I've also noticed a meaningful decline in the quality and reliability of several other major software/apps and services - notably Google maps, Spotify, codex. (Is this because of AI?)
Codex, especially, is a strange one - initially I added it beside Claude code thinking it would actually be a higher quality, faster alternative (even if the model/harness is not quite as good at coding as Claude code/opus), and it seemed that way for the first few weeks. At this point though, codex is completely unusable for me - the contexts from different sessions are polluting/mixing with each other, prompt history is mixing/polluting each other. Codex randomly enters safe sandbox mode or whatever multiple times a day per session - it just starts seeing everything as read-only and loses tool and MCP access. It also randomly gets interrupted all the time for no apparent reason - 'your session has been interrupted' - so much for 'autonomous'. And holy shit codex is sooo slow, I'm guessing there are both server side and client side rate-limits, I have the 20x pro plan and I can't even use it up (I use up my Claude code pro 30x in 2-3 days, though to be fair Anthropic usage limits are arbitrary and low), because it is so slow plus all of the issues and constant random stops/blockers that prevent any kind of long-running autonomous work.
Opened a couple codex issues on GitHub for these things - all closed as duplicates. I look at the existing issues - all closed as resolved.
What a horrendous shitshow.
