This tweet was the Big Bang of the modern #AI era.
Not the beginning of AI research, but the moment the public curve bent. The start of a 3 year arc that changed everything.
When Sam Altman posted it in late 2022, most people saw a clever experiment from OpenAI, a curiosity, something to demo at parties.
Three years later, just look at the scale. AI adoption has outpaced the PC, internet and smartphone. Productivity, research and decision making have shifted from primarily human to decisively human + machine.
And the economics changed too. As Sam Altman has argued, the real shift is not capability alone but the collapse in cost. Tasks that once cost hundreds of dollars now cost less than one.
You can feel the acceleration everywhere: in coding, science, design, operations. The centre of gravity for knowledge work has moved.
Happy 3rd Birthday, ChatGPT. You are both toddler and titan at the same time.
We know what the technology can do. What can society do with it next?
