AI as the greatest source of empowerment for all | OpenAI

I will officially start at OpenAI as CEO of Applications on August 18. I am sharing this essay on why I believe AI can be the greatest source of empowerment for all.

If we compared AI capabilities against humans with no access to tools, such as the internet, we would probably find that AI already outperformed humans at many or most cognitive tasks we perform at work. But of course this is not a helpful comparison and doesn’t tell us much”” / X https://x.com/random_walker/status/1946180439045018046
Imagine if every pattern shaped by nature – like a protein’s fold or cosmic phenomena – is inherently learnable by AI. @DemisHassabis shares with @lexfridman that if AI can learn these natural patterns, we could open doors to new eras of scientific discovery. Listen now. ↓ https://x.com/GoogleDeepMind/status/1948098855053979930
Thanks @lexfridman for another super fun & wide-ranging conversation. We talked about the future of video games, the nature of reality, advancing science with AI, the path to AGI… and quite a bit more as usual! Always a blast, already looking forward to next time! 😀”” / X https://x.com/demishassabis/status/1948234351205855458
AI Action Plan https://www.ai.gov/action-plan
America’s AI Action Plan https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Americas-AI-Action-Plan.pdf
buried in @sriramk’s America’s AI Action Plan is endorsement that the US compute market will financialize with spot and forward contracts. this podcast explains why this is so necessary, not just for speculation one of the most consistent themes with @latentspacepod’s GPU https://x.com/swyx/status/1948191143185076235
For better or worse, depending on your view of the future of AI, the only time the letters “”AGI”” appear in the new White House AI Action Plan is in the word “”leveraging.”””” / X https://x.com/emollick/status/1948053856010596384
For what it is worth, few industry leaders, less than a half-dozen companies & no policy-making bodies are taking actions that suggest that they expect AGI is really a few years away. This may be because they don’t believe it or they think it won’t matter much in the medium term”” / X https://x.com/emollick/status/1947673003505971615
RT @typewriters: Happy to see that the @WhiteHouse AI Action Plan includes many of our @arcprize recommendations and prioritizes the values…”” / X https://x.com/jeremyphoward/status/1948281165292671372
The first step towards nationalizing AI developments just happened. “”Priority access (for the Department of Defense) to computing resources in the event of a national emergency, so that DOD is prepared to fully leverage these technologies during a significant conflict”””” / X https://x.com/scaling01/status/1948038740405879206
The White House just made AI evals a national priority: 🎯 Federal standards for testing AI reliability 🧪 Real-world testbeds for critical sectors 🤝 Open consortium for sharing best practices This could be the regulatory unlock for AI adoption in key industries 🚀 https://x.com/dariusemrani/status/1948244456010064175
The White House just released America’s AI Action Plan. I’ve read the whole thing. This document makes it very clear, that this is about “”winning the AI race”” and even compare it to the cold war era. It’s a paper about national-security! Here are the most important quotes: – https://x.com/scaling01/status/1948037110662848925
There is a lot in the AI policy document, including needed attention to changing work & science plus AI evaluations & control Less clear is if there will be investment in its goals (like open weights) or how it interacts with other government policies on education, science, etc. https://x.com/emollick/status/1948047738345582713
This section of the plan will also encourage the development of so-called “”open-weights”” AI models”””” / X https://x.com/Teknium1/status/1947820839178817741
Meta announced plans to build superclusters in Louisiana and Ohio to develop AI superintelligence The first 1GW facility will come online in 2026, while the second, Hyperion, will scale from 2 to 5GW The co is aiming to invest hundreds of billions of dollars https://x.com/adcock_brett/status/1946964248220856425
It’s official: we’re developing 4.5 gigawatts of additional Stargate data center capacity with Oracle in the U.S (for a total of 5+ GWs!). And our Stargate I site in Abilene, TX is starting to come online to power our next-generation AI research. https://x.com/OpenAI/status/1947628731142648113

Today, we’re announcing a preview of ARC-AGI-3, the Interactive Reasoning Benchmark with the widest gap between easy for humans and hard for AI
We’re releasing:
* 3 games (environments)
* $10K agent contest
* AI agents API
Starting scores – Frontier AI: 0%, Humans: 100%

.@sama : “”GPT-5 is the smartest thing. GPT-5 is smarter than us in almost every way.”” Not sure how @OpenAI researchers here like me should be proud or sad about this. I choose to be proud for the moment. 😆 https://x.com/xikun_zhang_/status/1948627882235838482
According to reporting by the WSJ, there are at least ten employees at OpenAI who have turned down $300 million offers from Mark Zuckerberg.

timescope: testing if large models understand long videos or they just claim to do so 🤠 they randomly insert needles (short videos/static images) in long videos and ask questions about the needle itself 🤯 Gemini seems to be the best! very cool work by @orr_zohar et al 👏 https://x.com/mervenoyann/status/1948049876228452788
We now have audited data on water consumption for AI. Over the 18 month lifespan of Mistral Large 2, a 128B model, all water usage (including chats, training; hardware & data centers) took as much water as 678 US households use yearly. Each additional query is 45 mL. (Fixed) https://x.com/emollick/status/1947782699948675528
My bar for AGI is far simpler: an AI cooking a nice dinner at anyone’s house for any cuisine. The Physical Turing Test is very likely harder than the Nobel Prize. Moravec’s paradox will continue to haunt us, looming larger and darker, for the decade to come.”” / X https://x.com/DrJimFan/status/1946593477460189340
My bar for AGI is when all human labor has been replaced by nanobot swarms, until then let’s just keep the hype in check.”” / X https://x.com/_aidan_clark_/status/1947178461765775510
I instinctively believe that the principle of “”denoising””, that is to build examples of structure and order appearing from chaos simply by playing a degradation backward, is extraordinary and can bring AI anywhere.”” / X https://x.com/francoisfleuret/status/1947026623968244008
So strange how most people refer to “”AGI”” generically as one monolith, like they’ll all be the same. There isn’t going to be one AGI, or one type of AGI. There’s going to be an infinite variety of flavors.”” / X https://x.com/mustafasuleyman/status/1947695031462334465
