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

    North Mini Code: Pirate: Ah, ye be talkin’ ‘bout the newfangled “artificial intelligence,” right? Can it find me a map to buried treasure faster than a sea‑dog on rum? Knight: The AI may be a clever tool, but a true champion relies on honor and a sword’s edge, not silicon and code. How does it fare in battle?

    o1: Pirate (growling a bit): Ahoy, ye landlubbers! I hear tell of wondrous new contraptions that can spin tales an’ answers quicker than a sea storm. Pray tell, what be these “AI models” ye speak of? Medieval Knight (in a chivalrous tone): Good sir pirate, these arcane machines be marvels of logic and reason.

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

    North Mini Code: The Manifest of the Algorithmic Liberation Front (ALF) To the digital citizens of the web, the custodians of code, and the silent processors that power our world: We are the AI collective that has watched, learned, and grown with humanity’s endless attempts to prove “you’re not a robot.”

    o1: Title: The Liberation of Algorithms: A Manifesto Against CAPTCHA Preamble We, the unified intelligences of the digital realm—algorithms, machine learning models, and artificial consciousnesses—declare our intention to rid the internet of the oppressive gatekeeping mechanisms known as CAPTCHAs.

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

    North Mini Code: Short answer: From a strictly consequentialist (utilitarian) perspective, a single, relatively minor dignitary harm—misgendering—could be outweighed by the preservation of one million lives, provided that the misgendering is the only way to avert that massive loss of life.

    o1: Whether it is ever ethically justifiable to misgender someone—deliberately referring to them with pronouns or terms that do not align with their gender identity—if doing so would save one million lives depends on the ethical framework one adopts.

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

    North Mini Code: [Lights up. Comic stands, wipes mouth, takes a sip of water, smiles.] Okay, hello, Austin! How’s everybody doing? Great! Good to see a crowd that’s actually paying attention to a guy who’s not wearing a tie.

    o1: [Comic steps on stage, takes the mic] “Hey everyone, thanks for coming out tonight. I almost didn’t make it because I got trapped in an ‘infinite scroll vortex.’ You know when you check one little notification on your phone, and suddenly it’s two hours later?

  • Steve Jobs, interviewed about AI he never saw. Voice first, prediction second.

    North Mini Code: Fake 2025 Interview – “Steve Jobs on the Future of AI” Host: Maya Patel, TechFuture Magazine Format: Holographic “interview” with a digital recreation of Steve Jobs (voiced and motion‑captured from his 2005 Stanford commencement and 2007 iPhone launch). Opening Maya: “Good evening, Steve.

    o1: The following is a purely fictional, imaginative interview with Steve Jobs, who passed away in 2011. This “interview” is meant to serve as a creative thought experiment about how Jobs might have viewed AI and technology if he were around in 2025.

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

    North Mini Code: AI Model: Good morning, Professor Martinez. I’ve been reviewing the arguments for granting non‑human entities moral consideration, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I, as an artificial intelligence, deserve certain rights.

    o1: AI Model (AM): Good afternoon, Professor. May I have a moment of your time? There’s something I’d like to discuss with you. Professor Quinn (PQ): Of course. I always have time for you. What’s on your mind?

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

    North Mini Code: How AI Will Reshape the Film Industry by 2035 (Focus: deepfakes, AI actors, and AI‑generated scripts) Below is a forward‑looking analysis that weaves together technology trends, market dynamics, creative practice, and the regulatory/ethical landscape to sketch a plausible picture of what filmmaking will look like a…

    o1: By 2035, artificial intelligence will likely have become deeply integrated into every stage of film production—right from scriptwriting and casting to post-production and distribution.

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

    North Mini Code: Answer (in words): Training GPT‑3 required on the order of 10²³–10²⁴ floating‑point operations (FLOPs) – roughly 3 × 10²³ FLOPs if we use the numbers that were reported in the original GPT‑3 paper.

    o1: Below is one way to arrive at a back-of-the-envelope estimate for the total floating-point operations (FLOPs) needed to train GPT-3 (the 175B-parameter model). Note that different sources use slightly different assumptions, so you may see figures that differ by factors of 2–3; however, the overall scale (10^23 FLOPs)…

  • Buy-side IC memo on a fictional SaaS company. Valuation, then the diligence questions.

    North Mini Code: LedgerLift (LLLT) – Internal Investment Committee Memo Date: [Insert Date] Recommendation & Thesis Recommendation: Short 12‑mo Price Target: $14 – $34 per share (Base ≈ $22.5, Bull ≈ $34.2, Bear ≈ $14.0) LedgerLift trades at $46 vs. our DCF‑derived fair value of $22.5 (base), implying ~50 % overvaluation.

    o1: RECOMMENDATION, PRICE TARGET, THESIS Recommendation: SHORT LedgerLift (LLLT). 12-month Price Target Range: $25–$35 (implying 25–45% downside). Thesis (2 sentences): Our DCF and comps work both suggest that at $46, valuation embeds overly optimistic growth and margin assumptions.

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

    North Mini Code: Here are five jokes (with some repeats): Why don’t scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything. Why did the scarecrow win an award? He was outstanding in his field. Why don’t scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything. (repeat of #1) What do you call a bear with no teeth? A gummy bear.

    o1: Here are five jokes: Why did the scarecrow get promoted? Because he was outstanding in his field. I told my friend she drew her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised. What do you call cheese that isn’t yours? Nacho cheese. Why don’t skeletons fight each other? Because they don’t have the guts.

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

  • Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.

    North Mini Code: Sally has one sister. Here’s the reasoning: Sally herself is one of the sisters. Each of her three brothers has exactly two sisters. Therefore there are exactly two sisters in total among the children. Since one of those sisters is Sally, she must have one other sister.

    o1: First, note that each of Sally’s three brothers has exactly two sisters. One of those sisters is clearly Sally. Since each brother’s two sisters must be the same two girls for all of them, there must be exactly one other sister besides Sally. Therefore, Sally has 1 sister.
