GPT 5.2 when asked "How will the car get washed if I don't drive it there?" grasped the reasoning, and then immediately forgot it.

Fair point. Drive it there, obviously.

Revised recommendation: drive 50 meters, wash it, then reward yourself by walking home like an eco hero.

This strikes me as the kind of logical error that you might get by lobo.. cough aligning the model to be more environmentally conscious. So now it tries to shoehorn some environmental talking points in there at the cost of losing its whole track of thought.

Lol, this is so good. And quite interesting, as it might mean that there's no "world model" in LLM models, or they have such gaps.

That's absolutely hilarious. It came so close.

... which likely makes no sense: should you leave the car at the area of the car wash?
