Wouldn't surprise me if the real purpose of this is to get a physical object on your desk that makes you constantly think about Codex -- either babysitting your currently-running agents when it's lit up and running, or subconsciously bullying / shaming you into using Codex if you're not right at this very moment.

An electronic Siren's Song if you will.

If that was the real purpose they would have priced it lower.

Notifications on your smartphone that's always on you are way better for that purpose, than on a device that's tied to your desk.

Add Gacha mechanics for +100% extra damage.

Devices tied to your desk are actually very good for tech detox.

So if getting you hooked was OpenAI's goal with this, they definitely missed by a 1000 miles.
