Nothing changed about DAL-e itself — these days are its maker's news:

  • 11 Aug Its maker's news lifted the score 1.21 — the board noticed.
  • 15 Aug Its maker's news lifted the score 0.57 — the board noticed.
  • 2 Sept Its maker's news lifted the score 0.65 — the board noticed.

One reading per day since 3 Aug, when the current ordering began. The rank above is the reading for 11 Sept, taken against 101 robots — the standing itself is live, so a robot added since then counts there and not here yet.
