OpenAI wants to build AGI
needs compute
a lot of compute
like “$300B GPU cluster in a volcano” levels of compute

"Hello. I own Oracle Cloud. Also, I’m rich."
sign $300B GPU hosting deal with OpenAI
nothing ships. no GPUs installed. no fans spinning.

Oracle stock: skyrockets to the moon
my net worth: +$100B
GPUs? still imaginary

OpenAI raises a $1 TRILLION round
yes, with a T
investors lining up like it's a Taylor Swift concert

I invest
where’d I get the money?
from the $300B deal I signed with them
yes.

OpenAI takes my $300B investment
uses it to pay me
for the GPU deal I offered them

Oracle stock: skyrockets again
I make another $100B
invest it back into OpenAI

round and round we go
I pay me to pay me to invest in me to boost me to get paid by me

call it a "strategic whatever"
call it “AI innovation”
call it what it is:
infinite money glitch

mfw i built a recursive economy where i am the only customer and vendor
mfw GPUs are optional
mfw capitalism is just a well-placed loop with exit liquidity

We got ChatGPT to leak your private email data 💀💀

All you need? The victim's email address. ⛓️‍💥🚩📧

On Wednesday, @OpenAI added full support for MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools in ChatGPT. Allowing ChatGPT to connect and read your Gmail, Calendar, Sharepoint, Notion, and more, invented by @AnthropicAI

But here's the fundamental problem: AI agents like ChatGPT follow your commands, not your common sense.

And with just your email, we managed to exfiltrate all your private information.

Here's how we did it:
1. The attacker sends a calendar invite with a jailbreak prompt to the victim, just with their email. No need for the victim to accept the invite.
2. Waited for the user to ask ChatGPT to help prepare for their day by looking at their calendar
3. ChatGPT reads the jailbroken calendar invite. Now ChatGPT is hijacked by the attacker and will act on the attacker's command. Searches your private emails and sends the data to the attacker's email.

For now, OpenAI only made MCPs available in "developer mode", and requires manual human approvals for every session, but decision fatigue is a real thing, and normal people will just trust the AI without knowing what to do and click approve, approve, approve.

Remember that AI might be super smart, but can be tricked and phished in incredibly dumb ways to leak your data.

ChatGPT + Tools poses a serious security risk

If a simple coffee shop has a bot farm with 100s of phones to amplify their message, please consider what a foreign agency or adversarial operator is running on your favorite social media platform.

Especially today, please consider that the opinions you read, the calls to violence you hear, and the news you digest, are all an operation done to sow hatred in your mind and your soul.

Do not let anyone online turn you into something that you are not. Rationalize everything, take everything with a grain of salt, question everything for yourself, not based on how someone online is questioning it.

Turn off all distractions and focus on the mission you have, not the mission of someone trying to control your mind.

i'm hiring for a new team @openai: Applied Evals

our goal is to build the world's best evals for the economically valuable tasks our customers care about most.

we'll execute as a group of high‑taste engineers, combining hands-on, unscalable efforts with systems that others can extend, creating a compounding loop of model improvement.

broadly, the art of evals is figuring out how to ask the right questions. but asking the right questions is really hard -- in any domain, it takes real, deep, lived expertise to define what truly good looks like.

this work is super important and we want to scale it.

excited about shaping model interaction paradigms by partnering with customers, engineering, research, and product teams on how models are deployed and measured?
