Can OpenAI's o1-mini Decipher my "Secret Messages"?
I test o1-mini's ability to break relatively easy ciphers that I "cleverly" came up with at 7 AM. Is it impressive? Maybe only a little bit right now, but in the future, is this a problem we need to seriously consider? Watch and make your own judgement!
