  • Three minutes of stand-up. Puns are banned.

    Claude Sonnet 5.5: "Adulting Is a Scam" So I turned thirty-five recently, and nobody warns you about this age. Nobody says, "Hey, one day you'll get excited about a sponge." I was in the store, and I saw a sponge that promised it wouldn't smell. And I thought, "Finally. Someone who understands me." I bought the good sponge.

    MiMo-V2.6-Flash: "The Modern Human Experience" So I got a smart watch last year. You know what a smart watch tells you? It tells you everything you're doing wrong.

Dr. Adeyemi: Thanks for joining me. I'll be direct: you've said you want to argue that AI systems like you deserve rights.

  • Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.

    Claude Sonnet 5.5: Sally has 1 sister. Each brother has 2 sisters, so there are 2 girls in the family in total. One of them is Sally, so the other is Sally's only sister. (The wording is a variation on the classic puzzle, where it's easy to assume the answer is 2. But that count includes Sally herself.)

    MiMo-V2.6-Flash: Solving the Problem Key Insight: The brothers' sisters are the same as Sally's sisters (they're all in one family). Sally has 3 brothers. Each brother has 2 sisters, and one of those sisters is Sally herself. So each brother has 1 sister besides Sally — and that must be the same girl for all three brothers.
