Well, now Open AI is back with Open AI 2.0. And once again, I believe that they are embracing an interaction pattern which is not the norm right now, but will be normalized very soon. That pattern is about shared agents and multiplayer AI.
The new Open AI 2.0 featured 933 contributors across 16,000 plus pull requests, and it really is meant to be a complete rework of how the system works from installation, to messaging, to memory, to skills, to automations, to browsers, to plugins, to security, along with a very long tail of other fixes.
I updated and it immediately broke Open AI. Legit 70% plus of the time I update, Open AI breaks it. I've never used any other AI tool where this so consistently happens.
