An X post captures the disappointment around OpenAI’s latest launch: employees had posted cryptic hype all day, but the release turned out to be voice mode plus new folders in Codex rather than a GPT-6-style surprise.
The post frames it as the “most disappointing launch day” and suggests the marketing buildup created expectations far beyond the actual update.
