Summary
The AI race, the future of AGI, and the inside story of OpenAI. Greg Brockman is the co-founder and President of OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT and GPT-5. In this rare conversation, Greg goes inside the moments that built, and nearly broke, the most important AI company in the world.

From there, the conversation turns forward: whether they're in a global AI race, how much of OpenAI’s own code is now written by AI (“it’s hard to know what percent is not “), why OpenAI stopped showing reasoning traces, what a compute-constrained world means for who gets access to AGI, and Greg’s answer to the question everyone is asking: What happens to your job?
