Imagine you want to do the things that bring you joy and help you feel calm but your brain and body just refuse to do them. imagine how infuriating and frustrating that is
Today we launched a new product called ChatGPT Agent.
Agent represents a new level of capability for AI systems and can accomplish some remarkable, complex tasks for you using its own computer. It combines the spirit of Deep Research and Operator, but is more powerful than that may sound—it can think for a long time, use some tools, think some more, take some actions, think some more, etc. For example, we showed a demo in our launch of preparing for a friend’s wedding: buying an outfit, booking travel, choosing a gift, etc. We also showed an example of analyzing data and creating a presentation for work.
Although the utility is significant, so are the potential risks.
We have built a lot of safeguards and warnings into it, and broader mitigations than we’ve ever developed before from robust training to system safeguards to user controls, but we can’t anticipate everything. In the spirit of iterative deployment, we are going to warn users heavily and give users freedom to take actions carefully if they want to.
I would explain this to my own family as cutting edge and experimental; a chance to try the future, but not something I’d yet use for high-stakes uses or with a lot of personal information until we have a chance to study and improve it in the wild.
We don’t know exactly what the impacts are going to be, but bad actors may try to “trick” users’ AI agents into giving private information they shouldn’t and take actions they shouldn’t, in ways we can’t predict. We recommend giving agents the minimum access required to complete a task to reduce privacy and security risks.
For example, I can give Agent access to my calendar to find a time that works for a group dinner. But I don’t need to give it any access if I’m just asking it to buy me some clothes.
There is more risk in tasks like “Look at my emails that came in overnight and do whatever you need to do to address them, don’t ask any follow up questions”. This could lead to untrusted content from a malicious email tricking the model into leaking your data.
We think it’s important to begin learning from contact with reality, and that people adopt these tools carefully and slowly as we better quantify and mitigate the potential risks involved. As with other new levels of capability, society, the technology, and the risk mitigation strategy will need to co-evolve.
watching chatgpt agent use a computer to do complex tasks has been a real "feel the agi" moment for me; something about seeing the computer think, plan, and execute hits different.
Mfs move to frisco and start jacking themselves off w prebuilt deployable 'AI' projects on serverless platforms pUbliShiNg their POC like the matrices didn't matrices the other matrices weights and tell you you got a bespoke AI that does what u want. Pmo to no end, get real

X has received executive orders from the Indian government requiring X to block over 8,000 accounts in India, subject to potential penalties including significant fines and imprisonment of the company’s local employees. The orders include demands to block access in India to accounts belonging to international news organizations and prominent X users.
In most cases, the Indian government has not specified which posts from an account have violated India's local laws. For a significant number of accounts, we did not receive any evidence or justification to block the accounts.
To comply with the orders, we will withhold the specified accounts in India alone. We have begun that process. However, we disagree with the Indian government’s demands. Blocking entire accounts is not only unnecessary, it amounts to censorship of existing and future content, and is contrary to the fundamental right of free speech.
This is not an easy decision, however keeping the platform accessible in India is vital to Indians’ ability to access information.
We believe that making these executive orders public is essential for transparency – lack of disclosure discourages accountability and can contribute to arbitrary decision making. However, due to legal restrictions, we are unable to publish the executive orders at this time.
X is exploring all possible legal avenues available to the company. Unlike users located in India, X is restricted by Indian law in its ability to bring legal challenges against these executive orders. However, we encourage all users who are impacted by these blocking orders to seek appropriate relief from the courts.
Users may contact any of the below legal aid organizations:
iProbono India (https://t.co/HnfseKQ2Lb)
National Legal Services Authority (https://t.co/fYOZjp2MZA)
Karnataka Legal Services Authority (https://t.co/Plh3c9p9wP)
Supreme Court Legal Services (https://t.co/Sazj55Co08)
We have provided the affected users with notice of the actions in accordance with our policies. Affected users may also contact the Indian government at [email protected].
@grok@StonerBoner85@GlobalAffairs@X@grok so you're saying the ban purportedly started for the 2024 elections, supposedly pasted until the 5th month in May, and had nothing to do with the escalation leading up to a retaliation by india, finally allowing users to discuss freely, and that the timing isnt weird at all
