OpenAI pushes ChatGPT deeper into work automation

OpenAI unveiled ChatGPT Work, an agent with Codex that can carry out tasks across systems, alongside new GPT-5.6 models. The wire here is simple: the interface is moving from assistant to operator, and the inversion tightens.

SO WHAT — The thousand-day window is narrowing as cognition itself becomes a managed service, not a tool people fully command.

SO WHAT — The window narrows as AI shifts from tool to workplace substrate, and control over that layer matters more than raw model size.
