the issue is to replace the card itself.

My failed HDMI port, under today's market conditions, is $2000-$2800 to fix on parts alone. More if I was going to have someone else fix it for me. Instead I can just have a technician come to my house and do it for free. This is not an ad for Alienware and I'm obviously not telling you to buy insurance for your stuff. But, man, when you need it, you're really glad to have it. A prebuilt from any other company or a self built system with these specs would've cost more and I'd be out of luck for issues occurring 2.5 years after purchase. 

Haven't gotten confirmation they're replacing it yet, but my plan covers all damage including accidental and replacement is the only way to fix the port. So now it's just a matter of going back and forth with customer service until they agree to send someone out.
