Treetops in Newtown ❤️

this substack from a week ago paint a grim tale for OpenAI that partly explains the increased price of GPT-5.2

a big part: they rely on external providers like MS & Google for datacenters and that’s inherent risky & expensive

Maybe b/c I’m in Australia but ChatGPT has been bugging out all day for me. My first thought was “5.2 must be dropping soon” 😅

An airplane taking off from the airport flew across the crescent Moon at just the right moment for this shot!

The worst part about being a casual / spontaneous gamer (maybe once a month) is having to sit through all of the console and game updates every single time you sit down to play. By the time they’re finished, the random urge to play is almost gone.

Weekend project these past couple weeks has been restoring this 90s Scott Montana. Just rode it through the soggy streets of Melbourne today, lots of fun!

They also refunded me for some bullshit stock library they signed me up to without my permission. (Apparently I failed to opt out to some extra bullshit during the sign up process). So I guess they know their behaviour is shitty they just hope people can’t be bothered to complain.

Adobe has multiple class actions against them due to dishonest cancellation fees. I went through this a couple years back. Got on to a support person and kept telling them to drop the fees or I’d make a complaint to ACCC. Eventually they dropped the fee but it took a lot of back and forth.
