It still absolutely floors me that humans were able to figure out the universe sufficiently such that we were able to turn this seemingly physics-defying miracle into an ordinary, everyday fact of normal travel. What a world we live in.
out of curiosity, I've been trying this with GPT-5.5 - not even the Pro version, just Thinking.
it's consistently either one-shotting them or getting it on the 2nd try, & it's thinking for less than 10 seconds on average
bad news for the "it's just a stochastic parrot" crowd
kind of blows my mind that, in the past, you'd have needed an entire publishing arm to commit months of work and tons of money to do this, and now you can invoke a single Codex skill, walk away, and come back 20 minutes later to a finished and polished book
insanity
fun use of Codex: taking old books that were never translated to English ("Todas as cartas", by Clarice Lispector) and:
- spinning up 6 sub-agents to translate the entire thing start to finish
- performing QA checks on translation quality
- generate cover art
- compile into epub
@felixrieseberg could you take a look at mobile AskUserQuestion functionality? doesnโt currently seem to display, and it effectively crashes the conversation
from my 8 year old niece:
"did you know it was Rick Astley's birthday the other day?"
me: "... how did you know that?"
her: "I heard it on the radio"
the kids are alright ๐
Claude, when reviewing something written by Codex:
"It's doing the GPT thing where it mostly agrees with you and repackages what was already said, but there are a couple of useful points in there..."
nano banana:
"create a screenshot of what the youtube homepage would look like 10 years from now if things continue along the path of everything becoming ridiculously clickbaity"
@danshipper@AnthropicAI@every managed to somehow hit the maximum conversation length before it even got to outputting a single character of its actual response.
incredible. anthropic what are you doing
@R_Sharfuddin_@andrew_carter i would love to hear more about this! Tyler does SO much stuff that it almost feels like if someone invented him as a character in a novel, we'd end up dismissing it as "unrealistic", because how could anyone sustain that level of input AND output without having five clones?
