i'm obsessed with AI DIY projects.
my favorite one right now is this broccoli farmer in hokkaido, japan using Codex to run his 100-hectare farm
this guy never studied agriculture, never inherited land, started out as a civil servant.
but he wanted his farm to run better, and instead of paying an engineering firm he couldn't afford, he just built the tools himself.
here's what he's built on his own:
> remote control of his greenhouse vents from a chat app, wired up with an esp32 board, a motor driver, and cloudflare workers
> a bot that checks each greenhouse's temperature and opens the vents when it gets too hot
> satellite crop-health data laid over a map of his own fields
> an airtable base linking his plots, tasks, materials, and sensors
> wiring diagrams of his electrical panels, generated from a photo
stuff like this used to be locked behind machinery and engineers only the big agribusinesses could pay for.
but this legend just breezed past all of it with a laptop and Codex lol
ChatGPT is getting better at remembering what matters: your preferences, constraints, and the context that helps you pick things up where you left off. And with memory summaries, you can review and steer what it remembers.
Rolling to all users over the next few weeks, starting today with Plus and Pro users in the US.
Long-form writing works better with a little more space.
Now you can edit longer pieces in full-screen and save them to your Library to come back to later.

Every bug in @ChatGPTapp is getting fixed
With the help of codex (and the rest of the lovely team and their codexes) along with a 7pm iced americano there will be zero bugs
This is a formal request for tiny nits, error states, broken ui, etc
The tinier the better!
Paperwork is better when you can just talk through it.

Have you ever thought to yourself: I really don't want to make this PowerPoint.
Good news: ChatGPT can now create and edit presentations directly in PowerPoint.
