  I read some of the author’s other articles. They have a habit of regurgitating highly suspect claims from press releases or company self-descriptions as if they were reality.

  OpenAI is confident in o3, and offers impressive benchmarks—it says that in a Codeforcing testing, which measures coding ability, o3 got a score of 2727. For context, a score of 2400 would put an engineer in the 99th percentile of programmers. It gets a score of 96.7% on the 2024 American Invitational Mathematics Exam, missing just one question.

  There’s also the article which claims that AI puts the entire power grid at risk, and then when you read the article, you learn that in order for that to be true, you need to lump AI in with crypto mining, other datacenter expansion, electric cars, and climate control for people’s homes.
