We have a Samsung Frame TV. I told Codex to scan our network to find it and then build a custom tool for updating the image gallery that it uses when it's in "art" mode. It did that, and now I can tell a Codex session controlled from my phone to "use this image" and it shows up on the TV a few moments later.

I desperately want this, but our Frame has never been connected to the Wifi, and I'm really reluctant to do so, as it will probably start snitching and/or delivering ads...

Nice! I actually built something similar back in early 2023 [1], which used a collection of SDXL models to generate a new random painting every hour upscaled to 4K and then broadcasted to my frame using the Samsung WS API wrapper [2].

Neat. What’s the lift from here to get a zero-token spend image upload?
