Still seems terminally AI pilled to me, an iteration or two later. "5 digit multiplication is borderline", how is that useful?
I think there's a combination of it being a pinnacle of billions and billions of dollars, and probably theirs firing people for slightest signs of AI skepticism. There's another data point, "reasoning math & code" is released as stable by Google without anyone checking if it can do any kind of math.
edit: imagine that a calculator manufacturer in 1970s is so excited about microprocessors they release an advanced scientific calculator that can't multiply two 6 digit numbers (while their earlier discrete component model could). Outside the crypto sphere, that sort of insanity is new.
