> How can a company like OpenAI mess up so badly?

It's exactly companies like OpenAI who can mess up like this. It's mostly just hot air, but with a lot of money to burn.

Bjarne Stroustrup is 75 years old. I don't think that age per se tells us much.

> Also, when you toggle btween ChatGPT Work and ChatGPT Codex, nothing changes. This is super confusing.

By the way, it seems ChatGPT is confused as well:

I guess Work can be marketed to MBAs, while Codex cannot.

> I can also imagine the product development internally is moving so fast that they're trying to reconcile everything and can't.

What are they developing? I see no improvements (talking about the frontend / apps, not the models)

Well, at least for me, they are not broken. They are gone.

I had a similar effect on macOS.

It really is a mess. An hour or so ago, the download for macOS was called ChatGPT.dmg. However the app in there was still called Codex. But it installed ChatGPT.

But it seems to be fixed now.

Also, subtitling Work with "For getting work done" and Codex with "For developers" is a bit aggressive towards developers ;)

Sounds like something out of a Douglas Adams novel.

I guess it becomes a problem when the money-hungry people still make money, but the larger organization doesn't.

Keep in mind though that Sony is/was actually a manufacturer of physical media.

> We will reduce management layers to no more than 5, and where possible, 3. We will deliver success through a flatter organization that is built around makers (individual contributors focused on building), player-coaches (leaders who remain deeply involved in the work while developing their teams), and directly responsible individuals (DRIs) who own key decisions and outcomes.

This does sound quite reasonable actually.

Also, I think I didn't read "AI" anywhere, which is refreshing.

But that itself doesn't tell us yet how much time it saved you at the end of the day.

> In many ways, the lack of density actually makes it easier for you to install new lines. It's a lot easier and faster to plow through a long strip of grass next to a highway than it is to deal with a built up ubran location (I've actually done this work).

If endpoints are spread too far out, it's not hard technically to connect them, but it might be very expensive and not feasible economically.

If density is too high on the other hand (say NYC), it's becoming hard to technically connect, because, as you mentioned, there's already a lot of "stuff" there that you have to be careful about. But it might be much more interesting economically.

I think Switzerland just hits a sweet spot between these two. It's dense enough to be profitable but sparse enough to make construction still feasible. So essentially, we're just lucky.

This and also Epstein, which so far resulted in almost no convictions.

Why not? Maybe people already have an account there with payment set up, the console hooked up to the TV and soundbar and don't want do sign up somewhere else?

Furthermore, Sony Pictures is huge, so selling movies is absolutely part of Sony's business as a whole.

My thought as well. "Great" timing.
