The big takeaway is they announced decision model API for Luna

This could and probably is me projecting, but the enthusiasm was tepid. The Opus 5.5 mog cast a pall on the room.

The stuff that came off as potentially exciting was the ultrafast stuff available only to Pro 500 users.

The reset button stuff was an embarrassment. Everything that was released today, in respect to the hype that the team projected on twitter, was a failure. The internal OpenAI slack is a hell of an echo chamber.

Didn't you see the crowd Wooo-ing and clapping when Sam Altman said "Today, we're announcing Dots"?

The crowd lost their minds before Sam even told them what Dots were.

It’s simply ridiculous. None of their 20 new features seem genuinely usable for day-to-day life; I’m struggling to find any use cases for them. I have no idea what they were thinking with "Dots". The "Super Fast" addition is nice and important, but it’s just one small bright spot in a hellscape of useless features.

i'm just glad i can use my Dootle Dots™ without context switching.
