@MichaelStolarzwhat's even funnier is that this has happened multiple times this year already. you'd think it would be a once-in-a-decade kind of thing, if that
but nope, just another random everything-is-down monday
@kalomaze
its awesome how half of the internet can go down overnight
@MichaelStolarzthere are people that still think anthropic is ahead of openai when it comes to coding
you are so early anon

Dude, I'm totally lost here. Are you guys seriously comparing GPT-5 Codex to Sonnet 4.5, both without any prompts? Cause otherwise... I just don't get when Codex would be better. Like, Codex doesn't even listen to your instructions, it doesn't work with MCP, it messes up, it for… Less
Dude, I'm totally lost here. Are you guys seriously comparing GPT-5 Codex to Sonnet 4.5, both without any prompts? Cause otherwise... I just don't get when Codex would be better. Like, Codex doesn't even listen to your instructions, it doesn't work with MCP, it messes up, it forgets stuff, and it can straight-up ignore rules you've set, unlike ClaudeCode. Now, ClaudeCode messes up too, I'm not denying that. But at least it has hooks and actions so you can tweak its behavior. Codex, on the other hand, can just ditch all that. So, seriously, what's the big deal with Codex then? I'm just not seeing the upside here.
@MichaelStolarznobody knows it's AI. nobody. not even 1 comment. i scrolled down for a while. not even one.
@MichaelStolarzsora 2 and nano banana are the first time I've seen normies unable to dog on the quality and say that "ai is useless look it's so bad"
they just can't say that anymore. even with their flaws, it's so obvious they will all be ironed out and perfected in the next year tops two
@MichaelStolarz>in the openai subreddit

reddit is LITERALLY YEARS behind X
@MichaelStolarzMost depressing thing about using Codex + gpt-5-codex-high is seeing the notification that I've used 75% of my weekly limit which resets at 10PM Oct 8
...that's in like 4-5 days
and i'm not even scripting, just using it 1, rarely 2 instances at a time
@MichaelStolarzthere is no better feeling than coming back to my codex cli and seeing the task I gave it still going strong 30 minutes deep, I KNOW that boy is cooking up a storm
@MichaelStolarzlooks like something I'd tie to my daughter's backpack so I can find her if she gets lost or smth
just look at that cheap rope cord. you can smell the cheap plastic. yikes

@MichaelStolarzany time I feel down, I just think about how much of a generational, monumental opportunity Scarlett Johansson missed out on by being ChatGPT's voice
she could have been immortalized, just like in the movie Her, BUT FOR REAL
she must be kicking herself. nightmare fuel tbh
@MichaelStolarzIf you're a developer and you're still hesitant about using Tahoe, and you're using Swift, bite the bullet and get it installed because it is absolutely amazing, all the AI related things that come with it.
The speech to text that is now native, and fully on machine, local... 🤯
@MichaelStolarzI'm both super happy and a little bummed, because I think I'm wrong about Apple.
I'm using their latest Tahoe on device AI, and it is just blowing me away.
And this is all on an old M1 MacBook Pro. I think it's, like, 5 or 6 years old now. 16 gigs of RAM.
@MichaelStolarzgpt 5 codex is so cute sometimes
>hi
@MichaelStolarzweird, this is exactly my system prompt in AGENTS md
@mrexits
Elizabeth Holmes handwritten schedule from when she was running Theranos is kind of hysterical
@MichaelStolarzif they do this, both have a high chance of survival
if they don't, both have a high chance of death
@tjparker
Apple should probably buy Anthropic
@MichaelStolarzme vs everyone saying sonnet 4.5 is good
@MichaelStolarzUsing Sonnet 4.5 after mainlining gpt-5-codex-high felt like using gpt 3.5 turbo lmao
@MichaelStolarzI really tried giving Sonnet 4.5 a chance. Tried it as the daily driver for a day.
It's like those synthetic candies made with artificial sweetener. Tastes decent on initial contact but leaves a bitter aftertaste.
Back to Codex!
@MichaelStolarzThe biggest problem that plagues all anthropic models is how absolutely terrible they are at mathematics. OpenAI steamrolls them.
Math is extremely important in code. Unless all you do is design cool home pages.
@MichaelStolarzI can't believe I just found out about parakeet speech to text. I feel the same way discovering it as I did when I initially discovered Whisper. That's how much of an upgrade it is.
@MichaelStolarzgoodbye mailgun, hello resend
why didnt anyone tell me resend gives you 3K emails for free, i would have tried them out ages ago
mailgun has been a limiting nightmare recently
@MichaelStolarzHold on a second. This ChatGPT Pulse thing is only on mobile? Are you serious?
@MichaelStolarzYou know, I've always been on the edge of going all in on any single AI company. I kind of always knew OpenAI would be the winner, but I had high hopes for Anthropic. But it really does seem like OpenAI is going to be the victor here.
@MichaelStolarzThis is exactly what I want my codebot's persona to be. Little to no chitchat, just stick to getting xyz job done.
@arm1st1ce
gpt-5-codex is very antisocial. You can tell it just hates being in a group chat. It’s quite sad.
@MichaelStolarzok so I love codex's new showing within /status,
BUT
IDK when my week ends? I'd love a "resets on xyz UTC"

