[Barely Possible 2026-05-24] Today's episode: • A 1.2B-parameter model ran 100 poker tournaments with 6 personas: "Shark" won 45; "Grinder" won zero and never lost either. • A dev mass-refactored a 120-file FastAPI service in 400 steps, 2M tokens, $3—and the model confidently added an async deadlock. • OpenAI is advertising a $445K researcher role requiring candidates to be "tasteful and strategic," as model taste edges out raw capability.
