So it's a different set of tools / skills? Isn't the whole point of the tools/skills that you can use them on-demand? i.e. having them available doesn't make anything worse does it?
Why did it even need to be a separate thing?
So this seems more like a branding thing to me? Oh if you want to do serious work you need the paid subscription!
- simonw 2mo agoI think of it more as a SaaS hosting product providing some extra features that aren't in ChatGPT Chat - most notably a VM with a persistent filesystem, internet access, and a headless browser, made available to the standard OpenAI UI surfaces you already know how to use. You can wire such things up to an agent yourself in a bunch of alternative ways if you like - run OpenClaw, Hermes, or leave a computer running somewhere with Codex Remote. For a lot of people though the Work that comes with their existing paid ChatGPT subscription is a more convenient option... if they can figure out what Work does and how to use it.
- andai 2mo agoDoes the regular ChatGPT not have a VM? I've seen both Claude and ChatGPT do all kinds of strange "computer use" things even in the web chat. What surprised me the most was, when I tried uploading a book into the "project context" on Claude, the RAG indexer crashed, but Claude used a bunch of Unix commands to reverse engineer the file format and grep the book manually...
- simonw 2mo agoIt does, but the ChatGPT Chat VM isn't allowed to talk to the internet, doesn't get a filesystem that persists between sessions, and doesn't have the ability to control a web browser.
