Cursor, Codex, and Claude Code desktop look exactly the same now.
I was wrong. Everyone is building the same thing. Which will create competition. Which will create acceleration. A race to create the best superapp. May the best AI lab win.

View quoted postThis guy works on the Codex team... I'm telling you, it feels like Anthropic on a tear right now with no competition. But it's calm before the storm for OpenAI. Codex is about to become a super app. I'm not sure what order they're going to release the more general agent features, but i'm excited. They're about to go on a generational run. TBH, they kind of have to. Random thoughts as a power user who is semi-technical and wants to use it to run a startup: - Codex is very bare bones, which is why i like it. Hope they don't go overkill with too many new screens etc. - I'm guessing they're building an in app web browser (like cursor). I wonder how deep they will go with the atlas features, like browser automation. - I hope they don't release like a "Codex Cowork" feature or something like that. ChatGPT, and Codex. You don't need any intermediate feature. - Just make codex better, the left side bar is elite - each thing your working on has it's own folder and you can create many threads. That's wonderful. Keep that same interface for general use agent tasks. - When you ask the agent to do many tasks it should be able to autospin up new multiple threads. (Maybe ask userquestion before spinning up new ones to get clarity on the individual tasks. The next three weeks are going to be insane. I'm hyped.
What is the best OpenSourced model to use with Openclaw / Hermes. Going to make some videos this week on the topic i need your input.
Personally I don’t see the point of Cowork. I don’t even see the point of chatgpt or Claude anymore. I either want to talk to a claw (agent with all my skills running on a persistent computer with NO guardrails in iMessage or telegram) or i want to use Claude Code or Codex app for coding.
Codex App > Claude Desktop App
I think Codex 5.4 is so smart that it thinks simple UI tasks are just a pointless endeavor. I can't prove it but i feel like it scoffs at me when i ask it to make a minor layout change. Yesterday I built a swift iOS app, that is basically a replit clone with sandboxes, datbase, and i can edit and preview my app... One shot 40 minutes of work on codex x high. Unbelievable... The prompt alone took me an hour. Then I SPENT 3 HOURS trying to make a minor change the ui and i had to switch to claude code. I swear the model was punishing me for giving it boring work.
If you think these protests against AI and data centers are bad now… Just wait. I don’t think we’ve seen anything yet I’m genuinely concerned.
Yeah, let’s bookmark this one
The best part of working at OpenAI is that our mission is literal. We want everyone to have access to superintelligence. No hiding our best model for only powerful companies. You get the power.

There is no bigger gap in the market than education right now. Nothing Karpathy could build over the next year would be more valuable than him making 10 YouTube videos.
Remember coding languages?
Codex 5.4 is actually so strange. I've noticed the BIGGER the task i give it the better it does.
Is Hermes better than OpenClaw or is it yet another psyop on the timeline?
I’ve been following AI since mid 2022 (Dall e 2 and midjourney). What made this space so fun is anyone with $20-200 could be at the frontier. This is what separated LLMs and diffusion models from most innovations in history. Now, this is no longer true. It’s just kinda… sad

RT Wes Roth Apple has quietly halted App Store updates for popular AI "vibe-coding" applications most notably the $9 billion startup Replit and mobile app builder Vibecode.

RT Willem THE BLEAKNESS OF THE BRAND AGE... PG’s essays on builders and innovation are some of the clearest thinking about the startup world. They are essential. But when he writes about art and design, he tends to apply an engineer's lens that flattens the subject. In this piece he frames design as something to solve and brand as something like the decorative facade constructed when real innovation runs out... He goes on that at the end of golden ages we are met with a bleak reality that the hollowness of brand is all we can compete on. Early industries compete on technological advancement. Later, when products become indistinguishable, companies compete on brand. He frames it as a cosmetic layer applied to otherwise solved problems. He makes a similar move in his essay How Art Can Be Good, resolving artistic quality as something judged objectively by an audience rather than as personal expression (I find this take particularly jarring given his background studying painting at RISD, one of the more intuitively-driven art schools.). The premise assumes that the only meaningful axis of improvement is technical performance. Once precision, efficiency, or cost reach a plateau, the remaining differentiation is treated as superficial, or worse, as a distortion. But value rarely evolves that way... In most product categories, value tends to evolve in layers. At first, the question is functional: does it work at all? Then it becomes experiential: how well does it work, and how does it feel to use? Eventually the frontier becomes cultural: what does this object express, and who does it belong to? Engineering dominates the first phase. Design often shapes the second. Brand emerges in the third, when products begin to carry shared meaning. As industries mature, competition shifts toward these cultural and human needs: what identity a product signals, what kind of world it helps create. As makers, we start by solving the functional problem. Over time the work moves up ...
