Just today, 5.6-sol refused to elaborate on a security vulnerability it claimed it had identified in my code. It could plainly see the git history with my name on every commit going back to inception, but apparently elaborating on the nature of a purported vulnerability is too scary for openai.

It would fix it for me, automatically, if I was willing to let it run amok in my codebase. But asking if the "vuln" was exploitable triggered the guardrails and a "we can't show you this content" error because I am not part of the cybersecurty Trusted Access bullshit.



I had 5.6 refuse to back up my android tablet the other day because it involved root access.

Outstanding technology, truly amazing what man has managed to create.


I have heard AI can already fly (it carries your laptop to the ceiling when it does), but usually it refuses to demonstrate this capability for safety reasons.


I've heard it can ramp the fans up so hard it'll suck the gold right off your motherboard traces and send it to OpenAI. This is the thing that the US administration is worried about, because Chinese open weights models will copy the function and then send all that gold to China, and the US will have to dip into the stores at Fort Knox, and potentially devalue the greenback.


Could you ask it to write a failing test before fixing it?


I could also ask it to fix it and look at the diff, but that's rather beside the point, don't you think?


Oh totally, it’s pretty silly.
