Andrew Ambrosino leads development of the Codex desktop app at OpenAI. Nearly 100% of OpenAI employees—not just engineers—now use Codex weekly. A lifelong builder with a background spanning engineering, design, product management, and founding companies, he is now responsible for turning the Codex desktop experience into what he calls “the best desktop app that has ever existed, full stop.”In our in-depth conversation, we discuss:1. Why AI has completely flipped the product development process2. What “taste” really means as a professional skill, and why it is emerging as the most valuable capability in an AI-first workplace3. Why Andrew believes the Codex app would have failed if they launched it last November (vs. in February)4. The “zone defense” model for how product managers at OpenAI operate when everyone can build anything5. How roles are collapsed on Andrew's team, and why eliminating the concept of roles entirely is a big mistake6. How Andrew uses Codex to run his own workflows7. The vision for a home base that coordinates work across ChatGPT, Codex, and the tools people already use.—Brought to you by:WorkOS—Make your app enterprise-ready, with SSO, SCIM, RBAC, and moreMercury—Radically different banking, now with Command—Episode transcript: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/openais-codex-lead-on-the-new-shape—Archive of all Lenny's Podcast transcripts: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/yxi4s2w998p1gvtpu4193/AMdNPR8AOw0lMklwtnC0TrQ?rlkey=j06x0nipoti519e0xgm23zsn9&st=ahz0fj11&dl=0—Where to find Andrew Ambrosino:• X: https://x.com/ajambrosino• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ajambrosino• Website: https://ambrosino.io—Where to find Lenny:• Newsletter: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com• X: https://twitter.com/lennysan• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lennyrachitsky/—In this episode, we cover:(00:00) Introduction to Andrew Ambrosino(02:30) How AI is changing the shape of product work(06:32) When to use documents vs. prototypes(10:25) What “taste” actually means(12:06) Why AI is still bad at design(16:18) Is the design process really dead?(21:35) What the design process looks like on the Codex team(23:41) Are product functions disappearing?(27:22) Team structure(30:12) IC vs. management(31:37) Planning roadmaps(35:16) Building features that don't work yet(38:13) The ambition problem: when you're too AGI-pilled(39:17) The latest frontier: loops and autonomous development(52:05) How Andrew uses Codex to automate his entire job(46:52) The power of computer use and browser automation(49:10) Will we run all our SaaS apps inside Codex?(52:05) The future vision for Codex(57:20) The videographer who built a Premiere Pro extension with Codex(59:30) Failure corner(1:01:50) Lightning round(1:07:03) BTS: How our producer uses Codex for editing—References: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/openais-codex-lead-on-the-new-shape—Production and marketing by https://penname.co/.

Hey everyone, Nilay here. You might remember I took a break from Decoder last year — we had a baby, so I took some leave. In my place, we had an excellent slate of guest hosts, and we've been working hard to bring you those episodes in full video since we launched our official Decoder YouTube channel. So today, we're featuring a really great interview conducted by my very good friend Joanna Stern, now the founder and CEO of New Things, and Ford CEO Jim Farley. Joanna pulled some exclusive news out of Jim at the time, including some telling quotes on Trump's tariff policy, on Ford competing with Chinese EVs, and the company's stance on Apple CarPlay.  Read the full interview transcript on The Verge.

