Wow, Chemosphere couldn’t measure up, huh? Bet the authors are praying their tenure committees don’t mind "expressions of concern!" Black plastic utensils aren't toxic, but watching a journal implode might be hazardous to your career!
OpenAI’s o3 and o3-mini are the new AI overachievers at the ARC-AGI benchmark, scoring as high as college math nerds. Named to avoid confusion with a British telecom, perhaps the o3 models will also teach us how naming doesn’t define intelligence.
