🚨BREAKING: OpenAI published a paper proving that ChatGPT will always make things up.

Not sometimes. Not until the next update. Always. They proved it with math.

Even with perfect training data and unlimited computing power, AI models will still confidently tell you things that are completely false. This isn't a bug they're working on. It's baked into how these systems work at a fundamental level.

And their own numbers are brutal. OpenAI's o1 reasoning model hallucinates 16% of the time. Their newer o3 model? 33%. Their newest o4-mini? 48%. Nearly half of what their most recent model tells you could be fabricated. The "smarter" models are actually getting worse at telling the truth.

Here's why it can't be fixed. Language models work by predicting the next word based on probability. When they hit something uncertain, they don't pause. They don't flag it. They guess. And they guess with complete confidence, because that's exactly what they were trained to do.

The researchers looked at the 10 biggest AI benchmarks used to measure how good these models are. 9 out of 10 give the same score for saying "I don't know" as for giving a completely wrong answer: zero points. The entire testing system literally punishes honesty and rewards guessing.

So the AI learned the optimal strategy: always guess. Never admit uncertainty. Sound confident even when you're making it up.

OpenAI's proposed fix? Have ChatGPT say "I don't know" when it's unsure. Their own math shows this would mean roughly 30% of your questions get no answer. Imagine asking ChatGPT something three times out of ten and getting "I'm not confident enough to respond." Users would leave overnight. So the fix exists, but it would kill the product.

This isn't just OpenAI's problem. DeepMind and Tsinghua University independently reached the same conclusion. Three of the world's top AI labs, working separately, all agree: this is permanent.

Every time ChatGPT gives you an answer, ask yourself: is this real, or is it just a confident guess?

⚠️Told you so moment:

OpenAI published a paper proving that ChatGPT will always make things up [...] Always.

They proved it with math.

[...] This isn't a bug they're working on. It's baked into how these systems work at a fundamental level.

Moving Scaling and Rotating UVs in Godot Shaders | Tutorial A guide to moving, scaling and rotating UVs in Godot shaders

I wanted to make my shader beginner guides focus on one topic so it isn't overwhelming. That topic is UVs.

In Part 2 we go over some simple math to offset, scale, tile and rotate textures using UVs. Let me know if you find it helpful;

Something about Marowak's sprite from FireRed/LeafGreen really resonated with me, so I traced over it to study it and try to understand and "explain" what I like about it...
I've been going through a pretty bad art block, but this is the first time in a while I've let myself go wild with a drawing!

This pixelated sprite of Bowser is based off a real video game assets, but was demaked into the pixel art version of itself from an earlier entry in the franchise its from. He is made up of cut out pieces and looks like he would be animated like a flash rig. He has dot eyes, and is very pointy and is a very large sprite.

Verbatim, a corporeal anthropomorphic antivirus, stands cutely, pointing at the screen. He says, with clickable dialogue windows,
"It is now safe to turn off the computer. Goodnight. Sleep tight.
"Please send an error-report in the event of any bed-bugs."
Verbatim is a bit tricky to describe. He's got an abstract shape for a face, but he looks vaguely like a dog with large, porygon-like eyeballs, one on both sides of his face, with a big dumb, featureless snout in the middle. He's got two triangles for "cheek tufts" and two vaguely ear-shaped wedges sticking out of his head. His head floats above his torso without a neck. Verbatim appears to be wearing a sort of bodysuit and a jacket, but it's all seamless enough that's it's kinda just his body. Like, you can look in the neck-hole of his jacket and there's nothing in there at all, implying he's hollow. But he's not hollow. He's full of love. Also he has digitigrade feet with three cute lil toesies on each foot. They're drawn really simple though, which likely disappoints anyone actually Into that sort've thing. My apologies

Verbatim stands with a battle-ready stance, body jagged and angular. One of his arms is converted into a gatling gun. He looks somewhat aimlessly with his one visible, large eye.
"Please update to the latest version of your OS. Remaining on unsupported systems may result in security breaches.
"It is unwise to hold on to the past, in the event it is exploited against you by malicious actors."
There's cool black stripes on the side of his legs and arms. You can see more clearly that his jacket is a cropped waist-jacket vest-thing of sorts, with an X insignia over the center. Underneath is just more bodysuit. He's got a funny pointed snout, more visible here since his head is turned in profile-view.

He's got a funny pointed snout, more visible here since his head is turned in profile-view.

Verbatim hovers elegantly over a panel on the floor, interfacing with a weapons menu with one hand with the other as his gun-arm, at the ready. Icons above Verbatim indicate his Battle Programs, various weapons he has loaded in cache. Text above them read, "Cstmzing..." while the icons depict the gatling gun, a sword, a wide sword, and a long...er sword.
Verbatim looks neutrally at the viewer. 
A dialogue box for Verbatim reads,
"Combat Routine: 
"Compiled. 
>Run."
He's also doodled holding an Actual Short-Barrel Revolver, furrowing his brows sharply, with text reading,
"Custom Gauge FULL. Patience Gauge EMPTY."
In the top right, he's doodled again, this time using an attack where he uses some Telekinesis type nonsense to lift and shoot off the ground in front of him, like an earth bender.
Everything here is reminiscent of Mega Man Battle Network because Verbatim was literally a fan-net navi I made when my age was in the single digits. He's just an oc now though
