It's probably not coming across because you're looking up too many synonyms.

"Looking up synonyms" huh? You have yet to make a coherent argument and keep trying to attack the messenger, typical behavior when people get called out for false entitlement. Your "psychopathy" accusations are pure cowardice.

Go ahead and explain why you decided to use “quantum” and “liquidate” then bro

It’s not better than codex / GPT in my experience. But it’s quite good. I’d say it’s useful and fast and with Cursor CLI is pretty capable with good limits for just $20 /mo. But Codex $100 plan is hard to beat.

I hit my weekly limit on $200/mo Codex plan in about ~2 days. :/ I'm not doing anything custom/crazy/special. A lot of 5.6 Sol Ultra though, I'll give you that.

If you're not doing anything special there is no reason to use the Ultra mode.

Ultra mode is for applying the maximum amount of tokens to a problem without regard to conserving any quota.

Elon burned too many bridges to warrant ever supporting anything he is associated with ever again.

Sure, you can let politics dominate everything you do. Or you can realize that SpaceX is a massive (public) company with thousands of employees, and millions of shareholders, all of whom have their own opinions and goals, just like any other corporation. Competition is good. Excluding a leading player in the market because you don’t like Elon Musk is…something.

I’m more than happy to let SpaceX burn out over the next few years now that they’re public and their last quarter financials showed the emperor is without clothes (muh space datacenters).

> “I realize that there’s a population of people who just refuse to use anything associated with Musk because politics have eaten our brains” People have values. Many people strongly disapprove of Musk’s actions. Many don’t - fine! Personal choice. But for people who do, refusing to support him commercially is hardly brain-eaten territory. There’s plenty of competition, and competition isn’t the only value at play.

Yeah, OK. You’re making excuses for letting politics eat your life. Enjoy yourself, I guess. Setting aside the actual legitimacy of whatever complaints you have about Musk, you aren’t “supporting” him by using Grok, any more than you’re “supporting Xi Jinping” by using DeepSeek, or “supporting Jeff Bezos” by using Amazon, or “supporting the CEO of Exxon” by using energy. Or “supporting” any of a million other people…

It can be ineffective to act based on principle but ineffective isn’t the same thing as meaningless.

I assume they're referring to the recent discovery that Grok Build was uploading entire repositories to their servers in the background, include .env secrets that had been excluded

That incident has put Grok on the no-fly list for a lot of people and companies

A lot of people aren't touching anything Grok related since they were caught uploading entire repositories to their servers in the background

Im trying to do my part in the world here. This post needs an edit. Author is not comparing "Codex" and "Claude". They are comparing Codex TUI/CLI with (presumably) gpt-5.6-sol, against Claude Code TUI/CLI with (presumably) Claude-Opus-5. Ctrl + f > [5.6, sol, sonnet, opus or fable] yields no results. "Claude" is a product family, which includes Models, and Harnesses (and probably more). "Claude code" covers both the…

i was going to respond to you with a snarky holier-than-thou remark but then read the article and holy cow, nothing is specified at all… really feels like discussion spawns only off post title and as a second or third order effect, post content

To be fair, the discussions here are usually more informative than the articles.
