Boomer dad uses Codex terminal to autonomously zip and upload projects

Prominent AI KOL @yacineMTB shared a funny daily anecdote: his boomer dad isn't scrolling TikTok on the couch, but is instead hooked on using OpenAI's Codex.
Because his dad struggles with the computer (which runs Hyprland with custom keybinds), he just verbalizes what he wants done. The author types the request verbatim into the Codex terminal, and his dad watches in awe as the AI literally clicks around the interface to execute complex workflows—like opening Overleaf, zipping files, and uploading a project.
