Ex-OpenAI Lead Predicts Humans Exit AI Research in Two Years
Former OpenAI researcher who led o1 and o3 says researchers have days of work left.
Posts on X report an interview with Jerry Tworek, who spent seven years at OpenAI leading o1 and o3 and building the original Codex. Tworek states that AI researchers now tell each other they have only a few days of work left and should finish while they can. He predicts humans will stop being a meaningful part of AI research within two years. One reply quotes him comparing today's AI systems to early planes and computers to argue current architectures already limit further gains. The posts cite no independent confirmation of the timeline.
