I just installed this. I am very confused. I no longer have a Codex app on my computer. ChatGPT is now Codex. But what happened to ChatGPT? Where am I supposed to casually chat? Also, when you toggle btween ChatGPT Work and ChatGPT Codex, nothing changes. This is super confusing. Can someone from the OpenAI team clarify the difference btwn the modes? Does chatgpt work have more business-y related plugins turned on by…

So let me get this straight: 1) If you have the Codex desktop app installed, and you update from within the app, it replaces itself with the new chat-demoted-to-an-overlay app called "ChatGPT" and renames your existing ChatGPT app to "ChatGPT Classic." 2) If you get the new ChatGPT app and replace your current app with it, you don't get a "Classic" app and there's no way to download it. 3) They really named an app "C…

the dmg for chatgpt used to have the bundleID of com.openai.chatgpt, now the ChatGPT bundlID is com.openai.codex.

the website for downloading the new chatGPT ( https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/app ) has a big download button in the middle of the page that links to "https://persistent.oaistatic.com/codex-app-prod/Codex.dmg"

wtaf OpenAI... pick a freaking lane! what did you vibe code this ?

Lol, this has Google energy.

when the middle management ghouls demand that the codex and chat teams synergize at the expense of the architecture and users. lol

Sad, I liked that ChatGPT had a native app on macOS. I don’t understand why OpenAI and Anthropic have to rely on vending universal apps when their whole MO is code being dirt cheap.

I look forward to John Gruber’s screed on this given his recent rampages against Electron apps, and his preference for OpenAIs native macOS app (relative to Claude).

It's less a screed and more of a reasoned argument, in this case. The Claude app is ass, as are most electron apps compared to native.

Lol what a shit show. It was fine the way it was. Why'd you break it, OpenAI? What product manager talked you into thinking this was a good idea? Don't they have access to ChatGPT to talk them out of it? Of course, I'm a random on the Internet who doesn't get it, but what a dumb move. ASI can't come fast enough.

> ASI can't come fast enough.

ASI is a myth used by these companies to justify their pursuit of regulatory capture.

It looks like the ChatGPT is a very strong brand despite the confusing name (who the hell knows what GPT stands for?)

Doesn’t really matter what it stands for. ChatGPT is one of the most recognizable brands in the world right now.

It never matters. Remember 'Google'? People thought it was the dumbest / dorkiest name ever.

it's interesting to watch a bunch of iq-worshipping rationalists learn in real time that above some threshold greater intelligence does not matter much to people, except insofar as it allows them to spend less time doing the thing they hate: working, that is, any activity where the whole point is to be done with it. most of life is not like that. work is like that. so work is where greater [1] intelligence could in principle be valuable.

[1] to use this "greater" we have to imagine we live in the fantasy world where we can measure it in one dimension.

Chat is there... it's just can't be in a full-screen anymore.

Not allowing full screen is the most insane thing for a “chat app ported from the web”… the browser probably has a better experience now…

Always was better IMO. I just pinned the browser app as a desktop app and have been using it that way for many months. Works great.

AppKit and SwiftUI and WinUI are all meh for rendering lots of text. Chromium is quite good at it. Plus they have lots of embedded web content these days and managing webviews is a relative pain vs it all being one webview

It's fairly simple sans-serif text with some markdown formatting, eh?

There's actually something interesting about the Work tab on the ChatGPT website:

As a ChatGPT Plus user, the maximum effort level I can set in the Chat tab is "High", but in the Work tab I can set it to "Extra High" and even "Max".
