Years ago a junior dev in my team built a web service that would take a full SQL as the input, and run it straight into the database. He argued this would make it the most flexible, simple approach and any use case would just work.
We had to patiently explain all the things that could go horribly wrong with that.
@RNAiAnalyst Just use an uncensored model, there are plenty of them on Huggingface. If you give them the right tools for research, they will probably serve you better than Claude or GPT
This sucks. Trying to do research on the latest #Ebola outbreak using AI, but it won't let me due to security concerns.
This is not the first time I've encountered this when it comes to virology. This is a huge issue for the virology field if only a select few get access to needed tools.
The VLA in New Mexico is a surreal, inspiring place. Massive radio telescopes work hard through the night to bring us data from the stars.
Studying the other places in our universe teaches us more about ourselves.
May we never lose the courage to venture beyond Earth.
@winds_ai@thsottiaux@bendee983 Yeah same, worst is Codex told me multiple times to do something and just stopped. Reminding him, he just replies that he's gonna do it and stops again. Never had this on Codex, only on some weird local models.
Anthropic's loss is OpenAI's gain... for now. But don't be fooled. This is not a sustainable process.
Eventually, they will face the same problem as Anthropic, especially if their models are as large as empirical research shows (GPT-5.5 being ~9.7T params).
Prepare yourself for token scarcity.
Fun fact - if you have a recent commit that mentions OpenClaw in a json blob, Claude Code will either refuse your request or bill you extra money.
This is an empty repo, I'm just calling Claude Code directly. Insanity.
@gabriberton Dunno if that counts as "real world use-case", but i made myself a python script that uses such models localy hosted to translate markdown files into different languages with lots of options - because free services suck and i dont wanna pay :)
I don't know what they are doing over there, but Codex will continue to be available both in the FREE and PLUS ($20) plans. We have the compute and efficient models to support it. For important changes, we will engage with the community well ahead of making them.
Transparency and trust are two principles we will not break, even if it means momentarily earning less. A reminder that you vote with your subscription for the values you want to see in this world.
🚨 Das wird teuer!
Merz & Selenskyj treffen sich wieder für mehr Waffen- und Finanzhilfen an die korrupte Ukraine – auf Kosten des Steuerzahlers! 💸 Während Autofahrer mit 17 Cent abgespeist werden. BSW fordert: Zahlungs- & Waffenstopp + eine Spritpreisobergrenze von 1,50€! ✋🏼
@KhaledsRRR@dhh But you know there was a Time before Cloud? We - the people who done that before Cloud - still do that in a more cost efficient way. What is so hard about running Clusters/Geo-Replication or your own AS with BGP?
@dhh Only for tech-native teams with elite ops talent.
For most companies, the cloud is better economical option
24/7 plumbing. Storage? Compute, DBs, orchestration? Talent, downtime, lost focus bleed more than you save. Your scale works because you’re built for it.
In 2023, we spent $3,934,099 on AWS + other hosting. In 2026, our hosting + support bill is down to ~$1m/year due to the cloud exit. Even including all the hardware buying, we will already have saved ~$4m by the end of this year. And going forward, it's ~$3m/yr in savings 🤑
Codex CLI Update: Let there be Search
Whatup nerds, back so soon looking or yet ANOTHER update?!
I got you. Update 0.121.0 is here!
> You can now search through previous user prompts with CTRL+R.
Just trigger search and enter your search string, you can easily arrow through all matches. See video below!
> 🥔 Support for Spud! Is not here yet. Sorry. Maybe tomorrow. 🫢
> v0.121.0 adds custom marketplace installs in Codex: you can run codex marketplace add to register marketplaces from GitHub shorthand, git URLs, or local directories.
Codex validates the marketplace layout and stores it in your user config so it shows up consistently in plugin discovery.
> Improved memory features, including a new /memories TUI menu with use/generate toggles, a reset-all-memories action, app-server support for setting thread memory mode and clearing memories, and cleanup of stale memory-extension resources.
Note: Not working on Linux for me. /memories command unavailable.
> Codex MCP got further upgrades with direct app tool calls, cleaner namespacing, and safe optional parallel execution for faster workflows
> Codex realtime got better controls (text/audio + clear “done” signals), easier history syncing, and safer file handling.
> Hardened devcontainer setup plus smarter macOS socket allowlists for safer local runtime access.
> Dozens of other bug fixes, see repo below.
Toodles! ✌️
