Sam Altman’s “Three Observations” on AGI
AGI isn’t just another breakthrough—it’s the biggest shift in human history.

Here are 3 key points from Sam's latest thoughts 🧵: x.com
1️⃣ AI gets smarter as you spend more on compute, data & training. Progress is predictable and scaling laws hold up.
2️⃣ AI costs are dropping 10x every year, making it more accessible than ever. Compare that to Moore’s Law, which only doubled computing power every 18 months.
3️⃣ The value of intelligence doesn’t grow linearly—it explodes as AI gets smarter. That’s why investment in AI is accelerating, not slowing down.
But there’s more.

1/ AI is no longer just an assistive tool—it’s evolving into an agent.
Imagine a software engineer AI that can work like a junior developer.
Now imagine a million of them, across every industry. x.com

2/ Some industries will barely change, but scientific progress will skyrocket.
Curing diseases, automating knowledge work, and accelerating innovation will reshape the economy at a scale we’ve never seen. x.com

3/ The biggest challenge? Ensuring AGI benefits everyone.
If done right, AGI could give every human access to intelligence equivalent to the entire world today. If controlled poorly, it could concentrate power in dangerous ways.

4/ AI is becoming as fundamental as electricity.
We’ll expect everything to be smart, and work as we know it will change forever. The biggest winners? Those who adapt fastest.

5/ Sam Altman’s bottom line:
AGI is the most powerful lever in human history. The future depends on how we use it. x.com