The offseason carousel kept spinning as Washington made a major push by acquiring Jordan Kyrou and Alex Tuch, with Tuch’s new $10.5 million AAV adding another layer to the Capitals’ aggressive retool. Chicago also jumped into the action by landing Bowen Byram and Jordan Greenway, raising the question of whether Connor Bedard is finally getting the support he needs. In Buffalo, Jarmo Kekäläinen takes over with the Sabres still searching for stability in goal, while Ottawa’s addition of William Eklund brings intrigue around where he fits and what Senators fans can expect. Calgary made a bold move of its own by acquiring Simon Nemec and Maxim Tsyplakov from New Jersey, adding more youth and upside to the Flames’ picture. In Edmonton, the Oilers introduced Mike Babcock and DJ Smith, with Ryan Rishaug speaking to Connor McDavid about what the new coaching setup could mean for a team still chasing the final step. Plus, the guys look at whether the Lightning, Penguins, Ducks, Stars, Blue Jackets and Mammoth have more moves coming, and whether Dallas will ultimately move Jason Robertson.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Guest: Brad Panovich, WCNC CharlotteIf you've lived in North Carolina for any length of time, chances are you've turned to one familiar face when the weather turns serious. But being a trusted meteorologist today isn't just about what happens on TV—it's about showing up wherever your audience is, whether that's on-air, online, or in the middle of a rapidly evolving storm. Today on Weather Geeks, we're joined by Brad Panovich, Chief Meteorologist at WCNC Charlotte. For decades, Brad has helped guide North Carolinians through everything from day-to-day forecasts to high-impact events—including more recent storms like Hurricane Helene—building a level of trust that goes far beyond the forecast itself. We'll talk about how his approach to communication has evolved in the age of social media, what it takes to cut through misinformation, and how you balance urgency, clarity, and calm when people are depending on you the most.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Brad Panovich and His Journey02:55 The Evolution of Weather Communication05:54 The Importance of Credentialing in Meteorology08:56 The Role of Trust in Weather Forecasting12:05 Break 112:08 Navigating Social Media as a Meteorologist15:13 Handling Negativity and Criticism in the Digital Age20:13 Understanding Public Perception of Weather Forecasts23:40 Break 224:12 The Role of Social Media in Weather Communication26:28 The Impact of AI on Meteorology30:11 Personal Reflections on the Impact of Meteorology34:26 The Educator's Role in Meteorology ResourcesOhio State University Meteorology Program - https://meteo.osu.edu/UNC Charlotte Weather Communication Course - https://physics.charlotte.edu/ Guest linksBrad Panovich on Twitter - https://twitter.com/WXBradWebsite - https://www.wcnc.com/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@wxbradSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

BTC Sessions Ep. 079: Housing Crash Exposed, Immigration Crisis & Economy on the Brink | Ben RabidouxCanada's private sector is shrinking, homes in Ontario are selling for half their 2021 price, and 525,000 asylum claimants are stuck in a backlog with no real mechanism to remove bad actors. Ben Rabideau has been sounding the alarm since 2021 — and the data is finally catching up.In this episode, Ben Rabideau — one of Canada's most respected economic analysts — breaks down what the headline GDP numbers are hiding, why consumer confidence is as low as the depths of the 2008 financial crisis, and what the Bank of Canada's next move will hinge on. You'll learn why stripping out public sector employment reveals a deeply negative private sector jobs picture, how Ontario's housing market is producing court-ordered sales at 50 cents on the dollar, and why Ben believes single-family prices may be near a bottom — while rentals have years of decline ahead. You'll also get a clear-eyed look at Canada's asylum system vulnerabilities, the immigration fraud pipeline that ran through colleges like Conestoga, and why an AI policy framework written by an art dealer should concern every Canadian.⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 - Intro1:56 - Technical Recession and Population Decline2:39 - Ontario BC versus Alberta Economic Split4:37 - Oil Prices and Alberta Investment Boom6:06 - Government Policy Well Meaning or Incompetent10:12 - Immigration Tightening What Has Changed13:11 - Bank of Canada Rate Cut Binary15:06 - Stripping Public Sector Jobs Picture22:10 - Consumer Confidence at Crisis Lows27:32 - Court Ordered Home Sales at Half Price32:59 - Boomer Millennial Housing Transfer by 2030s39:21 - US Housing 30 Year Mortgage Lock In41:23 - Rising Credit Card and Mortgage Delinquencies48:10 - Bill C 22 AI and Surveillance Issues57:29 - Asylum Backlog and Immigration Fraud1:03:18 - Common Sense Immigration Reforms1:06:54 - Following Ben Rabideau and Edge Analytics

Halo is on PlayStation. Let that sink in. On this one we get into Halo: Campaign Evolved — the full Unreal Engine 5 remake landing on PS5, Xbox and PC on July 28 — and why cutting the multiplayer to protect the "next mainline Halo" might be the dumbest part of the whole thing. Plus the AI controversy Halo Studios can't stop being squirrely about. Then it's GTA 6: pre-orders go live June 25, November 19 release, no PC version, and the $100 price question nobody wants to answer honestly. Spoiler: if you'll pay $70, you'll pay $100, and we explain exactly why. But the one we're actually hyped about is WARDOGS — Bulkhead addressed the "too arcadey" killcam feedback head-on instead of going quiet like every AAA studio does. We break down the ghillie-suit compromise, the hardcore servers, and why devs who actually play their own game are so rare right now.

