  • If you’re puzzled as to why this exists, imagine that, out of the goodness of your heart, you donate $230 to OpenAI to support their mission of rear ending the singularity, and receive Codex Micro memorabilia as a token of appreciation.

  • This feels like a thing that will be fashionable in a few very specific regions of San Francisco, and nowhere else in the world.

  • How is this more expensive than a Stream Deck? Shouldn't OpenAI be able to undercut existing software / hardware stacks due to how automated their engineering team is?

    https://openai.com/supply/co-lab/work-louder/ - $230

    https://www.elgato.com/us/en/p/stream-deck - $130, with LCD sceens, works with any apps

  • If you want an $18 DIY / open hardware version of this using an LED cube off amazon & WLED, here you go: https://github.com/pirate/led-cube-agent-monitor

  • Wouldn't surprise me if the real purpose of this is to get a physical object on your desk that makes you constantly think about Codex -- either babysitting your currently-running agents when it's lit up and running, or subconsciously bullying / shaming you into using Codex if you're not right at this very moment.

    An electronic Siren's Song if you will.

  • If anyone is looking at this thinking it looks pretty and wants to check out Work Louder's keyboards, let me save you the time. Their keyboards must be made by designers who do not type much because they are both not pleasant to type on and not very high-quality.

    The Nomad [E] might be one of the worst keyboards I've ever purchased, and I owned one of the original butterfly switch MacBooks.

  • This is really pretty, but I'm surprised it doesn't have a microphone. I know it's just rebranding the existing work louder creator keyboard, but a mic would really, really help with this product. Especially one that is really effective at Wispr Flow-type speaking.

  • $230 for a macropad with an exposed PCB and no washers under the Allen screws.

    I'm not sure what the joystick is for, and neither are they apparently: the only example they give is something that could just be a keybind.

  • At this point these companies are going to release merch to fund themselves

  • It's not clear why this physical object is a better solution to the problem than, say, a window on your screen. Feels like more of a hobby project than something that provides $230 of value.
