OpenAI Codex CLI: Lightweight coding agent that runs in your terminal

What's the point of making the gif run so fast you can't even see shit

That's the model speed :)

Not really, they don't even give you a second to read the output before it loops back again.

People somehow seem to be adverse to making the shift from GIF to H.264

To be fair, terminal output is one of the few things where GIF's LZW compression and limited color palettes shine at.

Not as much as https://asciinema.org/ - when you can use that...

LLMs currently prefer to give you a wall of text in the hope that some of it is correct/answers your question, rather than giving a succinct, atomic, and correct answer. I'd prefer the latter personally.

True, but embedding a gif is way easier than using a javascript thing which might not be allowed in most places.

Browsers just need to support <img src="foo.mp4" style="width:256px;"> already.

It should behave exactly like a GIF, loop by default, and be usable for emojis and everything.

There is absolutely ZERO reason we should be stuck to 256 colors for things like cat videos used as chat stickers. We have had 24-bit displays for ages.

Animated webp has pretty good browser support by now and Discord uses it by default to serve animated emojis and stickers.

However, many image hosting tools still don't let you upload webp.

Try o3. My (very limited) experience with it is that it is refreshingly free of the normal LLM flattery, hedging, and overexplaining. It figures out your answer and gives it to you straight.
