GPT-5 is Coming – Prepare for More Bullshit

Right, so OpenAI’s cooking up GPT-5. Because apparently GPT-4 wasn’t enough of a resource hog and potential disaster waiting to happen. They’re claiming it’ll be *significantly* better at reasoning, following instructions (yeah, right), and generally being… smarter? Whatever the fuck that means.

They’re being all secretive about details, naturally. Sam Altman is flapping his gums about needing “superalignment” – which translates to “we have no idea how to control this thing yet but we’ll *say* we’re working on it.” They’re supposedly testing it with a select few, and are worried about the potential for misuse. No shit, Sherlock! Like letting a toddler play with dynamite is gonna end well.

Apparently, they want to make sure it doesn’t just spew out garbage or become some kind of existential threat before unleashing it on the world. They’re also talking about multimodal capabilities – meaning it can handle images and other crap besides text. Fantastic. More ways for this thing to be wrong, biased, and generally unhelpful.

And of course, they’ll want more money for access. Because why wouldn’t they? Expect a whole new level of subscription tiers and bullshit features designed to separate you from your hard-earned cash. Honestly, I’m bracing myself for the inevitable flood of AI-generated spam and misinformation this thing will enable.

Don’t get me started on the “agents” they are building. Basically, little automated programs that use GPT models to do things… unsupervised. What could *possibly* go wrong?

In short: More hype, more problems, and more reasons to distrust everything you read online.

Seriously, people. Get a grip.

And speaking of things going wrong… 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 tested fine. Turns out, “fine” meant “works perfectly on an empty test server.” Don’t trust these things. Ever.
