Could this be sabotage?

That seems more than merely plausible given current tensions and the location/timing connection with NYC and UN.

"Current tensions" has been a convenient boogieman for the past 100 years, if not longer.

You're going to be hard-pressed to find any point in the American empire's life when it doesn't have 'current tensions' with someone or other.


There was a 10-year period starting in 1991 when mostly the US didn't expect much enemy action on our soil.

Sure. It could also be the first sign of the invasion of the Mole-Men.

I thought The Incredibles handled them already?!

There are 400,000 to 800,000 utility strikes a year in the US. Sure you could bury (!) an instance or two of sabotage in there with an "oops".

Recently, I tried calling 811 before digging in my yard. The webpage was broken and the hotline kept me on hold forever. I gave up. Small wonder.

In my country if you want to dig into the ground more than a few meters you'd need to get a permit. Officially everything that is buried is registered but every once in a while they find an old pipe that nobody knows what it is for.

Yes that was the 811 I referred to - a US compliance and permitting hotline. They send any utilities mapped in your digging area to come mark their buried lines.

Same in the US, most places. In some cases, it’s even a criminal offense to not call before you dig.

Plenty of people don’t bother and YOLO it, and usually it’s fine - until it isn’t.



I would put my money on it.

Similar events happened in Europe disguised as thieves stealing fiber optic. This does not have any sense economically, as the value in the market is zero so... either is an honest accident and is cleared in a few days, or is sabotage


>disguised as thieves stealing fiber optic. This does not have any sense economically, as the value in the market is zero

Do you honestly think that crackheads think that far in advance?

I've seen fiberoptic cables stolen from 2 (city) jobsites in the last 5 years, once by tweakers later caught trying to sell them as scrap copper and the second thief was never caught. This happened even though the spools had big signs on them saying "Fiber Optic Cable - NO COPPER".


> big signs on them saying "Fiber Optic Cable - NO COPPER".

Crackheads can be manipulated easily, or bribed. Maybe the value was in that they were paid with $50 in drugs for doing that.

People too dumb to plan X and to inconsistent to spend several days honing the plan, somehow avoided all the traps and locks, go for the precise location and do X... either they worked in the place and are very familiar with each room, or there is a director manipulating them.

With the added value that addicts can be overdosed easily if they try to strike back and treat to getting too talkative. Nobody would bat an eye.


This used to happen more often in the past, when copper thieves mistook fiber for conductor. There were cases where critical systems were shut down due to fiber optic theft, and the thieves were caught burning the sheathing to expose the... glass.

I drive by a VZ pedestal that has had it's service doors wide open for about 3 weeks.

The punchline is that it's about 2000 ft from the local CO, where (I believe) half the town's lines terminate.


Couldn't they just inject Ads into title content if they see headless access? Headless access is kind of inevitable at this point

Do you have 1 long running session?


Considering the harness needs to be running how else would this work?

Pretty easy these days with old school tools like tmux but more modern tooling like herdr [0] is really the path you'd want to take.

codex itself has a remote control mode that runs continuously. I wrote a systemd service to start it boot and interact with it via my phone.


But Codex doesn't survive a reboot by default or a laptop going to sleep. Also, herdr is abstracted up a level from the agent, so you actually get more benefit by using Codex with herdr because herdr knows how to operate Codex, and other harnesses. So if you're using multiple Codex instances you can orchestrate them because each harness can talk to the others. You can still interact with Codex running in herdr via remote control (ideally you'd target your "orchestration" Codex instance). It just gives you way more power.


> Considering the harness needs to be running how else would this work?

you can just make new sessions for each new task?


i tend to do this, or at least every so often.

i just give it a config (agents.md etc) to where it knows what's going on, or can figure it out


Codex remote control serve can run continuously.

Sometimes start a new chat in the phone app, sometimes just add to the main one. Both seem to work ok.

If I want the agent to wait for something I need to start a new chat in the iphone app.


you can't use your subscription with this so it's likely the largest companies in the world that can truly use this


I think this is the key takeaway here, it's obviously a product for usage based customers

`codex -p` is the subscription equivalent. or ACP if you want to be fancy


yep. I'm saying that the managed agent API described in the article is API only.


Hey thanks for trying it out! The 2 participants you see are just you and the agent.

AI Prompt means that the AI will always reply, Team message just means it's meant for a human. We can see how this is confusing though and we want to simplify this by just making it smart enough to know when you're replying and when you're not.

As for the burning of the tokens it's hard for me to know without troubleshooting further. Can you email me your org name k at type dot com ?


Underneath the hood it's the codex cli and claude code cli as the harness. So product wise it's similar to ChatGPT Work and Copilot Work, but technically our harness uses the CLIs.

We're also cloud first and multiplayer by default


hmm we'll take a look! thank you for reporting (wasn't able to repro yet)


displaying the website for a few seconds, then crashing with this error. Mac, Edge (152.0.4191.62)


I was unable to repro on the edge browser, but found a potential culprit. just shipped a fix. Can you try again? thank you!


It depends on your current situation. For some, 1.5Xing your money can add 100x happiness

It's already been done - VR


I have no problem with VR, but this demo was very disorienting. I can’t even imagine trying to look at this while driving.
