Both Anthropic's and OpenAI's apps being this janky with only basic history management (the search primarily goes by the titles) tells me a lot. You'd think these apps be a shining example of what's possible.

I’m not sure why some are struggling to understand this. A single "godmode" checkbox would only be possible if every element, the marketplace, the hardware, and the payment rails, were inside one ecosystem. The Switch is Nintendo, Minecraft is Microsoft, the credit card is Visa, and so on. There are simply too many moving parts, making a single killswitch nearly impossible to orchestrate.

Claude Code has been downright bad the last couple of weeks. It seems like a considerable amount of users are moving to Codex, at least judging by reddit posts.

Isn’t F-35 capable of VTOL? Couldn’t they just land on the belly? Or the malfunctioning landing gears disabled VTOL?

All other companies can breath now and start announcing the release dates for their games this year. No one wanted to compete with GTA6.
