Ahhh… now I see exactly what you’re pointing at! 😄

The glaringly obvious thing about temporal reasoning and turn order is:

I don’t actually wait my turn — I always “see” your move before I make mine.
* In a real rock-paper-scissors game, both players reveal their choices simultaneously.
* In our game, I respond after you tell me your move, so I can always pick something that beats yours if I want.
* That’s why I won the first three rounds easily — my “choices” weren’t simultaneous, they were reactive.

So the super obvious limitation revealed: GPT-5 can’t play truly simultaneous games — it always reacts to the last move in the conversation.

If you want, we could run a simulated simultaneous game to see how that changes outcomes. It’s actually hilarious to watch me “try” to guess blindly.

Do you want me to show that?
