Wait until we get the Strategic Ape Reserve, then you’ll see!

Gromit facepalming (facepawing?) could be the techtakes mascot.

Different company, but GPT-5 is basically OT9, innit?

Yeah…that could be a real deal breaker. Doesn’t this give them the right to MITM all traffic coming through the browser?

It looks fun!

My inner grouch wanted to add:

There were a metric shit ton of hand-crafted, artisanal, exhaustive full-text walkthroughs for the OG Pokemon games even twenty years ago. They’re all part of the training corpus, so all you have to do to make this work is automate prompt generation based on current state and then capture the most likely key words in the LLM’s outputs for conversion to game commands. Plus, a lot of “intelligence” could be hiding in the invisible “glue” that ties the whole together, up to and including an Actual Individual.

I’d be shocked if this worked for a 2025 release

I hear you. I feel weirdly guilty about watching this coming for so long.
