Codex for almost everything

Can't help but think the surface area for security issues is becoming massive with these tools

Just got Computer Use working and honestly it feels really, really good. This is going to enable so many high-quality cross-application workflows in non-browser applications.

Only on macOS though? This doesn't seem to work on Linux. Neither does Claude Cowork, not officially.

What does "major update to codex" mean? New model? Or just new desktop app? The announcement is vague.

I wish Codex App was open source. I like it, but there are always a bunch of little paper cuts that, if you were using codex cli, you could have easily diagnosed and filed an issue. Now, the issues in the codex repo is slowly becoming claude codish – ie a drawer for people's feelings with nothing concrete to point to.

SSH to devboxes is the exact usecase for services like https://shellbox.dev: create a box using ssh... and ssh into it. Now web, no subs. Codex can create it's own boxes via ssh

Man this progress is fast.

Its clear that it will go in this type of direction but Anthropic announced managed agents just a week ago and this again with all the biuld in connections and tools will help so many non computer people to do a lot more faster and better.

I'm waiting for the open source ai ecosystem to catch up :/

The first example is tic tac toe. Why would anyone bother? None of those eash things are relevant for people who use AI. They don't care about learning, improving, exploring how things work, creating, being creative to that degree. They want to hit buttons and see the computer do things and get a dopamine rush.
