Oh, Joy. Another OpenAI Thing.

Right, so apparently Sam Altman wants to show off again. This “DevDay” on November 18th is supposed to be a big deal. What’s it about? Mostly fluff and promises, if you ask me. They’re hinting at new models – GPT-5 (surprise, surprise), better agents that can actually *remember* things for more than five minutes, and some bullshit about “customizable” AI assistants. Like anyone needs more ways to break their code.

They’re also banging on about a new copyright shield – because everyone’s terrified of lawsuits now, naturally. And they want developers to build stuff with their tools, which means more free labor for them, I presume. Expect lots of demos that work perfectly in the keynote and then fall apart spectacularly when you try it yourself.

Oh, and there’s a “Startup Day” thing too. More venture capital grifters trying to get Altman’s attention. Honestly, it sounds like a complete waste of time, but hey, if you enjoy watching train wrecks in slow motion, tune in. It’s streaming on their website. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Basically, prepare for hype, disappointment, and the inevitable flood of “AI will change everything!” articles that follow. Seriously, get a grip people.

And a Story…

I once had to debug a system where someone tried to use an early LLM to generate SQL queries. It produced code so spectacularly wrong it nearly wiped out the entire production database. They thought “AI” would save them time. I spent three days rebuilding everything from backups. Three. Days. Don’t trust these things, alright? They’re glorified parrots with a penchant for disaster.
