GPT-5 is the last chance that OpenAI has to really impress anyone and I think they are going to blow it. This shit is bleak, and the waste is gratuitous.

*checks notes* oh yeah? well i heard the ceo of nvidia claim that ppl who don't use chatbots are gonna lose our jobs bc we get outcompeted... he's definitely an unbiased, objective, and reliable source with expertise in operational psychology and worker productivity, so i 100% believe him

GPT-5 will no doubt be lauded as "so wise, you just know when you're talking to it that something special is going on" with no metrics or new functionality to back that up.

There’s a unaddressed chicken/egg thing going on here where AI zealots insist it will change society, but it’s also clear that AI only functions as promised in a fundamentally different society. AI agents work great! If you are ok w/o having privacy & if the entire internet is restructured.

Shorter: AI agents are the perfect solution for a society that has removed human agency.

They won't. They'll just put out another model that is marginally better at some task and worse at others. The'll brag about benchmark, Sam Altman is gonna say some stupid shit like "This model reaches into the realm of superintelligence" and all the journalists just gonna parrot it again and again.
