Are you implying soundwaves are dangerous?

Is it not a good thing that these folks could do something more productive in the private sector?

Just on your Fusion example alone: https://techcrunch.com/2025/12/31/every-fusion-startup-that-...

Wouldn't it be better if companies like these had a larger pool of PhDs to pull from?

Private sector does some things better, see Rocket Lab, Blue Origin, SpaceX, et al.

This _is_ a good thing.

I also received undefined.

I replaced undefined with trading.snagra.com and I see a success confirmation message

This is absolutely correct. I'm considering removing that part of my pre-prompt because it's flaky and loses context when the conversation falls out of the window.

I find myself restarting conversations a lot as they get too long.

It would be very useful to me if I could have something like a conversation context tree where I could branch off various threads in order to maintain the "main context trunk" of a conversation but on a new branch. This would allow you to have "sidebar" conversations that veer off topic.

When this happens in the ChatGPT UI I tend to scroll all the way back up to the input which steered the conversation (in a different but useful direction), I then edit that input which lobs off the off-topic branch and continues from the main context trunk.
