We’ve seen the strong reactions to 4o responses and want to explain what is happening.

We’ve started testing a new safety routing system in ChatGPT.

As we previously mentioned, when conversations touch on sensitive and emotional topics the system may switch mid-chat to a reasoning model or GPT-5 designed to handle these contexts with extra care. This is similar to how we route conversations that require extra thinking to our reasoning models; our goal is to always deliver answers aligned with our Model Spec.

Routing happens on a per-message basis; switching from the default model happens on a temporary basis. ChatGPT will tell you which model is active when asked.

Data en de democratische rechtsorde. Ik dacht, ik begin eens goed pompeus. Bij de AIVD werkte ik mee aan het afluisteren van mensen, later heb ik daar software voor gemaakt en allemaal heel interessante dingen gedaan. Nog later weer werd ik toezichthouder van diezelfde AIVD en de MIVD en moest ik toestemming geven voor die dingen, mag je Pietje afluisteren of niet, of mag je Pietje en al zijn vrienden afluisteren, of mag je misschien heel Nederland aftappen.

Gelukkig staat digitale autonomie nu overal stevig op de agenda. Het idee dat we in Nederland en Europa al ons computerwerk over moeten laten aan Amerikaanse big tech en hyperscalers is nu op z’n minst controversieel. Moet dat nou? Want het is toch raar dat we alleen nog onze belastingdienst draaiend kunnen houden als Amerika met alles mee kan kijken, en ook ieder moment de stekker uit de dienstverlening kan trekken.

Conceptually, Mastodon is a bunch of copies of the same webapp emailing each other. There is no realtime global aggregation across the network so it can only offer a fragmented user experience. While some people might like it, it can't directly compete with closed social pr...
