Codex appears in debates over AI coding, automation, and OpenAI’s product rollout
Alex Wilhelm said he uses Codex skills for pair editing that preserves his tone and jokes while correcting grammatical problems, as Lon Harris questioned whether automation could eliminate jobs.[1]
Peter Diamandis discussed Codex alongside OpenAI announcements, including UltraFast performance of up to 300 tokens per second and a $500 monthly pro tier.[2]
Jack Raines grouped Codex with Claude Code and Cursor as coding assistants initially used mainly by tech insiders rather than average consumers.[3]
Jaime Pesquera relayed a joke about an OpenAI financial plugin for Codex supposedly killing 1,000 startups, then argued startups should understand where they provide value.[4]
