Sam Altman: OpenAI's advantage is their internal models are way ahead of public models. I asked how far ahead they are:

Specifically, screw @jamestalarico I get 5 texts per day for him. You know I don't live in Texas right?? If you live in Texas, do not vote for this man.
How is phone call and text spam worse than ever? How is this not a solved problem? Shame on the FCC.

🚨 Sam Altman Says Anthropic’s Push to ‘Ascribe Personhood’ to Their Models is a ‘Dangerous Path’ “I hope we come to an understanding that this technology is not a person and is certainly not superior to people … Even the people building AI get confused about that.”

When people talk about the global market for GPUs, the thing that I think it misses is people are assuming that models are going to stay at the same capability and the same cost per task as today. For sufficiently high-quality intelligence at sufficiently low cost, I think it’s very hard to talk about an arbitrary market size there. I think it’s just gonna keep—people call us all sorts of things, Jevons paradox, whatever. I think it’s just gonna keep going up. I believe there will be some periods where, like with any new technology, there’s supply constraints and supply gluts.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman: "the biggest advantage we have is that we get the next generation of models before anybody else, and we have time internally to use them and see what's going to work" Take the math results. I don’t think any model currently widely available can get close to that

Go check out my friend and former colleague Michael's new YC startup Spacesheep. After working on the Artifacts feature at Anthropic, he knew he wanted to build a better version.
My agents sent me 355 hours of reading this week. I can't read that fast. We're launching Spacesheep (YC F26) to fix that: agents' work lands in a space your team can actually understand and work on together. Try it: tell any agent "share this to spacesheep.dev"

Should have called this Clawdbot
We’re opening a research preview of Claude Duet, a new app where Claude works as a proactive agent. It comes to you with what needs your attention, completes tasks you ask of it, keeps working when you step away, and checks with you before it acts on your behalf.

Why did mathematicians get angry about OpenAI solving math problems?

How many GPUs do we need for 50% of the world to have an AI personal assistant? Sam: "how many GPUs do you want working for you?" Infinite.

This hits different after seeing the movie...
Elizabeth Holmes calls Billy Evans during a live interview, but he says putting her on speaker could have serious consequences in prison "Are you allowed to put on speaker? No, like really uh she'll get sent to the shoe. That's the solitary housing unit. It's not a nice place to be. This is what I hear every time she calls me. Oh? And all I swear to God this was not planned. And then hang up. I'm on stage right now in front of a bunch of people. Can I say hi? Yeah. Dave can Dave say hi? You're not on speakerphone or anything, don't worry. Yeah, but I love I love you with my whole heart. Your state." @friedberg @ElizabethHolmes @haemanthusinc @theallinpod

We are putting out MORE and BETTER videos than ever. Here's how Brian (@ForwardEditor) uses AI to edit our videos.
One of our video editors, @ForwardEditor, has been dreading this day for 2 years. Shortly after GPT-6 Astra launched, he ran the same test he’d run on every major model release: "edit this video for me" Then he walked away from his computer. When he came back, the video was... actually watchable. He gave notes in plain English, walked away again, and came back to something that made all of us say, “Oh my god." The moment he'd been dreading had finally arrived. His computer could edit videos for him. “Vibe editing” is now a reality. You don't need to be a professional editor with a decade of experience to edit videos. Here’s the best part: Brian’s job has changed, but he’s busier and more needed than ever. Full story (and how to get started with "vibe editing"): forwardfuture.com/newsletter…
