like the M3GAN 2.0 villain, I have also asked for 5 minutes from an important Zoom meeting so I could escape certain death by running to a new location

Going through some Erdős problems that Mark Sellke and Mehtaab Sawhney found had already been solved using GPT5 pro for search. More precisely, these were listed as open, but solutions to them already existed in the literature, but not recognized as such. Quite remarkable.

A photo of a blue spotted stingray. The animal is a dark greenish gray with a multitude of vibrant blue spots. Its body is flat and pancake-shaped.

Behold the striking colors of the blue-spotted stingray! Its bright spots are a warning to onlookers that it's venomous—& if its colors aren’t enough to ward off foes, it’s equipped w/ a tail that can inject a lethal dose of toxins.

British Museum photo showing a two-player board game with gaming counters known as the Royal Game of Ur. Dated c. 2,500 BC. The game board is composed of a hollow box made of wood adorned with shell plaques. There is a drawer at one end for storing game pieces and dice. The top of the board is covered with twenty square-shaped off-white shell plaques, each bordered with dark-blue lapis lazuli. The shell squares are intricately decorated with blue inlaid patterns including dots inside circles and eye-shapes. Five squares are inlaid with flower-shaped rosettes with red limestone and blue lapis lazuli petals. The game board is roughly rectangular in shape. Viewed from above in the photo, on the left side of the board is a block of 12 squares made up of 4 across by 3 down. On the right side of the board is a block of 6 squares made up of 2 across by 3 down. The two blocks are joined by two squares extending between the second square down on the end row of the left block and the second square down on the first row of the second block. Dimensions H: 2.40 cm, L: 30.10 cm, W: 11 cm, (W 5.70 cm at narrowest part) Beneath the board are 14 disc-shaped gaming counters. On the left are 7 white pieces, inlaid with 5 spots of blue lapis lazuli. On the right are 7 black pieces inlaid with five white spots. Between the game pieces are three tetrahedron-shaped dice. L to R: Dark blue, brown, cream.

The Royal Game of Ur is the world’s oldest playable boardgame!

Played by Sumerians in ancient Mesopotamia about 4,500 years ago!

It is a two-player race game, the rules of which have been deciphered from a cuneiform tablet.

I don’t think the main character in Friendship was a narcissist. I think he was deeply burying his grief, protecting himself, and ruining everyone else’s lives in the process.
