On Wednesday, I tried to convince an audience at #Config that a 1970 avant-garde production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream had relevance to their day-to-day lives. It was a blast and I wanted to share a few things that didn’t make it into the talk.

Use appshots to:
• Give me TL;DR on this Slack thread
• Check out this form and fill it out for me
• Use this API reference to add a feature to my app
• Pull out the themes in these replies on X
• Find out which of these DMs need a reply
• Draft three follow-ups to this dashboard’s top posts
• Turn my notes into a presentation deck
• Help me trim this video in iMovie
• Turn this recipe I have open into a grocery list
• Plan the rest of this trip from this itinerary and search the web
Truly cannot overstate the joy this brings me.
Very happy to have worked on this feature!

I gave Codex this image as a reference and told it to draw it in MSPaint using computer use
Then it asked one question, and I said to make it the exact same image
- It didn’t draw it freehand
- It converted the dark ink areas into thousands of short stroke coordinates
- It resized Paint
- It colored the background
- Then Paint drew those strokes one by one using the pencil tool
And here’s the result (2nd image)

Ideas for @ChatGPTapp Pets. This week, inspired by @arresteddev. First up:
Mr. Bananagrabber

3D pelican riding a tricycle, plus a pelican riding a pelican, demoed by @edbayes

fun fact: no one read or edited the code, and no assets were uploaded. this was built entirely by giving 5.6-sol high simple text instructions like “set a goal to render this as accurately as you can”, “add a g-wagon”, and “can you add another ride: a pelican riding a pelican?”
the work it took to get these pets looking great is all credit to @kierajmumick. our impossible test case was making a rainbow pet. look at the early version(s) compared to now!
Expanding on the 'pets are adorable' point. We've massively improved the visual quality of custom pets. All of these were created with little more prompting than "make me a unicorn mermaid pet" or "make me a pink bob named Bob"
This is exciting for very many reasons:
1. Computer use is so much faster now
2. You can babysit what it's doing with the PiP
3. The PiP can live in ChatGPT or on your (updated) Pet
4. The updated Pets are adorable.
This talk would not have been possible without these incredible people, who shall be tagged here for internet posterity. Thank you for helping me bring this idea to life.
