Reddit's r/sysadmin mods have chosen NOT to participate in the blackout (www.reddit.com)

No, we will not be going dark. The reasons are simple:

This form of protest has proven ineffective on reddit repeatedly.

Shutting down the sub on a Monday will have an adverse impact on our readers, including possible production issues.

We have avoided reddit "politics" intentionally and will continue to do so.

You are more than welcome to avoid participating on that day which will make the message far clearer to reddit through their metrics than shutting down the sub to folks in need who would be here anyways.

It's disappointing to see the r/sysadmin mods take this stance, but I guess in a way it's a good thing that they've shown their true colors.

Here's hoping that c/sysadmin thrives and replaces it in the near future as the go-to place for all sysadmin stuff.

I use ChatGPT premium GPT-4 connected to bing, almost exclusively in place now, obviously there is no community discussion but the answer I can get out of it have helped me quite a bit, and I’m an engineering manager

Can you explain - is this using Bing, or is there some setting in ChatGPT premium I'm unaware of? I am planning to try https://labs.kagi.com/fastgpt some also, but it's not the same exactly.

Premium subscribers for ChatGPT now have GPT-4 that can search the web, I find it really good and more accurate than it was previously, I just used it to write a whole load of technical documentation for me on a niche application I use in work. I gave it a template layout I wanted and asked it to write the document, previously it was hallucinating incorrect paragraphs on how to use the the product as it didn’t have up to date data, now it does as it performs a web function.

I don’t like Bing really, the answers are too brief.

To add, I’m in the UK so the feature may be geographical right now. You can see it in a drop down box when you choose GPT-4 towards the top of the screen.

Oh that's a good review, I've been meaning to subscribe to it for a while but have gotten busy. Thanks for the recommendation!
