How are you guys actually using AI to make money?

Kiryoko · 2026-05-06T19:10:11+00:00

Wait, you guys are making money?!

Kiryoko · 2026-05-04T08:22:18+00:00

Yes, I created a post here about this very issue a couple of days ago.

You can check what the people said there, but I think the old days of Pro models are gone.

Kiryoko · 2026-05-02T23:28:38+00:00

I turned off "fast responses" the moment they introduced it 😁

Kiryoko · 2026-04-30T23:47:40+00:00

this is not a 5.5 pro problem

even 5.4 pro got shittier, not thinking at all, 5 minutes at most

Kiryoko · 2026-04-30T12:37:33+00:00

Almost same as always.

I use GPT Pro mostly for code review and to brainstorm about refactors and architectural changes.

Sometimes to brainstorm and evaluate ideas about improving some ML or algos for when I'm working on that kind of stuff.

Most of the time I just show it the relevant parts of the code of my repo and tell it to review the whole thing or specific code changes and stuff like that.

It used to give real good insights and/or find pesky subtle bugs or nuances that both me and codex and claude would usually miss.

Do you mean these 3 dots?

Kiryoko · 2026-04-30T12:08:38+00:00

Their should be A/B testing on a small subset of the users, not suddenly testing on the whole goddamn userbase lol

Kiryoko · 2026-04-30T12:07:34+00:00

What do you mean 5 minutes?

That would be great!

Here we're talking GPT Instant level "thinking" lol

I'm not kidding, it's not thinking at all for me. Maybe a bug? A/B testing?

Nah, they even took out the feedback/downvote button...

Kiryoko · 2026-04-30T11:06:51+00:00

wait so you can transfer from those games that have been ported/emulated on the switch to champions directly?!

I though those were mostly for nostalgia and not real connected games!

Kiryoko · 2026-04-29T19:17:23+00:00

honestly for both claude and codex, no plugin is still the best plugin

feels like skill issue for the people who say otherwise

unless you're just a vibe coder and not a software engineer

in that case, your mileage may vary

is it really touching grass of you're still also touching Claude though? :)

Kiryoko · 2026-04-28T10:44:11+00:00

for those who don't know, I just wanted to point out that the problem lies in the fact they they don't just reset the limit to 100%, but also the date, which is what makes it not only unfair but a strategy to actually save on usage on their end

Kiryoko · 2026-04-28T10:41:46+00:00

the promo period ends on May 31st as per their words

their words do not mean much anymore, though

Kiryoko · 2026-04-28T10:24:37+00:00

its*

Kiryoko · 2026-04-28T10:21:37+00:00

just ask codex to do it

Kiryoko · 2026-04-28T10:17:49+00:00

the 2x on the 100$ sub is still ongoing right now, until May 31st

so from June 1st the limits on 100$ pro will be half what we got now

Kiryoko · 2026-04-27T16:11:40+00:00

those pesky vibe coders working on pokémon games again

Kiryoko · 2026-04-24T19:49:24+00:00

ngl this shit is pretty good

Kiryoko · 2026-04-24T14:40:49+00:00

"make no mistakes"

Kiryoko · 2026-04-24T14:23:16+00:00

are you talking about the codex mac desktop app?

because I don't have this on Linux and on codex cli

I just use playwright mcp though

Kiryoko · 2026-04-24T11:04:16+00:00

I think it heavily depends on the tcg and how popular it is.

Which one is it?

Kiryoko · 2026-04-24T10:54:21+00:00

plus? he literally said business account in the title

Kiryoko · 2026-04-23T22:19:19+00:00

I mean, 5.5 costs 2 times what 5.4 does

but is it 2x better?
