OpenAI CEO Sam Altman urged fundamental redesign of operating systems, user interfaces, and internet protocols to support humans and AI agents. Work on the Codex app exposed limitations in current paradigms designed for human-only interaction. Multiple AI builders echoed the view, citing routine use of agents for information access and internet tasks that highlight gaps in existing infrastructure.

GPT-2 Image produces complete Lego set designs featuring product box renders, instruction manuals, and parts lists with real Bricklink IDs. Users order exact physical components from Bricklink to build the models. The tool outputs finished set concepts and precise bills of materials from high-level prompts. Multiple demonstrations display coherent, buildable kits. Dennison Bertram first detailed the capability, later shared by Sara Hooker and Paul Graham.

OpenAI's GPT Image-2 processes user-submitted left and right palm photographs to produce labeled diagrams of heart, head, life, fate, and sun lines. Outputs feature explanatory text on line meanings, personal strengths, and career observations like management or entrepreneurship aptitude. Side-by-side infographics merge visual maps with interpretive sections. Demonstrations by Linus Ekenstam gained widespread circulation after sharing.

OpenAI supports LTF, which funds a Super PAC using fake AI journalists to oppose AI regulation advocates. The Super PAC also receives funding from a16z and OpenAI president Greg Brockman. Anthropic research scientist Ethan Perez and other AI researchers question the arrangement, citing conflicts with OpenAI’s principles of Democratization, Empowerment, Universal Prosperity, Resilience, and Adaptability.

Liam Price, a 23-year-old without advanced mathematics training, solved the longstanding Erdős conjecture on primitive sets using a ChatGPT Pro subscription. Primitive sets are collections of whole numbers where no number divides another. He posted the unconditional nine-sentence proof on erdosproblems.com after prompting the model without internet search to reference lemmas and pursue novel arguments. The solution resolves a problem open for 60 years.

Periodic Labs prepares to open an industrial-scale science laboratory this summer. Co-founder William Fedus posted a photograph of the under-construction facility featuring extensive ventilation ducts, cabling, and construction equipment. The update highlights bringing industrial-scale science capabilities online in coming months. Researchers quoted and replied to the post, amplifying the announcement.
