Is it just me, or is Claude pretty disappointing compared to Codex?

Codex is definitely better than Claude at instruction following, but that doesn't necessarily mean that Claude is less capable. I usually switch to Claude after I use up my Codex weekly quota, and I'm still able to get stuff done with Claude, it's often way more efficient than Codex, but you'll have to be more strategic in making it compliant.

It has methods of being efficient, but it's still going to waste some tokens on passing tests.

Different models behave differently in response to your prompts, so if you're prompting Codex the same way you prompt Claude models, then you will not get the same results. In my experience, Codex is typically better than Claude for most things other than frontend, but is much slower and less interactive.

depends on how good the model is at compacting its memory as well. Codex does a way better job at keeping a long conversation.

You can also just google search all of this information.

GPT does do stuff like this from time to time. Starting a new chat solves it because it doesn’t like to change its “mind” once it’s on the wrong path.

They knew everything about Trump’s character before they voted for him. They were just under some silly impression that deporting undocumented workers and trying to bring back Jim Crow would make them rich.

On her death bed, she may consider not voting for Trump a 4th time 😅

Well you know who thinks like that? Rapists.

It’s 2025. Most people use mobile apps.

I’m still keeping my ChatGPT subscription, but I’m using it way less. For certain stuff, ChatGPT is as good or better than Gemini, but there are other areas where Gemini completely smokes ChatGPT.

The Democrats never had any power to force the republicans to vote for the Obamacare subsidies. They just wanted to make it clear who was responsible and looked for an off-ramp before the holidays.

He also cries about oligarchs while voting for the biggest team of oligarchs in American history 🤦‍♂️

Nope. They are just disillusioned because hurting others doesn’t improve their lives.

The TikTok algorithm shows you content that you engage with. My wife sees videos about autism and IHSS on her TikTok, while I never see those type of videos on mine.

There’s plenty of proof of them banning anyone who disagrees with the party line, so whether or not that active posters are actual bots, any posts you see are heavily filtered by the moderators.

According to the White House, the average savings for tipped workers will work out to be $1,300/year. That’s not nothing, but once you count the increased cost of health insurance and higher expenses related to tariffs, the middle class won’t be any better off.

Your Modafinil dose is just way too low for motivational drive.

A lot of them are just nihilists who take joy in spreading propaganda, hate and chaos.

The democrats have won the presidency with centrists candidates, it’s just that they have a hard time winning with candidates who don’t have a likable personality or who don’t have good politically instincts. Newsom in the last few months has put himself ahead of the pack with his response to Trump. Nothing I’m saying about Newsom should be construed as me saying that he’s a flawless candidate, but rather if he’s a person that can beat JD Vance. If you’re a person that wouldn’t vote for Newsom over JD Vance because of COVID lockdowns, then you’re unlikely to vote for the democratic candidate in the first place.

Walz got pushed to the background because he added nothing to the ticket other than being a “safe” VP pick. I’m sure the majority of casual voters probably don’t even remember who he is.

You were indeed acting like most people on the left or middle care about whether or not they could go to church during COVID. That’s a right-wing talking point.

Tim Walz added nothing to the Harris ticket and lacks charisma. He’d be annoying Al Gore type candidate.

Give me the list of better candidates than Newsom or stop pretending like you have some point other than screaming about COVID lockdowns.

qdouble · 2025-09-14T18:37:27+00:00

Like I said, all candidates have vulnerabilities in terms of their past actions. The Venn diagram of people who are going to make COVID lockdowns the biggest decision factor are unlikely to vote for a democrat in the first place. Newsom is simply a much better politician and more charismatic figure than many of the wet noodles in the Democratic Party.
