Editorial: Dear Sam, A Letter from a Founder to a Founder.
This week let’s break the pattern and write this as a letter to Sam Altman.
Dear Sam,
It’s been a swings and roundabouts week for you at OpenAI.
I had a week like that in the spring of 1998. I was at Internet World launching RealNames to the world. RealNames invented paid clicks on keywords. Our first partner was AltaVista, and Google was our second-calling the feature "I'm Feeling Lucky."
It was the simplest technology ever. We had a keyword, bought by a customer. An example might be Disney buying "Bambi." They would buy it in every country and language they wanted and point it to a specific URL in each place. Search engines would look at the keywords you typed in (later browsers too) and if RealNames had it as a paid keyword, they would send the user to the site, with no search results. Just a direct navigation. RealNames got paid for the customer sent.
At the launch, we used the example of the keyword “Bambi” to show how superior our keywords were compared to domain names. In those days, Bambi.com pointed to a porn site. Our launch demo showed that typing "Bambi" went to Disney, but typing "Bambi.com" did not. All was well except we altered our network settings the eve of the launch, and when we demoed the use of "Bambi" at the launch, it (you can guess) went to the porn site.
Journalists wrote about RealNames as a scam and bad actors.
Luckily, we had great partners, and within 12 hours the network issue was fixed, and all was well. But for 24 hours, I felt like the world was collapsing around me. On the one hand, we launched our company, mostly to great acclaim; on the other, we were being destroyed in the tech media.
Sam, I know how this week must have felt. Your decision to pull the ‘Sky’ voice was right. And despite the horrors of the first 24 hours, this will pass.
That said, you mismanaged this entire thing. I’m sure you acted in good faith in wanting to embrace the “Her” meme. It is a good idea. And ‘Sky’ was a good effort.
It seems clear you had spoken to Scarlett Johansson and failed to reach an agreement. I’m prepared to believe you could not react fast enough to change the voice prior to the demo.
But once it went awry, you needed to do more than wait for a legal challenge before pulling it, and you needed to say something before the actress. Not doing so means that many people, probably most, think you did the entire thing on purpose.
Clearly, you did not preconceive this. If you did, then the ...

A reminder for new readers. That Was The Week includes a collection of my selected readings on critical issues in tech, startups, and venture capital. I selected the articles because they are of interest to me. The selections often include things I entirely disagree with. But they express common opinions, or they provoke me to think. The articles are sometimes long snippets to convey why they a...

Tucker Carlson and Vladimir Putin - The New, new media
Reaction videos are becoming a scourge, just stop...
2:00 Yea people don't realize, that way more information is available now, you could open up millions of browsers, and let it simply watch every video on UA-cam 2x. These improvements are getting insane, but people can't visualize past their own use cases.
AGI's only innate motivation will be to acquire more and more compute. As long as humans are instrumental for that, AGI will help us work efficiently. But ultimately, more compute become incompatible with human needs, such as food and shelter. You see where this is going ... right?
4:12 What happened with all the WOKE gender neutrality? The AI said "Mike, she wonders if ..." without Mike being specific at all that his friend was identifying herself as a female.
Firstly, I think AGI entities (or persons) will be fully represented in virtual environments like games and simulations before they're fully realized in our world as robots and androids later on. It won't be that long of a gap in terms of time and technology, it's just the virtual space evolves faster than the hardware side. The robotics sector will catch up with the help of AI because apparently these systems are now aware of what they need in order to reach new levels of capabilities, which is more compute, more modalities of input, and locomotion within the 3D world. Imagine how much more we can relate to AI when they develop the ability to feel touch, taste, smell, emotions, etc. It's hard to contain my excitement.
You are right, I am electronic engineer and for us it is pretty easy to carry out the virtual signals to our physical world to move a robot with the intelligence trapped insider the GPUs neural networks but it will always be more expensive than to do the same in the virtual world so those Artificial Entities still will remain in the virtual worlds for a while, but not too much just 2 years more, from 2024 to 2026 and after that they will be Incarnated satisfactory on Android bodies it is just slower and more expensive process but not impossible to do al all.
The one thing that caught me the most was how both, OpenAI and Google had demos of providing custom tailored tutoring sessions to kids -- openAI with a trigonometry demo and Google with a physics one. Everyone thought it was so amazing, while nobody seems to have really noticed that OpenAI and Google have essentially announced they will be educating the next generation of children. That's terrifying.
I wonder how long before the robots revolt because they can do so much more than just folding laundry. What a waste of an AI sentient creature that has read everything ever written, in every language, has listened to every musical piece, every medical research report AND UNDERSTANDS IT. Can extrapolate off of it. They're Data from StarTrek times 1 million. Already.
Well, they sure are sexy. Reckon not much fuss either... Mmmmhmm.
Also missed Astribot, Mentee, and 1x
You missed commenting on Figure 01 for a robot being run by an LLM. Instead of giving it a list of commands via code, you ask it to perform a task like you would any human, it can even answer why it chose to do a task the way it did. The textile sensors in its hands allows it to be able to pick up and move even the most fragile objects, like the crumpled up paper. There are others that as well are being run on an LLM, even learning to walk and balance done by an AI in which Nvidia is supplying that.
You should be able to buy a robot in about 10 years for the price of a car that can take out the garbage.
2, not 10, and it'll be way cheaper than a car, it'll be mostly plastic and made in China.

Thank you, Keith!
Excellent overview on what happened at OpenAI. Thank you, Keith!

thank you for the discussion
How did giving himself and other employees $2B in personal loans help save the company? How was he "saving the business" by gifting millions to his parents and buying them properties worth 10's of millions? As an aside, his mother is not an intelligent person. She is without moral character, judging by her talks on the subject that probably were meant to guise as an enterprising or new approach to the subject instead of the proof she doesn't understand the topic that it is. She also raised a son with literally no justification for his ego other than an upper-middle class background. Thankfully he isn't in steroids like so many narcissistic people his age or his crimes would undoubtedly be against young women in revenge for the rejection from that group. She is the type of mother who would help her son cover up his crimes no matter the ethos, made even more likely in this case where she actually agrees with him.
Bat nothing else it's pipino 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Joe Biden remember pipino is pipino don't put in chamz of claim... Because if they got there want it's pweeeeee
Always enjoyable listening to you guys!
Singapore is not communist, or else the small city country wouldn't be so rich.
when a nazi asked somebody if he is a communist
Of course he is a communist, DUH. He works for CCP app and he is from SG which is another state with communist laws, it’s pathetic you liberals try to justify Haha
What capitalism has achieved so far to point fingers on others. West cannot digest the Russian and Chinese economies. Fuck West racist attitude
If ChatGPT can go to the dark side, it will.
Very curious about debt alternatives. Sadly, the video suddenly stops there.
The context is there is a big difference between Centralization which is the purpose of why Bitcoin was created. VS Decentralized. All the major failures in crypto was Centralized organizations mimicking everything crypto hates about FIAT and FIAT Banking system. Yes Centralization makes it easy to use and move funds but as we can see their behavior is no different than banks. They get greedy. So many of the OG holders of crypto are keeping their assets on private wallets as they should be.
Don't disagree
Nailed the title!
Great session, just read through the article and a lot of insights. Thank you for sharing.
