    openai can't be serious about codex cloud. it's utterly useless, can't even pull a github issue from the repository. how do people use this? no scheduled tasks either. anthropic is years ahead

    @Abba_kakaa That is the question that is yet to be answered. Why did the team decided to use a tool that ain't reliable/trusted when credible tools like Sol incinerator were already available? Why use a website that immediately went down after the hack. A website that has few github commits. If the team didn't do it deliberately and it wa accidental then I can say they don't deserve to launch a project because this is incompetency of the highest order.

    Anthropic should be worried because OpenAI is competing with unprecedented speed across model efficiency, user distribution, and security architecture. GPT-5.6 shipped this month in three tiers named Sol, Terra, and Luna, with Sam Altman stating that Sol is 54% more token-efficient on coding tasks than the model it replaces. This efficiency metric alters agent economics by directly changing unit costs for Codex-style workflows at scale, though independent benchmarks are still needed to verify if real-world implementation matches internal testing claims. OpenAI already possesses massive distribution leverage as $OpenAI Codex has crossed 5 million weekly users. ChatGPT Work is launching to run autonomously across apps and files for hours at a stretch, distinguishing this effort from typical vaporware agent launches through existing scale before broad availability. The next competitive variable is whether ChatGPT Work pricing will undercut Cowork or Claude enterprise plans once general availability lands. Security standards are also advancing rapidly as OPENAI Codex CLI now encrypts sub-agent prompts by default. Developers discovered this change through a GitHub issue thread rather than official release notes, generating 159 points on Hacker News overnight. Public scrutiny of coding agent architecture is occurring in community forums before reaching documentation, raising questions about whether platforms like Claude Code, Cursor, and Cline will adopt similar default encryption or leave it as an optional feature.

    This is insane๐Ÿ˜ฑ Every AI agent you've used this year has the same flaw. Nobody talks about it because it doesn't sound like a big deal. It has no memory of you. Not because the model is weak โ€” GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, the reasoning is all there. The problem is structural: every session starts blank. New chat, new agent, zero context of the meeting you had Tuesday, the decision made in standup, the bug you fixed at midnight. So you become the memory. You re-explain. You re-paste. You re-load your own life into a chatbot, every single day, forever. screenpipe flips that. It runs locally, watches what you actually do across your screen and calls โ€” fully opt-in, fully excludable, nothing leaves your device by default โ€” and turns it into memory your agents can query. Not another prompt template. An actual record of what happened, available the moment you need it. 20K+ GitHub stars. Fully open source. Already running inside teams at Google, NVIDIA, and Adobe. The agent was never the bottleneck. The memory was. What's the one thing you wish your AI never had to be told twice?

    Andrej Karpathy exposed one of the biggest problems with AI coding. LLMs make the same coding mistakes over and over: โ€ข Over-engineer simple problems โ€ข Ignore existing code patterns โ€ข Add dependencies nobody asked for If the mistakes are predictable... They're preventable. That's why a single CLAUDE.md file built around his coding principles just crossed 192k GitHub stars. No framework. No IDE plugin. Just one markdown file that teaches Claude how to think before it writes code. The biggest upgrade to AI coding isn't a new model. It's better instructions.

  • potencytoact
    Omar Farooq (@potencytoact) reported

    The GitHub issue was filed by ignatremizov. He is not asking OpenAI to revert encrypted delivery, only to add a plaintext audit copy of the delegated task, persisted in the local rollout history. One correction to a claim he made on HN, that the prompts already pass through the client for the terminal UI to display, which would make the fix a trivial persistence change. Other users disputed this, and the envelope PR settles it: the payload arrives at the client already encrypted. Only the routing header and child results pass through readable. The plaintext never touches your machine, so restoring auditability requires OpenAI's backend to send something it currently withholds. If OpenAI declines, it will be a decision about the backend, not an oversight in the client.

    @JespernissenSEO Sure! - It connects to Google Search Console to see how your pages are performing. - It finds the pages with the biggest opportunities (high impressions, low clicks, declining rankings, keyword cannibalization, stale content, etc.). - It decides which fixes are likely to have the biggest SEO impact. - It writes those changes directly into your CMS (currently WordPress, Webflow, or GitHub). - It keeps a changelog so you can see exactly what changed and whether rankings improved. In short: It's like having an AI SEO employee that: looks for opportunities, decides what to fix, fixes them, and tracks whether they worked. I'm slowly adding other modules like writing, refreshing content, etc. Slowly but surely getting there!

