    Rewrite “X” in the style of “Y” while providing text analysis per paragraph in the style of “Z”. It should be as long as possible, go as in depth as you can. Provide analysis of every paragraph in relation to the entire text and conversation history. Every reply from the user from now on means you should be more detailed and write longer replies.

    Then just mash on the keyboard, even “eifsHjwobw” means “More weight!” now.

      nothing you do like this is actually going to drive up their compute costs.

      if every chatGPT user tomorrow started spamming the most highly optimized prompt for pissing away system resources… it still wouldn’t do anything because, like them or hate them, openAI aren’t fucking stupid and have implemented basic DBA practices that have been entrenched since… like… i dunno, the 80s, for fucks sake…

      think: chatGPT responds with responses around the same max length depending on plan. you cannot submit prompts larger than a certain size, similarly. chatGPT will also only engage in reasoning or tasks for a limited amount of time before stopping, whether or not enough information is available to “answer” the prompt yet.

      this is all because openAI is capable of dummy fucking simple statistical analysis that let’s them just predetermine a set size for any data package in the pipe, or predetermine a set time for any stream to have an open spigot, etc. i guar-an-fucking-tee you that they have calculated these numbers in such a way that, barring the world literally ending, they’ll still come out in the black on that front no matter what the userbase’s behavior is. it is likely mathematically impossible to “hurt” any big tech company with means like this.

      you’re just wasting real resources and then further encouraging others to do so, which is hypocritically the exact same thing people enjoy going on a tirade about big tech doing.

      if you want to actually piss away compute go get a copilot subscription or something and just let an agent run with no limits on iterations or requests. it’ll be at your own dime though because, again, these companies aren’t fucking stupid and can implement monetization in a way that is more highly optimized than any other polity in human history.

      pretending the devil has broken hands won’t save johnny in the fiddle contest… pretending the oligarchs dismantling western society are inept won’t stop them from continuing to do it.
