Good job on the release notice. I appreciate that it isn't just marketing fluff, but actually includes the technical specs for those of us who care and not concentrated in coding agents only.

I hope GPT 5.5 Pro is not cutting corners and neuter from the start, you got the compute for it not to be.

It was an attempt at humor and banter, should've flag that or something.

Anthropic Mythos at work! iOS is so good and well built that only 1 bug was found and those patch. "It's either all a joke ... or none of it is." -Bruce Banner

but What exactly is SpaceX doing in the AI Space (Pun Intended) and Why?

these are weird times...

Because the Harness is the Moat and key IP not the Models themselves that is the why! now for both OpenAI and Anthropic with all their money raised and the compute they acquire and have in the books of course no one can easily replicate, whom can afford all those datacenters and Nvidia GPUs interconnected is why OpenAI throws you a bone and gives you an Open Source SDK Harness but not the one they actually use for ChatGPT. But now both of them have to deliver and do all the bull-shet they said this models can do... truth is they cannot. So now the bubbles burst and we will see what happens. We all have to buy iPhones or MacBooks so that makes sense, we all use Chrome or Google Search, Instagram, TikTok.

All these models and agents are shortcuts for all of us to be lazy and play games and watch YouTube or Netflix because we use them to work-less, well the party will be over soon.

CSMA/CD - Collision Detection and CA Collision Avoidance. - FYI the article is from 2017!

for Non-WiFi, we don't use CD because all is bi-dirireactional and all communication have their own lane, no needed because there will never be a collision this is down to the port level on the switches, the algorithm might be still there but not use for it.

For WiFi, CD can never be good or work, because "Detecting" is pointless, it cannot work. we need to "Avoid" so it has functionality because is a shared lane or medium. CA is a necessity, now in 2026, we actually truly don't need it or use it as much since now WiFi and 802.11 functions as a switch with OFDM and with RF signal steering, at the PHY (physical level) the actual RF radio frequency side, it cancels out all other signals say from others devices near you and we "create" similar bi-directional lanes and functions similar as switches.

The article is good and represents how IETF operates a view (opinionated) of what happens inside. We actually need an IETF equivalent for AI. Its actually good and a meritocracy even though of late the Big companies try to corrupted or get their way, but academia is still the driver and steers it, and all votes count for when Working-Groups self organized. (my last IETF was 2018 so not sure how it is now in the 2020s)
