>The silicon valley pronatalist stance is because they want to be patriarchs in full control of their family.
I am not sure what % of pro-natalists that applies to, exactly, but keep in mind most people in Silicon Valley voted for Clinton/Biden/Harris in 2016, 2020, and 2024 and most are not weird traditionalist cultural conservatives. There are many progressive left-liberal pro-natalists who just 1) don't want humanity to go extinct and 2) know that population decline in a country can lead to various issues, including economic problems. Immigration can help with some of that, but reproduction rate is declining or low in basically every single country and so immigration will eventually also not be a sustainable solution.
I think the majority of vocal pro-natalists are probably right-wing/racist/misogynistic, but the core pro-natalist stance in itself (as opposed to a stance of "whites are being out-reproduced", or something) is, in general, still a completely reasonable and I'd argue moral position.
Unfortunately there are like a billion competitors to this right now (including Playwright MCP, Playwright CLI, the new baked-in Playwright feature in Codex /experimental, Claude Code for Chrome...) and I can never quite decide if or when I should try to switch. I'm still just using the ordinary Playwright MCP server in both Codex and Claude Code, for the time being.
I would use whatever you are comfortable with, I wanted a similar tool so I coded my own. Smaller API so that understand what is going on and it is easy not to get lost
It's insufferable, yes. Even though I'm a left-liberal, it feels foreign to me. Twitter is worse at the limit (endless neo-Nazis and Maoists) but at least I feel some diversity while I'm there. Bluesky is so uniform in the annoyingness of its community.
I used to feel like you do, but I don't agree. I would just say it is not consistent. For a given codebase and given goal, sometimes Claude will be the more sensible, creative, thoughtful planner and sometimes Codex will be, sometimes Claude will make a serious oversight that Codex catches and sometimes the opposite. But the trend for me and seemingly a lot of people is that Claude is a more "human-like/human-smart" planner than Codex (in a positive way) but is more likely to make mistakes or forget details when implementing major codebase changes.
Correct, this is the way. A year or two ago lots of people were saying to do the opposite, but at least now and probably also even then, this is better. Claude is a more sensible and holistic designer, planner, debater, and idea generator. Codex is better at actually correctly implementing any large codebase change in a single pass.
tmux makes it easy for terminal based agents to talk to each other, while also letting you see output and jump into the conversation on either side. It’s a natural fit.
This applies to basically every military and company in every country in all of human history. Nearly every single other country tries to spy on every single other country, including on the US. That's just how these things go.
I think a lot of the younger generation supports it, actually. They didn't really grow up with a culture of internet anonymity and some degree of privacy.
The younger generation is growing up where the internet is a giant dumpster fire of enshitification that a tanker full of gasoline just got poured on in the form of AI chatbots. With agents becoming even easier the equivalent of script kiddies are going to make it so much worse.
Privacy with respect to the government was one of the final pillars, but when everything placed on the internet is absorbed by the alphabets of government agencies, and the current admin does searches of it as their leisure they understand nothing is anonymous anymore.
It's funny that this is what the younger generation is going to think Millennials and older are completely stupid for still supporting. The current structure only benefits corporations and bots.
