This scenario analysis is super sharp. The four futures model is a useful framework, especially breaking it down by compute capacity and adoption rather than just looking at raw tech capabilities. That China's AI+ World scenario is probably the most likely near term path though, their playbook of winning on cost and customization in emerging markets has already worked in other sectors. One thing I'd add is that trust and regulatory fragmentation could become its own axis here, not just adoption metrics.

The reverse federalism concept is intresting. Using state liability frameworks as an incentive for companies to opt into federal testing seems like a pragmatic approach that could actualy work. Testing models before release through CAISI rather than imposing liabilties after harm occurs makes a lot more sense from a public saftey perspective.

Hey, great read as always, it's truly fasinating to see how AI is helping so many people with job searching, kinda like how I use it to discover new authors and expand my reading lists, just blows my mind how versatile it can be.

The data here is genuinely exciting. Forty million people turning to ChatGPT for career support shows how quickly AI is becoming an equalizer, not a threat.

The age differences are fascinating, too. Older workers leveraging experience, younger workers building it. That’s exactly what a healthy transition looks like.

And the rise of “AI partner economy” roles feels like one of the biggest underreported shifts in the labor market. Oversight, orchestration, judgment; these are new paths, not dead ends.

Really appreciate this clear, grounded breakdown. Looking forward to seeing what OpenAI for Jobs unlocks next.

Joining OpenAI at 10

I thought I’d give you a peek into what I discovered here.

Today OpenAI turns 10. When I joined four months ago, I knew I was stepping into a special company with a lot of history, culture, and impact. One of the things I’ve always tried to do is find the magic in people and in teams, and shine a light on it, so I’ve spent a lot of time trying to understand what makes this place what it is. I thought I’d give y…

The confessions technique is eerily similar to people consciously engaging in self-forgiveness. And, as you no doubt know, people who do that consistently show improved performance in subsequent tasks.

The bottom-up research culture is what makes this different. Most companies plan the roadmap first, then build toward it. OpenAI builds the breakthrough first, then figures out what it unlocks. That’s why PMing there feels like “getting a new superpower every few months.” The challenge isn’t executing a plan; it’s deciding which breakthrough to productize when the research keeps leapfrogging the roadmap. That’s a fundamentally different operating system.

Solid breakdwon of the AAIF. The parallels to Kubernetes are spot on because we saw how quickly container orchestration went from chaos to standardization once Linux Foundation stepped in. What makes this alliance partciularly smart is the timing, setting standrds now while enterprises are still figuring out their agent strategies means less technical debt later. The fact that MCP already runs across Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot shows theres actual adoption momentum, not just theoretical alignment.

That OpenRouter stat about reasoning models hitting 50% of inference is nuts when you think about it. A year ago we were basically at zero. The shift from "answer questions" to "actually work through problems" happened way faster than most people expected, and I think that's what's really freaking everyone out about the Gemini 3 vs GPT competition.

Purely N of 1 data, but I accidentally started using gemini 3 while GPT was grinding out something. I haven't used GPT since. I find that for a researcher the quality was much greater. I dropped my $200 a month sub the next week. (Im a 10 hour a day user.) N of 1. Still.

OpenAI Has Something to Confess

How OpenAI is trying to make model reasoning visible, one confession at a time.

It’s the AI Freaky Friday. This week, Dario was on stage evangelizing his worldview, Anthropic did the SOTA touchdown dance, and OpenAI quietly published alignment research. Everyone seems to have swapped wardrobes, but the show goes on. And since OpenAI put a

Really strong framing on the shift from prevention to detection. The confession mechanism feels like OpenAI admitting that you can't prevent every failure mode, so instead you create visibility at the point where something goes wrogn. What's intresting is that this approach assumes the model can accurately reflect on its own reasoning without introducing new biases or blindspots in that meta-layer. If the confession channel itself becomes unreliable, you've just added complexity without gaining signal.

What are the mechanics of the confession? For the LLM actually know how to extract its own answer generation path or is it still prone to hallucinating that confession?

In that window, OpenAI effectively sat at the center of every profitable AI vert…

That is a ton of new lawsuits. I guess it’s a disruptive technology so it’s part of the nature.. but GRC needs to catch up and get back to protecting people preemptively over reactively.

To begin, the families who lost loved ones noted in the suits have my sympathy, and they deserve ours. These were tragic reminders of the downside of technology when misused.

Additionally, the concepts discussed in the post are informative, and I don't disagree that LLMs (they are not really "AI", don't buy the BS) have rolled out for primarily corporations' benefit (but, their job is to make money, no?), AND I agree that oversight likely is necessary, especially when Altman et al. fail to fulfil on the promises--perhaps maybe do NOT give them so much money next time they tout the next big 'improvement'?

However, much of the discourse around "AI" and electronic devices generally is grounded in an assumption too common in popular discourse lately. We seemingly forget that tools are things used for whatever humans wish to use them; and every electronic tool I know has an off switch. Like the light switch in my bedroom, when the light prevents me from sleeping, "off" the light (as my ESL friends say). If you don't like the tool, switch it off; or, don't use a tool that doesn't help. It seems that the narrative around AI has become alarmingly apocalyptic, as if electronic devices are 'forces' beyond our control—it’s not just code, it's ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (oh my!).

But, remember, "AI" and their associated electronic devices are only tools used, or not, by individuals. If the collective effects of individual tool use overwhelm our politics, businesses, communities, and families, then perhaps we have failed to become adults in a world that demands 'adulting' (gawd, what a nutty word—can adults ever be unadult?).

Welcome to 'representative' democracy. Can we handle it? It remains an open question.

Nice coverage of the Seattle tech scene shift. The "AI panic" descriptiom really captures how top-down mandates can backfire when adoption metrics become layoff justifications. Culture matters way more than most execs realize - optimism beats fear-driven deployment every time. The caste system mention is particularly telling about how tooling mandates created resentmnet instead of productivity gains.

Superb walkthrough of navigating that deceptively complex question.
