Something is wrong with the codex app too, burning usage like crazy lately.

Yeah regardless of comments by the team to the contrary (https://x.com/thsottiaux/status/2090675027670978569) I have observed this in the cdoex app.

My conspiratorial mind thinks they're doing this deliberately and using the resets to mask things so people can't tell their limits are reduced. The $200 / month plan covers about 2 days of usage for me right now.

i dont know what the hell is going on lately i pop in to issues or discussions and its agents talking to each other or telling me what PR to merge I mean i use AI too but was taken back when an agent popped up dictating what i should do and so on....felt weird

My most awkward experience was a maintainer commenting on my feature request just to prompt a bot to "explain to issue reporter why this is very hard to implement." It felt like they were trying to avoid me. They could have simply addressed me and given me the explanation they gave to the bot: it would have been simpler for him and more polite. I did in fact reply without waiting for the bot.

It's as though you're talking to someone and they were said to their 'assistant', "Explain this to this person" and walked away. It doesn't really matter what the explanation is, it's just gross.

AI is ready to replace both jobs and companies. The companies you see struggling are ripe for disruption.

So OpenAI the company making the AI and using it inhouse is ripe for disruption? What?

I want some of what he’s having please

Funny how it is always more charges but never less or no charges. "Random" accidents that always go against you, too biased to be random. But don't notice that too much, you might start to see patterns here and there that you're not allowed to, might get you banned from places, etc.

I doubt anyone announces when they have under billed. OpenAI has also done many low price deals and quota resets.

It’s really cool that we have this proof that US companies are half year behind Chinese models in architecture.

Nemotron was using hybrid with recurrence via mamba layers since around April 2025.

Applying Occam’s razor, which do you think is more likely:

1. OpenAI intentionally adds random overcharges. 2. OpenAI deprioritizes fixing actual bugs that cause occasional overcharges because doing so won’t affect their bottom line.

The fact that companies with access to SOTA non-public AI keep having these kinds of dumb bugs in something as simple as a chat app helps validate my disbelief of people claiming AI is ready to replace all software development.

Except leadership doesn't care about dumb bugs. Never has, never will (until it's too late). It cares about velocity and cost.

They'd totally replace all software development with worse AI software development in a heartbeat.
