    Holy crap there was a Codex reset like what, yesterday? And I'm already about halfway through my usage. I've been trying out Astra, but I'm surprised it's burned through so many tokens already. I'm on the Max plan.

    omgf I just found an answer to a constant friction I've had for YEEEARS. It's annoying to have to drag the finder window to a different desktop just so I could drag and drop files into some program window there. I assumed Mac just sucks TIL you can just do this

    Anyone else feel this way? I get turned off when I watch companies/brands/developers getting competitive and putting their competitors down. Just saw a tweet from a screen recording company giving shit to another company and kinda ruined their brand for me.

    Honestly, a pause in AI development wouldn't hurt us. We haven't even figured out how to squeeze all the value out of 2025-era models. If we had some constraints we'd be more creative with our AI usage but we don't even get the opportunity

    If this bill passes, with 100% certainty, this is the chain of events. American recession. ➡️ Global recession ➡️ Chinese AI research continues. ➡️ Early adopters switch to Chinese models. ➡️ Everyone else follows. ➡️ AI usage continues, but with models US can’t regulate.
