How do you spend your time?

It's a great question.

On any given day, it's pretty different and fairly...

chaotic.

Somehow the early mornings are never that chaotic, but then it often like all goes off the rails by the afternoon and there's all this stuff that's happening and you're kind of in reaction mode and firefighting mode.

So I've learned to get the really important things done early in the day.

I spend the majority of my time thinking about research and the products that we build and then less on everything else.

But what that could look like at any given time is very different.

Our latest model feels smarter than me in almost every way.

And it doesn't really impact my life.

Really?

I still care about the same kinds of things as before.

I can work a lot more effectively.

I assume as society digests this new technology, society will move much faster.

Certainly scientific progress, I hope, will move much faster.

And we are coexisting with this amazing new artifact, tool, whatever you want to call it.

But how different does your day-to-day life feel now from a few years ago?

Kind of not that different.

I think that over the very long term, AI really does change everything.

But I guess what I would have naively thought a decade ago is the day that we had a model as powerful as our most powerful model.
