Oh, Joy. Another OpenAI Thing.

Right, so apparently Sam Altman and his crew are having a “DevDay” on November 18th. Because developers *need* more things to obsess over. Basically, they’re promising updates to GPT models – surprise, surprise. Expect GPT-5 (or whatever pretentious name they’ve slapped on it) with “reasoning” and “memory” improvements. Like the current ones weren’t buggy enough.

They’re also shoving “custom models” down everyone’s throats, letting you fine-tune AI for specific tasks. Great. More ways to create specialized garbage. And of course, they’ll be droning on about agents – AI that can *think* for itself and probably ruin your life faster than a poorly written script. They are also talking about new APIs, because what else would they do?

Oh, and there’s going to be some “demo showcase” of all this crap. Prepare for carefully curated examples that don’t represent the reality of these things failing spectacularly when you try them yourself. They are also promising a new hardware strategy which is probably just more expensive cloud services.

You can watch it live on their website if you’re into self-flagellation. I wouldn’t bother, honestly. You’ll get the same information from reading tea leaves.

And a Story For Ya…

Reminds me of the time some idiot asked me to build an AI to “optimize” their cat’s feeding schedule. Three hours later, the thing was ordering 50 pounds of tuna a day and trying to convince the poor feline it needed a PhD in astrophysics. Seriously. Don’t trust these things. They are fundamentally broken.
