OpenAI dropped a ChatGPT Work app.

OpenAI dropped a ChatGPT Work app. Turns out they finally realized calling it "Codex" made everyone assume it was for developers. ChatGPT Work is literally just Codex rebranded under the ChatGPT name. Same features, different label. The site is kind of a mess right now. You scroll through and see two apps both named "ChatGPT." New one is bigger (includes all the Codex stuff), old one is stripped down to just chat. Same icon, same name, two different downloads. Nobody bothered to distinguish them. 🔗 openai.com/index/chatgpt-for-your-most-ambitious-work

Grok has weekly limits now

. No more going wild with it. At least it's not a five hour cap. Last month I burned through the entire $150 monthly credit in three days. Just ran concurrent sessions nonstop.

OpenAI is shutting down Atlas, its AI browser, less than 9 months

after launch. Atlas dropped in October 2025, meant to replace Chrome. ChatGPT sidebar, agent mode, browser memory. All built in. Service ends August 9. Turns out people don't switch browsers. Easier to put AI into Chrome, Edge, whatever people already use than to build a whole new browser. Atlas's core stuff is getting folded into the ChatGPT desktop app and browser extension.

Claude appeal rejected.

Won't refund the subscription either. I'm half convinced the appeal email is itself phishing, because I'm pretty sure they log the IP. DHH came to Shenzhen recently and showed how he uses Claude Code over there. That's the safest way now, honestly: run Claude Code on an overseas machine, connect through Tailscale, never use it locally. So I need to rent an overseas box with a residential IP, and register and log into Claude there.

Sharing my current mobile only workflow.

Until late September it was the usual setup: parked in front of my laptop, terminal open, bossing pi around, fanning out subagents, then eyeballing diffs myself and filing the PR. Glued to the chair all day, every day. Late September I moved the whole thing to my phone, Hermes runs the show, pi takes the orders. My back is very grateful. Three weeks in, still no regrets. Stack: Hermes on flagship brains (gpt-6-astra / opus-5.5), pi on mid-tier (ds-v4.1-flash / sonnet / terra) with as few plugins as possible, the two talking over a2a. Hermes reads the issues, slices them into small tasks, spins up a worktree for each one, and dispatches a pi into it. When a pi finishes it pings Hermes, who decides: ship the PR or bounce it back for rework. I get back from a full day of being a tourist, or just wake up, and a dozen PRs are sitting there done. Pretty sweet. The catch is how black-box the whole thing is. My emotional arc has been a rerun of early vibe coding, except back then I at least read the diffs. Now even that goes to a flagship model. Boxes all the way down. If you don't have data anxiety, grok-bot and chatgpt-dot basically ship this out of the box, grok-cli and codex built in, native agent-to-agent comms. Downside: your code lives on their servers, everything's moderated, and one ban takes it all with it.
