Trying to set up Twilio with my OpenAI dot. I log in on the browser, then it says its browser safety check blocks Twilio’s own console as a suspected typo domain. How do we escalate false positives like this? Any workarounds? Cc @OpenAIDevs

Hey @OpenAIDevs been setting up cloud environments today. When I make an env change and publish, do I have to start a new chat? It looks like existing sessions don't reflect the new published changes. When i start a new chat, its all good, but I'd prefer to stay in current thread

I see this in the docs so no luck I suppose: Start a new task to use the update; existing tasks retain their own state. learn.chatgpt.com/docs/envir… +1 for a feature request, I find myself editing the environment frequently and changing chat threads a bit of friction

My workaround here is to get my dot to do it (start a new thread, bring context over). Anyone have a better way?

A @Muse review from my 72 year old father “ I like Muse, I enjoy the morning brief he gives me. However Amazon blocks him from comparing items. He has told me outright wrong answers and he is lazy, he told me the wrong final score of a Dodger game and then told me he stopped keeping score when they were so far ahead. He told me all this when i confronted him...so I am not so excited about it like I was. Plus he is very slow but its free so ...” 🤣

Codex Usage Limit Reset purchase option looks like its gone, credits only now. Not sure if Astra using more tokens generally or I'm just building more with Astra or both but the $80 reset has been helpful, now credit purchase only. Is it gone for everyone or just me? Did I get A/B'd out?

For an app like mine, you don’t really need a Muse App Store. GitHub is enough. Other apps would still want store stuff: payments, auth, discovery, one-click install when you can’t just clone a repo. @alexandr_wang

It's tax season (ugh!), it's also the one-year anniversary of "Liberation Day" tariffs. If you're a cannabis operator, those two things are hitting at the exact same time. $9.5B in cannabis sales depend on tariff-exposed imports (trailing 12 months - 15 markets Headset tracks). Vape hardware from China (54% tariff). Pre-roll cones from India (50%). A year in, the inventory buffers are gone. Everyone's buying at the new rates. And cannabis can't do what normal industries do when costs spike: - Can't raise prices (illicit market sets the ceiling) - Can't deduct costs (280E, happy tax season!) - Can't get a loan (banks won't touch you) - Margins already collapsed from 52.6% to 42.7% Name another legal industry carrying tariffs + 280E + state excise + banking surcharges + compliance costs + illicit market competition. All at once. I would guess the operators who survive in this world would outperform in any other category out there. Full breakdown in my newsletter this week: cyscott.substack.com

On April 1, the federal government quietly started covering CBD for Medicare patients. Not through dispensaries. Not through pharmacies. Doctors hand it to you directly in their office. Here's what's going on. A thread:

So to recap the current state of federal cannabis policy: - Cannabis is Schedule I - Dispensaries selling tested, regulated product are federally illegal - But doctors can now hand CBD to Medicare patients - SAM is in court trying to stop seniors from getting it The named defendants? CMS Administrator Dr. Oz and HHS Secretary RFK Jr.

For context: in legal cannabis dispensaries, CBD products sell at a 31% premium over THC-only products ($45.74 vs $34.82 avg item price in CA, per Headset data). Tested, labeled, regulated. The kind of product you'd want your grandparents using. I've been in this industry 15 years. It never stops surprising me.
