if you liked toribash, also check out Your Only Move Is Hustle (or YOMI hustle) which is similarly 'turn based' but in 2d. Closest thing I've found to playable Xiao Xiao.
especially if you have a custom domain with google workspace (or whatever it's named now). my switch to pointing my domain from google to proton was totally painless, you can migrate all your old emails, etc.
i imagine if you just have an @gmail.com it might be a little more annoying what with having to do forwarding, but still worth it.

My product is going to be the fundamental driver of the economy. Even a human right!
> Maybe with 10 gigawatts of compute, AI can figure out how to cure cancer.
How?
> We are particularly excited to build a lot of this in the US; right now, other countries are building things like chips fabs and new energy production much faster than we are, and we want to help turn that tide.
There's the appeal to the current administration.
> Over the next couple of months, we’ll be talking about some of our plans and the partners we are working with to make this a reality. Later this year, we’ll talk about how we are financing it
Not a word or whisper about environmental impact, either. I mean at least do some hand waving or something. I feel like a habitable planet is a fundamental right.
The US is the second most energy-hungry country on Earth (the first one being China, a country that accounts for almost 30% of the global manufacturing output), so I think it's better to compare it against the rest of the world:
Every country bellow the top 40 has a consumption lower than 87.6 TWh per year, that includes developed countries like Finland and Belgium, so yes, 10 gigawatts is a lot of power.
It's not worth anyone's time to meticulously fact check known (and I'm being kind here) 'exaggerator' Sam Altman, because by the time you're done, he's already spread 10 more 'exaggerations'.
But for real, the leap from GPT4 to GPT5 was nowhere near as impressive as from GTP3 to GPT4. They'll have to do a lot more to give any weight to their usual marketing ultra-hype.
Agreed. Their naming conventions in a way really broke the perception of progress. GPT-4 to o3 or GPT-5 is truly impressive. The leap from GPT-4o to GPT-5 is less impressive but GPT-4o is generally recognized as GPT-4.
All that being said, it does seem like OpenAI and Anthropic are on a quest for more dollars by promoting fantasy futures where there is not a clear path from A to B, at least to those of us on the outside.
I think people have a lot of rosy glasses and fondness for those early days, combined with general usability benchmarks being mostly saturated now. GPT-3.5 would say Dallas was the capital of USA, but GPT-4 got it every time!
GPT-4 launched with 8k context. It hallucinated regularly. It was slow. One-shotting code was unheard of, you had to iterate and iterate. It fell over even doing basic math problems.
GPT-5 thinking on the other hand is so capable that the average person wouldn't be able to really test it's abilities. It's really only experts operating in their domain who can find it's stumbling blocks.
I think because we have seen these constant incremental updates that it creates a staircase with small steps, but if you really reflect and look back, you'll see the actual capability gap from 3.5 to 4 compared to 4 to 5 is way way smaller. This is echoed in benchmarks too, GPT-5 is solving problems so wildly beyond what GPT-4 was capable of.
No offense but your comment is basically HN parody.
OpenAI created AI tech decades ahead of estimates. And they just signed a 100B deal with Nvidea.
They are actually doing the things that are astonishing.
Every engineer I see in coffee shops uses AI. All my coworkers use AI. I use AI. AI nearly solved protein folding. It is beginning to unlock personalized medicine. AI absolutely will be a fundamental driver of the economy in the future.
Being skeptical is still reasonable.. but flippant dismissal of legitimately amazing accomplishments is peak HN top comment.

Definitely don't look into the financial details of that deal with Nvidia!
> Every engineer I see in coffee shops uses AI. All my coworkers use AI. I use AI.
Okay
> AI nearly solved protein folding.
FAH predates OpenAI by fifteen years and ChatGPT 3 by twenty. Do not fall for Altman's conflation of LLMs with every other form of machine learning he and OpenAI had nothing to do with!
I don't think there's any criticism of the (remarkable) things which have been achieved so far, more the breathless hype about how AI is going to solve all our current and future problems if we just keep shovelling money and energy in. Predicting the future is hard, and I don't think Sam is particularly better at knowing what's going to happen in ten years time than anyone else.
My worst offender for scraping one of my sites was Anthropic. I deployed an ai tar pit (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42725147) to see what it would do it with it, and Anthropic's crawler kept scraping it for weeks. I calculated the logs and I think I wasted nearly a year of their time in total, because they were crawling in parallel. Other scrapers weren't so persistent.
For me it was OpenAI. GTPBot hammered my honeypot with 0.87 requests per second for about 5 weeks. Other crawlers only made up 2% of the traffic. 1.8 million requests, 4 GiB of traffic. Then it just abruptly stopped for whatever reason.
Brendan Eich was fired for opposing gay marriage, then went on to create Brave, which is yet another Chromium wrapper just with bad crypto monetization and other scummy practices.
Couldn't imagine what Mozilla would be like today if he stayed around and tried to integrate crypto. At the end of the day, main post shows Firefox engineering is keeping up with Chrome which is a feat no other browser has accomplished.
For the record I also dislike the top brass at Mozilla for the same reasons I dislike Eich - trendchasing instead of making a good browser. Firefox is succeeding because of the engineers and despite the c-suite.
This gets really tiresome to rebuke. He supported a proposition that was supported by the MAJORITY of the citizens at the time and that was already six years old when we became Mozilla CEO. Some people wrote hit pieces even though he even distanced himself from it. He was not fired, he stepped back voluntarily.
Yes, Mozilla and I agree that I was not fired -- which would have been illegal in California under CA Labor Law 1101/1102.
Why do a relative few on HN insist on this false claim? It seems to make them feel better about Mozilla (one reply nearby in this page says so explicitly). Reaction to a guilty conscience?
> Normally, it is undesirable for users’ passwords to be cracked. However, in the case of law enforcement, we often need to obtain suspects’ passwords in order to access encrypted evidence. The obvious solution is to build powerful (and expensive) dictionary cryptanalysis computers. A less obvious approach is to use the distributed power of web users’ computers, as has been done in the Seti@Home (https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ — suspended project) or Folding@Home projects (https://foldingathome.org/). The proposed approach can therefore support law enforcement activities while providing the desired functionality to the web community
"You're not allowed to visit this website unless you submit your computer to being part of the fed's password cracking botnet" that's a whole fresh hell. A better use case is right there in their own description! I'd love my captchas to be little Folding@Home problems.
btw no, cap does not contribute to any "fed botnet". you can build the WASM binaries yourself and compare the hashes. added a clarification about that to the docs.
Generally that is countered by asking for a mix of known and unknown solutions; your accuracy on the unknown is assessed through your accuracy on the known.
Is it possible to do some other sort of cryptographic trick than simply seeding the mix with known and knowns. Some sort of sum of many answers combined? Maybe it isn’t possible in this use case though (brute forcing passwords).
For example is crypto POW really just doing a mix of known and unknowns or is there more cryptographic magic to it than that?
