@tony_carnev An excel formula is code. That’s execution layer too and changes the capabilities.

@NickADobos The real distinction isn’t “customization vs restriction” it’s whether the app’s capabilities are fixed at review time. Spreadsheets = flexible inputs. Rork = execution layer. HUGE difference. I’m not saying Apple is right here but these are their rules.

@chatgpt21 Just make a ChatGPT app (aka MCP UI) with a 3d renderer.

Big ask.. but can OpenAI put a real time 3D game engine into Codex, I think it could lift revenue run rate another 10 to 15 percent minimum. Would be really cool for Codex have something like Unity style game development.

Book + auto-research Looping self improvement with the goal of making artistic, engaging & emotionally interesting media is a fascinating thing for a computer to do. Much weirder than optimizing a KPI, but if it works it will change art, humanity & computers forever.

Hermes Agent wrote a novel. "The Second Son of the House of Bells" runs 79,456 words across 19 chapters. The agent built its own pipeline to do it, using the ame modify-evaluate-keep/discard loop as @karpathy's Autoresearch but applied to fiction: world-building, chapter drafting, adversarial editing, Opus review loops, LaTeX typesetting, cover art, audiobook generation, and landing page setup.

People that are using CLIs + skills to interact with services, is it working well for you? Does it continue to work well after the first setup / usage of it?

@tony_carnev No. The rule was to prevent developers from changing apps. Not to prevent users from customizing apps & using dev tools. This is like if they banned spreadsheets & spreadsheet apps because you could write a formula that changed how the spreadsheet worked...

In fairness this has been a rule of theirs since the way beginning. The technology to exploit it to this level didn’t exist until recently. Whether it needs changing or not is fair but you can essentially jailbreak an iPhone with these apps and how quickly someone can make one now

an increasingly large part of the job of an engineer is deciding how much compute to spend on a problem

@kinglycrow Love this. Super cool. Do you find it easier to review with these boxes/nodes? Seems like it would be useful for architecture and organization but maybe harder to review details like actual lines? (But maybe the existing tools already cover that.)

lately i've been pretty interested in tools that help me digest and understand large amounts of changes from agents so i built a little thing 🧵

Drawing and 3d modeling(specifically texturing) Have you ever stared at a wall to observe its texture before? Or looked at carpet and noticed how your brain tiles it instead of actually seeing all of it? You don’t grasp how bad your brain is at actually seeing & visualizing things until you dive into reconstructing it Unfortunately does not generalize to other domains much.

@techguyver Seems possible, but I don't think any of the dev tools want to start a legal battle here. 1. they dont have the war chest for it. 2. It will take 2-3 years, time which would be better spent focusing on building.

Midjourney's create flow is exactly what you described. 1. Send an initial prompt, use a med-high chaos value to start. Do that like 4 times to get 16 options. 2. Pick your favorites. Take those and run variations, or use remix if you want to change the prompt or provide guidance. Reduce chaos as you narrow your idea down. 3. repeat Unfortunately midjourney is not as quite as steerable or as good at image editing tasks as chatGPT image gen, or nano banana 2. But Midjourney's UX flow and ability to hunt through and find your best image is SO SO much better.

What’s the best framework for visual prompt evolution? I want to give a general direction (“new logo for project X, see brief”) and have something generate 16 options, I pick 1-5 favorites w optimal commentary, it reflects and evolves and tries again, rinse and repeat.
