every organization makes decisions based on reality assumptions that largely go untested.

[Adam Shuaib @adamshuaib]

A strange pattern in the lives of outliers is that 99% of projects they worked on were failures.

The output of an exceptional mind looks almost indistinguishable from the output of a crazy person. Hundreds of failed prototypes, notebooks full of dead-end theories, patents filed on inventions that went nowhere, companies started and quickly folded.

Except that one of the ideas in the pile is correct, and they were willing to be wrong 100 times to find it. These people have an inability to let the embarrassment of a wrong idea stop them from generating new ones.

Most people produce one idea, become emotional, defend it and stop. Outlier talents produce a thousand and let 99% die.

@draparente Show us some examples of what it's generated.

@outsource_ Any chance you can add some of the killer features from this repo?

Some very, very helpful tooling/capabilities I've not seen elsewhere, but are *enormously* practical:

@jxnlco Any idea if Codex is having issues with usage reporting or other problems? I've got a max plan, and at my full throttle use about 10-15% of it per day.

Had maybe 80% of the weekly quota remaining, left for a few hours, came back to a halted session and 0 left.

This has to be an error. Absolutely no way this is valid. But who/how to send a ticket or report or . . . ?

@_HermesAgent is transforming my Google Drive from a giant general purpose collection bin of 40k+ documents/records into a structured, useful gold mine. 6 hours deep in non-stop processing in the background, and still going strong.

Unbelievably useful product, @Teknium

Just spent five minutes (maybe ten) carefully drafting an initial prompt for a thread in the text box. Had to think it through carefully, as it's outside my area of strenghts/familiarity. Sent it.

A little red error message appears above the text box, "Select a folder first." Prompt is gone.

Sometimes those things are almost ephemeral, and very hard to get right.

Having to redo it isn't the end of the world, but man, would be great if there was some way to retain the prompt even if there's a configuration or setup/environment error on the user's part.

It's also entirely possible that I might be the only one that's going to ever do this.

@DrBeavisAI @OpenAI You may discover that downloading the local Codex app, giving it access to your local folders/files, that your overall experience and capability set is radically enhanced.

I've found using Codex for non-code work is actually outstanding, and way, way higher utility than chat.

@HeyGen AvatarV

Time for some experimentation

[HeyGen @HeyGen]

We solved character consistency. Forever

Avatar V captures you in 15 seconds and holds your identity across every video.

Change the look, outfit, and setting to create unlimited versions of you.

RT + comment "AvatarV" below and I'll DM 100 credits to test it out (must follow)

@morganlinton @0xSero Would you speculate that it would be up to the task of taking an old website and generating the same pages again, but with an updated design language/design system?

Could it handle something akin to systematically replacing 50-ish website pages?

[Jay Weeldreyer @jayweeldreyer]

One of the coolest guys I know always called it the Brownian Motion of Luck. I've benefitted from it *enormously*, he has, and honestly--a lot of my favorite people have always just lived this way.

It's almost like an alternative way of life, nearly diametricaly opposed to the regimented planner perspective.

@SenWarren Bezos spends $15B, develops a space program, creates new technologies.

California spends $15B to build high speed rail, zero miles delivered.

You're proposing to move capital from the best capital allocator to the worst, one rife with fraud and overspending.

@nicolekcha @d4m1n My brain was reading it as "YO CLASSIFIED INTERNAL."

Seemed more fitting for some reason

[Jay Weeldreyer @jayweeldreyer]

@FactoryAI Languages that retain control of critical structures and systems of power, stubbornly embedded.
Totally out of sync with the modern world.
Unchanging, unchangeable.
Utter disregard for the generations that follow.
"Legacy" is too kind.
These are Boomer languages.

@Gentleman_Ways These standards are worth *extending*.

The work is never finished.

@bitsko_xt @Fried_rice Interesting. why not?
