Logged in to agree with all the other comments: this is so, so pretty. Will try the demo soon.

Huh. I find myself preferring aspects of TEXT-DAVINCI-001 in just about every example prompt.

It’s so to-the-point. No hype. No overstepping. Sure, it lacks many details that later models add. But those added details are only sometimes helpful. Most of the time, they detract.

Makes me wonder what folks would say if you re-released TEXT-DAVINCI-001 as “GPT5-BREVITY”

I bet you’d get split opinions on these types of not so hard / creative prompts.

> I would not have expected frontier models to be caught on something like this but I tried it and they absolutely do.

This got me curious. Tried on Gemini 2.5 Pro out of curiosity. It gets it right, but it did think about it, and then even explain itself a lot in its official text response.

Thinking:

Here's my thought process for solving this classic riddle: Identify the key players: The problem mentions Alice, her brothers, and her sisters. Establish Alice's family structure: Alice is a girl. She has 3 brothers. She has 6 sisters. Determine the total number of children in the family: Girls: Alice (1) + her sisters (6) = 7 girls Boys: Alice's brothers (3) = 3 boys Total children: 7 girls + 3 boys = 10 children Focus on the question: "How many sisters does her brother have?" Shift perspective: Now, consider one of Alice's brothers (let's call him Bob, although his name doesn't matter). Analyze Bob's siblings: Bob is one of the children in the family. The family consists of 7 girls and 3 boys. Count Bob's sisters: From Bob's perspective, all the girls in the family are his sisters. How many girls are in the family? We already determined there are 7 girls (Alice + her 6 sisters). Count Bob's brothers: From Bob's perspective, the other boys in the family are his brothers. How many boys are in the family? 3. How many other boys are there besides Bob? 3 total boys - 1 (Bob himself) = 2 brothers. (This isn't asked, but it helps confirm the perspective shift). Answer the specific question: The question asks how many sisters Bob (Alice's brother) has. We found there are 7 girls in the family. All 7 girls are his sisters. Final Check: Does the answer make sense? Yes. All the children in a family share the same set of siblings, just categorized differently based on their own gender. All the boys have the same number of sisters, and all the girls have the same number of sisters. Alice has 6 sisters (the other 6 girls). Any brother has 7 sisters (Alice + the other 6 girls).

Final message: Here's how to break down the problem: 1. Identify the total number of girls in the family: Alice (1) + her sisters (6) = 7 girls. 2. Identify the total number of boys in the family: Alice has 3 brothers. 3. Consider one of Alice's brothers: Any one of her brothers is part of the same family. 4. Count his sisters: From the brother's perspective, all the girls in the family are his sisters. So, her brother has 7 sisters.

What about the site led to the assumption that the time limit is related to discipline and social media overuse? The tag-line is "Because social media is better when we're all online together" not "because social media is hard to stay off of and we need boundaries forced on us."

You're making a great point, and one I think most people agree with, but I'm not sure it's relevant. At least, based on what I see of the website in its "offline" status.

This gave me a chuckle

Seconding this. I get really great results from Flash 2.0 and even Pro 1.5 for some things compared to OpenAI models.

And their 2.0 Thinking model is great for other things. When my task matters, I default to Gemini.

Well I clicked one too many times. Came across a funeral procession with 0 views. Couldn't see any faces or identifying information, thankfully. But sad nonetheless.

Decided to give this a read.

Kagi’s argument is simple: Google should give public access to their Search Index so that any company can take advantage of the core machine directly, under some terms of agreement. Like an API.

Agreed. The Ubuntu ad feels like it's written with Apple Intelligence. "Secure, Certified, Everywhere, For You"

The really funny thing about the "lies about birthday present" one is that the wife asks the AI to make a Woodworking Memory Video, and while they're watching it, it looks like a beach vacation photo is included in the mix.

For a second I forgot where I was, and thought she'd be found out, then remembered it's an ad, and everyone is impressed.

Maybe the image is actually related to the woodworking? But I couldn't help but think, "that's about right - a random, ill-fitting photo"

An estimated 40% of global websites use Wordpress in some way. It's hard to come up with a more generally applicable set of skills than "Wordpress" at least based on total users worldwide (I'm not here to defend WP, I've never liked it)

That said, I don't think the author's experience with Wordpress has poor transportability into other niches anyway.

If this is the actual error message, it's written very poorly. Sounds like it was written by someone frustrated with the fact that they had to write it at all, and made it up on the spot.
