馃挴. Avoid the phone at all costs. Anything that could be asynchronous should be asynchronous so that you can deal with it based on your ranking of its importance.
This is why I never have and never will do calls

The amount of shit you can disturb by having AI fight battles with Big Co. you never would've had energy for otherwise is unprecedented and OH SO SATISFYING. Current short list: - CN blocked the railway crossing outside of my apt for 20 minutes (max allowed without movement: 5 minutes), and the incident is currently under investigation by Transport Canada with the help of evidence I obtained through a FOIPOP request from the city. I personally received a phone call from a Transport Canada investigator complimenting me on the quality of the report submission and to email him personally if there are any further issues (my response: "thanks, I had some help") - TD cancelled my home/auto insurance without properly notifying me (I found out 3 months after, only because they sent me a letter saying I owed them money) and they are now under investigation by the NS Superintendent of Insurance, General Insurance Ombudservice, and FCAC (whatever that is). - My 16 and 1/2 year old cat is becoming very particular about what she eats and has settled on a brand that was $5+ a can at my usual store- I took a picture of the can and gave it to ChatGPT Work and it found it for $3 a can somewhere else, and also found a 20% off coupon, added everything to a cart and I just had to enter payment info. Take that Big Catfood.

If I won the lottery I'd be most excited about being able to run Anthropic models in fast mode.

Thought I'd put a dent in my 20x codex usage limit with an overnight goal but codex had other ideas.

Codex 5.3 spark xhigh is like driving a lambo. Control it right and you鈥檙e going 300km/h but one wrong move and things can go sideways real fast lol

Who鈥檚 working on the problem of charging people a nominal sum before being allowed to contact you (aka an introverts wet dream)? Should be possible with @openclaw, I鈥檓 just wondering what that workflow looks like for phone calls - can @stripe accept payment info over the phone?
