We start at 5.0 (default corporate confidence), add points for buzzword gymnastics and benchmark flexing, subtract points if you brought actual shipping receipts, then clamp it between 0 and 10 so the delusion stays numerically manageable.

ORIGINAL POST"Codex now works directly in Chrome on macOS and Windows.

It’s even better at working with apps and sites in Chrome, and now works in parallel across tabs in the background without taking over your browser.

To get started, install the Chrome plugin in the Codex app. https://t.co/pjtHd9gC69"View on X →

WHAT THEY MEANT

Breaking news: We've achieved the technological equivalent of teaching a toddler to chew gum while walking — our AI can now operate in multiple Chrome tabs simultaneously, which is basically like solving world hunger. Our Chrome plugin represents humanity's quantum leap forward in 'background tab intelligence', a phrase we absolutely did not just make up five minutes ago. Prepare to have your entire computational reality transformed by our miraculous ability to do what most background processes have done for decades.

REALITY CHECK

This appears to be a standard browser plugin update with some performance improvements to an existing AI coding assistant. The core functionality remains fundamentally similar to previous iterations, with modest incremental enhancements to parallel processing and Chrome integration. Users can expect a slightly smoother experience, not a revolutionary transformation of human-computer interaction.
