Paul Graham: AGI Isn't a Finish Line, It's a Smear⁣
⁣
"We thought AGI would be this finish line. We'd cross it, it would be very clear. But when you're standing on the finish line, you realize it has width... The finish line is actually a smear, and we're on it. That's why you can't get your restaurant times."

Alexandr Wang on Leaving Scale AI to Rebuild Meta's AI Lab⁣
⁣
"It's obviously really hard to let go of or give up your baby... I did really genuinely think of Scale as my life's work for the whole time that I was working on it... Meta AI certainly looked like damaged goods in many ways, but I think that kind of triggered my entrepreneur side." ⁣
⁣
"It's like a refounding of the lab. It really cleared the way for me to be able to build a lot of stuff up from scratch, set up the right principles, build the right culture. It created the conditions for us to build something amazing." — @alexandr_wang

Alexandr Wang: Why Founders Must Be the Bottleneck First⁣
⁣
"If you wanna be a good founder, you have to be able to do every job... that resulted in a company that was very much so a product of my effort and my point of view, but also made me the bottleneck in very big ways." — @alexandr_wang

Sam Altman: Deep Learning Was "Not Gonna Work" Until It Did⁣
⁣
"In 2005, a Stanford CS professor told me the one thing we knew for sure is deep learning was not gonna work... At the time, the radical view was there is no way this is going to get to any serious level of intelligence." — @sama

[Overlap: Business & Tech @Overlap_Tech]

Sam Altman: We Can't Just Patch Our Way Out of This⁣
⁣
"I no longer think we're gonna be able to just patch all the bugs. I think we're gonna have to completely switch the defense model... And I am somewhat astonished at how relatively little attention it's getting." — @sama

Sam Altman: Alignment Has Been Easy So Far — That's What Worries Him⁣
⁣
"Alignment has so far been easier than expected... the potential cost of alignment being wrong has gone up enormously... I don't think any alignment that we're smart enough to understand... I worry that some AI efforts around the world are so confident in alignment given how easy it's been so far that they're too willing to run ahead." — @sama

[Overlap: Business & Tech @Overlap_Tech]

Sam Altman: The Real Question Is Who Stays in Control⁣
⁣
"We don't wanna see too much power concentration either in an AI with IQ 10,000,000,000 or in a small number of people that have AI and can do whatever they want and everybody else can't." — @sama

[Overlap: Business & Tech @Overlap_Tech]

Sam Altman: 10,000 AI Agents Showed No Leader, No Credit Squabbles, No Bickering⁣
⁣
"I think it was 10,000 agents that solve Navier Stokes, they work together in a way that is unlike any organization I could imagine. There was no leader. There were no credit squabbles. There was perfect alignment." — @sama

[Overlap: Business & Tech @Overlap_Tech]

Sam Altman: We Didn't Think We'd Have to Build a Product Company⁣
⁣
"We mostly thought that we were gonna develop this unbelievable superintelligence... and that we wouldn't then have to do all of the hard work of figuring out how to get it usefully into people's hands." — @sama

[Overlap: Business & Tech @Overlap_Tech]

Sam Altman: Human Values Will Always Matter Because a Person Is Behind Them⁣
⁣
"Human values have inherent values because they are human. We really do not seem to care about what machines do for their own purposes. Work will matter because a person does it, and we're just always gonna care that way." — @sama

[Overlap: Business & Tech @Overlap_Tech]

Sam Altman: Software Was Never the Real Moat⁣
⁣
"There haven't been that many software moats in history. There's other kind of moats. There's network effects, like Facebook."⁣
⁣
"There are scale effects, like Google. There are data moats, like a lot of enterprise software companies have. But software itself has never been a super strong moat. You use it to get a temporary advantage to build up one of the traditional moats of a business. And I kinda think that's just gonna keep going the same way." — @sama

We’re building @Overlap_AI agents that get better at their jobs with every iteration

Here's a look under the hood at how our agents learn from their own performance

[Overlap: Business & Tech @Overlap_Tech]

Alexandr Wang: Muse Can Give Everyone the Adulthood They Dreamed of as Kids⁣
⁣
"Everyone when they're kids, they have big ideas and big dreams... and then by the time people finish school, enter the workforce, all that hope and ambition and ability to dream has been sucked out of them. I think ambition is really a good word for it." — @alexandr_wang

Alexandr Wang: Personal AI Agents Live or Die on Reliability⁣
⁣
"It can be one of the greatest consumer products ever. But you're dealing with models. You're dealing with something nondeterministic... if people have these unreliable experiences, they think it's trash." — @alexandr_wang

[Overlap: Business & Tech @Overlap_Tech]

Alexandr Wang on Why Muse Had to Break Through the AI Noise⁣
⁣
"It's a pretty torrential stream of updates... here's another model, and here's another product, and here's another feature."⁣
⁣
"We need to break through. Meta, we have lots of distribution, but that's not enough to make it break through in an interesting cultural or fascinating way for the world to pay attention to." — @alexandr_wang

[Overlap @Overlap_AI]

Introducing Overlap Campaigns.

We’re bringing performance pricing to clipping: you pay only for the views your clips generate.

Alexandr Wang: Why Meta's AI Bet Is Personal, Not Professional⁣
⁣
"The natural area where Meta was going to be successful is consumer AI. It's not work. It's not coding. It's personal." — @alexandr_wang

[Jonathan Baer @jbaerofficial]

Today we’re launching Overlap Campaigns: a team of AI agents that run clipping campaigns on social accounts you own, priced based on the views they generate.

Clips have become both the content people consume and the ads for the businesses behind it. The same clip can introduce someone to a creator, promote what they sell, and generate revenue itself.

Someone might never watch your full podcast or show. They can still see your clips regularly, get to know you, and become a customer. For that person, the clips are the show.

That has made clipping an essential part of promotion and monetization for creators and creator-led businesses.

Running a "clipping campaign" used to mean wrangling freelance clippers in Discord who publish your content on accounts you don’t own.

Overlap Campaigns gives that work to a team of agents. You set the budget. They find moments in your content library, edit them into clips, and publish across your accounts.

This is why @Overlap_AI works with thousands of creators to turn their content into reach and revenue.

Sam Altman: We'd Tell Investors "Sorry" Before We'd Skip AI Safety⁣
⁣
"I am sorry ... we're still gonna try to figure out a way to make you a bunch of money in the future, but we gotta make a decision that is extremely against your financial interest right now. And for the good of humanity, we're gonna do that." — @sama

Peter Thiel: What America Really Needs From Europe⁣
⁣
"More important than whether Europe is a super close ally or a somewhat allied, but very independent thinking place is it's in America's interest for Europe to get its act together and to be more functional, to get its economy going, to be a part of building the future." — @peterthiel
