sama · x · 2026-07-17
Sam Altman says the past 12 months were not OpenAI's best, but the next 12 will be 'the best yet,' and the team is working on exciting things. He emphasizes that what matters most is 'users win': AI should give more people freedom, agency, and wealth. Doing the right thing is important, but he doesn't want to force acceptance of OpenAI's path by creating fear.
