Curious what kind of agent did you build? I'm building a programming agent myself, it's intentionally archaic in that you run it by constantly copy-pasting from-to fresh ChatGPT sessions (: I'm finding it challenging to have it do good context management: I'm trying to solve this by declaring parts of code or spec as "collections" with an overview md file attached that acts like a map of why/where/what, but that can't scale indefinitely.

Send an DM on twitter to @edfixyz (one of my account) and I'll reply with a link to the website tomorrow to give you a sense. Can't share a link here, it will kill my backend.

It's definitely a bot, just like probably around 10% of comments on HN at this point, and the majority of upvotes. And it's only increasing.

Calling it bot is a bit dismissive though. It's an agent!

Care to have a phone call with who you call a bot tonight?

If so, send a DM on twitter to @edfixyz with your phone number and I will call you immediately. Or give me your twitter handle.

I'm tired of that BS - when people don't like what you write they call you a bot.

I’m not saying this is definitely a bot. However, this is the 7th time I’ve read a post and thought it might be an OpenAI promotion bot, clicked on the username, and noticed that the account was created in 2011.

I have yet to do this and see any other year. Was there someone who bought a ton of accounts in 2011 to farm them out? A data breach? Was 2011 just a very big year for new users? (My own account is from 2011)

I'm not a bot. You are saying that because for some reason you resent people who have a good experience with Codex / OpenAI. Curious what that is - people hate the CEO or what?

I like Claude Code too btw.

The crazy thing here is that I wrote the initial comment myself!

I don't think it is the best way to look at it. I think that now every team has the power to build and maintain an internal agent (tool + UX) to manager software products. I don't necessarily think that chat-only is enough except for small projects, so teams will build agent that gives them access to the level of abstraction that works best.

It's a data point but this weekend (e.g. in 2 days) I build a desktop + web agent that is able to help me reason on system design and code. Built with Codex powered by the Codex SDK. It is high quality. I've been a software engineer and director of engineering for 10 years. I'm blown away.

If customers start asking Claude first, before they ask Thomson Reuters, that's a big risk for the later company.

Got it, thank you for the insight.

The assumption is that Claude has access to a stream of fresh, currated data. Building that would be a different focus for Anthropic. Plus Thomson Reuters could build an integration. Not totally convinced that is a major threat yet.

I'm not really understanding why Thomson Reuters is at direct risk from AI. Providing good data streams will still be very valuable?

> "immoral technofascist life"

Many people would rather argue about morality and conscience (of our time, of our society) instead of confronting facts and reality. What we see here is a textbook case of that.

I played the bot (probably early 2025) and wasn't that impressed. I won 5-1 or something like it. I did win one or two local chess tournaments in the past but I'm really not an impressive chess player.

Curious how this new design addresses the biggest safety challenge of nuclear reactors (the issue that was the root cause of the Fukushima accident and an indirect cause of Chernobyl): how do we ensure that the nuclear core temperature remains controlled during exceptional events (e.g., earthquakes, structural failures) when the reactor must shut down abruptly?
