During an OpenAI livestream, CEO Sam Altman asked Chief Scientist Jakub Pachocki how people will find purpose as artificial intelligence automates more tasks. The discussion sparked a broader reflection on how meaning is rooted in the act of doing, especially through analog crafts, human skill, and imperfect experiences that machines cannot replicate. From pottery and glass blowing to handwritten notes and physical activities, the piece argues that the value of slowness, risk, and personal involvement will become the primary source of fulfillment in a world increasingly shaped by AI.

During an OpenAI livestream, CEO Sam Altman asked chief scientist Jakub Pachocki a provocative question about how meaning and fulfillment will evolve as artificial intelligence automates more work. Pachocki responded by emphasizing the value of human participation, analog experiences, and the imperfections that AI cannot replicate. The discussion explored how people may seek craft, physical activity, and personal connections to find purpose, suggesting that the very aspects AI seeks to eliminate—slowness, risk, and embodied effort—could become sources of meaning in a highly automated world.

During an OpenAI livestream, CEO Sam Altman asked chief scientist Jakub Pachocki how meaning will look in a future shaped by artificial intelligence. Pachocki responded that meaning will arise from the human desire to engage with processes, crafts, and analog experiences that AI cannot replicate. He highlighted the value of hands‑on activities, imperfect creations, and personal connections—such as glass‑blowing demonstrations, handwritten notes, and physical pursuits—as sources of fulfillment in an increasingly automated world.

OpenAI revealed its goal to develop an intern‑level AI research assistant by September 2026 and a fully autonomous "legitimate AI researcher" by 2028. The announcement came during a livestream with CEO Sam Altman and chief scientist Jakub Pachocki, who described the upcoming system as capable of handling large research projects independently. In parallel, OpenAI transitioned to a public‑benefit corporation, freeing it from non‑profit constraints and allowing new capital‑raising opportunities. The nonprofit OpenAI Foundation will retain a 26% stake, oversee research direction, and commit $25 billion to disease‑curing initiatives, while the for‑profit arm plans massive infrastructure investment to support the ambitious AI roadmap.
