Beware, this tries to download about 1.2 GB of "AI models" to your browser cache. I have no idea what this crap is supposed to do. Flagged.

Here's some more details on the project. Maybe I should've linked to this instead: https://x.com/i/status/1999703580958208467

So "passion score" just finds long posts that were not interacted with? I'm not sure it's a proxy for quality.

LLMs are also notoriously verbose. Don't know if that's the case here, but not sure how "Passion" protects against that

The article doesn't mention the elephant in the room - iPhone. The fall of ringtones and the rise of iPhone isn't a mere coincidence. The feature phones had too little features, everything on them was controlled by the provider, and thus ringtones were something noticeable, one of the few available ways for customization, a way for that brick to do something else. With introduction of iPhone the ring customization - just use any sound file, etc, no payment - became just a very small insignificant feature drowned by a lot of other functionality like full featured web browsing, etc. and thus it lost user's attention. I don't remember anybody doing ring customization on iPhone or any other smartphone besides picking from the preloaded list of rings.

While I do agree the iPhone was the major cause, I think this was an intentional move by Apple. During the early years, iTunes let you make your own ringtones for free using songs in your library. GEICO even had a novelty ringtone online you could download to your iPhone for free. Eventually, Apple started selling premade ringtones (for the same price as the full song!), after which the built-in iTunes functionality was removed.

Coding agents use extreme numbers of tokens, you’d be getting rate limited effectively immediately.

A typical small-medium PR with Claude Code for me is ~$10-15 of API credits.

I didn't know this, thank you for the anecdata! Do you think it'd be more reasonable to generalize my suggestion to "This CLI should be included as part of ChatGPT's pricing"?

There's a lot of tools now with a similar feature set. IMO, the main value prop an official OpenAI client could provide would be to share ChatGPT's free tier vs. requiring an API key. They probably couldn't open-source it then, but it'd still be more valuable to me than the alternatives.
