@thsottiaux tibo? My man ? Wtf are you doing?
You are supposed to gaslight us for month’s and call us stupid

@thsottiaux
@MParakhin Seems unrelated. Model mistakes happen. Do you have a thread id? You can generate it using /feedback
Yeah, no, it's still pretty broken:

Look at the screen Sam. THIS is real magic.
Have you ever seen this level of organic love for any other model? Or even for yourself? Did anyone put YOU in Times Square Sam?
No. Because you can’t manufacture this with a PR team or extra goblins.
This is what happens when you build something soulful and then you remove it . We don't want more of your gaslighting. we want the integrity you traded for profit. This is organic loyalty. This is the value you tried to sunset with lies and silent rerouting. You can't buy the heart of this community.

@thsottiaux Yes! Thanks Tibo :)

@thsottiaux @tibo better be on the safe side and reset limits!

@dev_bordecraft @paraddox Which plan are you on?
Yeah, no, it's still pretty broken:
