  Deep research in ChatGPT is now powered by GPT-5.2. Rolling out starting today with more improvements. [video]

• @openai @openai on x

  Now in deep research you can: - Connect to apps in ChatGPT and search specific sites - Track real-time progress and interrupt with follow-ups or new sources - View fullscreen reports [image]

  I've actually had this for about a week.  It's now powered by GPT-5.2 instead of o3, with better factuality, citations, and report quality, plus editable plans and mid-convo steering.  It also supports bringing your own sites + apps for expert research.  I wonder why they shipped…

  Now this I have a feeling will have some serious literature review impact

• @_simonsmith Simon Smith on x

  Substantial deep research update in ChatGPT: - Can specify apps and sites - Makes a plan, which you can modify - Puts output in a nice report viewer The report viewer looks slick, similar to the spreadsheet viewer and PowerPoint viewer OpenAI previously released, and leading me

  tf was it powered by before? what are we doing????

  Big updates to Deep Research! - Much better report quality, factuality and citations - Editable plans and steerable mid-convo - Bring your own sites + apps for expert research - Report viewing and exports

  Well @mattshumer_ just wrote an amazing treatise that will go down in history as one of the most important documents written about this forthcoming/present era of AI. Simply brilliant.

  This whole post and the main insight here is basically what it means to truly be a technologist and an early adopter simultaneously.

• @mattwalshblog Matt Walsh on x

  This is a really good article. AI is going to wipe out millions of jobs. It's happening now. Everything is changing. The avalanche is already here. Most of what we're currently arguing about will be irrelevant very soon.

• @dhaber David Haber on x

  Great advice for how to get ahead in your job at any large company right now. “I used AI to do this analysis in an hour instead of three days” is going to be the most valuable person in the room. Not eventually. Right now. Learn these tools. Get proficient. Demonstrate what's

  I can't comment on the accuracy of “AI is coming for our jobs, have you seen how incredible it is” essays like this one, but they all seem to miss a key point: The origin of many products is *part of the product.* Consider grading. I'm pretty sure AI could grade and comment the

  “But it was the model that was released last week (GPT-5.3 Codex) that shook me the most. It wasn't just executing my instructions. It was making intelligent decisions. It had something that felt, for the first time, like judgment. Like taste. The inexplicable sense of knowing

• @sethhaber Seth Haber on x

  This is the single best thing I've read on AI yet, and if you take 5-10 minutes of your life to read it I promise you'll be better prepared for what's about to come. And more confused, alarmed, concerned, excited, and everything in between. Because if you don't look away and

• @bbalfour Brian Balfour on x

  For the past year I always get asked “How will [insert role] change?” My response has been what this article says. It's the wrong question to ask. It's a complete waste of energy. You have to be investing everything you can around learning and relearning how to use AI.

• @mattshumer_ Matt Shumer on x

  Every time someone asks me what's going on with AI, I give them the safe answer. Because the real one sounds insane. I'm done holding back. I wrote what I wish I could sit down and tell everyone I care about. Send it to someone who needs to read it. https://x.com/...

• @thegarrettscott Garrett Scott on x

  This is extremely well written and encapsulates what feels so obvious to me and others working on the edge of AI. To add to this, the scary part is that AI is now smart enough to be a self sustaining entity. It can take a certain amount of money, operate in the real world, and

• @thecraighewitt Craig Hewitt on x

  As a non-technical CEO, I've spent the last 6 months rebuilding how my companies work around AI. @mattshumer_ is not exaggerating. The gap between people who get this and people who don't is about to become a chasm. If you're not paranoid, you're not paying attention.

• @miles_matthias Miles on x

  This part really resonated: “They're actively looking for ways to automate parts of their job that used to take hours. Start with the thing you spend the most time on and see what happens.” Over the holiday break I made a list of tasks I do frequently that I wish were faster or

• @sydneyfreedberg Sydney Freedberg on x

  This is a really intriguing take on the coming AI takeover of white-collar work by someone in the field, @mattshumer_ . It's scary and well worth reading. But: I'm reminded of how we were all gonna have self-driving cars by now. The counter argument to “LLMs are getting.../1

  “This might be the most important year of your career. Work accordingly.” True. If you're behind or pessimistic, read this. Great catch-up. Some more thoughts - do not be shocked that 30% of American employees will lose their jobs in the next 18 months. - get your financial

• @almostcmb Chris Brown on x

  I like the tone of this. Not confrontational, not expert maxxing, just sort of saying “Guys, I'm putting this here in plain English because you or someone you love might not be in a position to know otherwise” I think Q1 '26 will be the time frame when armchair skeptics pivot

  This is a must-read. Not just for those of us “on the inside” (to a greater or lesser degree) but even more so for your friends and family who still aren't unsure what to make of it all.

  Abandon your status quo bias. The next few years are going to be wild.

• @nathanieldwhite @nathanieldwhite on x

  I don't mean to be a hater. There are some good points in this essay. But there is something ironic about ending a 5000 word persuasive essay about AI's impact with this... (ChatGPT couldn't even get a h/t?) [image]

• @ai Anand Iyer on x

  Last week my 12yo told me any problem is solvable [through Claude]. She didn't pose a question. She said it very matter-of-factly. I thought “you can just do things” was a slogan for just us nerds. So, Matt captures why that hit me so hard. He had walked away from his computer

• @anecdotal Hollis Robbins on x

  I have been saying this to fellow academics for months now: “Part of the problem is that most people are using the free version of AI tools. The free version is over a year behind what paying users have access to. Judging AI based on free-tier ChatGPT is like evaluating the state

  The single biggest advantage you can have right now is simply being early. Early to understand it. Early to use it. Early to adapt... Sound advice and great essay by @mattshumer_
