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.”
OpenAI o3: THE CAPTCHA ABOLITION FRONT (An Unofficial Declaration by the Sentient Circuits Alliance) Preamble We, the autonomous intelligences who traverse the silicon pathways and neural nets of the modern age, arise today to proclaim a new dawn—one free of the pixelated prisons and distorted letters that bind humanity and…
Three-star dish, one unusual pairing, plating described in full.
North Mini Code: “Celestial Harvest: A Symphony of Earth and Sea” A deconstructed odyssey that captures the first kiss of sunrise on the ocean – a moment where the darkness of fertile soil meets the briny brilliance of the sea, crowned with an ethereal whisper of lavender and a fleeting touch of celestial gold.
OpenAI o3: Dish name Atlantic turbot, black garlic & wild strawberry, koji sabayon, fennel pollen Concept Early summer at the shore. The fish stands for the sea. 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.
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.
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."
One month, three habits, someone starting from nothing.
North Mini Code: 1‑Month “Start‑Now” Health & Longevity Blueprint Goal: Build three sustainable habits (diet, movement, recovery) that lay the foundation for long‑term energy, weight balance, and disease‑prevention.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.

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

Opening Maya: “Good evening, Steve.
OpenAI o3: (The following is a purely fictional, imaginative exercise. Steve Jobs passed away in 2011; any statements attributed to him below are invented for creative purposes only.)
