Join Simtheory: https://simtheory.ai So Chris, this week... a LOT has happened. We're back to regular programming (maybe), and back with our average takes. Nothing's changed. GPT-5.5 just dropped today - but you can't even use it in the API. Vaporware? OpenAI is charging MORE than Opus 4.7 and we haven't even tested it yet. Meanwhile Claude Opus 4.7 landed a couple weeks ago and... the vibes are o...

Join Simtheory: https://simtheory.ai GPT-5.2 is here and... it's not great. In this episode, we put OpenAI's latest model through its paces and discover it can't even identify a convicted serial killer when the text literally says "serial killer."
