How is this more expensive than a Stream Deck? Shouldn't OpenAI be able to undercut existing software / hardware stacks due to how automated their engineering team is? https://openai.com/supply/co-lab/work-louder/ - $230 https://www.elgato.com/us/en/p/stream-deck - $130, with LCD sceens, works with any apps

This feels like a thing that will be fashionable in a few very specific regions of San Francisco, and nowhere else in the world.

Wouldn't surprise me if the real purpose of this is to get a physical object on your desk that makes you constantly think about Codex -- either babysitting your currently-running agents when it's lit up and running, or subconsciously bullying / shaming you into using Codex if you're not right at this very moment. An electronic Siren's Song if you will.

If that was the real purpose they would have priced it lower.

If you’re puzzled as to why this exists, imagine that, out of the goodness of your heart, you donate $230 to OpenAI to support their mission of rear ending the singularity, and receive Codex Micro memorabilia as a token of appreciation.

The phrase made me chuckle, but I'm curious what exactly "rear ending the singularity" means.

The intelligence knob is hilarious.

Just imagine vibe code slop streamers twiddling it like a DJ and the chat goes crazy. That's where we're headed.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm guessing they didn't run "knob" past anyone from the UK. Edit: as much as it pains me, this is hacker news, so, knob means cock in the UK.

It also, and I would say more commonly, means a round thing that can be turned. I've never heard of anyone avoiding the term.

I doubt anyone from the UK would call their product or company "knob" these days.

tokens are getting expensive these days

Yeah that’s nothing compared to token cost. Cheapest iPhone costs like 2x than it.

$230 for a macropad with an exposed PCB and no washers under the Allen screws. I'm not sure what the joystick is for, and neither are they apparently: the only example they give is something that could just be a keybind.

For context - macropad is about $5-10 from aliexpress. I got one for my kids in back of car so they can control music and climate.
