In security, friction is a GOOD thing. You want to have some ceremony to do things. It's pretty much inevitable that people will give up control for convenience.

Look at Artifacts for example.

But codex <> chat merge is what they're giving as the "real reason" for what actually is raising prices (a LOT, I might add) for all the subscriptions. Nobody wants it (certainly not applied globally to everything like it is), but they're still going to do it. I even know someone who works at OpenAI and there's apparently a few people trying to fight it at least internally.

Given Sam Altman's speech about how he wants OpenAI pricing to work, I don't think this can be stopped. Btw: that is that you type something into ChatGPT and instead of subscription or per-token cost or anything like that, as soon as you type something in, anything, the way he sees it, ChatGPT would give you a cost for that specific answer and you'd agree or not.

I just feel like this guy is an even worse example of not seeing the viewpoint of a normal (you know non-millionaire) person than even Google's leadership. Can I just say "I think Google is going to win from Altman", you know, despite OpenAI having the far superior technology. Because if there's one guy in the whole world that can destroy the advantages of OpenAI's engineering accomplishments for everyone else, it's this guy ...

There may be some limited form of whitelisting, but often it is just a facade, as it is very coarse-grained. So, with tools with very broad capabilities (ssh, kubectl, gcloud, etc) you end up with the agent performing unwanted actions.
