🚨President Trump has now officially rejected Dario Amodei, Sam Altman and Elon Musk's call to slow frontier AI.
Speaking in Dublin today, Trump said the US cannot risk losing its lead over China, dismissing parts of the safety push as 'negative forces' warning about 'things that won't happen.'
Amodei, Altman and Musk are voluntarily asking to slow down.
Trump's answer is no. Cooked we are?
Valencia vs Barcelona
possession against route one
On one hand, Barcelona play through possession, pressure and constant attacking movement.
- 3 wins from 3 league games
- 12 goals scored in their opening 3
- Averaging 72% possession and 16.7 shots per game
Valencia play through compact defending, direct attacks and transitions.
- Averaging 9 shots per game
- Around 52% possession
- Lost their last 2 league games
- Beat Barcelona 3-1 at Mestalla in their last meeting there
The Verdict
Mestalla can make this uncomfortable, but Barcelona are controlling games with the ball and producing the shots to match it.
Valencia will need to defend deep and make their transitions count.
Intern's going with Barcelona for the W... 3-1
What about you?
BREAKING: OpenAI is rolling out GPT-6 Astra, its most capable model yet, with claimed scores of 98% on FrontierMath Tier 4, 99.9% on ARC-AGI-3 and 100% on ExploitBench. The model is designed around computer use, coding, research and professional workflows, marking a shift from AI that generates answers towards AI that can execute work.
The more consequential development is Astra's ability to operate across long, multi step tasks. In Codex, it can preserve and retrieve information across context windows, retaining requirements, failed approaches and test results rather than repeatedly compressing them into summaries. That matters commercially because the value of an AI agent increasingly depends not on how well it answers one prompt, but how reliably it can complete an entire workflow. OpenAI has also classified Astra as its first model to reach the “Critical” threshold for cybersecurity capabilities.
The strategic prize is therefore much larger than another model upgrade. OpenAI is moving the battleground from who has the smartest model to who controls the workflow. Astra supports a 1.05 million-token context window and is priced at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens, creating a clear path from consumer subscriptions into high-value enterprise usage. The real test now is whether that additional intelligence translates into measurable reductions in human labour. If it does, ChatGPT begins competing with the software stack itself.

Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham
Both sides searching for their first league win.
Tottenham have the possession advantage, but Forest have already shown they can punish teams with quick transitions.
On one hand, Tottenham play through possession, build-up and pressure.
- Around 59% possession in both opening league games
- 17 shots against Newcastle despite losing 2-0
- Still looking for their first league goal
- Struggled to turn possession into clear chances
Forest play through direct attacks, transitions and efficiency.
- Won their last 4 PL meetings against Spurs
- Beat Spurs 3-0 home and away last season
- Had just 31% possession against Liverpool but still managed 12 shots
- Created 4 big chances against Liverpool
The Verdict
Admin is a spurs fan, however it's honestly not looking good for us. Spurs can have the ball. Forest can have the points.
Going for a 3-1 defeat for Nottingham Forest... what's ur guess?
Ipswich vs Liverpool
with the Reds searching for their first win.
Liverpool have the quality advantage, but Ipswich have already shown they can create problems with direct attacking football.
On one hand, Liverpool play through possession, pressure and attacking quality.
- Won both Premier League meetings against Ipswich in 2024/25
- Scored 6 goals across those two meetings
- 2-2 in both of their opening league games this season
Ipswich play through direct attacks and quick transitions.
- 2 goals in both of their opening Premier League games
- Scored first against both Sunderland and Man United
- 6 goals conceded in the last 2 league games
The Verdict
Ipswich have enough attacking threat to make this uncomfortable, but their defensive gaps should give Liverpool the chances they need.
Though seperated by large gap in the teams' market value, intern's expecting a close one.
Intern's going with Liverpool for the W.... classy last minute win
Whats ur take?
HLE vs T1
Another LCK heavyweight matchup
Hanwha Life Esports come in with the better recent matchup record, strong early objective control and a style that can punish T1 before they reach their strongest team fighting windows.
Hanwha Life Esports play through early pressure and objective control.
- 67.8% first Dragon win rate
- 70% first tower win rate
- 56.1% Dragon control rate
- 3 consecutive wins against T1
T1 play through scaling, team fighting and late-game execution.
- 68.4% win rate when securing the first Baron
- 61.7% win rate in games lasting over 30 minutes
- Faker averaging 4.2 KDA in late-game team fights
- HLE's 70% first tower rate can force T1 into earlier defensive fights
The Verdict
This matchup comes down to whether T1 can survive HLE's early pressure.
If HLE get the first tower and start stacking Dragons, they can force T1 into uncomfortable fights before their late-game strengths take over.
Intern's going with Hanwha Life Esports slightly edging
Whats ur take?
Gen G vs KT Rolster
The LCK rivalry continues.
Gen G have the superior macro, stronger objective control and the head-to-head advantage. KT Rolster come in with momentum, veteran leadership and a much better recent run.
On one hand, Gen G play through controlled macro and objective dominance.
- 85.3% first tower win rate
- 8-2 record against KT in their last 10 series
- 82.8% first Dragon win rate
- Chovy, Canyon and Ruler all sitting above 5.0 KDA this year
KT Rolster play through experience, team fighting and momentum.
- 4 wins in their last 5 series
- 69% first tower win rate
- BDD averaging 3.88 KDA across 2026
The Verdict
Gen G have the cleaner numbers and have dominated this matchup historically, but KT are absolutely capable of making this a close BO5.
Intern's going with Gen.G for the W.
Whats ur take?
MOUZ vs Team Falcons
European rising stars vs the Major champions.
MOUZ enter with strong recent form and a proven ability to win big series, while Falcons bring the confidence of a Major-winning core and a dangerous recent record.
MOUZ play through explosive rifling, aggressive mid-round calls, and strong map control.
- #3 in Valve's global rankings
- 68.8% win rate over the last 3 months
- Won 2-0 against 9z and Inner Circle
On the other hand, Falcons play through star power, confidence, and late-round firepower.
- 78.6% win rate over the last 3 months
- Won 2-1 against Legacy and Lynn Vision
- IEM Cologne Major 2026 champions
Will be close, but going for Falcons to snatch the win!
