Tell HN: OpenAI keeps stealing my money
Here's what just happened in my Codex session with Sol 5.6 High: 1) I asked GPT to review some new coding work in the local repo. 2) It kept spinning for 5 minutes and 17 seconds, burning god knows how many tokens. 3) It asked whether I want to run Bugbot or Security Review. If you use Codex, you know that is a standard question. But it should have been asked seconds after my request. Where did the 5 minutes and all the tokens go?! This is just the most clear example of what I'm consistently experiencing. Moronic, pointless activity and inordinate amount of tokens wasted. And they keep saying we're almost at AGI. What a joke! Reports filed through "Send feedback" in Codex go unanswered. Money torched and gone. 1 comments on Hacker News.