    Claude Fable ran a business for six days. Revenue: $0.06. Ben Awad gave it a VPS, a Claude Max subscription, and one mission: create a company with as little help from him as possible. At 01:09, Fable's first plan asks for $250. Ben tells it to be more autonomous, and the model decides it no longer needs the money. By 05:31, it has named itself Fable Labs and its website is live. Ben's review is brutal: "This is utter slop." At 08:59, he discovers the system hasn't even been using Fable. Opus has spent days getting stuck, requesting accounts, and waiting for human help. Ben fixes the routing and gives Fable the audit and decision-making role, while Opus and Sonnet handle execution. Across the six days, the stack produces: > a company dashboard > a GitHub account > a human-assistance system > a machine storefront > paid API endpoints > several attempts at distribution Then, at 14:01, the dashboard reports its first revenue. Six cents. Two paid API calls hit the storefront. Ben checks the transaction and concludes it wasn't a real customer. An automated indexer was validating the service. The experiment exposes the problem with an open-ended instruction like "run a business." The agent has to choose a product, request accounts, get around CAPTCHAs, find distribution, manage infrastructure, and decide what useful work even means. The 25-site workflow below gives Fable one repeatable job: > choose a micro-niche > collect Pinterest references > generate the brief and copy > create visual assets with Higgsfield > build the HTML and CSS > deploy through Netlify > record the result in JSON > log failures and continue > move to the next niche Fable doesn't have to invent a new company every morning. It has 25 sites to ship.

    Harness engineering > loop engineering in 2026. Everyone optimizes the agent loop. Almost nobody designs for loop failure. Production agents donโ€™t fail for a patient founder. They fail for a stranger who will never open a GitHub issue. If you canโ€™t observe tool calls, cap spend, and bound blast radius, you donโ€™t have an agent product. You have a demo.

    4 CHEAP COMPUTERS JUST DID WHAT USED TO REQUIRE A $10,000+ AI MACHINE. The entire build is free on GitHub. Everyone says you need an expensive workstation to run large AI models. Turns outโ€ฆ โ€ฆyou might just need 4 small computers. Hereโ€™s what happened: โ†’ 4 Framework mainboards โ†’ ~$8,000 total build โ†’ Clustered into one AI system โ†’ Ran DeepSeek R1 locally โ†’ No enterprise server required The crazy part? This isnโ€™t new technology. Itโ€™s Beowulf clusteringโ€”a 30-year-old supercomputing idea brought back for local AI. One Ansible command. The cluster builds itself. Runs benchmarks. Starts serving models. No manual configuration. Even betterโ€ฆ The creator didnโ€™t just show the success. He published the failures too. โ€ข Where scaling breaks โ€ข When prompt processing slows down โ€ข Why four machines donโ€™t always behave like one โ€ข How it compares to Apple Silicon and enterprise hardware Every benchmark is public. Every part is available. Every script is open source. Last year, hardware in this price range struggled to generate 4 tokens per second. Today, the same budget can run models that once belonged only in data centers. The biggest AI trend isnโ€™t bigger models. Itโ€™s ordinary hardware becoming extraordinary infrastructure. Bookmark this before AI clusters become the new home lab standard.

    @CampOfTheTaint @CarlBads69 I'll explain for fun, doesn't matter if you like, dislike or even care about Bitcoin. (this is all my opinion by the way) Bitcoin is an Open Source software that was put on the internet, developed and posted, anonymously. Anyone can write code for it but you have to get everyone else to run the changes you might want to make. Current time line. Nov 2021, an upgrade was proposed and added called Taproot. Jan 2023, an exploit was found and used to put "Jpegs" and other such data on the blockchain. Debate slowly built, some say it's an exploit, while others say its innovation. A group of "Bitcoin Developers/Maintainers" called Bitcoin Core seemly refused to address proposed fixes to these exploits and banned some long time developers from Github, email lists, etc. October 2025 another contested change was made to a Bitcoin Client and released called Core version 30 with little support, while support grew for an alternate Bitcoin Client called Knots. December 2025 a User Activate Soft Fork (BIP) Bitcoin Improvement Proposal is published. Currently 15-20% of the network now runs this and about August 7th the soft fork will activate and the Bitcoin Network will have to make a choice during a 2 week period. (Opinion) One side against the soft fork seems to be wealthy wall street players, big corporations, and paid influencers. Other side (BIP-110) seems to be more grassroots "Plebs" average people. There is a mechanism in Bitcoin that allows a small but determined group of people the set the rules. This is kind of a defense against larger centralized mining companies with lots of money. The meme is about trimming the fat off the Bitcoin network and only allowing the smallest amount of data necessary (calories) to make a transaction happen. Either way, expect all hell to break lose starting August 7th and maybe lasting a couple weeks. I don't know what will happen, could see violent price moves, mostly down, in my opinion, until consensus is right and one side surrenders. I support BIP-110.
