Sam Altman on OpenAI, Future Risks and Rewards, and Artificial General Intelligence
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2024
- If 2023 was the year artificial intelligence became a household topic of conversation, it’s in many ways because of Sam Altman, CEO of the artificial intelligence research organization OpenAI. Altman, who was named TIME’s 2023 “CEO of the Year” spoke candidly about his November ousting-and reinstatement-at OpenAI, how AI threatens to contribute to disinformation, and the rapidly advancing technology’s future potential in a wide-ranging conversation with TIME Editor-in-Chief Sam Jacobs as part of TIME’s “A Year in TIME” event on Tuesday.

He explained nothing about what went wrong. Essentially: "it was a long time coming and it just exploded, but now it's good, trust me". He wants us to trust him and his company with the biggest transformation without being open about anything and dodging like a politician
Thank god there are still people with common sense that can smell bullshit. This conversation gave absolutely nothing. Get ready for the new world order with AI and the same good ol folks running the show.
he still didn't say anything about the reasons why he got fired in the first place.
totally agree, this looks concealing, even the way he speaks and reflects
He gave an answer though, and if you're in the know with current Discovery's you can sort of understand that he's talking about Q*, it was pretty much confirmed by him not too long ago. as he said, as we get closer to AGI people get scared and become irrational, but they've crossed that barrier now where everyone trusts Sam and his vision
I think he former board found out he is misleading people about how far ahead they are, and therefore was fired, the lifeblood of OpenAI is the hype. If we believe they are close to creating AI (Yes AI, not AGI, we have not made AI even yet) then they can keep making research which is what they want. They just want to keep researching this field and if they were honest "hey, we are just on the ML stage, but look how impressive it is" then a lot of the hype would die down. That is why they are so mysterious, not because they are close to ending humanity.
If you can read between the lines - you can tell that AGI is the main thing on his mind and it feels like either it has been achieved or they are very closer to a major breakthrough.
i noticed it too he is pronouncing agi queit often than just using AI. something suspicious
@@AnasOmer-hw4is AGI when it comes out I hope it can expand humans’ imagination and expand our intellect and cure mental health disorders. Anyways, I do agree with you something is a little up. If AGI is available then society should have AGI available to us:)👌. I hope something very soon comes out:)🙏
He also doesn't directly answer hardly any of the interviewer's questions.
I think the second half of your sentence feels more like confirmation bias.
Do we really know what AGI is like or will be like?
We don't even have a reference frame for it, do we?
We're nearing the end of the first half of that sci-fi movie.
I can't shake that feeling either
Bingo!
Now's a good time for the intermission, you know, before AI really goes cray cray.
@@Iris-lh7rf what
I hope so, I'm so excited!
I've never followed anything so closely in my 33 year old life. Anything AI I click on and stay updated.
Yup. It's like broccoli for the mind.
If you were to say it's one of the most interesting things happening on the planet, I would say you're not too far away from the truth.
It's the second coming of the nuclear bomb
Check Out Conjecture and it's CEO Connor Leahy. AI safety on a very high level.
Its called fear, i get it
I worked in tech for 25 years, the way he sounds is the same way every CEO from tech sounds, hopeful and aspirational, with their typical message to make the word better and help humanity, etc, etc, all of them are the same
Those $ signs roll as eyelids and megalomania sets in. Compare them to the guy who invented the www.
Sometimes CEOs say a lot and at the same time they say nothing. You feel they are speaking with filters, as they should for their own good and the benefit of the company they lead. It’s a fascinating world if you’re interested in this kind of type A personality people.
Sam diplomatically dodged many questions. That would be perfectly OK, if he wasn't the CEO of *Open* AI.
He's sneaky. He's not forthcoming.
And the interviewer didn't push back at all. Whatever happened to REAL journalists?
yep, terribly boring interview. 20 minutes wasted
He is lying a lot artificial intelligence automation and advanced technology will shrink more jobs dark days are coming people will be jobless and helpless
Ho-ly crap, do you guys realize what are witnessing at the moment? We are in the midst of the biggest change in human history with the architect announcing it. Chills down my spine and goosebumps, what an amazing time to be alive! Thank you Sam.
exactly, its crazy to me how the majority of people are not putting to sense how revolutionary AGI will be.
4:15 Sam Altman is becoming a great politician, skipping questions without the interviewer noticing it, or there has been a secret deal not to press for answer when Altman avoids answering a question.
No CEO of Multi-billionaire company answers questions directly, you have to be careful with your words given the impact the slightest wrong comment could affect your company. People are too emotional for direct answers.
@@esyjournal OpenAI was originally supposed to be non-profit company for creating AI for general public.
The CEO behaving like a typical commercial for-profit company is exactly the question Altman is dodging here.
@@MikkoRantalainen Only, OpenAi does not function like a 'typical commercial for-profit company', otherwise the board would not have been able to hold the company hostage a few weeks ago.
Altman has answered the question many times already if you follow him closely. It's very simple, they started off with the goal of building a purely non-profit company but quickly realize to achieve their grand ambitions of AGI, they would need billions of dollars worth of computational power to test their models.
