My latest ultra-high-effort shitposting project. It started as a joke, but then actually turned out to be kind of genius?

Of course Fable did the entire video from end to end. All HTML, absolutely amazing @trq212
It was such an obvious idea in hindsight, I can't believe no one ever did it
An ad in the context window feels wrong, it breaks your trust. But one outside is totally fine. The vibes are 100x better
wait i didn't think this would have been shown to anyone 😭😭😭

Works in both Claude Code Extension, Claude Code CLI, and Codex
At current rates it easily pays for an entire subscription plan per month. I think it'll be north of $1/agent window/hour
People realizing how valuable their eyeballs were
j shaped revenue curves. god i hope i can pay for my Fable costs
The funniest outcome here is that xAI buys all the ad space to be displayed in Claude and Codex 😂
1,000+ visits per min at the site 🤑

(it works in Codex extension too!)
It would be so funny if this just became the default way the labs introduce ads 😂
The nasdaq of ads. @stripe powering it all.
This is hilarious, I am seeing all your ads in my own VS code (of course)
@WordsMustFlow 😂 ohhh it's real, and it's either be acquired or get a cease and desist letter within 24 hours
