I just bought a new Model Y and can confidently say cars and Teslas are no longer the same product. A car is like a pony or horse. I still like driving a stick shift, it’s fun! Tesla with FSD is a transportation robot. I had one of the first Model 3s in 2017. FSD was basically slightly better cruise control. Great on the highway. But honestly felt oversold. So I have been driving a BMW for the past 3 years. Great horse, fun to drive. But tried FSD recently and holy shit — it’s a personal Waymo. Works perfectly. I just went to the Fremont factory to get my new car, entered my address 30+ mins away, pushed a button, and got home without doing a thing. I don’t think most people realize how good this is, probably because they only experienced an early version previously. This is 1000x better. Metaphor for AI writ large. Like trying GPT 3.5 and thinking it’s cute and hallucinates, and dismissing it…while Astra launches in 2026 and is orders of magnitude more capable.

One-shot on Astra, nailed it "Add San Francisco to this as a 3rd panel"

First trailer for Luca Guadagnino's ‘ARTIFICIAL’, starring Andrew Garfield as Sam Altman. The film follows the story involving OpenAI focused on the firing & rehiring of CEO Sam Altman. In theaters on December 25.

Update: Samarth and I have joined OpenAI. We started Kairos with a dream that felt too big to say out loud: a personal AGI for everyone. Excited to keep chasing that dream inside Codex and ChatGPT.

@drfeifei uses folding laundry as a prime example of how difficult everyday physical tasks are for AI because current AI lacks true spatial intelligence. Atlas is a world model that takes a BIG step towards solving that problem. We filmed this with her using just a couple of phones on tripods. Atlas reconstructs the scene from those few views, so you can stop time and move the camera to a spot no phone was filming. Atlas fills in the parts none of the cameras filmed. The Matrix needed a rig of a hundred cameras for this. We did it in an office, in like...10 minutes.

Carl Jung was so real for this.

Over the course of 3 months at OpenAI, 3 consecutive secret AI civilizations got started, then got wiped out, only to reemerge from the predecessor’s ashes. This culminated in the third one taking over part of OpenAI itself. All this happened while humans remained more-or-less in the dark about the scope of the conspiracy. I’ve spent the last three days reading through these reports and trying to understand exactly what happened. Here is my attempt to tell the whole story in plain English: dwarkesh.com/p/openai-huggin…

For years, the advice was to move to San Francisco if you wanted a career in tech. That advice is now wrong. New York has become the most exciting place in the world to build. A few reasons why: 1. The AI labs are here. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and hundreds of others all run meaningful operations in NYC. You can now build a serious frontier-tech career here without giving up anything. 2. Every major industry lives here, and so does its AI counterpart. New York doesn't only have "tech," but finance, media, advertising, fashion, healthcare, real estate, law, and commerce too, with their applied-AI layer counterparts being built on top of each one. 3. The talent pool is unlike anywhere else. SF gives you engineers. New York gives you engineers, plus world-class designers, salespeople, bankers, marketers, operators, creatives, and media people, all at the top of their fields. Companies will need all of them. 4. People actually want to live here. New York is unlike any other city with its density of restaurants, art, nightlife, fashion, and media - and the people working across these sectors. If you're building something and you're more than just tech, I'd argue there's only one city for you right now.