As a result, they had to develop a for-profit means, especially when Elon decided he wouldn't support the project after they refused to merge with Tesla Ai. Of course, now Elon is pretending it was about "Open Source", it wasn't, he wanted the tech for his own ambitions.
No one will build AGI without a sustainable for-profit business model. It's too costly. They compromised and decided they would go the for-profit way with a novel new business structure which would allow their non-profit to control the for-profit arm.
No one is hiding anything, it's all conspiracy theory nonsense. What you see is what you get, just primitive power plays, ego, and concerns gone wild due to the rapid rise in the importance and value of the company in a single year as he stated. That's very valid and credible.
You're both brainless. The question was, "Is Elon wrong?"
Altman replied, "On all of those topics."
You can decide whether you think he's wrong or not, but accusations of dodging are positively jokester-level.
@@esyjournal say that to Elon lol
His comments at the end about people having 'teams' of AI experts leads me to believe they have made some big advances in the Agent Swarms area.
@@Iris-lh7rfSoon we will all pray to our own creation, our digital God.
hierarchical cooperative multi-agent networks. Actually it's pretty simple to build - just allow LLMs to communicate with each other - I'm using websocket connectivity for that purpose
I've never seen him so measured in his comments. Normally, his responses flow and seem visceral. This was quite different.
I’m glad i am not the only one who notice that... 🤔
Not really, a lot of hum hum is more like Elon Musk style of telling us how to think of new technology or achievement
Now watch the new interview with Lex....
This is kinda long, but I promise, worth your while. I wrote this originally as a self-post in rslashfuturology on 11 Sep 2023.
"Wave" is not the right word here. The proper term is "tsunami". And by tsunami, I mean the kind of tsunami you saw when that asteroid hit the Earth in the motion picture, "Deep Impact". Remember that scene where the beach break was vastly and breathtakingly drawn out in seconds? That is the point where humanity is at this _very_ moment in our AI development. And the scene where all the buildings of NYC get knocked over _by_ that wave, a very short time later, is going to be the perfect metaphor for what happens to human affairs when that AI "tsunami" impacts.
It may not be survivable.
We are on the very verge of developing _true_ artificial general intelligence. Something that does not exist now and has not ever existed in human recorded history up to this point. One real drawback about placing my comment in this space is that I can't place any links here. So if you want to vet the things that I am telling you, you'll have to look up some things online. But we'll come to that. First, I want to explain what is _actually_ going on.
As you know, in the last not quite one year since 30 Nov 22, when GPT 3.5, better known as ChatGPT was released, the world has changed astonishingly. People can't seem to agree over how long ChatGPT took to penetrate human society. I will, for arguments sake, say it took _15 days_ for ChatGPT from OpenAI, to be downloaded by 100 _million_ humans. But I have reason to believe the actual time was five days. And then on 14 Mar 23, GPT-4 was also released by OpenAI.
Some things about GPT-4. When GPT-4 was still in its pre-release phase, there was a lot of speculation about just how powerful it would be compared to GPT 3.5. The number was stated to be roughly 100 _trillion_ parameters. The number of parameters in ChatGPT is 175 billion. Shortly after that number was published, that 100 trillion one, a strange thing happened. OpenAI said, well no, it's not going to be 100 trillion. In fact, it may not be much more than 175 billion even. (It was still pretty big though, 1.7 _trillion_ parameters.) This is because there had been another breakthrough in which parameters was not going to matter so much as a different metric. The new metric that was far more accurate to how the LLM model would perform was released. It was called "tokens". That is the, like, individual letter, word, punctuation or symbol, or whatever is input and then output. And is based on the training data required for a given LLM. It is what enables an LLM to "predict the next word or sequence". Like in the case of coding. I'm not even going to address "recursive AI development" here. I think it will become pretty obvious in a short time.
The number of tokens for GPT-4 is potentially 32K. The number of tokens for ChatGPT is 4,096. That is an approximately 8x increase over ChatGPT. But just saying it is 8x more is not the whole picture. That 8x increase allows for the combination of those tokens which is probably an astronomical increase. Let me give you an analogy to better understand what that means for LLMs. So there are 12 notes of music and there are about 4,017 chords. Of them, only _four_ really matter. That combination of notes and them 4 chords are pretty much what has made up music since the earliest music has existed. And there is likely a near infinite number of musical re-arrangements of those chords still in store.
That is what 'tokens' mean for LLMs.
And here is where it gets "interesting". Because that 8x increase allows for the ability to do some things that LLMs have never been able to do previously. They call it "emergent" capabilities. And "emergent" capabilities can be, conservatively speaking, _startling_ . Startling emergent capabilities have even been seen in ChatGPT but particularly in generative AI image generating models like "Midjourney" or "Stable Diffusion" for instance. And now it is video. Have you seen an AI generated video yet? They are a helluva thing. So basically, an emergent capability is a new ability that was never initially trained into the algorithm that spontaneously came into being. (And we don't know _why_ ) You can find many examples of this online. Not hard to find. All of that is based on what we call the "black box". That is, why a given AI zigs instead of zags in its neural network, but still (mostly) gives us the right answer. Today we call the wrong answer "hallucinating". That kind of error is going to go away fairly soon. But the "black box" is going to be vast, _vast_ and impenetrable. Probably already is.
