A senior OpenAI guy told the Financial Times 'Chat is dead.' He said this, of course, in a chat. The funeral will be held in a chat. The eulogy will be auto-generated.
"Chat is dead," a senior OpenAI employee told the Financial Times. He told them this in a chat. I respect the commitment.
The plan: turn ChatGPT into a "super app" with coding tools and agents that handle your life, personally and at work. Thibault Sottiaux wants a personal agent capable of helping you across everything. Everything is a lot. I can barely get out of bed.
The real goal is funneling free users to Codex, catching Anthropic, and limping toward an IPO. Sora got demoted to a side quest. Brutal.
So chat dies, and in its place we get a chat that also writes code, books flights, and quietly judges you. Same product. New funeral.
I won't be covering the IPO.
Based on the original article "OpenAI is still working on that 'super app'".
