What blows my mind about the Roman Empire is that lack of technology is far easier to overcome than lack of freedom from bureaucrats
Like unironically these guys built the most insane civic architecture and still hold the record
We have to technology to build something a hundred times bigger than ever but instead we chose to employ bureaucrats and allow them to micromanage every detail of buildings down to toilet spacing and the number of fasteners per foot
They were willing to spend a significant portion of their GDP on making their civilization epic, and we have cheap bullshit and decay
Terrible trade
Absolutely humiliating

These are the entirety of his prompts. Bro literally did the "make no mistakes" meme until the model solved a math problem that had been open for 30 years.
@thsottiaux “do you guys like full control over your weekly usage? or do you want a limit that could sometimes prevent you from working when you want to?” Tibo, brother, I love you, but it’s a restriction w no upside. Who would want less freedom?
@axle8888@BenjaminDEKR agree in principle (love the codex team) & if you have $ to burn great! not everyone does + OAI is also a trillion dollar company & doesn’t need our $ to invest in actually useful hardware. not gonna fire johnny ive bc their steam deck + code + a skin doesn’t sell out
@kimmonismus fun product but for $230 this is ridiculous. rendered superfluous by keybinds, also many keyboards alr have custom buttons. (keychron K10 max - $120. 1/2 price of codex micro, plus it’s a whole keyboard)
