You’re living in a bubble. You need to understand that a whole world lives beyond the constraints you have manufactured or imagined. For example the codex harness provides very little in terms of actual functionality - the same goes for most coding harnesses. They will be generally superseded by more capable specialized harnesses. Even if you scoped codex to only a coding-focused harness - which it really isn’t - it is lacking compared to purpose built coding harnesses that compete with it. Right now labs have the advantage and can somewhat dictate terms but you should not believe that will be true forever. There’s seemingly a belief that we should be thankful for the (limited) capabilities we’ve been given- that we should allow a few companies in the world to dictate what we can and can’t do with technology. That’s never worked before and nothing makes this tech any more defensible. In five years we will almost certainly be consuming local models for a majority of daily tasks, and for the things that can’t be done locally it’s going to be entirely commoditized. Once that’s true it means vendors will have to start competing by giving up more to the customer rather than the increasing restrictions being done today.
