Artist Sterling Crispin complains that OpenAI's Astra has "hemorrhaged IQ over the last week," feeling like Abbott and Costello's "Who's on First?" when used inside Codex, and says he has no idea what's going on at OpenAI—while Anthropic's Opus 5.5 is king again. He shares the classic 1945 skit to describe the model's confusing behavior.
