Original post

Took about 10 minutes for codex on xhigh fast to open the file manager do a right click and inspect the context menu. Claude cowork just couldn't do it. This is all with me only msging it through the mobile app to not interfere on accident

Watching codex or Claude Cowork use the gui is excruciating. Good to know we are still better at something (by a lot)

Nvm 10 min. It's been going about 1 hour now, I left for a swim came back and it's still running. Trying to right click.
