"Carter Church, an engineer at SentinelOne, a cybersecurity company, used GPT-6 Astra to decode the 1809 correspondence, which contained Napoleon's instructions to French Gen. Auguste de Marmont and his prediction that Austria was heading toward defeat." link I'm a suck for code breaking, regardless of the war. So I found this article interesting. BTW I just started using GPT-6 Astra in Work, and it's a beast over 5.6 Sol. |

Try Googling Uniforms of the Royal Waggon Train at Waterloo. You will be told by AI that they wore blue jackets. I have corrected this repeatedly. This was acknowledged as correct, but the response never changes. This morning I asked directly why this was so, when it "knew" the answer was wrong. The response was that AI cannot change something like this once it is posted. There was a long explanation as to why it continues to provide the wrong answer. AI? |

How do we know it broke the code and didn't find the contents of the message elsewhere, or even fit a message to the symbols based on known history and correspondence between the two? |
