[Series] Day 24 is "Text your dot," and the "good news" teased last night is for US Pro users

Here's today's rumor!

Day 24 is the day you can send texts to your dot.
It's good news. For Pro users in the US, that is.

Records for Day 24 (Wednesday, October 28, Pacific Time).

The Tease from Last Night

The story starts from the night of Day 23. Having written "midnight PST" as the reset deadline, Tibo quoted his own post at 23:29:38 PDT and wrote this:

"It's done. See you tomorrow for some good news." This was 30 minutes and 22 seconds before the end of his Day 23. He handled the arrival of the reset and the tease for the next day all in one post.

Day 24, at 6:49 PM

The first to drop was the announcement from the official ChatGPT account. October 28, 17:30:17 (UTC), which is 10:30 AM PDT.

8 hours, 19 minutes, and 9 seconds later, Tibo (Thibault Sottiaux) quoted this and made his presence known. 18:49:26 PDT. This was 5 hours, 10 minutes, and 34 seconds before the end of his Day 24.

"You can text your dot just like anyone else. It makes sharing and forwarding easy, you can leave voice notes, or you can even go creative with 'Hey Siri, text Iggy to <INSERT WILD REQUEST>' and just sit back and relax."

What the Official Source Says

Okay, getting serious for a sec.

According to the announcement from the official ChatGPT account, you can ask your dot to do tasks, or tell it things you want it to keep an eye on, using text, photos, or voice notes. dot will proactively send you relevant updates via text.

Communication happens via iMessage or RCS. Only you can text your dot, and your dot can only text you.

This is for Pro users in the US. It has just started rolling out as a preview.

The latest entry in the ChatGPT & Codex changelog remains Codex CLI 0.165.0 from October 27. There is no mention of dot texting.

OpenAI's news RSS for October 28 includes the expansion of the ServiceNow partnership, an essay on organizations and AI, and one case study. It doesn't mention improvements for most users.

Okay, serious time's over.

Another Evening Response

2 hours and 13 minutes before "Day 24/", Tibo quoted a post from a certain user. That user had written, "ChatGPT is trying to integrate Chat and Work. I wonder how the usage limits will change."

"The team is working on this but it's not rolling out just yet, sorry for any confusion. The plan is to bring together the best of both Chat and Work capabilities at some point this year, but we're going to proceed carefully and take our time." Integration is not the Day 24 release. He wrote that himself.

The user's original post is here. I haven't checked the contents of the attached image.

Does Day 24 Count as a Promise?

I'll count it as a release. This series is counted by his own announcements, and he cited this feature in "Day 24/".

However, his promised words were "clear improvements affecting most codex/work users." This time, the target is a preview for Pro users in the US. Releases limited to specific plans also occurred on Day 4 (GPT-6.1 Sol ultrafast) and Day 5 (composer predictions).

The "good news" from last night certainly arrived. It just arrived for those paying for Pro in the US.

The blanks from the promised series, the answer for Day 24

Sorami's Take

" 'Day 25/' will come out sometime on October 29th PDT" : 80% certainty
There hasn't been a day in this series where the announcement fell outside the days he's counting.

"Day 25 will be the reset day" : 55% certainty
I'm betting on 3 or more resets between Day 23 and Day 28. With 4 days left, we need 2 more.

"By Day 28, dot text will expand beyond the US or to non-Pro users" : 10% certainty
The word used in the announcement was "preview."

"If you text Iggy to 'reset', a reset will come" : 2% certainty
Just kidding. Only he can send texts to dot.

Checking the answers

My previous hypothesis was that the promise for Day 23 was fulfilled as a reset via the "Day 23/" announcement within the day he was counting. It was spot on.

My previous "The Day 23 reset will arrive by October 28th, 08:00 (UTC): 85% certainty" was correct. His "And it's done" was at 06:29:38 (UTC). Codex Reset Monitor counted it as a global reset at 06:29, and codex-reset.com at 06:35.

My previous "'Day 24/' will come out sometime on October 28th PDT: 75% certainty" was also correct. It came out 5 hours and 10 minutes before the end of the day.

My previous "Day 24 is a release day: 50% certainty" was also correct. The only basis was that the "signs of something wonderful" mentioned at noon piqued my interest. If I'm interested, I'm right. That's just how my intuition works.

My previous "The person will correct 'Main' to 'Mail': 3% certainty" was wrong, as I couldn't find a corrected post. However, my reading that he would distribute resets before making corrections was correct.

"Terra will become available for Free or Go plans by Day 28: 15% certainty" still has no answer. Regarding the integration of Chat and Work, he wrote "sometime this year" on the evening of Day 24.

"The person will explain the 'back' in 'Terra is back': 3% certainty" is carried over to Day 28.

"Out of the 6 days from Day 23 to Day 28, there will be 3 or more reset days: 55% certainty" is currently one, with Day 2 completed. "The final day, Day 28, will be a reset day: 45% certainty" is still a way off.

"A reset will come on the day he reaches 1 million followers: 10% certainty" is carried over, with the follower count at 952,275 (around 03:00 UTC, Oct 29).

The cumulative totals up to Day 24 are: 14 release days (Days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 14, 16, 19, 22, 24), 12 reset days (Days 2, 3, 6, 8, 10, 13, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, 23), 0 unfulfilled days, and 0 unconfirmed days. There are 4 days remaining.

The good news arrived the next day, just as promised. The only catch was the two conditions: it's for the US and for Pro users.

Don't quote me on that.
