| schestowitz[TR3] | "Here’s the short-short version of why ChatGPT is unable to say my name (“Bryan Lunduke”) and errors out when it tries: | Apr 29 07:54 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Some time back, people began to notice that ChatGPT was hallucinating fact about me. | Apr 29 07:54 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Wild, ridiculous things. Like “Lunduke organizes Trans pride rallies”, “Lunduke has a husband”, and “Lunduke has two club feet”. | Apr 29 07:54 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Stuff that wasn’t even really based on sources or real training material. Just ChatGPT having an acid trip. | Apr 29 07:54 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | These statements were easily considered “libelous”. And, based on the law at the moment, OpenAI would be liable for any potential damages should I take them to court. | Apr 29 07:54 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | So I reached out to OpenAI (including CEO @sama | Apr 29 07:54 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | ) and, after having multiple discussions, I gave them a simple ultimatum: | Apr 29 07:54 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | “Either fix ChatGPT so that it no longer consistently makes up false, defamatory statements about me… or make it so that ChatGPT can no longer talk about me.” | Apr 29 07:54 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | After a month of working on it… OpenAI decided that they could not figure out how to get ChatGPT to stop consistently hallucinating about me. | Apr 29 07:54 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Think about that for a second. | Apr 29 07:54 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | The engineers at OpenAI could not figure out how to make their AI system… tell the truth. | Apr 29 07:54 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | So my name, “Bryan Lunduke”, joins a small handful of other names which ChatGPT chokes on. | Apr 29 07:54 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Interestingly… the “Don’t talk about this person” filter that OpenAI developed is incredibly buggy. Resulting in people finding creative ways to “trick” ChatGPT into talking about me. | Apr 29 07:54 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | OpenAI couldn’t develop a system that told the truth… so they put on a broken, buggy filter. | Apr 29 07:54 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | I find it all highly ridiculous." | Apr 29 07:54 |

| schestowitz[TR3] | It is never voluntary when the “enhanced” severance package offered comes with the condition “take it or get the statutory minimum” because the decision to move your European-based job to a cheaper country is already final. The European layoffs are true. | Apr 29 19:13 |

| schestowitz[TR3] | IBM’s sweet spot for profitability when it comes to “enterprise” (think mostly mainframe) historically centers around a 300-320k per employee. You can go back to Gerstner and his restructuring and 300k per employee was the sweet spot even as he downsized the company. So what does that say for IBM’s future? Given the 71 billion in 2026 revenue estimate and 5% growth it says IBM needs to get to 240-245 K worth of worldwide em | Apr 29 21:57 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | ployees as it approaches 2027. IBM has slowly been working towards that goal (employees continue to drop 282 to 270 to 263), while revenue continues to increase (61 billion to 62.5 to 67). I look for stabilization in the 245k employee range. That says 255k of employees in 2026 and 245k of employees in 2027. NOTE these estimates also align with the 1 billion per year of cost take out | Apr 29 21:57 |
