Our paper on agentic inequality is now out in @NatMachIntell! AI agents could greatly expand what people are able to do. Whether these benefits are widely shared or concentrated among a few could have important consequences for inequality and how society is organised. 🧵
A fair amount has happened since the preprint. Meta has launched a personal agent with free and paid tiers, Amazon has been to court over whether customers can send agents to shop on its site, and the UK government is piloting an AI assistant for jobseekers.

Our new paper explores “agentic inequality”, the potential disparities in power, opportunity, and outcomes stemming from unequal access to, and capabilities of, AI agents. We examine the dual potential of this technology and outline a research agenda. aigi.ox.ac.uk/publications/a…

Today, we at @OpenAI achieved a milestone that many considered years away: gold medal-level performance on the 2025 IMO with a general reasoning LLM—under the same time limits as humans, without tools. As remarkable as that sounds, it’s even more significant than the headline 🧵
1/N I’m excited to share that our latest @OpenAI experimental reasoning LLM has achieved a longstanding grand challenge in AI: gold medal-level performance on the world’s most prestigious math competition—the International Math Olympiad (IMO).

Immigrants are disproportionately likely to have founded one of Britain's fastest growing businesses.
I recommend this new report from @TenThinkTank which explains how Britain can attract more foreign born job creators.

This fake “graph” shown by a US presidential candidate at every rally is a sad lie about immigration.
The new Administration’s policies began in February 2021, not March 2020—obviously.
People lie to conceal. So what is this candidate’s lie sweating to conceal? Thread —>
