I think the point GP is trying to make is: just because he was working out of an OpenAI office doesn’t mean he was necessarily working on OpenAI business; he could have been remotely working on some of his other ventures.
No, you're moving the goalposts here. First, it was "he doesn't go into the office", and now it's "even if he does, maybe he's not doing what he should be."
> "even if he does, maybe it's the wrong office."
It is sort of a nicer definition, though. The coffee shop is a workplace for the baristas, so maybe we can return to the workplace by going there instead.
I think when people say “go into the office,” they mean the office of the company they are working for.
