Those resets and the removal of the 5-hour usage limit are quietly anchoring me to a much higher usage baseline. I've stopped rationing and just spawn a bunch of agents to work at whatever pace I want, because there always seem to be more resets on the way (at least true for the last week). And now I am actually worried about that if one day they just stop doing so, my "normal" workflow will suddenly exceed the limit…

Quietly eh?

This feels a lot like free spins in slot machines. I have a friend obsessed with using up all the Fable usage which supposedly ends today. He's doing a lot of stuff of questionable usefulness just because it's a resource perceived as scarce.

That's what half of people's AI developed projects feels like to me. I have colleagues using Openclaw, and having an entire team of agents managing their home infrastructure. And I'm just thinking "why?". They're not developing anything that useful, their homes are already automated via home assistant. It's just agents for agents sake. Outside of my work life, I find very little need to be using AI.

It’s a false idea that a reset “gives you more”. You don’t get any more tokens post reset than before. If you were consuming faster than your allowance before the reset then you probably end up with some free usage, but most people are not likely so far over their pro-rata limit that it’s a huge cost for OpenAI. What it does incentivise is pushing more usage in case there’s a reset-generating additional demand. Proba…

I think GPT 6 will be OpenAI's response to Fable/Mythos. There are (baseless) rumours that it will be coming fairly soon.

I think Sol is pretty much there already

> 5 days ago: 7M users > 4 days ago: 8M users > 3 days ago: 9M users That's some incredible growth.

tbf they turned previous ChatGPT macOS app into Codex, so getting a "new" Codex user might mean someone using ChatGPT just updated their app.

Numbers are for Codex AND ChatGPT Work users. So if a ChatGPT subscriber tries Work tab they must be counted as a new active user. So it’s not like 1M new developers daily.

All these resets are given because of rival competition. When they win the market, we are going to be squeezed $$$.

Can anyone explain how you “win” the market of super intelligence? Particularly with open weights models now rivaling the frontier, it seems like a race to the bottom even if the prices don’t yet reflect that.

You patent and protect (as best you can) the missing ingredients needed to get to AGI. Only half joking and also scary to contemplate. Qualcomm’s CDMA patent is on example. ARM and Texas Instruments two other examples.

Remember when people used to play Pokemon Go?

It's unlikely that a clear single winner will emerge in this competitive market.

I don’t even know what Codex is anymore and at this point I’m too afraid to ask. I remember the days when it was a VSCode extension. Didn’t they also name their new hardware product Codex?

To me, it's the cli.
