OpenAI releases new ChatGPT feature, plans on building chips

Welcome back, Superhuman. By popular request, OpenAI has finally shipped a new chat branching feature for ChatGPT. If you’d like to explore different directions in a chat (say, you want to brainstorm different ideas or test a different version of your writing or code), you can now simply branch into a new thread by clicking on the ‘More actions‘ menu at the bottom of the chat and selecting the branch feature.

Today: OpenAI’s new job platform and chip plans, learn how to design creatives with GenSpark AI Designer, and get the latest prompts, headlines, and trending social posts.

TODAY IN AI

1. OpenAI plans to launch a new jobs platform next year: The OpenAI Jobs Platform will “connect AI-ready workers with companies who need AI skills,” according to the company’s CEO of Applications, Fidji Simo. The ChatGPT maker also plans on rolling out a new certification program for AI roles, with a goal of certifying 10 million Americans by 2030. Launch partners for the platform include Walmart, one of the biggest private employers in the US. The move could put OpenAI in direct competition with LinkedIn.

2. OpenAI will also start producing its own AI chips: The chip is co-designed with US semiconductor manufacturer Broadcom, and will go into production next year, according to a Financial Times report. Other major AI players, such as Google and Meta, have also designed specialized chips to run their AI workloads. The move may signal an attempt to reduce reliance on Nvidia chips, which currently dominate the market.

3. DeepSeek plans on releasing new agentic model in Q4: The Chinese startup, which shook markets earlier this year with its R1 model, is reportedly working on releasing a new model with agentic capabilities. The model will “carry out multi-step actions on a person’s behalf with minimal direction from the user.“ Bloomberg reports that people familiar with the matter expect the model to be released before the end of the year.

A Former Zillow Exec Targets a $1.3T Market

Austin Allison sold his first company for $120M. He also served as an exec for Zillow. But both companies reached massive valuations before regular people had the chance to invest. So he built Pacaso differently.

Pacaso has made $110M+ in gross profits to date by disrupting the $1.3T vacation home market.

Unlike his previous companies, you can invest in Pacaso as a private company. Over 10,000 everyday investors have already invested.

FROM THE FRONTIER

Do AI models deserve rights? Big Tech can’t decide

Can an AI model feel and suffer in the same way humans do? Claude maker Anthropic definitely thinks it’s possible: The company launched a program earlier this year to study “model welfare,“ and explore questions such as when, and if, “the welfare of AI systems deserves moral consideration.“

This isn’t just a theoretical debate. Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4 and 4.1 models can now end conversations with users who are being "persistently harmful or abusive," says the company. When pushed toward harmful requests, the company claims Claude showed a "pattern of apparent distress" in its responses.

Other major players are asking the same questions. Researchers from other major AI labs like OpenAI have also embraced the idea of studying AI welfare. Google’s AI team also recently posted a job listing for a researcher to study "cutting-edge societal questions around machine cognition, consciousness and multi-agent systems.”

Some notable figures think it’s a bad idea. Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman called the idea of model welfare “both premature, and frankly dangerous“ in a recent blog post. Suleyman believes pursuing the idea will exacerbate delusions and prey on our psychological vulnerabilities, distracting us from more pressing societal problems.

PROMPT STATION

Structure my messy thinking

Prompt: I’m about to give you a raw brain dump — notes, half-formed thoughts, fragments, and messy ideas. Your job is to take everything I share and organize it into a clear, logical structure or outline.

Keep my original voice, tone, and phrasing intact.

Do not edit, rewrite, or add new ideas.

Your role is to impose order: group related points, sequence them logically, and highlight connections.

If something is unclear, mark it as “(unclear)” but don’t try to fix it.

The final output should feel like a clean outline of what I wrote, not a new draft.

Here’s the raw dump: [insert notes, fragments, half-formed ideas]
