Yes, if we just redesign the app so it works exactly for this guy then it’ll be great for everyone.
1.2B people use this thing. Across a bunch of devices. And they’ve grown faster than pretty much any product in history. While the models are getting so good that every few months there’s an entirely new way you could interact with them that wasn’t possible before.
It’s an incredible set of capabilities we’ve never had before in our lives. I’m gonna give them a little bit of grace here. I think they’ll get this right eventually.
The ChatGPT app is now such a clusterf**k.
There's now 4 ways to do similar things!!!
- ChatGPT Chat: you can do web search and some tool calls, but you can't write code on the fly (well)
- ChatGPT Work: it's like Codex (filesystem access + can write code), but in the other tab
- Codex: your projects here don't talk to your projects in ChatGPT
- Dot: how is this different than Work? Besides having a dedicated cloud VM, but it can still work on my computer?
IMO, the ideal hierarchy should be:
1. Workspaces. Everyone starts off with a default one. I can separate out my workspace for "personal stuff" vs "coding projects" vs "work stuff". I can also have my @conductor_build threads in its own workspace so it doesn't pollute my non-Conductor threads.
2. There is no "Chat vs Work vs Codex" - all threads have superset capabilities.
3. Dot is just the master "orchestrator" thread. It can spin up and interact with threads in my workspace, or just do work directly.
Pls fix @thsottiaux.
This reminds of Uber slashing fares and telling drivers “but you’ll make the same or more money because demand will go up!” (Conveniently leaving out the fact that drivers now had to do more rides to hit the same earnings).
I’m not complaining about the move because they were subsidizing the crap out of Pro200 by every logical measurement. Just think the announcement is meh.
Hi,
Tomorrow we are re-opening the Pro $200 subscriptions to new subscribers, but together with it we are also changing how we calculate the usage for it. In effect, if you do the math, it will net out at half the dollar in API spend compared to the old Pro $200 plan.
Now that it's said, let me explain why this is happening and why you will still get more work done than if you were on the Pro $200 subscription one month ago.
(a) We didn't want to compromise in other ways and are committing to not reintroducing the 5h limit, so that you can fully use the weekly usage when you want.
(b) On the subscription, we guarantee that over time you always get more work done and with an increasing level of quality. This means that you will continue to get more value per dollar spent as a result of models getting more efficient and us passing down the improvements in the form of API price reductions.
(c) We don't want to put an incentive on ourselves to artificially inflate the API list prices to make it look like you are getting a lot (and workaround it through discounts, etc). Instead we want to continue to both rapidly reduce prices and increase capabilities of models on the API. This week we introduced GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna at 50% of their previous price. Over time, we see prices go low enough that it makes sense for most to buy usage as needed without there being a significant gap between what you get in a subscription and what you get in the API for a dollar spent.
(d) Tomorrow, we are adding more things to the subscription that won't draw on the usage, I won't reveal what that is yet.
I wanted to be transparent before all the big announcements tomorrow. Lots of new exciting things are coming to the subscriptions that will make it super compelling, but I wanted to make sure to share this change ahead of time so you can all understand it before we shower you with good news.
Codexingly,
Tibo

interesting datapoint for yall: Meta PM pinged me for help w/ upcoming OAI loop a week ago, and today told me they decided to stay at Meta to work on Muse.
would have never happened just two months ago
I love this so much and also... the way this is all playing out on the timeline is so f-ing predictable:
Step 1: Founder yells about something and thumps chest publicly.
Step 2: Person defends themselves "I could never / would never do that / lies lies lies"
Step 3: Founder/CEO of new company jumps in to say the same thing, "This would never happen, lies lies lies."
Step 4: VCs start engaging because they have nothing better to do with their day
Step 5: @clairevo turns it into a banger that points out how ludicrous it all is.
Put down twitter everybody, go outside, touch a blade of grass.
One thing I've been finding myself trying to do since yesterday is command+space "dot" and hoping it'll open Codex. @thsottiaux can you make this work :-) What about if it also responded to its name.

Today, I'm launching a new AI course so you can copy the exact AI skills and workflows that I use to run my work and life.
Since going independent, the most useful thing that I've done with AI isn't trying every new tool or vibe coding apps. It's building an AI system that proactively takes work off my plate and can work across any model or harness.
Across 25+ bite-sized lessons, you'll:
1. Build an AI chief of staff to manage your inbox, calendar, and other tasks.
2. Set up an AI advisor to make better decisions about your life and career.
3. Automate workflows by chaining together reusable AI skills.
4. Make AI proactive with my best scheduled tasks for work and life.
I've included 40+ copy/paste prompts for you to set all this up in an afternoon.
In addition to the self-paced course, you'll also get:
- $600+ in AI tool credits for my favorite tools
- 16 ready-to-install AI skills
- Monthly live workshops with me in a private Slack community of 400+ builders
Get instant access to all of the above by signing up as a paid subscriber to my newsletter: creatoreconomy.so/subscribe?…
Join by October 7 to lock in $150/year. After that, the price goes up to $200/year.

Loved joining @fishmanaf on Startup Dad to wax poetic on reward hacking, dad jokes and fatherhood
AI Transformation has quickly become the new hotness. People are starting companies left and right to solve this problem, companies are hiring their own people to fix it, others are building software that promises to do the same without the need for humans. I have probably been pitched on 7-10 of these companies this week alone.
All of these companies, people, and software assume something that is fundamentally flawed:
If you just build the Software Factory you’ll be “transformed.”
To quote @rabois
"WRONG."
The thing is most AI initiatives are failing because they layer LLMs onto a legacy org chart and they take an “if we build it, they will come” approach.
The problem is that they won't come. Your token-eating pac-man will be fed, fat and happy and your CEO, CFO, Board and anyone whose goal isn't "burn more money on tokens" will be pissed.
AI Transformation is about so much more than building workflows, a harness or two, or that mythical software factory. Yeah, it includes those things but it's not enough. You also need:
1. Persistent, organizational memory and context.
2. Cultural momentum.
3. Actionable org design.
4. Re-thinking processes from top to bottom.
I wrote about #2 (Cultural Momentum) today in the FishmanAF Newsletter. Check it out:

"Just don't feel guilty about screen time" is terrible advice. Jackie Nesi on why guilt is information.
You can love your baby and hate this moment. Both can be true. Jackie Nesi on dialectics and parenting.
Before you decide if your kid is ready for a phone, look at how they've handled every other piece of tech so far. Jackie Nesi, PhD on Startup Dad:
There’s a growing discourse that if you don’t have 1,000 simultaneous agents running in the cloud and managing each other you’re somehow doing it wrong. The reality is that having ONE agent doing stuff is still 2-4x faster than we were before.
Baby steps. You’re gonna be okay.
If Astra can stop doing stuff like this I will be so happy. I don’t care if it gets 100% on a coding test:
“So this still isn’t acceptable. I’m not going to pretend this one is finished.”
Probably because the building part wasn’t the hard part.
Today I published my conversation with Matt Fairbanks of @island_io on Startup Dad.
I learned about the Fairbanks Family Values which grew organically over time, how uprooting the family out of silicon valley was the best move for everyone, and the terrifying story of learning about his daughter's car accident (while he was getting on an airplane for a cross-country flight with broken wifi). Everyone survived, but the mental cost has been large.
Give it a listen; it's an amazing conversation and Matt is a fantastic Dad.
