OpenAI delays adult mode:

We still believe in the principle of treating adults like adults, but getting the experience right will take more time.

A good and fairly obvious call, this was a distraction for a company that is pulled in too many different directions. GPT-5.4 released last week is a great model, but it’s lost in the noise.

OpenAI has an infrastructure advantage and so should be focusing almost everything on model thinking quality, background agents like Pulse that require enormous compute, and the upcoming device from Jony Ive. A new device with a good brand would help too.

I was looking forward to Season 4 of Industry, but found the first episode unwatchable. Lots of yelling. New characters angry and arguing about nothing, dramatic music mocks the awful writing and acting. Does it get better? Reviewers loved it. I've seen this before.
