If you came at it from the perspective of imitating what the human brain does, we now have a very very powerful speech center and short term memory, and vision catching up. The other parts are missing. I‘m sure that’s being heavily researched.

I‘m using mostly the browser automations for things like that now. Same for research - ChatGPT is banned from reading many pages, but Codex can read anything I can.

But isn’t it funny that Cloudflare is blocking AI on their pages, but on the other hand is researching and marketing things like „you can put a browser in a CF worker“


Their browser workers won’t get blocked. Same with all big vendors, keep out small competitors enjoy access yourself and sell it to a select few partners.

Have you? It’s a dumb model that gets a lot wrong. Codex voice is IMO only good for when I cannot dictate into the good models. The delay introduced by letting it work with a good model kills it for me.

If author runs the local model for privacy reasons, then I don't understand why they give Telegram access to all their conversations. It's well known that Telegram doesn't end-to-end encrypt bot accounts.

The beauty of this is that you can just swap out the platform and everything remains as it's the same backend. You make a really good point, one that I haven't really considered, but I also only have so many hours in the day to be fiddling around with stuff.

I think I'd use Discord instead. Clankers are happy to set it all up for you.

Discord is even worse than Telegram in the privacy aspect though!?

Depends what actors you trust. They are equally bad but personally I‘m way more comfortable with the Discord story.

The Amphetamine app from the App Store keeps a MacBook awake even with the lid closed.

You need an app for that?

I know right? On Linux for example GNOME needs an extension and only KDE seems to have a handy toggle available from the get go. It seems the normal is to NOT make a feature like this easily available.

I guess `caffeinate` doesn't go that far because it can easily lead to overheating.

They are better at many things I‘m a novice at. At least at the operational level. I can’t rely on the semantics being fully correct because they tend to get subtle things wrong or just don’t ask. Like tax forms - not a good idea to put them on full auto. You‘ll leave money on the table.

Codex with computer use, yes. GP mentioned it.

> Codex requires you run the desktop app and additional authentication requirements. The result of this has been codex is almost always relegated to fleet worker rather than orchestrator.

I’m often using my MBP but also the Mac Studio remotely via the mobile app. What’s missing in your mind?


One of the Codex employees on Twitter promised (threatened?) that the next gen of Codex will be cloud focused, and less local. I wonder now if that means it will be a more powerful GPT Work.

I got a 404 when heading to the examples.

I haven’t used Haskell much. I thought to try it with agentic help, but then read this post that its compilation times might make it unviable. But what’s your experience?

I mean it is compiled language, but it is fine IMHO. I use `ghcide` which is a script for `ghci` (the repl) if an agent wants access.
