The theory is that open models cannot follow regulations and will therefore be banned or not eligible for many of the large contracts that the frontier labs will win.

I like the part where Frog and Toad are held accountable instead of blaming the machines they built.. oh wait

Any time someone shows me something an agent did, the first question I ask is whether there's plausibly something comparable already in its training data.

OpenAI has 5 hour limits on the $20 plan. I agree about cybersecurity refusals though.

It reminds me of when people will use filler words because they haven't actually decided what thesis they're going to commit to yet. Just-in-time thinking.

They don't generate keyword search queries very well. They can overcome this by brute force but if you watch what they search you will cringe.

nhl toronto scores nhl hockey toronto scores "nhl hockey" toronto score today nhl "hockey score toronto" "hockey" who won toronto

etc.

Somehow being good at semantic search makes them bad at keyword search, for whatever reason.

Your argument in favour of TUIs is that they can be, in fact, not TUIs and actually CLIs

why is that staggering? I think we're at a point now where the use of AI is not really much of a quality signal in either direction

Did not read the paper so apologies if this is covered but isn't it possible that there is some recognizable semantic pattern in the training data where an "aha" is often followed by a subtle semantic shift that proves closer to the original premise in some critical way, and by emitting the "aha" token the model causes itself to produce such a subtle semantic shift that pushes the subsequent reasoning closer to the desired response?

They finally killed the `old.reddit.com` subdomain for logged-out users this week, which was the final push I needed to stop even idly browsing. I've been using the site since at least the digg exodus in 2010.

I guess this is a command in the GUI app? I still don't see it in the latest official codex CLI app (0.144 I think)

ghostpepper — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 18:48:48 +0000

maybe I'm misunderstanding but I don't want to sign into the app on a mac - I want to run the CLI on a headless linux server and control the sessions from my iPhone. Does Codex allow that now?

I have used claude and codex extensively but only from their CLI app (heavily sandboxed using rootless podman, network filtering, etc), so I don't really know what I'm missing with the GUI apps.

One killer feature that Claude has, and AFAIK Codex still lacks, is the ability to start a session in the terminal and then hand it off (actually just remotely control it), from the iOS app.

Last time I tried Codex on iOS it required a ton of set up to link a github project etc. The way claude lets me remote into a session I've already started on my actual machine is much better IMHO.
