This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

The headlines keep coming, South Carolina! WLTX is telling the story of our very first civic assembly, and we couldn't be prouder of the delegates who made it happen. They came from every corner of the state, sat down together, and did the hard work: listening, debating, rewriting, and finding common ground. They walked out with 8 recommendations on jobs and affordability that are now headed straight to the State House, including: - More workforce and apprenticeship opportunities - Pay ranges in job postings, so people know what a job pays before they apply - Accountability for corporate incentives, so they actually deliver for South Carolina - A free county-by-county cost-of-living guide - More affordable, accessible child and elder care One of our highlights? Group 2 and Group 3 realized they were fighting for the same thing. So instead of competing, they joined forces and renamed themselves Group 23. That's what this is all about.

Jacob is correct here—we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10% within the next decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to.

I'm listening, I'm learning. Safety first, NYC.

Here's the closing message I sent to everyone today. My dear friends! Today’s my last day at OpenAI. I have been thinking a lot about what I wanted to say in my final remarks to the company. Here are a few things I hope everyone takes deeply to heart. 1. For All of Humanity. What we have been building here is an opportunity to improve the human condition unlike any other in history. It’s easy to get distracted by the wealth and power that comes with this. It’s easy to focus on the already wealthy and powerful in the world, because they demand so much of our attention as customers or lawmakers or competitors. Nonetheless, do not lose sight of the “all” in “all of humanity.” Our mission for everyone. Working people. People in poverty. People who dream of a better life. What we are building can help them. It is our mission to ensure that it does. To that end, yesterday I donated a major gift to GiveDirectly, a charity that makes direct cash transfers to people in poverty in Africa and in the United States. This is a highly effective way of helping people; I encourage others to consider giving as well. 2. Risk Is Our Business. Technology changes the security equilibrium of the world profoundly and creates new risks. Some of these risks will directly result from AI; many others will result from other fields of science and engineering that are accelerated by AI. Risk is inextricable from progress. It is not a reason to turn our back on progress. I think, from time to time, of a speech from Captain Kirk in the original Star Trek—“Risk is our business,” he says about humanity as a whole. I believe this is true. But we should also be cognizant of the risks and we should actively manage them. We can simultaneously believe that it will require extraordinary effort to accomplish the safety and security of humanity, while committing to making that effort in support of our work to advance the technological frontier. The question of progress and safety is not either/or. It is definitively “both.” 3. The Consent of the Governed. OpenAI, and especially the OpenAI Foundation, will be among the most important organizations in the world. The level of power concentrated here will be like the power of a state. It demands a level of accountability that exceeds that of an ordinary company. I encourage OpenAI to pursue a path of governance innovation that makes it progressively more democratic and more beholden to the consent of the governed. All of humanity will be impacted by the work here; all of humanity should have some way to weigh in eventually. There is no roadmap for what form this should take. This is an ideal. But I hold it entirely. Thank you all again so much for being a part of an unbelievable nine year journey with me. To Safe AGI!
