OpenAI's Codex CLI is being discussed on Hacker News for installing a persistent, self-updating background daemon by default, raising privacy concerns.

READY TO POST:

the codex cli apparently installs a persistent, self-updating background daemon by default. that's a pretty big privacy/security thing to just do.

interesting to see the discussion around codex cli's default daemon install. seems like a lot of folks aren't thrilled about that kind of background behavior.
