I honestly feel like people are brainwashed by anthropic propaganda when it comes to claude, I think codex is just way better and kimi 2.5 (and I think glm 5 now) are perfectly fine for a claude replacement.
I would say that’s more certain than just a “probably“. I would bet that some of the ridiculous fear mongering about language models trying to escape their server, blackmail their developers, or spontaneously participating in a social network are all clandestine marketing campaigns. The technology is certainly amazing and very useful, but I don’t think any of these terminator stories were boosted by the algorithms on their own.
