OpenAI's Everything Strategy: Agents, Adult Chatbots, and a Browser to Replace Chrome

OpenAI's Everything Strategy: Agents, Adult Chatbots, and a Browser to Replace Chrome

OpenAI now has AI agents for developers, a ChatGPT Atlas browser to compete with Chrome, OpenAI Codex for coding after acquiring Windsurf, a Sora 2 social app, Stargate, its own chips, and a newly lifted ban on adult chatbot content. Juan and Kate ask the question nobody's really answering: is this a plan to build AGI, or is OpenAI just chasing returns on a capital pile no single product could justify?

They also get into the growing AI resistance — coders, students, and workers pushing back on generative AI — and where the line is. What AI use could get you fired? Is human-made work becoming the new premium, the way organic food did in the early 2000s?

Where's your line in the sand with AI?
