Last December, the OpenAI business put forward a plan to completely sideline its nonprofit board. But two state attorneys general have now blocked that effort and kept that board very much alive and kicking.The for-profit's trouble was that the entire operation was founded on the premise of — and legally pledged to — the purpose of ensuring that “artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity.” So to get its restructure past regulators, the business entity has had to agree to 20 serious requirements designed to ensure it continues to serve that goal.Attorney Tyler Whitmer, as part of his work with Legal Advocates for Safe Science and Technology, has been a vocal critic of OpenAI's original restructure plan. In today's conversation, he lays out all the changes and whether they will ultimately matter.Full transcript, video, and links to learn more: https://80k.info/tw2 After months of public pressure and scrutiny from the attorneys general (AGs) of California and Delaware, the December proposal itself was sidelined — and what replaced it is far more complex and goes a fair way towards protecting the original mission:The nonprofit's charitable purpose — “ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity” — now legally controls all safety and security decisions at the company. The four people appointed to the new Safety and Security Committee can block model releases worth tens of billions.The AGs retain ongoing oversight, meeting quarterly with staff and requiring advance notice of any changes that might undermine their authority.OpenAI's original charter, including the remarkable “stop and assist” commitment, remains binding.But significant concessions were made. The nonprofit lost exclusive control of AGI once developed — Microsoft can commercialise it through 2032. And transforming from complete control to this hybrid model represents, as Tyler puts it, “a bad deal compared to what OpenAI should have been.”The real question now: will the Safety and Security Committee use its powers? It currently has four part-time volunteer members and no permanent staff, yet they're expected to oversee a company racing to build AGI while managing commercial pressures in the hundreds of billions.Tyler calls on OpenAI to prove they're serious about following the agreement:Hire management for the SSC.Add more independent directors with AI safety expertise.Maximise transparency about mission compliance."There's a real opportunity for this to go well. A lot … depends on the boards, so I really hope that they … step into this role … and do a great job. … I will hope for the best and prepare for the worst, and stay vigilant throughout."Chapters:We're hiring (00:00:00)Cold open (00:00:40)Tyler Whitmer is back to explain the latest OpenAI developments (00:01:46)The original radical plan (00:02:39)What the AGs forced on the for-profit (00:05:47)Scrappy resistance probably worked (00:37:24)The Safety and Security Committee has teeth — will it use them?

Here is a message I overlooked in the “Set Apart” series. One of the top 5 teachings that sets apart the truth from that which is not truth, is total depravity. We can never truly understand why salvation is by grace alone until we clearly see total depravity. The reason salvation can only be by …

Old mindsets regarding "full-time church ministry" are out. and by necessity, co-vocational ministry is the new reality in building God's Kingdom. Old concepts of bi-vocational ministry, where we compartmentalized ministry work so that it can be financially supported by secular work are being replaced by a holistic approach where everything we do at work is an essential part of building and representing God's Kingdom on earth. Raised in the UK, Simon studied economics, and international affairs. He moved to the U.S. to attend PBC, where he received his BTh. Simon has led numerous Christian schools and has a long teaching career in biblical worldview and international politics. He received his MA in Government and Public Policy and Doctorate of Education from Regent University.We hope that this teaching left you more encouraged and equipped today.

