Why OpenAI is merging Codex and ChatGPT and the future of knowledge work | Andrew Ambrosino

Andrew Ambrosino, product and engineering lead for OpenAI's Codex app, describes how cheap AI implementation has inverted product development, making curation and taste more valuable than building, and how role boundaries between designers, engineers, and PMs are blurring at OpenAI. He traces the Codex app's evolution from a developer tool toward a general knowledge-work assistant, discusses why AI still struggles with design and abstraction, and shares how OpenAI dogfoods its own tools to redesign workflows like release management and video editing.
