Jason Liu, Instructor creator, answers questions about his workflow as a top-five OpenAI Computer Use user
Story Overview
Jason Liu, the Instructor library creator and OpenAI Codex engineer, stepped forward as a self-described top-five Computer Use user and opened the floor to questions about daily operation of the agentic tool that drives GUI actions through vision and reasoning.
Linux versus macOS friction stays unresolved
Replies zeroed in on platform differences, yet Liu supplied no concrete setup comparisons, performance notes, or Docker harness details between the environments.
Agent task limits and auditing remain opaque
Community interest also touched on action logging, browser-only preferences, and handling complex internal workflows, but the thread left those operational boundaries unspecified.
Some users praised OpenAI Computer Use's top-5 ranking claim as the best technology with interesting use cases, while many others responded with insults and mockery questioning the poster's competence and dismissing the ranking.

@jxnlco What is the best way to audit all the actions it did? Pointing another Codex at its trace logs?
@injaneity managing files but honestly we've made a lot of improvements that i'm excited for folks to try out
@EvelynYaxueKe Actually, a lot of it has been: autonomously reading internal Slack conversations to figure out where the most confusion lies in the product drafting tweets and then posting them on Twitter to get feedback monitoring that thread and then sharing it back with the team

@jxnlco 1/ what's the craziest thing you've asked CUA to do? 2/ what's the longest running agentic job you've asked CUA to do? 3/ how do you spend time on your computer when CUA agents are running?
@JonathanHaas @chrome @Computer I lean on the browser as much as possible. We'll make some new updates that will make it easier to work with.
I think the future will just be the in-app browser and computer use.
