Fujifilm Neopan 100 SS (FF)

**English:**
A black and white photograph depicting a narrow alleyway with a brick-paved path. The alley is flanked by high walls on both sides, creating a sense of depth and leading the eye towards a door at the end. The shadows cast by the walls create a pattern of light and dark on the ground, adding texture to the scene. The door at the end of the alley is slightly ajar, with a ladder leaning against the wall nearby.

**Chinese:**

Fujifilm Neopan 100 SS (FF)

**English:**
A black and white photograph showing a view through a slightly open door into a narrow alleyway. The door handle and hinge are visible on the left side of the image. The alleyway is paved with bricks and extends into the distance, with a few steps leading up to another level. The perspective gives a sense of depth and invites curiosity about what lies beyond.

**Chinese:**
一张黑白照片,展示了通过一扇微开的门看到的狭窄小巷。门把手和铰链在图片的左侧可见。小巷铺着砖块,向远处延伸,几级台阶通向另一个高度。透视感给人一种深度感,并引发人…
Fujifilm Neopan 100 SS (FF)

**English:**
A black and white photograph of an entrance to a traditional building, featuring a decorative brick wall with a circular pattern near the top. The entrance is framed by brick walls, and the roof above shows some wear. The scene is slightly blurred, adding a sense of nostalgia and timelessness to the image.

**English:**
A black and white photograph capturing a string of traditional Chinese lanterns hanging from a wire. The lanterns are intricately designed and appear to be made of a translucent material. They are positioned in front of a building with a numbered plaque, and a security camera is visible on the right side of the image. The lanterns add a cultural and festive element to the scene.

1. Order two bags of cat litter.
2. The seller doesn't send it on time. No matter, you're not in a hurry.
3. Recall that they still didn't send it. Decide to resign.
4. Turns out they send it just before you resign.
5. The parcels come. Open the box.
6. Discover that the bag is damaged. Take a photo just in case.
7. Carefully take it out and check how damaged it is. Well, it's only ripped at the top, no point in returning it over that.
8. Notice they've sent the wrong litter (you've ordered non-scented) 🤦.
9. Call them asking whether there's a point in opening the other box. They say it's going to be the wrong litter too, just make a return request and attach photos.
10. You do that, requesting money return. They request you to make damage protocol from delivery company.
11. You do that. Maybe you'd agree to a 20 PLN discount for next shopping instead of returning two bags of the wrong cat litter?
12. They finally accept the return. And they prepare the return… for one bag 🤦.
So I was supposed to work less today. Instead, I've wasted a lot of time on dealing with damaged parcel and the vendor. And a lot of tape, so it wouldn't fall apart on the return journey.

If you've been paying attention, this is a *very* strong signal that OpenAI is hitting the limits of improved capability with more compute/data and they're (predictably) all out of other ideas. The quiet "exponential model capabilities" lie here is what Altmann promised but is now starting not to be able to deliver, even in cherry-picked demo terms.

The "agentic" turn was never going to pan out, because it exposes the unreliability of LLMs too directly, and it turns out that no amount of yelling at your text vending machine to "Be smarter! Think harder!" will actually get you anything more than vended text.
I'm *praying* that we get into this crash sooner rather than later, since the faster it comes, the less painful it will be.
My recent reading in actual research papers corroborates this, for example, asking LLMs to play games exposes their utter lack of anything that can be termed "reasoning":
