Folks if you believe this Ed guy, you're soon going be really disappointed.

LLMs are big, Codex app is huge. You can control the browser from within codex app with just natural language.

Tell codex to perform a few actions, you go get coffee and come back to work done. This is real boost in productivity.

How many days in a row can you do this, and then still be able to get things done when Codex is unavailable or the price has been raised to $UNAFFORDABLE?

You can't tell the critics they're completely wrong and not actually address anything they're saying, lol.
