I'm not sure how literally you mean "most people". This might be true in a purely volumetric sense, but that's not really the bar around these parts...
I'll bet you know it because you wrote and/or worked on it manually, likely over a period of years. The odds of you knowing a slop codebase that well, or even particularly at all, are much lower.
Ah, an ngrok competitor. It's what we elderly (~40 myself), yelling-at-clouds types call "reverse SSH tunnels", but this is an anachronism from the era of knowing how to do things rather than paying for managed SaaS products to do them. Don't mind me, just yelling at clouds...
> It’s a beautiful Saturday morning with my family here in the East Bay - I don’t know how many more Saturdays I’ll be able to play outside with my kids in the sunshine so I’m going to make the most of the time we have.
I don't know how else to say this. Put... the... peace pipe... down!
Allow me to recommend switching to Kimi K3 / GLM 5.3 / DeepSeek. I use all three for the better part of a year now (DeepSeek via the Reasonix harness) and haven't touched Claude Code in at least as long.
The best take is, of course, from Jason Gorman, who, when the fearsome "capabilities" of Mythos originally dropped, said this:
"Claude Mythos is that guy down the pub who is so good at karate that if he used it on you, you'd die instantly, and that's why you'll never see him using karate.”
In this case, it's more: "I'm having to act with great restraint because my karate is so good. Everyone should do likewise."
The problem hasn't been solved, and, by the very nature of what LLMs are, can't be. However, it has gotten a lot better, as models have got much larger and pretraining more sophisticated.
Part of the difficulty--not in solving, but in discussing--is in defining what a hallucination is. On the face of it, it seems straightforward: an obviously counterfactual claim or manifest error of reasoning. However, it's not always that simple. A lot of what people consider to be hallucinations are misattributions, specious diagnoses, strangely lopsided preoccupations, eccentric design choices, needlessly verbose or circuitous output or explanations, a kind of metaphysical conflation of the trivial with the significant, etc.
I prefer to say that it's all hallucinations so the time... we just happen to like some portion of them.

> In fact [The Bursar] was incurably insane and hallucinated more or less continuously, but by a remarkable stroke of lateral thinking his fellow wizards had reasoned that, in that case, the whole business could be sorted out if only they could find a formula that caused him to hallucinate that he was completely sane.
> This had worked well. There had been a few false starts. For several hours, at one point, he had hallucinated that he was a bookcase. But now he was permanently hallucinating that he was a bursar, and that almost made up for the small side-effect that also led him to hallucinate that he could fly.
Market failure! Market failure is the term you're looking for.
Also see: childcare, healthcare, many forms of public transport and social infrastructure. Some things markets simply cannot deliver well, and that's okay.
Daycare is the most easily reachable example because it's quite simple compared to the others. Daycare workers are simultaneously some of the lowest paid workers in the US, yet daycare costs are famously high and prohibitive, yet childcare centres are very far from money-printing machines. Margins in the daycare sector are most commonly < 1%.
