I know this is going to come across as egotistical, and I don’t have any delusions on thinking I have any recourse, but I’m PISSED. Codex is a direct ripoff of my ChatGPT plugin, Recombinant AI® that i built back in January of 2023 and released in July of the same year. Maybe this is dramatic but t…

Parallel innovation is NUTS right? I’ll have to pull up my old patent for funsies, but I agree with everything you said. This post is honestly just a vent-y blast from the past sort of thing. I’m not actually upset it’s just a wild feeling. I grew up with a guy who’s dad showed me some old drawin…

If i were you i would just look for a new hobby.

Did OpenAI copy your implementation or was inspired? Is the claim related to the Web interface or CLI? Did Gemini 2.5 Web / CLI or Claude Code likewise infringe? What about an infringement by all the commercial and OSS vendors, Cursor and Windsurf, Cline and Roo? To help us with some basic factchec…

This post reminds me when I panic sold AMC stock right before the huge leap it took a few years back. (diamondhands I was not) I remember hearing about your app back then and I feel your pain, Wish we would have known it was that cool, we’d all be using it rn! I think you still have a foot hold o…

I invented tool use: post describing tool use/agentic framework/MCP concepts

That’s quite the claim, but at least it’s off-topic here. Pre-print of the Gorilla LLM paper from May 2023 But congrats on your findings back then. I often find it rewarding to come to working solutions.

“Gorilla” there is only about writing API calls. The “post describing” link is not a link, but “tool use” predates manthrax joining the forum even. You can simply cite plugins : March 2023. If in doubt that it is not tool-calling: We’re also hosting two plugins ourselves, a web browser and code i…

We’ve all been taught that we have to be the first and if we are we are rewarded… The thing is (apparently)… AI will be more intelligent than every person on the planet combined within 6 years … So not sure that that is actually a thing… Will we all learn our own tools to interact with the new AI …

Oooo that is actually EXACTLY around when I got my provisional patent for essentially the same thing, but honestly this is a much more robust description of the api bridging portion.

Haha i dont know still having a foothold. Recombinant AI was basically Codex (read/write Github connector) with cloud storage (supabase tables/buckets), Oauth for google/github, and an MSDOS UI in Chatgpt as a plugin… Replit Agent, for all its faults, does this pretty DAMN well..if it werent so ex…

Links should work, but you have to build up your trust level.
