@mattyglesias Even if you accept all the assumptions here, there aren’t enough resources on earth to bring this about. You’d need Dyson-sphere-esque capex + infra. There are fundamental limits of compute imposed by planetary resources, and we’d hit that limit before this dystopia unfolds.

@jonathan_wilke Codex.app and Claude Desktop have this to some extent, but the rest of the UX idioms miss a lot of the things that terminals have: Cmd-N for a new window, Cmd-T for a new tab. Terminal history, history search. But for heaven's sake, make it pretty.

@jonathan_wilke I'd like an almost browser-like experience. Non-monospaced fonts for agentic dialog, monospaced fonts for code or similar text, built-in support for markdown that can seamlessly pop open in a side-tray.

@struggler_rick @thsottiaux It would be really nice if it was on the Usage page instead of the app. chatgpt.com/codex/cloud/se…

Code may be ~free but complexity isn’t.

@123skely Weird. I’m on 3mg twice a week and aside from being way less hungry, I am completely normal. Down over 25lb too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

On its third attempt tonight, Marblehead Town Meeting approved an “MBTA Communities–compliant” district largely centered on the 125-year-old Tedesco Country Club, meeting 3A requirements on paper while all but assuring no new housing would be built. This comment says it all.

@seconds_0 I don’t see how. The RHR side effects can be pretty brutal. Pretty much anyone with any form of anxiety (half the population) is gonna nope out the moment they feel like they’re jumping out of their skin starting at hour 24 of dose 1.

A friend at Apple told me that over the past couple weeks, their team got access to Claude with a $300/day token budget. This is global sourcing on the business side, not engineering. I’m also hearing that when directors ask for backfill, senior leadership is asking what the

@buccocapital Shared it with a few folks. You nicely captured what I’ve always called “the inverted pyramid of produuctivity” where there’s like 20 people who do push paper for every person doing useful work in places like banks.

Anthropic charges double token rates during peak hours, but the session timer starts on first message. So I have a cron job that sends Claude "good morning" at 6AM to burn the 5hr session window while I sleep, giving me a fresh session right when peak pricing ends.

@tjparker Oh? Is there a bunch of 351(k) generics available in the United States I didn’t hear about? What might those be besides insulin glargine? GLP1s won’t come thru the ANDA pathway which means they’re unlikely to happen for Americans.