Ravenloft is supposed to be full of gothic horror, tragic villains, and creeping dread. Instead, we somehow spent twenty minutes imagining a Midwestern Strahd saying You betcha before drinking your blood, arguing about wet burritos, and debating whether North Dakota counts as a real place. By the time we actually opened the book, the greatest horror wasn't the Dark Powers. It was realizing that someone somewhere willingly ordered a hot wet beef sandwich.

Show Notes We finally returned to Ravenloft with The Horrors Within and dug into the new player options from Wizards of the Coast. Along the way we examined the subclasses, talked about what survived from the Unearthed Arcana playtest, and debated whether some of the changes actually improved the designs or simply made them safer. The Reanimator Artificer immediately caught our attention with its wonderfully creepy flavor. We loved the concept of Frankensteining together an undead companion and modifying it over time, even if the final numbers often felt disappointingly conservative. The subclass oozes atmosphere, but several features left us wishing Wizards had trusted the design enough to let it hit a little harder. The College of Spirits Bard received some welcome improvements from the playtest version. Moving the random spirit effects away from mandatory immediate use made the subclass far more practical, and controlled channeling solved many of the frustrations we had previously identified. This version finally delivers on the fantasy of consulting strange entities from beyond without constantly fighting against the mechanics. We also revisited the Grave Domain Cleric and looked at the redesigned Path to the Grave. While the old version was undeniably flashier, the new implementation is much easier to use in any party composition. It may not create those huge cinematic damage spikes anymore, but it provides reliable support every time it comes online. As always, our review quickly spiraled into side discussions involving Call of Cthulhu, sturgeon festivals, Midwestern rivalries, taxes, and the eternal mystery of why so many fantasy character illustrations are suspiciously attractive. That's just another day at the RPGBOT.Podcast. Key Takeaways Ravenloft: The Horrors Within delivers strong gothic flavor and some excellent artwork. The Reanimator Artificer has fantastic thematic design but several mechanics feel overly cautious. Lightning interactions with the undead companion create some amusing and creative tactics. College of Spirits Bard benefited significantly from feedback and is much easier to play effectively. Controlled Channeling fixes many of the frustrations from the Unearthed Arcana version. Grave Domain Cleric lost some of its explosive potential but gained consistency. The revised Path to the Grave works better across a wider variety of party compositions. Several subclasses showcase great ideas that feel slightly undertuned. Flavor and atmosphere are consistently strong throughout the book. No matter how serious the subject matter becomes, the conversation will eventually derail into food arguments, regional insults, or bizarre fantasy accents. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

