    3/12 If you build what everyone else is building, recruiting great talent is brutally hard. Do the opposite: pick a bold, unique mission and people will line up.

    1/12 Small decisions can pivot everything. AGI felt like a pipe dream and DeepMind loomed impossibly far ahead. Sam was “very close to not starting OpenAI” — his advice? Just do it.

    12/12 Hiring tip: Early on, hire for slope, not y-intercept. Look for young, scrappy doers with upward trajectories, not polished CVs.

    2/12 ChatGPT began entirely in the realm of science fiction. That vision made it easy to attract talent — doing something “one-of-one” beats competing in a crowded space.

    9/12 Peter Thiel taught Sam: it’s hard to hold conviction when everyone says you’re wrong. Elon called GPT-1 “crap.” Stay resilient — it gets easier over time if you just keep going.

    11/12 This is the best time ever to start a tech company — the ground is shaking. Interfaces, products, even manufacturing are up for reinvention.

    4/12 Big things start small. Dream about how massive your project could become if it works, then choose a market that has a future if you pull it off.

    Bonus advice: Treat entrepreneurship like raising a baby — it’s insanely hard, but the highs make it all worth it. 🙌

    6/12 Memory is Sam's favorite feature so far, and it points toward a future personal agent that connects to all your services and can proactively message you.

    8/12 Want to start a startup that survives alongside OpenAI? Don’t build another core chat assistant. The best bets are on what nobody else is doing.

    10/12 AI agents are the next wave of workflow disruption. First ChatGPT replaced Google, then Codex became a junior dev. Next: agents that orchestrate entire workflows and free us from screens.
