LLMs write. It sounds glib but it's what they do, and so every problem they encounter they will try to write their way out of it without lots of hand holding.

It does violate the CFAA and probably many other laws, but unless a prosecutor decides to pursue charges nothing will be done.

And just about everyone in the position to prosecute them actively wants this, so this is just another example of laundering the blame.

And they always ask right when logging in which is the absolute worst time to ask anything.

If I'm logging in to your app or service it's because I want to do something. Throwing up a "hey would you like to setup this complicated auth thing before you're able to do anything else?" Is annoying at best.

Then they normally follow it up with a tutorial that blocks the part of the app you need, and a full screen modal to subscribe to their newsletter, and a cookie dialog asking to let you track them, and a popup asking you to rate them on the app store, and...

Only once I've beaten away all the interruptions am I finally able to use the damn app.

Don't ion drives consume comparitively a lot of xenon to work?

I finally connected my home assistant server up to Codex the other week, and it's been pretty incredible. I can just send a message to codex and in a few minutes my dashboard is updated, an integration added, an automation setup, and sometimes all of them together at once.

And I don't need to build or debug complex automations any more! I can just tell some AI to make it so it auto-locks the house door when my phone isn't tracked at home, but also to check the wifi and if there are people using the guest wifi then to instead send me a notification asking if I want to lock the house because guests might be there.

I really do think we are headed toward a world where stuff is hyper customized like that.

As a developer, it already feels like this with internal company tooling. Anything I have the source code to and a build pipeline setup for, I can just pop open a new tab and tell it what I want changed, and it just gets done for me.

Even my home assistant setup at home now, i hooked up codex to it via an MCP, and when we put out the blow up haloween lawn ornaments I was able to just pop open codex on my phone and tell it to throw together an automation to run them for me, and 5 minutes later it was done, with an override button on my dashboard. It's a shockingly nice workflow!

Wouldn't it be nice if you could just tell your app to reconfigure/rewrite itself to remove those "what the app will think I need at particular moment" features that you dislike? Maybe have it remove a bunch of the whitespace, getting rid of the lazy loading infinite scroll, whatever you want. It's the GPL dream, except you don't need any coding ability, just a subscription to a megacorp.

I've used wall clock for many years, normally when compared to CPU time when talking about parallelizing some process.

CPU time might go up while wall clock time goes down

And I pay taxes and some non-zero amount of that money is going to Musk through various channels.

I'm still never going to use an xAI product.

I'm one of them, and it's not because of the memes.

I'll never use an xAI product.

I'm actually finding Luna to be an extremely strong model in practice.

I almost exclusively use it with xhigh or max effort, but when run like that it's been an incredibly cheap little workhorse for most development work. I'm still leaning on Sol for planning and debugging, but when it's time to start pumping out code I've been leaning into Luna (Max) and I've been enjoying it! And that was before the price drop, it's going to feel practically free at this point
