The weird thing is that he seems to be thinking before he answers. What's up with that??
"OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra model autonomously completes Portal in 24 hours — feat cost just $571 in tokens".
What's Portal, you ask,and I reply: For shame! And you call yourself a nerd?? Portal is arguably the most perfect video game of all time, that's all.

I have a question for Trump: When leveling Iran's civilian infrastructure doesn't remove the Iranian regime...

I have resigned as the honorary secretary of the Oxford Literary Debating & Union Trust, the charity that owns the @OxfordUnion’s buildings, and dispenses its charitable responsibilities onto the Union as its delegate.

Yay! If there's any one person on this planet I trust to correct and complete the entire corpus of human knowledge, it's you, @elonmusk !
And is Grok going to do this only using video info? I sure hope so!!!

President Cancel My Cancellation has cancelled his profoundly stupid cancellation of student visas.
Unfortunately, cancelling a cancellation still leaves a mark.
