We’re bringing frontier health intelligence to everyone for free in ChatGPT.

GPT-5.5 Instant is a substantial step forward for health–reaching frontier performance–and because it’s available to all free users, more people benefit. 🧵

We built telescopes to extend our senses. We may have built AI to now use us as its own, @umangsbhatt writes.

Show Codex a workflow once. Reuse it as a skill.

Record & Replay lets you show Codex a recurring task, like filing an expense report or submitting a time-off request.

Codex turns that demo into an inspectable, editable skill.

You control when recording starts and stops.

As AI takes on longer, higher-stakes tasks, we want models to carry beneficial and safe behavior into new domains beyond their training—and maintain it under pressure.

That’s the idea behind our new research on training models to be broadly and persistently beneficial. https://t.co/6Yw45s1RRq

"Lord of the Flies" TV series creator Jack Thorne breaks down how they pulled off Piggy’s emotional death scene on an “uninhabited” island.

“We were completely stupid! We were ridiculous to shoot it where we did. It was an island that wasn’t just difficult to get to, it was uninhabited. It took us a boat ride to get there and then when we were there, we were cutting holes with machetes in order for cameras to be able to get through. But Mark [Munden] was insistent that the island be a character in the show.”

[Jesús Enrique Rosas @Knesix]

Best advice that I can give anyone for the next 4-5 years:

- Don't ride motorcycles
- Don't do 'extreme sports' anywhere, especially third world countries
- if you need to go skiing, make it kindergarten-safe

Meanwhile, take care of your health. Because in 4-5 years our lifespans could be extended 20%-30%, easily live over 100, and have at 80 the energy of a current thirtysomething

We're living the timest of times!

@function estimates over 1000x growth in Annul MRI's this decade. The traditional checkup is obsolete.

In the last year we've had to expand from ~30 to ~200 locations to meet demand for @function's 22-minute Annual MRI.

It is now under $1,000 and scans for cancers across brain, pancreatic, prostate, uterine, ovarian, bladder, kidney, spleen, gallbladder, liver, and thyroid. Also scans for aneurysms, strokes, hernias, tears, diverticulitis, iron overload, endometriosis, abnormal cysts, fatty liver. If you add time, it scans the spine and the skeletal system.

Before AI, this took hours and many thousands of dollars. The 22 minute scan time is on track to be reduced much further, and the cost will deflate with it.

AI is the most important technology is medical history.

DŌKYŌ: A Three-Minute-Long Single-Take Short Film Made with AI

We can agree that Bytedance Seedance 2.0 totally changed how people create videos. Omni mode enabled faster creation of short films, solo creators making feature-length films, and you can create a 15-second commercial in one shot with a single prompt. But it also opened the door to long, continuous takes, which were not possible.

Usually the length of a generated clip is limited to 8–15 seconds. Of course some people tried to cheat around this limitation by doing last frame first frame generation and stitching, but it breaks the camera movement and the pace of the actions.

With Seedance, it was very different: instead of fighting the engine I was able to think about what I would like to see, instead of what are the limitations. I planned the framing, the camera movement, the action, and built the three-minute sequence step by step. Of course, this means if you later realize that something is wrong three or four sections earlier, you have to redo everything that follows.

Visually, I wanted to maintain a very cinematic, low contrast, grainy, soft look, siilar to an expired 8mm or 16mm film, so there was no upscaling, rather the opposite: softening the image in every possible way.

Improving human health will be one of the most personal, tangible impacts of AGI.

As our models continue to improve, our goal is to make ChatGPT more accurate, more useful, and more impactful in those moments — and to keep bringing that progress to more people.

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

To improve our models, we collaborate with a global network of hundreds of physicians across 60 countries, 49 languages, and 26 specialties.

Their feedback helps us identify where responses miss important context, sound overly confident, need clearer next steps, or should more strongly encourage someone to seek medical care.

Those insights directly shape how we train and improve our models.
