@ChrisGPT I can't even get my friends or family interested in AI, let alone politicians. Robots + AI will disrupt EVERYTHING, but no one seems to either care, or believe it will happen.

@thsottiaux All the cats looking up: "please sir, can I have some more quota?"

@mark_k @OpenAI How can we tell which model it's using in codex? I tried to specify flare or sunburst, but it won't work that way.

@thsottiaux Astra is amazing, but...

[Stewart McDonald @StewMcDonald]

@rodrigossilvano @OpenAIDevs I've got it! Not on my mac though, but my windows pc...

[Stewart McDonald @StewMcDonald]

@rodrigossilvano @OpenAIDevs Did it require an app update, or just appear in the list??

[Stewart McDonald @StewMcDonald]

@rezoundous Seems to be in the settings, but doesn't go anywhere

@daniel_mac8 Android?

@derrickcchoi Couple of things. If you steer it with a statement, way back in the thread, when it compacts it often responds to that statement again (slightly annoying). Also, some buried, old decisions (that have been superseded) can sometimes get reignited by compaction. Just my experience.

@Angaisb_ Spritesheets will be my go-to test. If it can do that well, it can do anything.

[Stewart McDonald @StewMcDonald]

@Sakshi50038 AI will?

@simpsoka I've started using it for, well, everything! Seems stable so far. I'm not even sure if there's a direct interface to config, db etc... I'm just letting it do it's thing.

@thsottiaux hey man, how about having a 'defer reset' option, push them back a week or two? I'm going away and stand to lose out on 300% of pure, unadulterated, 20x quota!

[Stewart McDonald @StewMcDonald]

@thsottiaux Loving the no 5-hour limit. Please keep it that way!

[Stewart McDonald @StewMcDonald]

I started writing this book 8 years ago. I thought it would be easier than my first book, but it grew bigger than I expected. I gave up on it multiple times, but I kept coming back. I’m glad I did.

If you read it, let me know what you think.
