Great Show and some ChatGPT feedback

15 мая

pqsk

Just wanna say awesome show and also your episode about Google antitrust just bothered me that nobody on the panel knew how to clear the ChatGPT memories. It's in the settings under personalization, manage memories. There you can delete all (or some). Now after doing that, ask ChatGPT again what it knows about you and the answer will be it knows nothing. Now who knows if it truly purges it, but just wanted to share that.
Never thought I would enjoy a Tech show so much

I consider myself knowledgeable about thing happening in the world including technology and social media, but I never considered myself a tech person I added this podcast to my feed more than a year ago and I have found it to be informative. Mikah gives the full picture of technology, mechanics, and implications on humans.
