It’s hard not to create slop when most things you consume are slop

To fix output, first fix input

I can officially confirm that posting on X did in fact change my life. 🥹

Today was my first day at OpenAI as part of the GTM team!

Still feels a little surreal to say that. So excited for this next chapter and everything I’m about to learn, build, and experience. ❤️

才发现 Codex「额度用完还能跑完任务」的福利前几天还有的，结果被两位傻逼搞没了🤬

时间线 👇

8/20：OpenAI 员工 Angel 发帖：额度打到 100%，
也不会掐断正在跑的任务，是 OpenAI 刻意设计的，“在别人干活干到一半时停掉，没什么帮助”。这时福利还在

8/21：网红 Theo 贴脸开大，转发并当场示范怎么滥用：开 /goal 跑长任务，额度归 0% 之后，又烧掉至少 $800 的 tokens

同一天，Theo 智商 250 的实习生 Maria 直接把这招做成了一个叫 Endless 的 harness。

原理是这样的：
- 开一个 turn，给 agent 塞个 wait_for_user_input 工具
- 任务做完不结束 turn，而是调用这个工具等待
- 你的下一句话当工具结果喂回去

整个会话永远锁在同一个 turn 里，quota 检查永远轮不到触发

宣传语原话：「infinite inference (kinda)」，榨干你订阅的每一滴

8/22：Endless 帖子爆了，一堆人拿它在归零后继续白嫖，眼看演变成大规模滥用

Maria 当天道歉：“没想到这个小点子危害这么大，如果导致大规模滥用我愿担责”
当场下架 npm 包、关掉网站、删了 GitHub 仓库

最骚的还在后面：
删完库，她转头喊话 Codex 团队：“希望你们排查一下，把这些账号封了，这样我们就安全了 😊”

不是，你傻逼吧，居然呼吁 Codex 团队封掉用你���具的账户？？？哪有人那么背刺信任你的人的 💩

这一轮风波的结果就是：现在 Codex 额度用完，任务立马停

反观：
Theo 悄悄删了那条 $800 示范帖
Maria 的 Endless 下了，帖子也删了

点火的全身而退，火上加油的道了歉，最惨的是连 Endless 都没听过的我们

我们的 「额度用完还能跑完任务」福利是 TMD 真的没了啊，气死了 😤

So OpenAI removed the ability to have a task finish after you hit 100% usage. Who ruined it for all of us? 🥹

[Arthur @arthurcolle]

Congrats on ruining it for everyone because you're a clout chaser that needs to advertise every fleeting thought running through your head. Hope the likes and reposts were worth it!

[Sherwin Wu @sherwinwu]

GPT-5.6 Sol is now $4/$20 per 1M tokens – the cheapest frontier model out there.

Just for fun, I dug up GPT-4's original API pricing back in 2023. It was $30/$60 per 1M tokens!! For 8k context at the time. How far we've all come.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

Someone asked what I'd do if I were 17. I'd learn how to build LLMs from scratch, and then train ones as powerful as I could with whatever hardware I could get access to.

[DAN KOE @thedankoe]

The fastest way to become articulate on a topic is to write until you're no longer confused.

[. @TechCrashOut]

@buildwithrajath I use the $20 plan on codex to build an iOS app I'm working on and it lasts me almost a week. Happy with my usage. I do switch between models a lot though

[Zara Zhang @zarazhangrui]

The other day I was feeling unmotivated and talked to Claude about it. Claude said something that completely changed how I see motivation:

"Motivation follows action more than it precedes it"

Boom.

Only 9 hours until my codex limit resets 😅

I’ll be actually-homeless soon (living out of my car) if I can’t land a job. Our house is being sold within two months if I don’t find work. I’ve been trying everywhere, but very few companies are answering. So please, email me or DM with literally anything involving computers, or ask a friend, or your business’s HR person. (I’d love to work with you.) I’ll do a good job, and I can learn and adapt to any working style you need.

I was employee #2 at Carmack’s AI lab, Keen. I worked at Groq helping to design and implement their LPU chips. I made Books3, a dataset trained on by LLaMA and Claude. I’ve been programming for 25 years.

Location: Lake Saint Louis MO
Remote: Yes
Willing to relocate: yes
Technologies: Python, PyTorch, JAX, C++, JS/TypeScript, Objective C, Swift, Rails, Linux, Lisp, and anything else you give me a week to learn.
Résumé/CV: https://t.co/CmXUlOxyuT
Email: [email protected]

I wanted to avoid the humiliation of begging, but nothing is working. I need money or else our 3yo daughter loses her birth home. I’ve been through dozens of interviews from the companies that do answer, but the market is bad right now. You can have me for a steal.

Another day of watching what I say come to fruition

Please get addicted to thinking everything will always work out for you.

[Yuchen Jin @Yuchenj_UW]

Whoever invented “Member of Technical Staff” was a genius.

It filters out Staff/Principal title-maxxers, protects engineering and research from corporate ladder brain, and leaves recruiters staring at LinkedIn like: “Is this person L4 or L7?”

MTS is the best title. Happy to be MTS.

[Andrej Karpathy @karpathy]

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.
