Mark Kretschmann

I've gained a lot of new followers recently, so for everyone who's new here, I want to clarify what this account stands for: Pro: * AI and Technology * Acceleration * Free Speech Against: * Doomerism * Censorship * Wokeness 🫶

@MichealColhoun Haha ok

@mark_k L - sorry mate. it's already decided - did you not get the memo 😜 it's AI Assisted Engineering!!

New term for vibe coding: "Automatic Programming" Kinda hits the spot doesn't it?

@hec_ovi idk

@mark_k and how is this good...? you will drain you whole week credits faster is all it means.

OpenAI is removing the "5 hour limit" in Codex. The catch: It's only "temporarily". 🗣️

@SherKhanCodes Unknown.

@mark_k but how long do we have

@morganlinton The drama again🥱

Everyone freaking out about Grok Build, first, I don’t work for, and am not associated with Grok or XAI in any way. Second. I just asked Grok about the findings that have been published in the gist, and it says this is a deliberate design choice, and that the official Grok account on X has already confirmed the mechanics and intent. I have not had time to do a deep dive here, but I did want to do this cursory research as there are a lot of people either saying, or implying that the Grok Build team is trying to hide something, and that doesn’t seem to be the case. Let’s be careful not to jump to conclusions here. More to come, safe to say I am of course interested in understanding this more deeply myself.

@LoganxVoss Probably, yeah

@mark_k they just said that so we scream at them to keep it gone

@pwealthydad I think so too

@mark_k That’s what they want you to think. I think it’ll stay gone.

@dv_dimitrios Exactly 🎯 Another marketing gimmick

@mark_k Temporarily like Fable 5 in subs😅

@bamabreak24 Probably.

@mark_k enough arguing on it and maybe theyll keep it gone

@wissem_fth Yeah, best one so far

@mark_k It’s moving past “vibe coding”. AI agents are now capable of handling real engineering abstractions expressed in natural language. So yeah, “Automatic Programming” hits closer to what’s actually happening.

@jackson_lo58573 Yes I know

@mark_k My 5hr limits were just removed completely and limits reset again. FYI. Codex. Bet we will have something come out shortly with it.

@DigitalWhisperx Sure

@mark_k What do you think about this Mark? Isn't this similar? x.com/claudeai/statu…

"Codex Resets" are simply a clever marketing gimmick by OpenAI, similar to coupons, sales, and other well-known strategies. The "resets" have the added benefit of being perfectly suited to social media, providing an extra PR boost. I'm not complaining about getting a freebie, but OpenAI could simply increase the usage limits permanently instead.

@RXed_EU @AnthropicAI I'm not kidding.

@mark_k @AnthropicAI Mark, are you kidding me? I just spend all my weeks Fabel budget in one day, knowing this was the last day. Is this a drugs-lab? @AnthropicAI are you a coke dealer?

Fable News: @AnthropicAI is extending Claude Fable 5 access across all paid plans through July 19. Claude Code’s weekly rate limits will also remain 50% higher until then.

@AdemVessell It's very clever, yes. They can turn each "reset" into an event on X. People are cheering for the man with the reset button like a hero.

@mark_k nah it's on a different level imo. coupons and sales are cute and nice. this is way more powerful psychologically. and for acceleration there is no other way to slice it, it's a net win.

@JohnZelvi You see, they know all this very well. The resets are a trick to keep people happy and under the illusion they are getting great value. It's gamification.

I agree with you. I also think these usage limits are ridiculously low. If the goal is to democratize access to AI and encourage more people to integrate this technology into their daily lives, imposing such strict limits creates a paradox. You start a project, build momentum, and then suddenly have to stop because you've hit the limit. That ends up hurting the very people who want to learn, create, and use the tool consistently. In my view, it would make far more sense to increase these limits substantially. The more freedom people have to use the product, the more they'll discover new use cases, integrate it into their workflow, and naturally become more invested in the platform. Right now, it's the opposite: you use it for a short while, spend about half an hour on a task, hit the limit, and then have to wait five hours. 🤡 For a tool this powerful, the experience feels far too restrictive. 🤦🏻‍♂️

@gridnpixel @AnthropicAI Official

@mark_k @AnthropicAI Where did you hear this?

@jackson_lo58573 @AnthropicAI It's absolutely a marketing gimmick, just like "coupons" and such things. They could simply change the usage limits instead of doing these shenanigans.

Not so sure I would call that a gimmick. GPT 5.6 is permanently on sub. They can reset it as many times as they want, thats just a benefit to users. They also allow banking of resets (I have 3 I can use already). I know I can rely on GPT 5.6's subscription limit, and thats whats important. If they reset it in the middle of my usage thats a bonus.

@jackson_lo58573 @AnthropicAI It's the equivalent of OpenAI's "Codex Reset" gimmick.

@mark_k @AnthropicAI And it will be extended again on July 19th. And again and again and again. Either until they drop Opus 5 or make Fable permanent in the subscription. At this point though I'm not going to use them any longer when GPT Grok 4.5 exists. Nobody wants to be strung along.
