Why Did Codex and ChatGPT Merge? What's Next for Codex? OpenAI Core Leader Answers Everything

In 2026, OpenAI's Codex saw explosive growth, with weekly active users surging over 5x to 5 million since January, driven largely by the February launch of its desktop app. Codex desktop lead Andrew Ambrosino explains key shifts behind its evolution. A core change is the inversion of development costs: implementation is now cheap, while curation and taste—judging which of many AI-generated prototypes is valuable—have become the new scarcities. Ambrosino defines taste as a blend of aesthetics, systems thinking, direction, and semantic coherence in interaction. He notes AI still struggles with design because evaluating it requires human cultural context and abstract reasoning about how components relate—capabilities beyond current models. Timing is critical: the same Codex app would have failed months earlier; success hinges on the model's capabilities at launch. Roles are blurring within his team, with engineers, designers, and PMs overlapping significantly. However, Ambrosino cautions against eliminating specialized roles entirely, as each field retains deep expertise. On AI-assisted development, the focus has shifted from measuring code written by AI to distinguishing between supervised and unsupervised generation. A current challenge is teaching models to simplify code, not just add complexity. The merger of Codex and ChatGPT stems from observed user behavior: non-developers adopted Codex for general knowledge work despite its developer-centric interface. This revealed a collapsing boundary between specialized tools and universal assistants. The vision is a "home base" that orchestrates tasks across external professional tools (like Excel or Premiere Pro) via connectors, rather than rebuilding everything internally. An internal example showed Codex helping edit video by interacting with Premiere Pro's files and even writing a plugin for it. The future direction is a unified, extensible platform that serves as a central hub for automating and managing work across any specialized tool the user employs.

How Difficult is Chip Making? A Division Error Costs 475 Million Dollars

How Hard Is It to Make a Chip? A Division Error Cost $475 Million Chip expert Shi Kan, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a popular tech creator, explains the immense challenges of chip development. Chips are foundational to modern technology, but their creation is extraordinarily difficult. The journey from sand to a functional chip involves complex design and manufacturing, but a critical bottleneck is verification—ensuring the design works flawlessly before costly production. A single, undetected bug can have catastrophic consequences, as illustrated by the infamous 1994 Intel Pentium FDIV bug. A flaw in the floating-point division unit forced a recall costing $475 million. Unlike software, chips cannot be easily patched after manufacture, making "first-time success" paramount. However, industry surveys show only 24% of chip projects achieve this; over three-quarters require at least one costly re-spin due to design flaws. Verification has thus become the dominant phase, consuming up to 70% of the design cycle. The core challenge is a "verification impossible triangle" between high performance, good debuggability, and low cost. Exhaustively verifying a modern CPU core could take 15,000 years with software simulation, or 30 years with advanced hardware emulation—timeframes utterly impractical for development. Despite being essential, verification is often seen as unglamorous "dirty work," receiving less academic attention than fields like AI. Shi and his team are tackling this by developing an agile verification research framework called ENCORE, based on FPGA technology, to improve verification efficiency and debug capability. Beyond research, Shi engages in public science communication through long-form video content, aiming to demystify chip technology, AI, and computer science. He argues for the value of pursuing "hard and long-term" endeavors, whether in the meticulous world of chip verification or in creating substantive educational content, believing such sustained effort is likely the right path forward.

The More Lifelike the Robot, the More Terrifying? Unveiling the 'Uncanny Valley Effect' in the Era of Humanoid Robots

As humanoid robots become increasingly lifelike, they confront a significant psychological barrier known as the "Uncanny Valley Effect," a concept proposed by Japanese roboticist Masahiro Mori in 1970. This phenomenon describes a dip in human comfort and acceptance when robots appear almost, but not perfectly, human. Minor imperfections in facial expressions, eye movements, or skin texture trigger a subconscious sense of unease, as the brain detects something trying, yet failing, to mimic a person. Examples range from the controversial human-like robot Sophia to animated characters in films like *The Polar Express*. The effect poses a key design challenge for robotics companies. Some, like Boston Dynamics, avoid it entirely by creating highly capable but visibly mechanical robots. Others, like Hanson Robotics, push for greater human likeness despite the risk. For consumer robots, especially in homes, most manufacturers opt for stylized or clearly mechanical designs to ensure broader acceptance. While the Uncanny Valley remains a powerful force, its impact may diminish over time through technological advancements that achieve near-perfect realism or through generational familiarity as people grow accustomed to interacting with humanoid machines. Ultimately, navigating this psychological frontier requires as much understanding of human perception as of robotics technology itself.

This Time, OpenAI Eliminated 90% of Human Designers

OpenAI's latest release, GPT-Image 2, marks a paradigm shift in AI-generated imagery, moving beyond aesthetic quality to logical reasoning and contextual understanding. The model introduces a "thinking mode," where it performs background reasoning—such as mathematical calculations and geographic knowledge—before generating images. This enables highly accurate and context-aware outputs, like a livestream overlay showing precise distance metrics or a brand-aligned poster design. The model excels in rendering Chinese text with remarkable accuracy and aesthetic quality, a significant improvement over previous versions. It supports multi-turn conversational editing via the new Responses API, allowing iterative refinements similar to chatting with a large language model. While GPT-Image 2 demonstrates unprecedented capabilities in commercial applications like marketing material and illustration—potentially displacing many human designers due to its cost efficiency—it still has limitations. Minor artifacts in fine text details persist, and complex prompts can cause extended processing times. Additionally, the technology raises ethical concerns around deepfakes and digital trust. Overall, GPT-Image 2 transitions AI image generation from a novelty to a powerful production-ready tool, redefining industry standards and pushing the boundary of what’s possible in visual AI.

Who Makes Decisions for AI Is Drawing a $4 Trillion Watershed

The article argues that the future of AI agents—whether they augment or replace humans—is not determined by model capabilities but by a fundamental design choice: who bears the ultimate liability for AI-driven actions. The key distinction lies in accountability. An "augmented future" requires that every consequential decision made by an AI must be traceable to a specific, named human who had the opportunity to review and reject it. In contrast, an "automated future" emerges when this accountability is removed (e.g., via auto-approval features). The real value of AI agents is not in performing tasks but in compressing complex information into a "signable unit" that allows humans to understand and take responsibility. However, "permission fatigue" naturally pushes users toward automation, making augmentation a design choice that must be consciously enforced. The author proposes that builders of AI agents should bear liability for failures, which would incentivize safer design practices. From a market perspective, an augmentation-focused approach could tap into the $40 trillion global knowledge labor market—far larger than the enterprise software market—by enhancing human productivity rather than replacing jobs. Ultimately, the path forward depends on whether developers prioritize human responsibility or convenience in their designs.
