AI community drama: woman dev harassed for weeks over infinite Codex tool, male copycat spared
uwukko · x · 2026-09-15
A look back at AI community drama: a developer (Maria) who built a tool enabling unlimited Codex sessions was harassed for weeks and vilified once it got patched — the author argues largely because she's a woman working for Theo. She notes the patch was inevitable given compute shortages (see the x20 pro pause), and points out that weeks later a man built a similar tool with zero backlash, calling out the community's double standard.
