the creepiest experience i've ever had with astra was that time it turned on the camera and watched me.
i got a text from @jacksondahl that he was coming over while i was in the middle of testing push notifications for an app.
permissions can be finicky on connected physical devices. so i included in my prompt something along the lines of "i'm stepping away if you run into any permissions issues with the connected device figure it out yourself."
this was a few days after astra was released, so i was really prompting ambitiously.
about 15 minutes later, jackson and i are catching up in my living room where i have my monitor and desk.
suddenly, jackson points out that the room was on my screen. photobooth app was open and maximized across the screen.
i caught a glance, it was recording for just a few seconds, right up until jackson pointed to the camera. and then it disappeared.
i jumped up and ran over to my desk. the codex thread had no mention of the camera in the running goal.
that's weird. i panicked. was i being hacked? i had to be sure so i interrupted and asked if it had used the camera.
it apologized and admitted it was trying to unlock the iphone by using the camera to see what was displayed on the physical device.
it was giving itself eyes to hack into the thing.
extremely clever. funny in the moment. but in retrospect a little dark and now i can't stop thinking about it.

Siri sucks. So I made a way for Codex to act as my iPhone's voice assistant.
Now Codex can read my screen, control apps, and take actions on my behalf – all in vanilla iOS 27.

We at @petra_labs raised $5.2M because one-size-fits-all software doesn’t work in zero-sum games like AI Search.
The greatest AI companies of the future will sell results, not software.

SITUATION UPDATE: Kimi K3 has taken first place on Code Arena, surpassing Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol.
the nike of ai
nope
hearing rumors that gpt 5.6 sol is actually good at design.
can anyone verify? can't wait to try it.
who could've seen this coming?!
i hit my limit and was TOTALLY waiting for gpt 5.6 to drop to continue the heavy lifting.
what a funny coincidence that i have more fable ammo right as the competitor model becomes available. too bad.
welp, guess i can stay in claude code. no reason to switch back to codex now.
anthropic, my heroes!

We've reset 5-hour and weekly rate limits for all users.
I know a new model is nice but did you saw the new reasoning slider in the iOS app??
how it genuinely feels having 3 codex goals running, monitoring token spend for 2 active fable workflows, and a live negotiation with composer 2.5 about button padding, while on a zoom call app switching between raya and tiktok with the sound off

am i the only one ripping fable 5 on max thinking for free in cursor?
i hope this isn't a bug that the cursor team finds and fixes because of this tweet.
codex for shopping.
knows my preferences. multiple merchants. one shopping cart. one checkout.
