Photo of a cat the exact moment a can is being opened in the kitchen.

Photo of a cat mid zoom at the top of the stairs. The aerodynamic kitty is mid lunge with its ears back and front paws off the ground right as it reaches the first step. Does the kitty want what it hears being opened in the kitchen? The motion blur says it all.

A contact just told me that my old "LLMs generate nonsense code" blog post from 2 years ago is now very outdated with GPT5 because it's so awesome and so helpful. So I asked him to give it a test for me, and asked it my favorite test question based on a use-case I had myself recently:

Without adding third-party dependencies, how can I compress a Data stream with zstd in Swift on an iPhone?

and here is the answer from ChatGPT 5: https://chatgpt.com/share/68968506-1834-8004-8390-d27f4a00f480

Very confident, very bold, even claims "Works on iOS 16+".

Problem with that: Just like any other LLM I've tested that provided similar responses, it is - excuse my language but I need to use it - absolute horseshit. No version of any Apple SDK ever supported or supports ZSTD (see https://developer.apple.com/documentation/compression/compression_algorithm for a real piece of knowledge). It was never there. Not even in private code. Not even as a mention of "things we might do in the future" on some developer event. It fundamentally does not exist. It's completely made up nonsense.

This concludes all the testing for GPT5 I have to do. If a tool is able to actively mislead me this easy, which potentially results in me wasting significant amounts of time in trying to make something work that is guaranteed to never work, it's a useless tool. I don't like collaborating with chronic liars who aren't able to openly point out knowledge gaps, so I'm also not interested in burning resources for a LLM that does the same.

"Non temere piccolo gregge" è un invito antitetico a ricerche di potere.
Non c'è scritto che saremo di più.
Non c'è scritto che comanderemo noi dettando leggi.

C'è scritto di non temere di non contare, e di tenere il cuore in ciò che davvero conta.

Non so cosa mi aspettavo avrebbe disegnato, ma non mi aspettavo questo comunque.

Un personaggio simile a Superman, con lo stesso costume ma con un cappuccio a coprire la metà superiore del viso, inquadrato dalla vita in sù.

Per non diffondere la "twittite" a volte è meglio stare zitti e pensare a cosa quel post veramente servirebbe.
Si può anche scherzare, ma creare la mentalità malevola, giorno dopo giorno, rovina la vita.

Yesterday¹, I was looking for a specific meme, and thanks to your help, I found it!

@LazyCat@troet.cafe had it, in German.

I made an English version of it.

Should anybody know the author's identity, I'd love to credit them.

Ein Meme in 2 Teilen:

Oben: Rechte

Ein Venn-Diagramm aus 2 Kreisen mit winziger Schnittmenge, die mit "gemeinsamer Hass gegen irgendwas oder irgendwen" beschriftet ist.

Darunter der Text "Mein Freund, lass uns unsere Feinde vernichten uns alle die anders sind, deportieren und zur Machtergreifung die Demokratie zerstören!"

Unten: Linke

Ein Venn-Diagramm aus 2 Kreisen, die sich praktisch komplett überlappen. Das winzige Komplement außerhalb der Schnittmenge ist mit "Ein falsches Wort" beschriftet.

Darunter der Text "Tut mir sehr leid, aber so kann ich dein anliegen einfach nicht unterstützen."

A two part meme:

Above: People on the Right

A Venn diagram with two circles hardly intersecting at all. The minuscle intersection is labelled "Mutual aid against something or someone".

Then the text "My friend let us destroy our enemies, deport all those, who are different and destroy democracy for our power grab!"

Below: People on the Left

A Venn diagram with two circles almost totally overlapping. The minuscle complement is labelled "A wrong word".

Then the text "I am very sorry, but under these circumstances, I'm unable to support your issue."

I once saw a meme that would come in handy so many times, but couldn't find it with image searches.

I was like that, more or less:

Venn diagram of two leftists. Two circles almost completely overlapping.

Leftist 1: No with your interpretation of xyz I can't cooperate with you.

Leftist 2: Away with you!

Venn diagram of two right wingers. Two circles barely touching at one point.

Right winger 1: Let's beat up some foreigners!

Right winger 2: Yeah, my man!

Do you know/have it?
