Hello OpenAI. I would like free codex forever permanently. That way, I will not have to provide 200$ for rent to be able to do my job indefinitely until I die https://t.co/RQIyVbVWRc

Hey @OpenAI: I just applied to @AnthropicAI's program where they're giving away tokens to open-source core contributors. Ain't many more core than me, I'm thinking. If they subsidize me, I'm likely to move to Claude to keep my costs down. But I actually rather like Codex CLI and 5.3 and would prefer not to switch. Please consider matching their offer to open source developers. While I would take an individual deal where I get API credits and say nice things about OpenAI's public-spiritedness because you gave me credits, it would be better if more of the community than just me got help building useful things in open source. Thanks in advance for your consideration.