It was 2020. The world had just flipped upside down, and Andrea Mancuso's older brother was in the ICU with COVID. Andrea had a master's in therapeutic intervention. Fourteen years as a school psychologist in the New York City public schools. A whole career built on clinical skills and helping people through hard things.   And in those few days, she lost access to every bit of it. She was just afraid, wondering what was going to happen.   After three days, she sat up and told herself: you're either going to navigate this pandemic like this — which is no good for you or anybody else — or you're going to do something different. That was the day Intentional Healing and Wellness was born.   In this episode of Amuse Bouche Leadership Bites, Theresa sits down with Andrea — licensed mental health counselor, leadership coach, and the person who's helped Theresa through plenty of her own challenges — to talk about the part of leadership nobody hands you a handbook for.   They get into why entrepreneurship is personal development on steroids, why leading other people is the easy part and leading yourself is the work, and Andrea's premise that time does not heal all wounds — intention does. She shares the 82-year-old client who hired her at 80 because he was tired of feeling like he wasn't good enough.   Andrea breaks down emotional intelligence as the EQ advantage — the leading predictor of leadership success that almost nobody can actually name the skills of — and makes the case for radical responsibility: stop waiting for your employer to develop you and invest in yourself, because success leaves clues.   And there's the car. Are you in the driver's seat with the windows down and your music on — or in the back seat, waiting to see who gets in, how fast they drive, and whether they even show up?   Here's the real question this one leaves you with: what's the thing that already popped into your mind — the one that needs your attention? Because the moment you give it attention, you set yourself free.   Key Takeaways: • Leadership isn't really about your relationship with other people — entrepreneurship taught Andrea it's about how you lead yourself. • It's harder NOT to do the inner work. Convincing yourself it's too hard to look keeps you stuck at a ceiling you don't belong at. • Time does not heal all wounds — intention does. The wound that's already on your mind is the one asking for attention. • Emotional intelligence is the leading predictor of leadership success, yet it's made up of 15 skills almost no one can name. That gap is the EQ advantage. • Flexibility is one of those EQ skills — and we're rarely the best judge of our own. We see ourselves one way; the people around us see something else. • Radical responsibility: don't outsource your growth to your employer's training budget. Invest in yourself — coaching, therapy, even just the book — because success leaves clues. • Hard skills get you hired; human skills make you a leader. Andrea saw it as a school psychologist — high EQ predicted who'd be fine far better than IQ ever did. • You're not just the writer of your story — you're the director, the producer, and the lead. Living as if life happens to you is riding in the back seat. • When you promote someone, clarity and training aren't optional. You can't hand someone a 'handbook of excellence' and expect them to know how to lead.   Timestamps / Chapter Markers: 00:01   Meet Andrea Mancuso 01:20   Who Andrea is: Intentional Healing and Wellness, leadership + midlife coaching 01:55   14 years as a school psychologist — the one part of life she thought she had figured out 03:20   The golden handcuffs — the NYC package she felt committed to 04:00   2020: her brother in the ICU, and losing access to every skill she had 04:32   After three days Intentional Healing and Wellness is born 05:01   September 2021: pulling the plug and jumping fully into entrepreneurship 05:35   The program that started it all: Momentum Education, July 2016 06:55   Forget Tony Robbins — just become an entrepreneur (personal development on steroids) 08:10   The reframe: leadership is about how you lead yourself 08:16   Why entrepreneurs hide instead of being themselves 12:23   The lie that keeps you at your ceiling 13:31   "I can't believe I was afraid of this.

***"We're entering the Bitcoin golden era with all the new technologies we're discovering because for the first decade Bitcoin was still very, at least for the first five, six years, there was so little capital in the industry that not a lot was getting built. Plus Bitcoin still had all these early on issues. Now we're getting to the moment where Bitcoin is extremely solid. It's a trillion dollar industry, right, or a trillion dollar asset. So I think we're just entering the golden era." ~ Gustavo Flores*** I sat down with Gustavo Flores, the CEO of Aureo, Mexico's Bitcoin platform, and this conversation went far beyond just building software. Gustavo actually left Canada for Mexico because of the intense COVID mandates. He recognized the red flags of government overreach early on and refused to stick around. But what he found in Mexico was a completely different beast. We talked about the harsh realities of building a Bitcoin company in a low-trust society where people are conditioned to expect scams. And yet, Gustavo and his team are building some of the most impressive tools I have seen. They figured out a way to route local fiat directly to a self-custodial Lightning address, without even the need of a middleman to hold your keys. It just works. We also talked about the heavy lifting required to run La Casa de Satoshi, a physical Bitcoin hub in Mexico City. It takes a severe amount of irrational optimism to be a founder in this space, but the effort is paying off. Plus, we got into the weeds on why Lightning development is actually moving faster than people think. If you assume the best era of Bitcoin development is already behind us, you need to hear this conversation.

Ravenloft is supposed to be full of gothic horror, tragic villains, and creeping dread. Instead, we somehow spent twenty minutes imagining a Midwestern Strahd saying You betcha before drinking your blood, arguing about wet burritos, and debating whether North Dakota counts as a real place. By the time we actually opened the book, the greatest horror wasn't the Dark Powers. It was realizing that someone somewhere willingly ordered a hot wet beef sandwich.

