Wouldn't surprise me if the real purpose of this is to get a physical object on your desk that makes you constantly think about Codex -- either babysitting your currently-running agents when it's lit up and running, or subconsciously bullying / shaming you into using Codex if you're not right at this very moment.
An electronic Siren's Song if you will.

Add Gacha mechanics for +100% extra damage. Devices tied to your desk are actually very good for tech detox. So if getting you hooked was OpenAI's goal with this, they definitely missed by a 1000 miles.
- kevinsync 3mo agoAgree, but there's also the psychological impact of having spent over 200 smackers on this thing and then letting it go unused lol
- _doctor_love 3mo agoThat's the key, a physical object is much more easily made part of a devs identity. Projecting a hacker image has become very fashion based. e.g., some devs love their clickity-clackity keyboards with LEDs, others have those all-blacks ones with nothing on the keys.
- Wowfunhappy 3mo agoThis only works if you can get people to spend over $200, which is the part I'm skeptical of. But who knows, maybe I'm overestimating people's intelligence.

- phainopepla2 3mo agoIf that was the real purpose they would have priced it lower.
