I don't expect that to be literally what happens, but I think it's a very deep insight.

Fascinating.

I've never thought about machines having their own currency.

You will be thrilled that the AI has invented all of the science for you and cured disease and

you know made fusion work and just impossible triumphs we can't imagine but will you care about what an ai does versus what some friend of yours does or some person running some company does i don't know probably not that much now like maybe some people do maybe there's like some really weird cults around particular ais and i will bet we'll be surprised the degree to which we're still very people focused

This is me in like GPT-4 mode instead of 01 mode where I just have to like one shot it, you know, as quickly as I can.

I'll put the next token.

I think a fast takeoff is more possible than I thought a couple of years ago.

How fast?

Feels hard to reason about, but something that's in like a small number of years rather than a decade.

Wow.

What do you think is the worst advice people are given on adapting to AI?

AI is hitting a wall, which I think is the laziest fucking way to try to not think about it and just, you know, put it out of sight, out of mind.

This is so dumb, but the obvious thing is like just use the tools.

One thing that OpenAI does that I think is really cool, we put out the most powerful model that we know of that exists in the world today, O1.

And anybody can use it if you pay us 20 bucks a month.

If you don't want to pay us 20 bucks a month, you can still use a very good thing.

It's out there, like the leading edge, the most capable person in the world and you can access the exact same frontier.

And I think that's awesome.

And so go use it and figure out what you like about it, what you don't, what you think is going to happen with it.
