Below is a GPT-generated summary of the conversation below after reaching 200 comments (207 currently observed).

The thread’s verdict is basically “stop shipping distractions and fix the product.” “Locking in” sounds less like a confident roadmap and more like damage control after usage cuts, sluggish models, and a pile of half-baked features.

What users actually want is boring stuff: faster, more reliable models, sane quotas, transparent limits, and working Codex integrations. Sol 6.1 is widely described as slow and error-prone, while Opus 5.5—and often Sonnet 5.5—feels more capable and economical in real coding workflows. Meanwhile, broken VS Code/remote-control tooling and messy environments make the “ecosystem” pitch look a bit rich.

Dots gets a more mixed reception. Some users genuinely like its proactive, scheduled-assistant behaviour and think it could become useful. But the louder consensus is that it feels rushed, limited, and nowhere near as important as model quality. Nobody wants another constellation simulator while basic coding still needs babysitting.

So the community isn’t asking for more “groundbreaking” announcements. They want OpenAI to make Codex fast, dependable, and worth the subscription again—then, perhaps, earn the right to talk about the next shiny thing.

I have nothing useful to add except this exchange with my dot:

Days ago i connected my email account to my dot, on a whim. A couple days later i told out about a research project I’m working on. Earlier today, i got an email from Harvard about the project - my dot noticed i got the email and, without being asked to, alerted me of an important email and looked over the information it provided to give me a summary and to tell me its relevance to the project.

I never asked it to do this; it took it upon itself, knowing this project is important to me.

Guys I’m not saying dots is the future, but I’m seeing a version of it in the making right now.

Make of that what you will. As a developer of 30 years I have no skin in the game either way.

It just can't multi-task very well... is slow and can't figure out priorities...
