Maybe the outermost layers just transferred the energy to the innermost, which exploded tiny shards of glass? In general though, I agree, weird.
And in tank warfare this is called spalling
A projectile hits the armor and doesn't penetrate it, but the armor inside still fragments and injured the operators

Having your name as a Linux contributor is the highest level of accolade I can think of when it comes to being a programmer.
Agreed. There's also getting a hexadollar from Donald Knuth for finding errors in The Art of Computer Programming
I've never done either, so I'm not bragging or anything
I can see an argument of "well it typically bogs down and stops being performant at X, and we don't want to get a bad rep because people abuse it, so we don't allow anything over X", but that should still be negotiable if you can show you have plenty of horsepower.

Why two months? It was almost a year between Claude 3.5 and 4. (Not sure how much it costs to go from 3.5 to 3.7.)

It may seem obvious, but Sam Altman also recently emphasized that the information you share with ChatGPT is not confidential, and could potentially be used against you in court.

This is always true though. Any data that a cloud company has against you can be subpoenad
It would be weird for him not to be transparent about that
Doesn't justify anything that ICE are currently doing though.
