Au contraire, based on their recent hires, they're just beginning their Facebook phase. Expect to see a lot of ads 2 years from now, and expect to see a LOT of money being made by the company a year after that. If they can maintain runway until then.
oAI rev exceeds $1b per month right now.
At this rate it’s better to start a company and get aquihired vs applying and getting hired. Seems like OpenAI speed ran through the Facebook phase and are out of ideas

OpenAI must justify ads when its competitors are not sending ads. Why would they? OpenAI models must be so good that it should be worth dealing with ads compared to say Claude or DeepSeek.
I'm pretty impressed with the web ui of Codex lately. The cli ui didn't really impress me when it came out (a bit flaky and buggy and tedious to use). But the web UI is nice. I've created a few alright PRs with it. I think I have about 60-70% merge rate, some with manual changes made by me on the same branch. I like the mode of just keeping that stuff on a branch and interacting via Git.
It has its limitations but I do like this UX and DX. And I've so far not experienced any rate limiting on the plus plan.
I'm curious to learn how others are feeling about this. I know Claude Code and other solutions are popular. But how do they stack up in terms of usability and utility compared to codex?

I totally do not understand why Apple did not buy them. It’s not that they have anything like that already.
Not everything, but the majority of the features are built in.
The product is likely just not very viable after that

From my perspective, I'm so tired of ads being the main source of revenue on the internet. If they're added to chatgpt for example I will most definitely be moving to another that has no ads. Probably I don't represent the masses but I hate this rush to the bottom with adverts.
Solve this and you’ll solve the ad problem, but I’m afraid it isn’t possible because money involves controls and regulations which you can’t weasel out of and not end up in jail.

If folks corrupt the integrity of LLM responses, as it were, they’ll destroy the value proposition. More likely the model will be payment for low friction enablement of transactions rather than overt steering. Pick Door #1: the LLM states the product is fit for purpose. Pick Door #2: the LLM will directly complete the transaction or close to it.
> If folks corrupt the integrity of LLM responses, as it were, they’ll destroy the value proposition. Highly unlikely. Google's SERP is an ad-infested abomination that sometimes shows useful results, and yet people still use Google Search. The same will happen with LLMs, except in far more subtle and insidious ways. Instead of showing you ads directly, they will be naturally interwoven in conversations, suggestions,…
