There are some really cool hardware projects you can build with Codex. OpenAI maintains a website where you can learn, share and vote on various projects: [https://youcanjustbuildthings.openai.chatgpt.site/](https://youcanjustbuildthings.openai.chatgpt.site/)

I have an old unused Kindle lying around so I might give that jailbreak project a go.

Interesting 🤔

Do report your findings if you do get to it!

Astra is always complaining about how something could or would violate some license agreement or other - so I’d be surprised if it just helps you without a little reality altering.

With that in mind it wouldn’t even occur to me to try it 😆
