Comms @OpenAI. Recovering political flack, mom to a redheaded toddler & keeper of beagles. Views are mine.

How is it possible no one is talking about the fact that West thinks this is only a time out for him on Summer House and that he’ll return? That’s the headline!

@deanwball @OpenAI Welcome! Excited to have you on the team!

[Kate Waters @KMB_Waters]

There are lots of people who think AI should be some abstract race to build the most powerful thing, I'm not one of them. This is what it's really all about. It should help people solve problems that matter, like giving doctors better tools and parents faster answers. https://t.co/6z0uFcJxMj

[Sam Altman @sama]

We offer no explanation as to why Noams are so good at AI; we attribute their success, as all else, to divine benevolence.

[Kate Waters @KMB_Waters]

@mviser such a good spot!

[Kate Waters @KMB_Waters]

I scrape up against the framing of “even in a world with AIs that are better than everyone at everything, humans can live lives of deep purpose.”

Being human is not a task. AI is never going to be better at grieving than me, or at loving my kid. Or a bunch of other things that can't be benchmarked.

Of course we need the brightest people thinking through the implications of this technology. But the frame should center the value of humans from the start: AI should expand what people can do with their lives, not create a world where people learn to cope from the margins.

Today I'm publishing a new essay, Policy on the AI Exponential. AI is progressing extremely fast—much faster than the policy process was built to handle. The essay lays out where I think the technology is now, and the action needed to close the gap: https://t.co/Lh6PWae178

I quit twitter for a couple of years so it’s really nice to see my old friend still at it now that I’m back.

Liza Minnelli has outlived Ariana Grande’s relationship with Ethan Slater. The couple, who met on the set of Wicked, have split after nearly three years together.

One of my favorite parts of OpenAI is how *open* it really is

This plan was shared internally and generated considerable feedback from everyone

And now its shared externally, and we expect feedback, once again

The stakes are way too high to be operating in the dark

@jaketapper it's enough. I (someone who had very few interactions with the president) was in an unimportant midday meeting that summer where he clearly exhibited decline. colleagues who interacted with him more regularly acted sheepish. we all own a piece of this and need to reckon with it.

[Rohan Paul @rohanpaul_ai]

Sam Altman's new interview: AI should not be designed to pursue goals that are disconnected from human needs. People must remain at the center of AI development.

“I have no interest in building a super-smart AI that accomplishes some non-human goals. People should react. People should say, ‘Hey, this is what I want, and this is what I do not want.’

I do not think the issue is that we have failed to explain the benefits. We say, ‘AI is going to cure a bunch of diseases,’ and people say, ‘Okay, that is great, but that is not really my question. My question is: What is my role in the future? What is my economic future? What is my agency? How do I know that my kids and my family will still be able to have fulfilling, creative expression, struggle, drive the world forward, grow, and do this thing together in a way that has worked for a long time?’

When people in AI say, ‘Sure, there are going to be no jobs,’ or ‘50% of jobs are going to go away,’ or ‘90% of jobs are going to go away,’ and ‘AI is going to be smarter than you at everything,’ and ‘We will give you some basic income, but you are not really going to have a role,’ that is horrible.

And by the way, if an AI company says, ‘Maybe we are going to destroy all the jobs, and we will be the most valuable company in the world,’ people should look at you like, ‘Yeah, that is a terrible message.’

I do not think the problem is that we have not articulated the upsides. I think people actually believe us. They hear, ‘AI may cure your cancer,’ and they think, ‘That sounds great.’

I think we, as an industry, have failed to explain how people stay in control of determining the future at every step, and how people can still have a meaningful life in all the ways we care about.”

Over here we're building ai that will help america's parents deal with those annoying summer camp signups. 🙃

I have personally heard Anthropic people talk about building God

[Kate Waters @KMB_Waters]

@drewpusateri I feel this - deeply.

[Sam Altman @sama]

AI should dramatically increase quality of life and individual freedoms for people around the world.

The OpenAI Foundation is making an initial $250M commitment to measurement, transition support, and new approaches to broadly shared prosperity.

[Kate Waters @KMB_Waters]

so cool - our model just helped with a mathematical breakthrough.

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

Today, we share a breakthrough on the planar unit distance problem, a famous open question first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946.

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed the best possible solutions looked roughly like square grids.

An OpenAI model has now disproved that belief, discovering an entirely new family of constructions that performs better.

This marks the first time AI has autonomously solved a prominent open problem central to a field of mathematics.

chatgpt has gotten soooo much better with the latest update.

really proud of the team for this one.
