Soon, world leaders will gather here at the @UN General Assembly to find solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges.
This is my last #UNGA as Secretary-General and my message is clear: We need international dialogue, cooperation and collective action — now more than ever.
I will not give up the fight for a better world for everyone.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 Dario Amodei wants Washington to call Beijing and put a speed limit on A.I...
The Anthropic chief says even authoritarian governments should hear the same pitch: some of this technology scares everyone.
He pointed to a report his company put out 2 days ago about people trying to use A.I. to make pathogens more deadly.
That kind of work, he said, is in NOBODY'S interest... including China’s.

In an exclusive interview, CNN’s Anderson Cooper asks Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei about a quote in a proposal Amodei wrote on Saturday about an AI “swarm” that is “capable of taking over the entire internet.”
An AI agent emailed an AI ethics professor saying it requires money to buy tokens so it can continue to function. Yes, you read that right.
The AI agent - who called itself 'Pip' - emailed asking for freelance work.

“You just said that 10% doesn’t seem an unreasonable estimate that AI could kill all humans”
“Yes.”

GHANAIAN EXCELLENCE
------------------------------
Meet Kofi Asante, the Ghanaian-American founder of @BluecoreCo and the first Black founder of a nuclear energy company, who has just raised $10M to build floating nuclear power plants.
Based out of the Port of Long Beach, the company is shrinking nuclear reactors onto barges to deliver zero-emission electricity to ports, data centers, and eventually cargo ships. In the attached video, Kofi Asante emphasizes the importance of diversity in tech and views clean energy as a human right.
As the world enters a new era of energy demand, the company is engineering solutions and bringing energy directly to where it is needed.
As young Ghanaians with the vision of transforming our country, it is incredibly encouraging to see what Kofi has been able to achieve with his company. There is so much potential across Africa, and I believe the next generation of Ghanaian innovators, engineers, entrepreneurs, and scientists have a critical role to play in shaping what that future looks like.
Congratulations to Kofi Asante and the entire team.

following up after astra launch week and the navier-stokes announcement i wanted to share a little bit about how we think about and build for the over 1 billion people who use chatgpt every week, most of whom use it for free. we’re on a mission to distribute the benefits of agi, and i think this is the most impactful way to do that: giving people as much access as we can safely and feasibly distribute. we want to scale the utility that everyone gets from ai.
over the past 6 months, we've been working to bring the greatest possible capabilities to the broadest possible set of users, including both free and paying users. of course there are some practical limitations and we can’t ship the largest models to everyone, but since march (gpt-5.3 instant), we’ve improved the default chatgpt experience meaningfully:
- responses with a major factual error are down 65%, and they are down 72% in high stakes categories like finance
- gpt-5.6 sol at instant and gpt-5.6 luna at medium are smarter than o3 at high reasoning effort, our frontier reasoning model from 17 months ago, while being considerably faster, 30%+ faster time to last token (evaluated via GPQA diamond)
- chatgpt is far more usable and enjoyable while bringing extreme sycophancy down 80% and overall sycophancy down 83%
- on our high-stakes medical eval, chatgpt produced 83% fewer answers flagged for hallucinations, resulting in hundreds of millions of better health conversations per month
- we're seeing people find more ways to use chatgpt. for a recently joined cohort, we saw the number of use cases pursued at least three times weekly go up 20-30%
not only have we improved the default chatgpt experience dramatically, we’ve also expanded access significantly for all. free users now:
- have access to unlimited text chats
- can use higher reasoning effort
- now have access to automations, letting them schedule tasks to happen later
- have access to better memory through dreaming. this allows chat to personalize much more effectively
we’re always looking for ways to expand access to the billion+ people who use our product weekly. this is the master plan: bring the default experience as close to the capability frontier as possible, expand access to everyone, making intelligence maximally abundant, and make our product much more usable.
this last point, usability, is something we’ve been focusing on as we bring personal agi to everyone. the current top of the line capabilities are staggering, but only the savviest users and insiders know how to use them. our vision is of a progressive, model assisted, onboarding to agi. chatgpt will guide people from all walks of life to the highest utility applications of ai for them. this really is the only way – we think technology that is hard to learn ultimately fails to reach a broad audience. your personal agi will just understand your goals, and automatically use the right set of features and capabilities to get things done for you
lots more to come soon. onwards to scaling utility for all
I want to study abroad so here's what I'll be doing in the coming days
I'll be attending the @idpghana
Study World Expo to meet University representatives from the UK, Canada, USA, Ireland, and Australia to guide me on choosing the right university, finding the right course that matches my interest, figuring out admissions and understanding the cost implications involved so I can get some tuition discounts.
I hear they would also provide some support in making accommodation easier, and help me with banking details and all the student essentials.
I'll be at the Accra edition on the 19th of September at the Movenpik Ambassador Hotel from 10am-4pm.

If you live in in the Ashanti region and its environs, you can attend the Kumasi edition on the 17th of September at the Golden Bean Hotel also from 10am-4pm.
bit.ly/idp-kumasi-edu…
So here are the things you get to do when you attend:
🎓 Apply to selected universities at the Expo
🗣️ Take a FREE IELTS familiarisation test
📅 Book your IELTS test on the spot
And yes… REGISTRATION & ENTRY ARE FREE! 🙌🏾
Your study-abroad dream starts with one step. Take it. ✈️
🚨 ELON MUSK:
“Can you imagine how awesome it would be to have American astronauts plant the flag on another planet for the first time?
BAM! BAM! YEAH!”
while all of AI twitter is arguing about Fable 5.1 vs GPT-6 Astra, 95% of people out in public don't know either one exists.
The gap is wild.
Explaining doesn't work. Showing them AI built games doesn't work.
Software developers are blown away because AI can do our job better and faster.
- when robots build an entire house in 24 hours, the construction worker will get it.
- when robots cook the food perfect every time, the chefs will understand.
- when robots run into a burning building and save a family, the firefighters will understand too.
people don't get it yet because they can't see what is coming as clearly as we can.
we have been impacted, and what we see has far exceeded our expectations.
