I don’t want my sycophantic Clawbot calling me for reassurance, but the interesting thing here is that the tweet is the instructions for the agent to set itself up. Plain English instructions that agents can follow may be a new avenue for marketing (and a security nightmare)”” https://x.com/emollick/status/2018826844817240092

I am very excited about AI, but to go off-script for a minute: I built an app with Codex last week. It was very fun. Then I started asking it for ideas for new features and at least a couple of them were better than I was thinking of.
