This is spot on. Capability will keep advancing. But trust and alignment may become what truly separates great AI from the rest.

[Mark Zuckerberg @finkd]

Last month I wrote about how we can build a positive and safe future for everyone: https://t.co/eoLGVY8yad

Every lab has the responsibility and incentive to move at the pace required to train its models safely, and the ability to take its own actions to ensure that happens.

The reality is:

- People won't want to use agents that are misaligned with them and that don't do what they ask, so labs have a strong natural incentive to make their models more aligned.

There is a lot of debate about slowing progress on capabilities until alignment catches up. My view is that trust and alignment are quickly becoming the most important capabilities that will differentiate agents and models. Any lab that doesn't focus on alignment will fall behind.

- Labs face significant liability if their models cause harm, so they have a strong incentive to prevent this as well.

Meta delayed shipping Muse for several months to focus on safety and security. We didn't call for everyone else to do this before we would. We just did it as part of our day-to-day work because it was clearly the right thing for people and for us. I'm proud of the security foundations we've built.

- Engaging independent evaluators and advisors is industry best practice. MSL already does this today in several areas because it helps produce better work. Other labs can just do this too. In general, it would be helpful for there to be a larger and more diverse ecosystem of evaluators.

- Committing the significant majority of compute towards serving people rather than racing towards recursive self-improvement is one of the best ways to ensure we develop this technology safely. Meta has made this commitment and other labs can do this as well.

I believe the key to building a positive future for everyone is maintaining the right balance of power. This is within our power to do.

More information doesn't automatically create more knowledge.

Sometimes, it just creates more noise.

Maybe students don't hate studying.
Maybe they hate how studying feels.

[Samiat Islam @samiatislam]

Gen Z grew up with games, social platforms, and instant feedback. Yet we still expect them to study from PDFs for hours.
How funny!

[Samiat Islam @samiatislam]

Students don't need more motivation quotes. They need better systems.

[Samiat Islam @samiatislam]

Students using AI isn't the problem. Students stopping at the answer is.

[Samiat Islam @samiatislam]

Education can be competitive, social, and fun.

The goal isn’t more studying. It’s better learning.

EPX 1.5 has launched.

A new step forward for OptiqEPX, with a better experience for students and more to come.

[Samiat Islam @samiatislam]

We’ve been working on a feature that I believe can make studying feel more focused, connected, and engaging.

Because learning doesn’t always have to happen alone.

Study Rooms coming soon.

And I’m really excited to see students experience what we’ve been working on.

Studying doesn't always have to be solo.

With OptiqEPX Battle Arena, learning becomes a challenge. Compete, test your knowledge, climb the leaderboard, and discover what you're capable of.

The tournament is live. Your knowledge is your weapon. Your rank is your proof.

[Samiat Islam @samiatislam]

Tag that friend who says, “I’ll seriously study from today,” and then gets lost in social media. Haha!

[Samiat Islam @samiatislam]

Yahuuu!

[OptiqEPX @optiqepx]

Think you can make it to the top?

Face strong competition.
Climb the rankings.
Prove your skills.
Earn your place at the top.

The OptiqEPX Tournament is coming soon.
