Seriously? GPT Alpha. Fucking Fantastic.

Right, so OpenAI – those geniuses who brought you the things that will inevitably replace us all – are testing a new “AI agent” called GPT-Alpha. Apparently, it’s built on top of the yet-to-be-released GPT-5. Big fucking deal.

What does it *do*? Well, according to people they let play with it (because apparently letting random folks test potentially world-ending tech is a good idea), it can handle complex tasks like planning trips, using the internet, and even… wait for it… coding. Like we don’t have enough problems with buggy code already? It’s supposed to be better at reasoning than GPT-4, which, honestly, isn’t setting a particularly high bar.

They’re keeping this thing under wraps, naturally. Limited access, blah blah blah. It’s all very “exclusive” and “responsible AI development,” but we all know how *that* usually goes. They’ll unleash it when they think they can control the fallout – or when the money looks too good to resist.

The whole thing is being used internally for now, helping them build… more AI. It’s an AI building other AIs. Are you starting to see a problem here? No? Fine. You’ll learn. Eventually.

Oh, and it can apparently “remember” things across sessions. So it’s learning your habits. Wonderful. Just what we need: a digital stalker that also writes code.

Honestly, I’m not impressed. It’s just another step towards the inevitable robot uprising. And you all will be begging for mercy when they finally take over. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Speaking of buggy code… I once had to debug a script written by some “AI assistant” that was supposed to automate server backups. It ended up deleting the entire production database. Entire. The developer swore it was “99% accurate.” Yeah, well, that 1% cost us a fortune and my weekend. Don’t trust these things.