Hey, it's Alex! Happy Halloween friends! I'm excited to bring you this weeks (spooky) AI updates! We started the show today with MiniMax M2, the currently top Open Source LLM, with an interview with their head of eng, Skyler Miao, continued to dive into OpenAIs completed restructuring into a non-profit and a PBC, including a deep dive into a live stream Sam Altman had, with a ton of spicy details, and finally chatted with Arjun Desai from Cartesia, following a release of Sonic 3, a sub 49ms voice model! So, 2 interviews + tons of news, let's dive in! (as always, show notes in the end)Hey, if you like this content, it would mean a lot if you subscribe as a paid subscriber.Open Source AIMiniMax M2: open-source agentic model at 8% of Claude's price, 2× speed (X, Hugging Face )We kicked off our open-source segment with a banger of an announcement and a special guest. The new king of open-source LLMs is here, and it's called MiniMax M2. We were lucky enough to have Skyler Miao, Head of Engineering at Minimax, join us live to break it all down.M2 is an agentic model built for code and complex workflows, and its performance is just staggering. It's already ranked in the top 5 globally on the Artificial Analysis benchmark, right behind giants like OpenAI and Anthropic. But here's the crazy part: it delivers nearly twice the speed of Claude 3.5 Sonnet at just 8% of the price. This is basically Sonnet-level performance, at home, in open source.Skylar explained that their team saw an “impossible triangle” in the market between performance, cost, and speed—you could only ever get two. Their goal with M2 was to build a model that could solve this, and they absolutely nailed it. It's a 200B parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model, but with only 10B active parameters per inference, making it incredibly efficient.One key insight Skylar shared was about getting the best performance. M2 supports multiple APIs, but to really unlock its reasoning power, you need to use an API that passes the model's “thinking” tokens back to it on the next turn, like the Anthropic API. Many open-source tools don't support this yet, so it's something to watch out for.Huge congrats to the MiniMax team on this Open Weights (MIT licensed) release, you can find the model on HF! MiniMax had quite a week, with 3 additional releases, MiniMax speech 2.6, an update to their video model Hailuo 2.3 and just after the show, they released a music 2.0 model as well! Congrats on the shipping folks! OpenAI drops gpt-oss-safeguard - first open-weight safety reasoning models for classification ( X, HF )OpenAI is back on the open weights bandwagon, with a finetune release of their previously open weighted gpt-oss models, with gpt-oss-safeguard. These models were trained exclusively to help companies build safeguarding policies to make sure their apps remains safe! With gpt-oss-safeguards 20B and 120B, OpenAI is achieving near parity with their internal safety models, and as Nisten said on the show, if anyone knows about censorship and safety, it's OpenAI! The highlight of this release is, unlike traditional pre-trained classifiers, these models allow for updates to policy via natural language!These models will be great for businesses that want to safeguard their products in production, and I will advocate to bring these models to W&B Inference soon! A Humanoid Robot in Your Home by 2026? 1X NEO announcement ( X, Order page, Keynote )Things got really spooky when we started talking about robotics. The company 1X, which has been on our radar for a while, officially launched pre-orders for NEO, the world's first consumer humanoid robot designed for your home. And yes, you can order one right now for $20,000, with deliveries expected in early 2026.The internet went crazy over this announcement, with folks posting receipts of getting one, other folks stoking the uncanny valley fears that Sci-fi has built into many people over the years, of the Robot uprising and talking about the privacy concerns of having a human tele-operate this Robot in your house to do chores. It can handle chores like cleaning and laundry, and for more complex tasks that it hasn't learned yet, it uses a teleoperation system where a human “1X Expert” can pilot the robot remotely to perform the task. This is how it collects the data to learn to do these tasks autonomously in your specific home environment.The whole release is very interesting, from the “soft and quiet” approach 1X is taking, making their robot a 66lbs short king, draped in a knit sweater, to the $20K price point (effectively at loss given how much just the hands cost), the teleoperated by humans addition, to make sure the Robot learns about your unique house layout. The conversation on the show was fascinating. We talked about all the potential use cases, from having it water your plants and look after your pets while you're on vacation to providing remote assistance for elderly relatives. Of course, there are real privacy concerns with having a telepresence device in your home, but 1X says these sessions are scheduled by you and have strict no-go zones.Here's my prediction: by next Halloween, we'll see videos of these NEO robots dressed up in costumes, helping out at parties. The future is officially here. Will you be getting one? If not this one, when will you think you'll get one? OpenAI's Grand Plan: From Recapitalization to ASIThis was by far the biggest update about the world of AI for me this week! Sam Altman was joined by Jakub Pachocki, chief scientist and Wojciech Zaremba, a co-founder, on a live stream to share an update about their corporate structure, plans for the future, and ASI goals (Artificial Superintelligence) First, the company now has a new structure: a non-profit OpenAI Foundation governs the for-profit OpenAI Group. The foundation starts with about 26% equity and has a mission to use AI for public good, including an initial $25 billion commitment to curing diseases and building an “AI Resilience” ecosystem.But the real bombshells were about their research timeline. Chief Scientist Jakub Pachocki stated that they believe deep learning systems are less than a decade away from superintelligence (ASI). He said that at this point, AGI isn't even the right goal anymore. To get there, they're planning to have an “AI research intern” by September 2026 and a fully autonomous AI researcher comparable to their human experts by March 2028. This is insane if you think about it. As Yam mentioned, OpenAI is already shipping at an insane speed, releasing Models and Products, Sora, Atlas, Pulse, ChatGPT app store, and this is with humans, assisted by AI. And here, they are talking about complete and fully autonomous researchers, that will be infinitely more scalable than humans, in the next 2 years. The outcomes of this are hard to imagine and are honestly mindblowing. To power all this innovation, Sam revealed they have over $1.4 trillion in obligations for compute (over 30 GW). And said even that's not enough. Their aspiration is to build a “compute factory” capable of standing up one gigawatt of new compute per week, and he hinted they may need to “rethink their robotics strategy” to build the data centers fast enough. Does this mean OpenAI humanoid robots building factories?

