OpenAI‘s o3 preview going well I see. Certainly worth the environmental and economic cost per prompt. „It can reason now“ Embarrasing. #openai #chatgpt #philsky credit to @niklasmichels.bsky.social

Still finding it hard to comprehend the awfulness of what it going on in Israel right now. Cannot see any route from here with mutually acceptable outcomes. Heightened my sense that humans are capable of making problems that they can’t solve.
