TLDR

The original post by @liljuuliet described showing Codex to normie friends and noting they did not care about making whatever they want. Replies from @connordinnadge and @cipherstein observed that such users like image generation but show no interest in building or coding. @seconds_0 added that most people do not want to make things. @FarouqAldori described helping a brother fix a corrupted 3DS SD card with Codex, after which the brother began using it regularly. @GarrettPetersen suggested the friends may have assumed programming already worked that way.

@liljuulietwas showing my normie friends codex and how you can just make whatever you want and they literally didn’t give a fuck
@bchernyIt's the little things
@breckyunits@liljuuliet "hey guys, programming is solved. no reason to spend so much time on the computer anymore." "yeah we told you that like 20 years ago."
@connordinnadge@liljuuliet @yacineMTB I had the same experience… they love image gen, but none of them are interested in building anything or experimenting with what these models are capable of 😔
@seconds_0Yeah Everyone is already making everything they want. Most people dont want to make things
@FarouqAldoriIf you want your friends and family to use codex you gotta solve a problem that's relevant to them for example, I helped my younger brother repair his corrupted 3DS SD card with codex, he literally called it "jarvis" since then, he's been using it for quite a lot of things
@GarrettPetersen@liljuuliet They probably thought programming already worked like that.
@CrispyWicks"what did you make" "Look it can pull from all these folders and command sub-agents and coordinate itself in Discord and..." "but what did you make with it doing all that" ????
