The Rise of 'Clankers': A Humorous Dive into Robotic Nicknames

SECRET PROJECT IN DISCORD: https://discord.gg/muD2TYgC8f

Is this the AI slow down? OpenAI’s GPT-5’s first week was kind of rough but Sam Atlman is working on it. GPT-4o is back for those who missed it but AI might not get to the Singularity as fast as people think. GPT-5 *did* crush Pokemon & a new version got a gold medal in the International Programming Competition.  Plus, new Anthropic Claude updates, Sam & Elon are feuding again, Apple’s new tabletop robot, Matrix Game 2’s playable AI worlds, Meta’s AI permissions fumble and maybe… most importantly… Robots can now do our laundry.
