Absolute banger comment


Same


Both serve different purposes and I think it's a reasonable distinction to have between products. One is for managing your openai workspace, API, etc, the other is a consumer product. Reasonable to expect an admin to whitelist the openai cli tool but not codex


> One is for managing your openai workspace, API, etc

Well, from the page:

> openai images generate --prompt "A tiny orange robot" saves images to ~/Downloads/gpt-images/ and prints their paths, including in pipes.

That doesn't look like "managing the API". It looks like "a consumer product".

I think the real answer is Conway's Law.


Hackernews is full of losers and retards and this thread is a perfect example. Literally fucking flying cars and ppl are complaining that it's not realistic or it's dangerous or might not make a profit. Some of the biggest losers on the planet on this site tbh


- All of my websites and the back ends of some apps I've developed - A torrent client so I can seed torrents to keep my ratio positive

Keeping my namecheap API key on the server means every time I make a new website I just buy the domain and tell my AI agent to SSH in and set everything up.


I don't store commands in my notes so I'm not the target market but could this not simply be an Obsidian plugin?


99.9% of spacex rocket explosions are controlled experiments where they intentionally push the rocket past it's limit or try out new and unproven designs. Once they get the design down it's pretty reliable.


Honestly I wish every ad had this. If I search for meal delivery services in my area and a sponsored result comes up, I would much rather ask an AI to trawl through the website to find out how much the meals cost, how much meat, protein, calories, etc are in them rather than do it myself


Yeah, but why would you trust the answers from a sponsored agent? Why would you assume it is giving you real, accurate, and complete information rather than selectively giving you what it thinks is most likely to make you click the "buy" button?


I agree that it won't be an unbiased source of information, but should be roughly same level of trustworthiness as clicking on the link and reading the information on the advertiser's website.


You can do that now. The problem with ads in an agentic environment is the AI would just ignore the best options and make up shit about worse options because a loss good restaurant with a big marketing budget paid it to say that. The whole idea of agentic workflows is only viable if the agent is truly independent and objective as best it can be.


You can already do that without ads.

The point of ads is that one of those services will pay openai so that their services will be more prominent than the others.


No you can’t. Not without MCP


Most agents can search the web nowadays


My guy executing tasks like navigating door dashes app and getting a full basket price reliably pretty much needs MCP.

Sure you can have some agents try to do this via web but realistically most fail.


Brilliant brilliant idea


It is but isn't it bizarre that this is what was sold to us re. 'Agents'?

Yet here we are.

This 'agents' paradigm is foolish and what that poster is doing is closer to reality. Good work.


Thanks for the feedback.

It's far from ready yet but this feedback has given me some impetus to refine the end product.


Key difference is that these loans, which do increase the money supply and create inflation, are on average productive and profitable and thus deflationary. Quantitative easing is just printing money and often goes towards repaying bad debts, which are unproductive and thus not deflationary, so the inflation (increase in money supply) does not outweigh the deflation (creating of goods)