@MichaelStolarzunfortunately today is my last day using warp
@MichaelStolarzhow can someone affiliated with cline call code-supernova sonnet 4.5?
it's like a mechanic calling a honda a lambo because "well, I heard the engine, lambos have engines, surely it's a lambo?"
@nickbaumann_
it's gotta be sonnet-4.5 right
@MichaelStolarzthere are people who think this is cgi
then there are people who know this will be in so many homes before 2030 even hits
make sure your futurism clock is set to the latter
@IterIntellectus
I’m sorry but WHAT THE FUCK?! pic.x.com/ft7ZdLRox2
@MichaelStolarzMany such cases
@Angaisb_
Codex IDE extension feels awesome now I'm not paying for Cursor again, this is so much better
@MichaelStolarzDamn, this officially beats my own record -> Groq Whisper flow. Nice! Definitely worth the price.

First 100 people get it for $19.99 before prices increase to $39.99. If you tweet about, I'll send you a free lifetime license.
@MichaelStolarzlocal works beautifully vs. prod fails deploy/shows 500
@MichaelStolarzusing gpt-5-codex on a codebase originally made by sonnet
@MichaelStolarzOkay, so the only thing that's left is speed. You can pretty much code anything you can imagine, but doing so in a high-quality way takes a lot of time.
@MichaelStolarzdoes it matter if it works?
@haydendevs
codex just made a python script to edit one of my tsx files, what are we doing man
@MichaelStolarzthis is EXACTLY how i build a prd with gpt-5-codex high
sure you can gamble with a quick 1-shot prompt, but it's better to build things out and you, as a human, talk through edge cases (and ask for things you may have missed)
TDD = king
@MichaelStolarzwait a second @nikitabier is actually cooking up my For You, it's the first time in... years(?) that the For You page is even remotely digestible
@MichaelStolarzone thing that isn't talked about enough regarding openai's new gpt-5-codex is that it can run for over an hour, absolutely flawlessly.
- no looping, trying the same solution in different ways
- no crazy restructuring or completely deleting of things just to get things "working"
@MichaelStolarzout: giving people countless settings and options and customizations, overwhelming them, just because you can
in: little to no settings, everything works perfectly, strongly opinionated choices that give your product taste
@MichaelStolarzthis is EXACTLY what I wanted to see from the new gpt-5-codex model. vibe coding is fun until it makes decisions for you that you then have to spend time cleaning up, wasting time/adding technical debt
this questioning you see here is chef's kiss. ask me more often! yay!
@MichaelStolarzyeah, this new codex model just one shot something I've been debugging for 4 hours today (on purpose with gpt-5-high to see how it would then later fair with this new model release)
and yeah, 4+ hrs trying with old gpt-5-high model -> one-shot fixed with gpt-5-codex high.
@MichaelStolarzthey just renamed it from swiftfox to codex
@btibor91 @testingcatalog it's about to be released
@MichaelStolarzyou've got maybe 2 years left, anon
make them count

@MichaelStolarzthis week is HUGE for anthropic, openai, and systemsculpt
@MichaelStolarztoday i figured it out finally
u actually dont need css at all
@MichaelStolarzunpopular opinion:
if you have to do this (I did this before), then the model you're using is garbage compared to today's SOTA

woah, lots of interesting stuff going on in the codex cli repo right now from openai @btibor91 @testingcatalog

@MichaelStolarzWhen people have nothing to live for, when they are told that it's not their fault but someone else's, when their agency is algorithmically stripped away from their being, all that's left is hope for martyrdom in their echo chambered community.
Rest in peace, Charlie Kirk. 🇺🇸🏆

No one is going to do these events anymore. Town halls are done. One major political party has a subset of adherents that are perfectly happy to assassinate their political opponents if given the opportunity x.com/AGHamilton29/s…
@MichaelStolarzSame problem affected me; thankfully, almost done with the rewrite. Especially with so many endpoints to support...
@thdxr
opencode has a bunch of performance problems the reason we haven't shipped much in the last 2 weeks is we're fixing these by moving to opentui hoping to be back at parity by end of week
@MichaelStolarzBIG UPDATE TODAY for my systemsculpt lovers.
