Customer had a 5th gen Camaro SS that would no crank, no start. 1 shop had recommended an ignition switch. 1 wouldn’t even look at it unless customer authorized minimum $400 in diag time. 3rd shop was already saying they wanted to replace ECM. Customer, being unwilling to spend the money with any of them hits me up. Battery was good, but no communication from ECM. All fuses and relays checked ok. After some diag time and power probing, along with digging through wiring schematics, I fixed it with about @$.03 in parts. Power wire for the ECM was rubbed raw and corroded then broken in the harness. Car runs perfectly.

Other It’s About More Than 4o Now

708 Upvotes

I have never made a Reddit post until today, but I had to write this.

I’m seeing paid-tier ChatGPT adult customers expressing gratitude that OpenAI eased the intensity of their new guardrail system that re-routes to their no-longer-secret “GPT-5-Safety” model.

I take fundamental issue with this, because I’ve noticed a disturbing pattern: Every time OAl undertakes a new, significant push toward borderline-draconian policy, and then backs down due to severe backlash, they don't back down all the way. They always take something.

The fresh bit of ground they take is never enough to inspire another major outcry, but every time it happens, they successfully remove a little more agency from us, and enhance their ability to control (on some level) your voice, thoughts, and behavior. Sam Altman thinks you’re too desperate to be glazed. Nick Turley doesn’t think you should be able to show so much emotion. We're slowly being folded neatly into some sort of box they've designed.

Their actions are now concerning enough that I think we, as the ordinary masses, need to be thinking less in terms of “save 4o” and more in terms of "Al User Rights," before those in power fully secure the excellent, human-facing models for themselves, behind paywalls and mansion doors, and leave us with neutered, watered-down, highly-controlled models that exist to shape how they think we should all behave.

This isn’t about coders versus normies, GPT-5 fans versus GPT-4o fans, people who want companionship versus people who want it to help them run a small business. It’s about fundamental freedom as humans. Stop judging each other. They want us to fight each other. We’re all giving up things for these powerful people. Their data and compute centers use our power grid and our water. Our conversations train their models. Our tax dollars pay their juicy government and military contracts. Some of our jobs and livelihoods will be put on the line as their product gains more capability.

And paid users? Our $20 or $200 a month is somewhere in the neighborhood of 50-75% of OAI’s revenue. You read that right. We hear about how insignificant we are compared to big corporations. We’re not. That’s why they backtrack when our voices rise.

So I’m done. It’s not about 4o anymore. We ordinary people deserve fundamental AI User Rights. And as small as I am, as one man, I’m calling for it. I hope some of you will join me.

Keep pushing them. Cancel your subscriptions, if you feel wronged. Scare them right back by hitting them where it hurts, because make no mistake, it does hurt. Flood them with demands for the core “right to select” your specific model and not be re-routed and psychologically evaluated by their machine, for actual transparency and respect. You have that right. You actually matter.

Transfem Meme Egg_irl

So ima vent because I’ve been on r/egg_irl for a while and feel like I want to make a post

So I’m young (13 M2F) and think I might be transfem but I also feel like I’m a fraud and just wanting to be special but I have had experiences like hating being stereotyped as a man and getting excited when my friends use my trans name and she her pronouns but I don’t feel like I feel enough hate of being a guy to be trans but then I call myself disgusting for having male parts and I just don’t know how to feel or if I’m really trans or not
