   The bullshit machinery is going full blast lately, the correct title: researcher uses Astra to decipher a message nobody really bothered or cared to decrypt.

   Is ClosedAI running out of money or what is going on?

      The constant goalpost moving is insane. This is objectively an amazing result.

         Is it? Personally I only found the story interesting because of the contents of the message, not because GPT-6 Math Scoopa was the one to stand on everyone else's shoulders and get its grubby little fingers into the cookie jar. Computer does thing that computers should ostensibly be good at is a middling goalpost – what's more intriguing is the implication that the model might have stolen private info or scooped someone else to get there once again.

            Yes! All science and research that relies on prior research is FAKE.

            That’s why I’m trying to make a better shoelace but first I have to develop arithmetic and shoes.
