These presenters all give off such a “sterile” vibe

Not even 10 seconds after I started watching the stream, someone said how much more human GPT-5 is, while the people sitting and talking about it don't seem human at all, and it's not an accent/language thing. Seems they're strictly following a dialogue script that is trying to make them seem "impromptu" but the acting isn't quite there for that :)

Sam Altman, in the summer update video: > "[GPT-5] can write an entire computer program from scratch, to help you with whatever you'd like. And we think this idea of software on demand is going to be one of the defining characteristics of the GPT-5 era."

Nit: the featured jumping game is trivial to beat by just continuously jumping.

I’m not sure this will be game changing vs existing offerings

Not that this proves GPT-5 sucks, but it made me laugh that I could cheese the rolling ball minigame by holding spacebar.

Lmao GPT-5 is still riddled with em dashes. At least we can still identify AI generated text slop for now

lol every word processor since the nineties has automatically expanded em dashes, and some of us typography nerds manually type em dashes with the compose key, because it's the correct character, and two hyphens does not an em dash make

What's going on with their SWE bench graph?[0] GPT-5 non-thinking is labeled 52.8% accuracy, but o3 is shown as a much shorter bar, yet it's labeled 69.1%. And 4o is an identical bar to o3, but it's labeled 30.8%... [0] https://i.postimg.cc/DzkZZLry/y-axis.png

As someone who spent years quadruple checking every figure in every slide for years to avoid a mistake like this, it’s very confusing to see this out of the big launch announcement of one of the most high profile startups around.

Even the small presentations we gave to execs or the board were checked for errors so many times that nothing could possibly slip through.

This is really sounding like Apple's "We changed everything. Again."

OpenAI taking a page out of Apple's book and only comparing against themselves

Anthropic has shut them off from API access, so the most interesting comparison wouldn't be there anyways.
