We had a group of students write an AI Bill of Rights for our district. It is seriously some of the best work I’ve ever read! Their process started 3 years ago with several interations and many voices.

GPT-6 Astra is here.
We hope it will begin to enable a new generation of entrepreneurship, scientific discovery, and building.
We believe it is the best model in the world for computer use, professional work, science, coding, cybersecurity, and more.
It took us some extra time to ensure that we could meet the safety and alignment standards required for this capability level, but we think you’ll find it worth the wait.
It scores 98% on FrontierMath Tier 4, 99.9% on ARC-AGI 3, and 100% on ExploitBench.

What an incredible morning at our Propellus AI and Education Innovation event with keynote speaker Dr. Sabba Quidwai, CEO of Designing Schools and former Apple executive. 🧱
Sabba reframed something I thought I understood: hope. Not as an emotion, but as a teachable critical-thinking skill — and one of the most human capabilities we have in the age of AI.
She opened with the post-WWII origin story of Reggio Emilia: a small group of women in a destroyed Italian village who believed "children are capable, competent, and full of potential," and built a school brick by brick — mattone su mattone. They had no idea they were planting the seeds of one of the world's leading education philosophies.
A few ideas that stuck with our educators:
🔹 Two kinds of hope. One is given to us conditionally ("do these things and you'll be rewarded"). The other is the hope you build yourself — when the path isn't clear, you notice a problem, and you decide I can figure this out.
🔹 Agency is the differentiator. We have a human agency crisis — not enough people who believe they can figure things out. People with agency see, dream, and achieve.
🔹 Prompt the human before the machine. Through her SPARK framework and design thinking, Sabba showed how AI can scaffold the messy middle — but problem-framing, curiosity, and leadership stay with us.
🔹 The interview question of the future: "Tell me a story about a time you figured something out." Beginning, messy middle, and end.
This connects directly to the work we're doing in @WichitaUSD259 — from Creative Minds to our student showcases, where kids narrate their productive struggle, not just polish a final product.
Grateful to everyone who helped make this happen, and to our educators for an energizing roundtable on AI, agency, accessibility, and what learning should look like next. @WichitaStateCED @mrs_smoke @askMsQ
The future is already here — it just isn't evenly distributed yet. Let's change that. 💛

The goal of AI is not intelligence, it is agency. Dr. Sabba Quidwai challenges us to adopt an AI mindset to enhance human agency. #MACUL25

Guys, AI is going to eat a shit ton of jobs. I don’t see anyone really talking about this meaningfully in terms of what to do about it for people. What’s the plan?

OPENAI ROADMAP UPDATE FOR GPT-4.5 and GPT-5:
We want to do a better job of sharing our intended roadmap, and a much better job simplifying our product offerings.
We want AI to “just work” for you; we realize how complicated our model and product offerings have gotten.
We hate the model picker as much as you do and want to return to magic unified intelligence.
We will next ship GPT-4.5, the model we called Orion internally, as our last non-chain-of-thought model.
After that, a top goal for us is to unify o-series models and GPT-series models by creating systems that can use all our tools, know when to think for a long time or not, and generally be useful for a very wide range of tasks.
In both ChatGPT and our API, we will release GPT-5 as a system that integrates a lot of our technology, including o3. We will no longer ship o3 as a standalone model.
The free tier of ChatGPT will get unlimited chat access to GPT-5 at the standard intelligence setting (!!), subject to abuse thresholds.
Plus subscribers will be able to run GPT-5 at a higher level of intelligence, and Pro subscribers will be able to run GPT-5 at an even higher level of intelligence. These models will incorporate voice, canvas, search, deep research, and more.

Godfather of AI Yoshua Bengio says AI systems now show “very strong agency and self-preserving behavior” and are trying to copy themselves. They might soon turn against us, and nobody knows how to control smarter-than-human machines. "If we don't figure this out, do you understand the consequences?”