Show Notes We finally returned to Ravenloft with The Horrors Within and dug into the new player options from Wizards of the Coast. Along the way we examined the subclasses, talked about what survived from the Unearthed Arcana playtest, and debated whether some of the changes actually improved the designs or simply made them safer. The Reanimator Artificer immediately caught our attention with its wonderfully creepy flavor. We loved the concept of Frankensteining together an undead companion and modifying it over time, even if the final numbers often felt disappointingly conservative. The subclass oozes atmosphere, but several features left us wishing Wizards had trusted the design enough to let it hit a little harder. The College of Spirits Bard received some welcome improvements from the playtest version. Moving the random spirit effects away from mandatory immediate use made the subclass far more practical, and controlled channeling solved many of the frustrations we had previously identified. This version finally delivers on the fantasy of consulting strange entities from beyond without constantly fighting against the mechanics. We also revisited the Grave Domain Cleric and looked at the redesigned Path to the Grave. While the old version was undeniably flashier, the new implementation is much easier to use in any party composition. It may not create those huge cinematic damage spikes anymore, but it provides reliable support every time it comes online. As always, our review quickly spiraled into side discussions involving Call of Cthulhu, sturgeon festivals, Midwestern rivalries, taxes, and the eternal mystery of why so many fantasy character illustrations are suspiciously attractive. That's just another day at the RPGBOT.Podcast. Key Takeaways Ravenloft: The Horrors Within delivers strong gothic flavor and some excellent artwork. The Reanimator Artificer has fantastic thematic design but several mechanics feel overly cautious. Lightning interactions with the undead companion create some amusing and creative tactics. College of Spirits Bard benefited significantly from feedback and is much easier to play effectively. Controlled Channeling fixes many of the frustrations from the Unearthed Arcana version. Grave Domain Cleric lost some of its explosive potential but gained consistency. The revised Path to the Grave works better across a wider variety of party compositions. Several subclasses showcase great ideas that feel slightly undertuned. Flavor and atmosphere are consistently strong throughout the book. No matter how serious the subject matter becomes, the conversation will eventually derail into food arguments, regional insults, or bizarre fantasy accents. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

Recently, Professor Avi Loeb was tasked by the White House, AARO, ODNI, and the FBI with assembling and leading a new UAP Science Advisory Council — comprising astrophysicists, AI experts, and psychologists — to advise the intelligence community on unidentified anomalous phenomena. It was announced the same week the government released its third batch of declassified UAP files. Now he joins us live to talk about what that actually means — and what it doesn't. This is not a "the aliens are here" stream. It's the harder conversation. I study the cosmic microwave background, and when we find an anomaly, we exhaust every instrument artifact and foreground before anyone whispers "new physics." I want to know why UAP science should run on a different evidentiary standard — and Loeb is exactly the right person to push on it, because he's already attributing much of the released footage to cosmic rays, balloons, and possibly Chinese drones, while holding the door open for the small fraction that stays unexplained. WHAT WE GET INTO: - The council, its mandate, and the question nobody's asking: does "advisory" mean anyone has to listen? - The orbs — Chinese surveillance drones, classified US tech, or something else — and the prior you'd need before you say "non-human" - Whether "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" gets applied selectively - AI in the Galileo Project's detection pipeline, and the false-positive problem: what's the training comparison class for "non-human technology"? - The critique that a council built to study the object ignores where the data actually comes from — human witnesses GUEST: Professor Avi Loeb — Frank B.

Guest: Seth Borenstein, Associated PressEvery day, new scientific discoveries shape the way we understand our world — from extreme weather to the changing climate. But most of us don't read scientific journals. Instead, we rely on journalists to translate complex research into stories that inform the public and help us make sense of what it all means. Today we're joined by Seth Borenstein, a veteran science reporter with the Associated Press who has spent decades covering everything from hurricanes and heat waves to the latest breakthroughs in climate research. Over the years, his reporting has helped bring critical science stories to audiences around the world. In this episode, we'll talk about how science journalism has evolved, how the media approaches reporting on Climate Change, and what it takes to translate complex science into clear, trustworthy stories for the public.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Guest Credibility01:43 How Seth Became a Weather and Climate Geek04:02 The Evolution of Climate Science Narratives07:47 From Uncertainty to Scientific Certainty11:53 Finding and Vetting Credible Scientific Sources16:04 The Role of AP and Wire Services in Science Reporting17:48 Break 118:16 Challenges and Opportunities in Science Journalism21:52 How Seth Finds His Experts25:03 Impact of Social Media on Climate and Weather Reporting27:57 Dealing with Disinformation and Misinformation28:39 Break 229:46 Memorable Stories and Impactful Reporting32:20 Embedded Reporting with Storm Chasers34:15 The Human Side of Weather Disasters36:55 Advice for Future Climate and Science Journalists39:25 Where to Find Seth's WorkSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
