It's already friday and Portuguese media are still reporting on a cold slice of last week #AI news. This just in: ex-Anthropic employee says AI can kill us all.
No mention of the renewed consensus from OpenAI, Anthropic and xAI. No mention of the official response from China.

It's just a benchmark that tries to offer puzzles that are created from scratch, much like procedural videogames. You can play them yourself in this link.

So I've dropped down from Pro to Plus to get the average #openai Astra coding experience.
Good news: you can always use your phone to tell it to go ahead after it gets interrupted by the 5h limit.
Bad news: you can blow through two 5h limits with a single prompt, no fast mode, GPT 6 High.
