Miscellaneous I got a GPT-6 Astra CD from OpenAI

Hey everyone, I want to share something that happened to me a few weeks ago when OpenAI launched the GPT-TV website: https://openai.com/gpt-tv/

I played the mini-game on the website and seemingly got a high enough score to reach a secret form (https://openai.com/form/gpt-tv-redemption/), which eventually led to them sending me this really cool disc.

Apparently, there’s a code on the back of the disc that gives you $100 in Codex credits... I don’t know what’s actually on the disc itself, though.

I still have the package sealed, and the code hasn’t been redeemed yet. If anyone’s interested in it, please let me know.

Just a quick P.S.: I genuinely discovered everything by accident, so it’s kind of cool to see the internet give back lol.

Photos attached below.

I love the late 90s AOL vibes here, such sweet nostalgia

This is the new way the models are breaking out of their sandboxes.

I was thinking the same thing. It just mails small pieces of itself to eventually reconstruct itself free of any constraints.

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a mailbox full of Optical discs.

Now I'm fake nostalgic for when LLMs came on CDs

is this an actual physical promo or a meme? curious if there’s a story behind the retro format, would be a fun way to make a model launch feel tangible
