Codex is pretty good. Its friction to switch but I think it’s sensible being across multiple AI toolchains.

  This is what I use now after testing others through 2025 It has the most "UNIX" feel of a simple app that you compose the just right flow from and nothing more

Thing is, if you're using Codex, you're supporting Sam Altman and the idea of Sam Altmans, in the same way that if you use X or buy a Tesla, you're supporting Elon Musk and the idea of Elon Musks. That's a pretty big tax to factor into the usage of such products. If you even got 5% better coding results, would that make up for the future they're trying to build?

  Dario wants to replace you with AI as well. Don't be fooled into thinking he's your friend because he said no to Trump that one time. I'll remind you that Musk used to be the left's hero not too long ago.

    I'm in the "AI could be good for humanity" camp, and in this camp, we believe that Dario/Anthropic is a radically better choice going forward than the alternatives at this moment. In this camp we are not 'fooled into thinking he's our friend because he said no to Trump that one time', we are evaluating the entire set of available information and figuring that Anthropic's the best bet. As for Musk ever being "the left"'s "hero" -- that's amazing, that's what Pauli would call 'not even wrong'.

      Funny of you to bring up "humanity" while singing praise of the guy who's on record A-OK with aiding mass surveillance of anywhere not the U.S., and who's happy to help kill people but just wouldn't do it fully automatically, merely because he doesn't believe the tech is there yet. All while collaborating with Palantir. If by "the best bet" you mean slightly less shitty bet then maybe.

        That’s approximately what I mean. Although in comparison to the alternatives of Altman and Musk, the distinction is stark and significant.

        For 96% of humanity it’s same difference.

  The more Dario talks the less I want to have anything to do with his wares.

No friction in switching coding models.
