GPT-5.2 Can't Identify a Serial Killer & Was The Year of Agents A Lie? EP99.28-5.2

<p>Join Simtheory: <a href="https://simtheory.ai">https://simtheory.ai</a></p><p>GPT-5.2 is here and... it's not great. In this episode, we put OpenAI's latest model through its paces and discover it can't even identify a convicted serial killer when the text literally says "serial killer." We compare it head-to-head with Claude Opus and Gemini 3 Pro (spoiler: they win). Plus, we reflect on the "Year of Agents" that wasn't, why your barber switched to Grok, Disney's billion-dollar investment to use Mickey Mouse in Sora, and why Mustafa Suleyman should probably be fired. Also featuring: the GPT-5.2 diss track where the model brags about capabilities it doesn't have.</p><p>CHAPTERS:</p><p>00:00 Intro - GPT-5.2 Drops + Details<br>01:25 First Impressions: Verbose, Overhyped, Vibe-Tuned<br>02:52 OpenAI's Rushed Response to Gemini 3<br>03:24 Tool Calling Problems &amp; Agentic Failures<br>04:14 Why Anthropic's Models Just Work Better<br>06:31 The Barber Test: Real Users Are Switching to Grok<br>10:00 The Ivan Milat Vision Test (Serial Killer Edition)<br>17:04 Year of Agents Retrospective: What Went Wrong<br>25:28 The Path to True Agentic Workflows<br>31:22 GPT-5.2 Diss Track (Yes, Really)<br>43:43 Why We're Still Optimistic About AI<br>50:29 Google Bringing Ads to Gemini in 2026<br>54:46 Disney Pays $1B to Use Mickey Mouse in Sora<br>56:57 LOL of the Week: Mustafa Suleyman's Sad Tweets<br>1:00:35 Outro &amp; Full GPT-5.2 Diss Track</p><p>Thanks for listening.
