Does ChatGPT really cause brain rot? Our Head of Education Leah Belsky and college students Yabsera Benyam, and Alaap Nair join Andrew Mayne to discuss this and more on episode 4 of the OpenAI Podcast. https://lnkd.in/dr9D6-8i

As ChatGPT becomes a go-to tool for students, we’re committed to ensuring it fosters deeper understanding and learning. Introducing study mode in ChatGPT — a learning experience that helps you work through problems step-by-step instead of just getting an answer. Built in collaboration with educators and experts, study mode is our first step toward improving learning in ChatGPT. Available to logged-in Free, Plus, Pro, Team users, with availability in ChatGPT Edu coming in the coming weeks. https://lnkd.in/gi3xW8Hq

In front of an online audience of thousands last Thursday, OpenAI’s head recruiter, Joaquin Quiñonero Candela, described one of the common threads that draws talent to the company: OpenAI’s culture. “We’re a culture of doers who do things – with autonomy, with agency,” he said at the OpenAI Forum. “There’s no sitting around asking for permission.” Joaquin also mentioned how OpenAI’s mission is attractive to candidates. “We’re building AGI, and we’re bringing it to humanity in a way that’s responsible and beneficial.” And he explained how it’s the people at OpenAI who draw talent to the company. “We often say good people draw good people. And people want to work with like-minded people … people who, you know, want to jump into the deep-end and into the unknown.” Joaquin’s comments came during an hourlong conversation at the OpenForum titled: “Careers at the Frontier: Hiring the Future at OpenAI,” where he discussed his own career trajectory – stints at Facebook and LinkedIn before coming to OpenAI to work on AI safety and even a three-month turn as an intern on the company’s health team. Joaquin’s current role at OpenAI is Head of Recruiting, and he explained why he made the move to the post. “Although OpenAI is about 10 years old, in many ways we’re only getting started now. I feel like we’re at the beginning of building a company that is probably going to be generational,” he said. “It became a no-brainer.”  When Natalie Cone, who was moderating the conversation as head of the OpenAI Forum Community, asked him what a typical day looks like for his recruiting team, Joaquin replied, “Oh, a typical day is crazy.” He explained: “We have a constantly changing environment. The goals are always changing. We can’t really predict what products would be shipping long term, because the models keep getting more capable. It’s very hard, then, to know how much do different teams need to grow.” Approximately 11,000 guests registered for this online discussion – more than any other previous OpenAI Forum event.

I will officially start at OpenAI as CEO of Applications on August 18. I am sharing this essay on why I believe AI can be the greatest source of empowerment for all. https://lnkd.in/gfrq627N I’ve always considered myself a pragmatic technologist — someone who loves technology not for its own sake, but for the direct impact it can have on people’s lives. That’s what makes this job so exciting, since I believe AI will unlock more opportunities for more people than any other technology in history. If we get this right, AI can give everyone more power than ever. But I also realize those opportunities won’t magically appear on their own. Every major technology shift can expand access to power – the power to make better decisions, shape the world around us, and control our own destiny in new ways. But it can also further concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a few — usually people who already have money, credentials, and connections. That’s why we have to be intentional about how we build and share these technologies so they lead to greater opportunity and prosperity for more people. The choices we make today will shape whether the coming transformation leads to greater empowerment for all, or greater concentration of wealth and power for the few. We can start by making sure the keys to empowerment and opportunity — knowledge, health, creative expression, economic freedom, time, and support — are widely available. You can read more in the link I shared about the potential AI has to transform each of these aspects of people’s lives. If we can make intelligence accessible everywhere, affordable to everyone, and easy to understand, we can drive the biggest opportunity engine the world has ever seen and help more people live better lives. I’m looking forward to building this future alongside my brilliant new colleagues at OpenAI, and I’ll have a lot more to share soon.
