The events of the last 6 months in technology are arguable amongst the most important in human history
The tools now increasingly exist for recursive self improvement of models & agents
We are likely in very early lift off & exponential
Largely unnoticed outside of tech
Codex Usage limits remain disappointing.
The reason we all switched initially before 5.5, was for that unlimited feel.
You could comfortably get 6/ 7 days of work. Full time. But it’s now 4 /7
With proper focus on context engineering.
Let’s hope 5.6 is much more efficient.
> … [W]e keep finding things that are mysterious, even unsettling. We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience. We find evidence of introspection.

@Danhightower This is one of my favorite tips too. One other nuance is that it becomes 10x your basis and your basis is taxable. So if you think it could be a $750m exit, then max it out. But if you think it'll only be $50m, better to convert it at ~$5m valuation.
OpenAI have secretly adjusted our limits.
Last week before limit reset. I was using Xhigh all day.
5 day straight i couldn’t get my usage below 55% weekly usage.
Since Yesterday, I’ve done 40% of my quota, out of nowhere.
So whats going on ?
