@scaling01 I have a lot of luck with time-gates. Give it like 2 or 3 hours. It is surprisingly smart about seeing things like "The gate only has 20 minutes left, I should do this before I run out of time." I lowkey thinks the time pressure makes it work better

@scaling01 Last week I ran Codex on goal mode for almost 40 hours and it worked out pretty well tbh.

@scaling01 did it actually finish, or wake up halfway through inventing sub-tasks?

@scaling01 Sometimes it works and sometimes they take part of the goal and spend the day repeatedly trying to solve the same thing

@scaling01 It blew up my SSD although it could be because my SSD was already unhealthy, or cuz it gets really hot here and we don't have airconditioning

@scaling01 Goal is really good at going through a defined checklist where each item has clearly defined success criteria.

@scaling01 That feeling when an AI decides your goals aren't good enough
it's funny how we project human traits onto these systems and then feel rejected when they don't cooperate this says more about our expectations than the AI's actual capabilities
