@signulll I found myself using web on desktop for normal chat stuff anyway so it's fine for me (and I think most people). The desktop app is where serious work happens. I think that separation is fine.
@signulll Codex showing up everywhere makes sense now. OpenAI finally realized 1B chat users don't convert to work product users automatically.
@signulll People just need to make the leap to codex, embrace it and be set free. It’s actually a very smart product move
@signulll It’s almost as if they have no clue what they’re doing
The critics say workspace tabs break the simple conversational UX.
@signulll What you described is enshittification

let me get this straight: chatgpt got to 1b users by teaching ppl to live inside chat threads in the left sidebar. the mobile app still works that way. then the new desktop app demotes chat to a customer support pop up, makes “work” the real product, leaks codex everywhere for normal ppl, breaks normal window behavior, & throws everyone into the deep end with no explanation? you took the most familiar ai product on earth & redesigned it around your org chart. remarkable.
looks like they are addressing that chat is now gone & likely bringing it back. but a great product team should anticipate this. i mean this is universal at this point. https://x.com/i/status/2075641131002700120
anthropic 'chat | cowork | code' us: this is ridiculous to have all these tabs openai 'work | code(x)' everyone: we need another tab for just chat!
