Frontier model flubs recognizing a backwards 'a', spawning 'humanity's last line of defense' joke

Blogger zakelfassi shared a chat where he asked a frontier model to identify a visually flipped character. The model stumbled, producing a garbled "a ( str ) ɒ". He quipped that while Bernie Sanders calls for a pause on AI before we lose control, "humanity's last line of defense is a backwards 'a'" — poking fun at how frontier models still fail at trivial OCR-style visual tricks.
