The best way to come up with a startup idea is by trying to solve a recurring problem you personally have. The biggest issue with most startups is that they try to solve problems that don’t really exist.

You can learn anything in 2 weeks.

You can't master it, obviously, but if you obsess over it, you can become better at it than most people ever will. You'd be surprised how fast your life can change when you understand this.

I have so much gratitude to people who wrote extremely complex software character-by-character. It already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took.

Thank you for getting us to this point.

@ramiro_colo_ Muchos de los videos similares que están rondando por ahí los pagan a 9 mil dólares y los hace @Pri_promo - Costoso pero si se tiene una startup fondeada, puede valer la pena para lanzamientos

if i were like, a sports star or an artist or something, and just really cared about doing a great job at my thing, and was up at 5 am practicing free throws or whatever, that would seem pretty normal right?

the first part of openai was unbelievably fun; we did what i believe is the most important scientific work of this generation or possibly a much greater time period than that.

this current part is less fun but still rewarding. it is extremely painful as you say and often tempting to nope out on any given day, but the chance to really "make a dent in the universe" is more than worth it; most people don't get that chance to such an extent, and i am very grateful. i genuinely believe the work we are doing will be a transformatively positive thing, and if we didn't exist, the world would have gone in a slightly different and probably worse direction.

(working hard was always an extremely easy trade until i had a kid, and now an extremely hard trade.)

i do wish i had taken equity a long time ago and i think it would have led to far fewer conspiracy theories; people seem very able to understand "ok that dude is doing it because he wants more money" but less so "he just thinks technology is cool and he likes having some ability to influence the evolution of technology and society". it was a crazy tone-deaf thing to try to make the point "i already have enough money".

i believe that AGI will be the most important technology humanity has yet built, i am very grateful to get to play an important role in that and work with such great colleagues, and i like having an interesting life.

@jimmyloweryjr @SimploraAI Congrats man, you're crushing it. 👏🏻

[Tom ✪ @TomSuperAI]

For a startup to grow massively, it must (1) create something that a lot of people want, and (2) be able to reach and serve all those people. Most businesses focus on only one of those two goals. The truly successful startups manage to achieve both. ✌🏻

[Tom ✪ @TomSuperAI]

@stats_feed Yup. I remembered my friends land lines, back when you had to call their houses and ask for them to be put on the phone.

[Tom ✪ @TomSuperAI]

@hthieblot Yup! 5 year old son. Its becoming easier though

[Tom ✪ @TomSuperAI]

@stats_feed How much of it is new spending and how much is just interest?

[Tom ✪ @TomSuperAI]

Yes, I think that AGI achieved internally at OpenAI is pretty much a certainty, just by looking at the timings of previous releases and what they were working internally at the time. And that timescale naturally accelerates. Their internal AGI is now probably working on early iterations of superintelligence.

[Tom ✪ @TomSuperAI]

Darwin wrote: "its not the strongest or smartest that survive, but the most adaptable." So THAT will be the real test for humans when we achieve artificial superintelligence. How fast can we reshape ourselves around something thats more intelligent than all humans combined 🧐

[Sam Altman @sama]

someday soon something smarter than the smartest person you know will be running on a device in your pocket, helping you with whatever you want.

this is a very remarkable thing.

I just asked OpenAI Deep Research to analyze some fresh & highly complex unpublished experimental data that we couldn’t decipher, related to an immune cell. When I read its report, I was absolutely stunned!😳 It solved the issue in the most profound way possible🤯Speechless🥹

OPENAI ROADMAP UPDATE FOR GPT-4.5 and GPT-5:

We want to do a better job of sharing our intended roadmap, and a much better job simplifying our product offerings.

We want AI to “just work” for you; we realize how complicated our model and product offerings have gotten.

We hate the model picker as much as you do and want to return to magic unified intelligence.

We will next ship GPT-4.5, the model we called Orion internally, as our last non-chain-of-thought model.

After that, a top goal for us is to unify o-series models and GPT-series models by creating systems that can use all our tools, know when to think for a long time or not, and generally be useful for a very wide range of tasks.

In both ChatGPT and our API, we will release GPT-5 as a system that integrates a lot of our technology, including o3. We will no longer ship o3 as a standalone model.

The free tier of ChatGPT will get unlimited chat access to GPT-5 at the standard intelligence setting (!!), subject to abuse thresholds.

Plus subscribers will be able to run GPT-5 at a higher level of intelligence, and Pro subscribers will be able to run GPT-5 at an even higher level of intelligence. These models will incorporate voice, canvas, search, deep research, and more.

[Tsarathustra @tsarnick]

Sam Altman says OpenAI have an internal AI model that ranks as the 50th best competitive programmer in the world and by the end of 2025 their model will be ranked #1

[Tom ✪ @TomSuperAI]

@OpenAI This is fantastic. Thank you OpenAI. ❤���

[Tom ✪ @TomSuperAI]

@sama Next Level work Sama, thank you! 🚀

[Tom ✪ @TomSuperAI]

@Dr_Singularity It's happening. Open-source AI pharma is inevitable. This isn't just faster drug discovery, it's a total power shift. The future of health is decentralized and exponentially faster.

[Tom ✪ @TomSuperAI]

@sama Rooting for you Sam, you were the first to push us all into this brave new world. Thank you.
