Asking Codex to help make a game gets you a 10-week science-project roadmap

A Reddit user asked Codex (GPT 6.1 Sol) for help building a simple game and received a 10-week, science-project-style development roadmap instead.
The author joked, "It's a game, bro. Not a science project!", adding that from experience a 10-week estimate really means 20. The post also references rumors that OpenAI may soon publish 400 papers on math problems it solved — a funny contrast with the over-engineered game plan.