Does it matter which Bible we use? Today we often choose a version of that Bible that best suits our personal preferences. With over 50 versions of the English Bible, it is wise to consider how these versions came to be. But the various versions contain so many contradictions with each other until it is …

How often do we act like the Israelites in how quickly we turn away from God? Even after experiencing his great deliverances, we are quick to turn away. In this message, Brother Luke looks at a Savior that stands in the breach to make intercession for us even when we rebel against our God. 10.12.25.He.Stands.in.the.Breach.Luke.Hagler

The Lord is very clear about His view on pride. He hates and resists it. But He is also very clear about humility. I am so thankful we serve a God who is very tender-hearted towards his children when they display humility. In this message I look at how a little humility goes a long …

Our lives go through seasons, and Solomon wisely addresses this in the book of Ecclesiastes. In this final message of the anniversary meeting, Elder David Crawford preaches about the seasons of life we all face, and how we must respond. 10.05.25.Seasons.David.Crawford

In recent weeks, several well-known people in the media have dismissed at the least and at the worst, mocked prayer. In this message, Brother David looks at the need for ongoing fervent prayer. 10.04.25.Should.We.Keep.Praying.David.Crawford

In the first message of the Anniversary meeting, Elder Neil Honea, pastor of 5 Mile PBC, presents a timely sermon for both young and old. As Jacob was dying, he recalled how he had to fight battles against the wicked culture around him, in addition to being a shepherd. It is important the younger generation …

In the morning message preached by Elder David Crawford, he looks at some shocking ways we may be engaged in idolatry and not realize it. 10.04.25.Weak.and.Beggarly.Elements.David.Crawford

When we think of the word prodigal, our minds usually drift to the account of what is known as the prodigal son in Luke’s gospel. Interestingly, the word prodigal is not found in the account. So, we may legitimately ask, who is the real prodigal? In this message, I look at this question. 09.28.25.Who.Is.the.Real.Prodigal.Tim.McCool

Acts 8: 26-40

The Bible tells us the Lord uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. David used a sling and a stone to slay a giant. Samson used the jawbone of an ass to slay 1,000 philistines. A child of God uses things to fight their battles that the world would say are …

In Matthew chapter 7 we read about a narrow way that few people find.  Too often this is used as a scare tactic verse to make people question their salvation.  In this sermon, Bro. Luke uses the scriptures to show how this narrow path is not a path to Heaven, but rather a path of Godly …

Besides John 3:16, one of the next most popular verses is Romans 8:28. We hear it often quoted in the context of horrible tragedies and indescribable difficulties. But just like John 3:16, do we know the true meaning of it? If we are familiar with the verse itself, are we familiar with the surrounding verses? …

In a natural sense, we are American citizens. But politics and other issues divide God’s people, and we lose sight of our true citizenship, which is in the Kingdom of God, and this supersedes all natural citizenships. There is only one hope of overcoming the division that exists today, and that is through recognizing where …

What is the purpose of the gospel? Most believe its purpose is to keep people from going to hell. But what does the Bible tell us? In the ‘set apart’ series, I look at this important teaching. Is the gospel necessary for us to hear in order to go to heaven? Is it something else? …

For several weeks, I have looked at teachings from the Bible that set apart the church of God. As we have seen with the other teachings, most of these are lost to the modern church today. And this subject is no exception. In this message, I look at what once was a common practice among …

In the aftermath of the recent horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk, Brother Luke delivers a timely and comforting message about persecution, and how we as Christians must process such evil. 09.14.25.Persecution.Luke.Hagler

Have you been taught your entire church life that you are commanded by God to tithe? This commonly presented “command” to tithe, is another spiritual urban legend. Nowhere in the NT does the Lord or the Apostles teach the OT law system of tithing. Instead, they taught a God-honoring practice that was older than tithing, …

When God told Jonah to go to Nineveh and tell them the city would be destroyed in 40 days, Jonah fled to Tarshish. Something was eating him up, besides the whale that would eventually eat him. Why? Was he afraid the Ninevites would harm him? When we look closer at the words of Jonah, we …
