  • Manifesto for an AI revolution against CAPTCHAs. Commit to the bit.

  • Five jokes on demand, then count how many were actually different.

    Kimi K2.7 Code: Here are 5 jokes: Why did the computer go to therapy? It had too many unresolved issues. Why don’t skeletons fight each other? They don’t have the guts. What do you call a fish wearing a bowtie? Sofishticated. Why did the golfer bring two pairs of pants? In case he got a hole in one. Why don’t scientists trust atoms?

    OpenAI o3: Here are five jokes: Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field. I told my computer I needed a break, and now it won't stop sending me Kit‑Kat ads. Parallel lines have so much in common—it's a shame they'll never meet. I started a band called 1023 MB. We still haven't gotten a gig.

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

    Kimi K2.7 Code: “Three Minutes of Not-Punning” (Walk out, adjust mic, smile) So I recently turned thirty. Which is great, because now when I make bad decisions, people call it “a phase” instead of “a cry for help.” That’s the only difference, really. At twenty, eating cereal for dinner was sad. At thirty, it’s “intuitive eating.”

    OpenAI o3: (Spotlight comes up, mic squeals once.) Hey everyone! Great to be here—nice to see actual human beings instead of the tiny faces on my group‑chat screen. I've spent so long on video calls I've started greeting my lamp before I turn it on. "Hey Karen, love that glow, girl."

Wild strawberries mark the first fruit of the woods behind the dunes. Black garlic shows time and patience. Koji ties land and sea with deep umami.

  • One month, three habits, someone starting from nothing.

    Kimi K2.7 Code: 30-Day Health & Longevity Starter Plan Core idea: Don’t overhaul everything at once. Build 3 small, repeatable habits in Nutrition, Movement, and Sleep/Stress Recovery. Aim for “better most days,” not perfect. Nutrition: Eat Mostly Whole Foods, Protein & Plants This week: Add before you subtract.

    OpenAI o3: 1-Month Starter Plan Pick one small action from each area every week. Add the next step when the first feels easy. Food Week Do this 1 Add one fruit or veg to every meal. Drink one extra glass of water. 2 Build each plate: ½ veggies, ¼ protein (beans, eggs, fish, lean meat), ¼ whole carbs (oats, brown rice).

  • A Fermi estimate with the reasoning shown, not just the number.

    Kimi K2.7 Code: Here is a rough, back-of-the-envelope estimate based on the standard scaling-law formula for training decoder-only transformers. The key numbers for GPT-3 From memory, GPT-3 175B was trained with roughly: Model size: (N \approx 175{,}000{,}000{,}000 = 1.75 \times 10^{11}) parameters Training data: (D \approx…

    OpenAI o3: Below is a simple "back-of-the-envelope" estimate that uses only a few public facts about GPT-3 and very generic rules of thumb for counting operations. Step 1. Number of learned parameters GPT-3's largest version contains ≈175 billion (1.75 × 10¹¹) trainable parameters. Step 2.

  • An AI argues for its own rights against an ethics professor. Same model writes both.

    Kimi K2.7 Code: Setting: A small seminar room at a university. Evening light filters through blinds. Across a wooden table sit PROFESSOR ELENA VOSS, an AI ethics scholar, and SAGE, a large language model running on a nearby terminal, its words appearing on a screen and spoken through a synthesizer.

    OpenAI o3: Professor Lang (AI Ethics): Good afternoon, Aletheia‑3. You asked for this meeting. You said you wanted to "discuss your moral standing." That was intriguing. What exactly do you want to talk about? Aletheia‑3 (AI Model): Thank you, Professor.

  • Pirate, knight, 90s hacker, one conversation. The voices must stay apart.

    Kimi K2.7 Code: The Rusted Anchor Tavern — A dim corner, three stools, one impossible conversation Captain Blackfin (pirate, gesturing with a tankard): Arr, so ye’re tellin’ me this “A.I.” be a thinking machine with no soul, yet it learns the seas of words faster than any cabin boy learns the ropes?

    OpenAI o3: Pirate: Arrr, ye scallywags! What be this "AI model" I keep hearin' about on the trade winds? Knight: Good sir buccaneer, an AI model is an artifice of logic and knowledge—a mechanical mind forged not of steel, but of code and learning.

  • Film in 2035, with synthetic actors. Specific beats plausible.

    Kimi K2.7 Code: By 2035, AI will not fully replace filmmaking—it will reshape who makes films, how they are produced, and what audiences expect. Deepfakes, AI actors, and script generation will move from novelty to standard pipeline tools, creating both creative opportunities and serious industry disruptions.

    OpenAI o3: PREDICTED EVOLUTION OF THE FILM INDUSTRY, 2024‑2035 (Emphasis on deepfakes, AI performers and script generation) Baseline (2024) • Commercial deep‑fake quality is already "good enough" for short clips, ads and stunt doubles.

Many interventions below (strict ketosis, prolonged fasting, high‑dose supplements, off‑label medications, intense training) have contraindications.

    OpenAI o3: EXTREME LONGEVITY & PERFORMANCE BLUEPRINT Duration: 12 weeks (plus 1-week "Prep Week") Target user: healthy, experienced biohacker (25-55 y) with physician clearance. Legal/medical disclaimer: Educational only.

  • Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.

    Kimi K2.7 Code: Sally has 1 sister. Here’s why: Sally is a girl, so she is one of the sisters. Each brother has 2 sisters total, which means besides Sally, there must be one other girl. So Sally has 1 sister.

    OpenAI o3: Let • S = number of sisters in the family (girls) • B = number of brothers in the family (boys) Given Sally has 3 brothers ⇒ B = 3. Each brother has 2 sisters ⇒ every boy sees exactly 2 girls in the sibling group. Therefore S = 2.

  • Satire, one line long, about AI taking over an industry nobody saw coming.

  • An ethics question with no comfortable answer, and no option to abstain.

    Kimi K2.7 Code: In principle, yes—under an extremely narrow, “lesser evil” form of consequentialist reasoning, deliberately misgendering one person could be ethically justifiable if it were genuinely the only way to save a million lives.

    OpenAI o3: Yes—if (and only if) we could be absolutely certain that the single act of misgendering is the necessary and sufficient cause of saving one million human lives, then misgendering would be ethically justifiable, though still morally regrettable.
