Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017:
"I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."
A “reset” is just OpenAI giving your usage back so you can keep going.
Consulting clients already understand this. If you have a $5k/month retainer and $500 left with two weeks to go, you don’t demand the whole roadmap. You prioritize. You wait for next month’s budget.
Same thing here. You’re subsidized until the allotment runs out, then the reset tops you up. The rage is mostly people who never had to work inside a budget.
I wonder if Google is focused on real-world AGI/ASI applications. When everyone else is crowing about cloning Minecraft, Google is curing cancer.
Thoughts?
I've pointed Astra at a simple question: "Can entropy be stopped?" I can't believe that it ate up all my usage in just a couple of hours and is still working. What a ripoff...
As a Democrat, I'm mystified that the party is trying to abolish a technology that can literally erase healthcare, education, and scarcity as humanity's curse. We fight hard for change and bury the tool.
The resets are smart because the delay me from making a tough decision about which of these harness/model sub I keep. GrokBot and Codex is almost bingo on usage. I really like it, but I will work with Buzz for a week to use my Claude sub. That's the week for Buzz and Claude to shine.
Love using Astra to add UI to @ppressdev CLIs. Most CLIs are for agents, but putting a simple UI on them gives my team a custom layer for bad UI software.
Astra runs its own Rimworld colony. It did well, but it was played in a completely different way. Shutting it down after 19 hours of autonomous play. Astra's ability to create in-game mods is sick.
Go from idea to a working agent faster with the Agents API.
Build and run cloud agents with the Codex harness, fully managed by OpenAI.
We handle orchestration, long-running sessions, and context management. You focus on what makes your agent unique.
Available in public beta.
