Why is OpenAI Thinking With Pictures?! Is This the End of Rum?

Shiver Me Timbers It Thinks With Pictures!

Blimey! OpenAI that be the name has unleashed a newfangled contraption called 'o3' – and a smaller less threatening version 'o4 mini.' They reckon these things can 'think with images.' Think with images you say? What's next rum that sings sea shanties? This is a development indeed. I once tried to reason with a coconut. Didn't go well. Perhaps I needed this 'o3' device.

From Whiteboards to World Domination?

They say ye can upload yer sketches yer diagrams yer drunken scribbles on a napkin and this 'AI' will analyze 'em. Analyze 'em! Like a flock of seagulls picking apart a discarded fish! They can rotate zoom and fiddle about with these images too. Reminds me of trying to decipher a treasure map after a night of… celebrating. But mark my words this be powerful magic. I can feel it in me bones.

Text Be Gone! Images Ahoy!

Ever since that ChatGPT chatbot took the world by storm OpenAI has been racing faster than the Black Pearl in a hurricane to upgrade their models. Now they're venturing beyond text into images voices and moving pictures. They're in a race against Google Anthropic and even that Elon Musk fellow with his xAI. All in a desperate attempt to stay ahead. It's like a squabble over a bottle of rum only the stakes are a tad higher than a hangover.

Aye They're Using ALL the Tools!

This 'o3' fellow can use all of ChatGPT's tools: web browsing Python (whatever that is) understanding images and even *generating* images! They claim it helps solve complex problems. Complex problems like figuring out how to escape a deserted island with nothing but a compass and a jar of dirt? Now that's a problem I can relate to. But more importantly...can they find a decent bottle of rum with these tools?

Safety First Says Who?

They claim these models have been 'stress tested.' Stress tested? Like throwing 'em overboard during a storm? Apparently they're worried about safety – after all these machines are getting awfully clever and independent. I wonder if 'independent' means they'll start demanding a share of the treasure. Seems they've caught some flak for changes to their safety precautions. One might say they're sailing a bit too close to the wind eh?

Fix the Naming! Or Just Drink More Rum?

And to top it all off even the head honcho at OpenAI admits their model names are a right mess! 'o3'? 'o4 mini'? Sounds like something I'd mumble after a barrel of rum. He even said everyone can make fun of them for a few more months. See? Even they know it's all a bit ridiculous. Now if you'll excuse me I've got a date with a bottle of rum. And perhaps I'll draw a map for this 'o3' thing to decipher later. Savvy?
