Hi Synapticians!

Today, we have a slightly unusual introduction, because it’s about Sam Altman’s recent post from yesterday. We recommend giving it a read; it’s pretty fascinating and a quick one, no stress. And because we’re nice, we’ve pulled out what we think are the most interesting quotes (the ones most likely to spark a lively debate among friends or family).

• “We are past the event horizon; the takeoff has started. Humanity is close to building digital superintelligence, and at least so far it’s much less weird than it seems like it should be.”

• “In some big sense, ChatGPT is already more powerful than any human who has ever lived.”

• “2025 has seen the arrival of agents that can do real cognitive work; writing computer code will never be the same.”

• “This is how the singularity goes: wonders become routine, and then table stakes.”

• “If we can do a decade’s worth of research in a year, or a month, then the rate of progress will obviously be quite different.”

• “As datacenter production gets automated, the cost of intelligence should eventually converge to near the cost of electricity.”

• “People have a long‑term important and curious advantage over AI: we are hard‑wired to care about other people and what they think and do, and we don’t care very much about machines.”

• “May we scale smoothly, exponentially and uneventfully through superintelligence.”

Enjoy the debate!
