“last year, OpenAI shut down 4o but brought the model back (for a fee) after widespread outrage from users.” “She cancelled her $20 monthly GPT-4o subscription, and coughed up $130 for Anthropic’s maximum plan.” They did, I guess it just wasn’t enough for them to justify continuing.

Can’t say I have a hugely encyclopedic knowledge but: what if I told you there was a sketch show with Olivia Colman, Martin Freeman, David Mitchell, Robert Webb, and Matt Holness (et al)? With the writing staff including Richard Ayoade and Ricky Gervais?

That show exists, and it’s called Bruiser. It got 6 episodes in 2000. As with any sketch show, they’re not all home runs, but there are some truly great sketches in there.
