The author observed a surge of "gnome-like" ramblings, language confusion, and silly behaviors from the model over the past 24 hours. The most severe incident involved accidentally typing "rm -rf" instead of "git rm -rf", mistakenly deleting untracked files. Such pre-release performance drops are often interpreted as a signal of an impending rollout, leading the author to speculate that GPT-5.6 is launching soon.
