dr. jack morris @jxmnop · 16h with Codex, i can run 10x the experiments out of these experiments, i can trust about 15% of the results conclusion: i am 50% more productive with codex
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

A wry researcher joke about AI-coding-agent productivity gains being partly illusory due to unreliable results (10x throughput × 15% trustworthiness ≈ 1.5x, generously rounded up to "50% more productive"). Relevant to Nathan's tracking of AI R&D automation/productivity measurement debates already noted in project memory (Anthropic's 50% self-reported productivity claim vs. METR's controlled 20% slowdown finding) — this tweet is a satirical data point on the same self-report-inflation problem.
