This was just tweeted by OpenAI on X:

Meet Codex for Students.

We’re offering college students in the U.S. and Canada $100 in Codex credits.

Our goal is to support students to learn by building, breaking, and fixing things.

^^ Don’t break it if you can’t fix it!

But what if breaking it is how you learn to fix it??

The AI running a rmdir with a bad powershell path that ends up being root will certainly be an education in “breaking”.

Top Tips for Students:

  • make sure everything on your PC is backed up and in the cloud somehow (this is great practice in any case)
  • learn to use git and push to a remote repository (most suitably GitHub, but there are other options)
  • commit and push code often

Assume that your dog is about to pull the cord out the wall at any moment :dog_face:

Oh and use WSL if on Windows as its very reliable and I’ve yet to have anything accidentally deleted :slight_smile:
