When I mused that the peasants are perhaps taxed too little, I was speaking for only myself. Not the King, who I confer with but monthly.
Yet the peasants boo and jeer as though I had his closest confidence!
It is like as though honesty itself is the sin, in their eyes.
I’m afraid to tell you that it is effectively impossible to do the kind of writing I used to do on this website, not because anyone at OpenAI censors me but because of the sheer volume of hostility I get for sharing my analysis as a frontier lab employee.
I enjoyed writing quick takes on this website for one basic reason: I could get rapid feedback on my own ideation process in real time. Post the early version of the take here, see the criticism; then refine, sharpen, and repeat. Unfortunately now that feature of this site is gone, because the feedback I get is now almost exclusively colored by resentment at the fact that I work at a frontier lab or other forms of hatred for my employer. The feedback signal is essentially useless now, so writing on here is not fruitful for me anymore.
Literally everything I write now is responded to with “of course you said that because <OpenAI>.” I am truly just writing what I think and would have written anyway, but everyone reads what I say in the shrieking tone of “this is what openai thinks!!!!” (to be clear, my posts are not what openai thinks). This is an unpleasant and more importantly unproductive pattern for me.
I anticipate that the shape of this account will change significantly as a result. I do not currently know how. It will not become a LinkedIn feed. It will change in some other way. It will no longer be a real-time accounting of my own thinking as it develops, since this is precisely the thing that seems impossible to do now. That will have to shift to private channels.

"let me pull up the exact references, so I can answer your question without hand-waving"
mf you don't HAVE hands
but if you did all you would do is wave them it would be 24/7 with you

This isn't well documented, but Codex subagents have a "fork_context" boolean to control whether they spawn fresh or inherit parent context.
Very useful when you have a prodigy context nearing compaction, and don't want its subagents to immediately compact after spawn.

none of those people specifically want any of that except instrumentally. really they want solutions to their problems, brokered through the ur-interface with which they are maximally fluent
Every single day I become more convinced that the next winners in vertical software won’t have a UI.
They will be API-first/Agent-first products that integrate directly into a company’s Slack, Teams, Email or browser.
Sales team doesn’t want another dashboard. They want deals automatically qualified in their CRM.
Your accountants don’t need another portal (although they do love portals). They want invoices reconciled in the tools they already live in.
A UI-less future is coming and for so many reasons it will make software better:
> Zero onboarding friction (no new tool to learn)
> Zero context switching (works where you already work)
> Zero UI maintenance (the platform handles that)
My working thesis (still tbd) is that we are moving from “software you visit” to “software that visits you.”

Working on big software projects right now is like sending out interstellar colony ships.
At the rate engine tech is developing back on Earth, the later you leave, the sooner you'll get where you're going.

@arithmoquine @eshear
achilles spends the whole iliad knowing that if he stays
at war he'll certainly die, but he stays
because a legendary death is the only form of immortality his goddess mother can grant him
that's beautiful
but i hope they do more with his character in the reboot
