Understanding ChatGPT Work

Simon Willison’s Weblog 1 month ago 42

OpenAI announced ChatGPT Work and the author of this piece documents how it works after iterating since July 9. ChatGPT Work is available only to subscribers paying at least $20/month (free and $8/month tiers do not have access). The article claims Work adds cloud execution with internet-capable code, a headless Chrome browser, persistent shared filesystem access across sessions, and capabilities like publishing ChatGPT Sites and running sub-agent sessions.

🔮 Unbounded self-improvement and its limits #599

Exponential View 1 month ago 51

The article argues that unbounded recursive self-improvement is mathematically possible but practically constrained by factors like generation time and physical limits affecting iteration speed and compute. It cites an OpenAI chip called Jalapeño that was built in about 16 months and reported to deliver 1.5–1.9x higher tokens-per-megawatt peak throughput than comparable Nvidia silicon. As a result, the piece shifts focus from endless RSI to faster, segmented progress across open models and more specialized AI hardware rather than expecting infinite acceleration in AI capabilities.
