## Summary

At Office Hours, OpenAI Chief People Officer KC said the words junior and senior lack meaning as models advance, because experience relevant to a given context fades quickly. KC described modern work as a model "brain" inside a harness like Codex or Claude Code, with people increasingly managing agents, and said emotional intelligence now separates people.
