Model thinking time exceeds seventeen minutes for apps
“First out the gate, it's a thinker. So you can see here it thought for seventeen minutes twenty seven seconds about this. You were gonna have this experience with this model. This is gonna be a theme of this mini episode, this thing will think. And it planned a app for advanced subtraction, built the code, all this kind of stuff. Now here's my question. Do we need seventeen minutes of hyperintelligence thinking to build this app? Probably not.”
Shifting Geopolitical Alliances - Rising tensions within NATO and evolving sentiments toward Israel suggest a major recalibration of U.S. foreign policy and international influence.
“The party has changed, and we’ve lost that sense of bipartisanship that used to define how we get things done in Washington.”
Personality commands fix the default baked potato tone
“The only thing I will leave you with it it is is that it has the, as I call it, baked potato personality that we've all come to know and love from codex. It is a dull, dull, dullard. But I learned over the testing of this, if you do slash personality in codex, you're able to change that to something a little friendlier. And while some of my fellow early testers said it had too much of a Gen z personality, I said, I like to stay young. Give me that Gen z, GPT 5.5.”
Security scans and threat assessments improve code quality
“The first thing that I did, which I'm not gonna show you for what will become very obvious reasons, is we used OpenAI's codec security product to run a threat assessment and security scan on the chat PRD code base. And it was pretty good. We're we're pretty secure. But it did come up with some low priority or low severity issues that we needed to remediate. And instead of taking those one by one, what I did is I downloaded the CSV of those issues, upload it to codex, and just said, can you please architecturally review these issues, group them if they're thematic, and then propose a change and then make those changes.”
“Now I'm glad it's more efficient because it is expensive. GPT 5.5 is $5 per million input tokens and $30 for output tokens. And GPT 5.5 pro, which has powered all this work that I've been doing, is 30 for a million input tokens and a $180 for output tokens. So this is a pricey one, but when I reflect on what I was able to achieve with this model in early testing, I'm gonna I'm gonna pay I'm gonna pay the intelligence tax because I think what I was able to achieve is really important.”
Six hour autonomous runs solve complex data migrations
“This thing worked for six hours. It was actually five hours and, like, fifty seven minutes. Truly, it just banged its head against the wall for six hours. And I did not have to I zero prompts, zero follow ups, zero steering. I think I had to approve one, script call or something for it to have access to run-in its sandbox. But, otherwise, it just went for six hours. I have not seen personally, everybody says, oh, I'm getting my agent to run overnight. I have not seen it until GPT five point five in a very constrained use case.”
Bluetooth packet sniffing enabled hacking a proprietary speaker
“So what I did is I spent truly hours downloading a Bluetooth profiling profile on my phone for developer debugging. I then hooked it up to sorry, I'm crazy, hooked it up to a packet sniffer so that when I was using the app here on my phone and it sent an image to this computer, it would log and sniff the packets and tell me what Bluetooth was sending to this this little guy. I threw these logs and kind of all the information that I had at five point five, and let me show you what happened.”
The Democratic Party's Identity Crisis - Fetterman argues that the party has drifted from common-sense bipartisanship, alienating core voters by prioritizing ideological purity over pragmatic governance.