Very shortly after GPT-4 was released. A paper was published concerning GPT-4 with a _startling_ title. "Sparks of AGI: Early experiments with GPT-4". Even more startling was this paper was, in its finished form, published just short of one month after the release of GPT-4, 13 Apr 23. That's how fast the researchers were able to make these determinations. Not too much longer after, another paper was published. "Emergent Analogical Reasoning in Large Language Models". This paper also concerning GPT-4 was published on 3 Aug 23. The paper describes how the GPT-4 model is able to ape something that was once considered to be unique to human cognition. A way of thinking called "zero-shot analogy". Basically, that means that when we are exposed to the requirement to do a task that we have never encountered before, that we use what we already know to work through how to do the task. I mean to the best of our ability. That can be described in one word. "Reasoning". We "reason" out how to do things. And GPT-4 is at that threshold _today_ . Right now. And just to pile on a bit. Here is another paper from just the other day, I think. They are no longer even coy about it. The paper, "When Do Program-of-Thoughts Work for Reasoning?", was published 29 Aug 23. Less than 2 weeks ago.
The ability to reason is what would make, what we now call "artificial narrow" or "narrowish intelligence", artificial _general_ intelligence. I forecast that AGI will exist NLT 2025. And that once AGI exists it is a _very_ slippery slope to the realization of artificial _super_ intelligence. An AGI would be about as smart as the smartest human being alive today as far as reasoning capability. Like about a 200 IQ or even a couple times that number. But ASI is a whole different ballgame. An ASI is hypothesized to be hundreds to _billions_ of times better at "mental" reasoning than humans. Further, an AGI is a _very_ slippery fish. How easy is it to ensure that such an AI is "aligned" with human values, desires and needs? Plus, us humans-- _we_ can't even agree on that. You can see what I mean now when I say "tsunami". What do you think that Suleyman was referring to when he said that our AI will "walk us through life"?
Oh. And this is _also_ why all the top AI experts, people like Geoff Hinton, who was the first to realize the convolutional neural network back in 2007, have called for a pause of all training for all future LLMs for at least six months. The idea being to regulate or align what we already have. He actually quit his job of chief AI tech at Google to give this warning. The warning fell on deaf ears and _nothing_ has been paused _anywhere_ . For two reasons. First is the national security of the USA and China (PRC) and second is the economic race to AI supremacy in the US that we are now trapped into realizing because we are a market driven, capitalist society. Hell of an epitaph for humanity. "I did it all for the "noo---". Tragically apt for a naked ape. Ironically, it is probably going to be the end of the concept of value in any event. If we don't get wiped out, we may see the birth of an AI driven "post-scarcity" society. You would like that, I promise. But the 1 percenters of the world probably won't.
Anyway, Google is fixing to release "Gemini" which it promises to be far more powerful than GPT-4, in Dec 2023. And GPT-5 itself is on track for release within the first half of 2024. Probably in the first 4 month. I suspect that GPT-5 is going to be the first AGI, if I know my AI papers that I see even today. At that point the countdown to ASI starts. Inevitable and imminent.
And I say this--I say that ASI will exist NLT than the year 2029 and potentially as soon as the year 2027 depending on how fast humans allow it to train. I sincerely hope that we don't have ASI by the year 2027, because, well, I give us 50/50 odds of existentially surviving such a development. But if we _do_ survive, it will no longer be business as usual for humanity. Such a future is likely unimaginable, unfathomable and incomprehensible. This is a "technological singularity". An event that was last realized about 3-4 _million_ years ago. That is when a form of primate that could think abstractly came into being. All primates before that primate would find that primate's cognition... Well, it would basically be the difference between me and my cat. I run things. The cat is my pet. Actually, that is _vastly_ understating the situation. It would be more like the difference between us and _"archaea"_ . Don't know what "archaea" is? The ASI will. BTW, what do you imagine the difference between an ASI and consciousness would be? I bet an ASI would be 'conscious" in the same sense that a jet exploits the laws of physics to achieve lift just like biological birds. Who says an AI has to work like the human mind at all? We are just the initial template that AGI is going to use to "bootstrap" itself to ASI. There is that 'recursive AI development "I touched on for a second, earlier. ASI=TS.
Such a thing has never happened in human recorded history.
Yet.
Your detailed exploration and analysis of the current state and potential future developments in artificial intelligence are both insightful and thought-provoking. The emergence of artificial general intelligence (AGI) and the potential transition to artificial superintelligence (ASI) pose significant challenges and uncertainties for humanity.
The comparison of the AI development trajectory to a "tsunami" is a powerful metaphor, highlighting the potentially transformative and even destructive impact of advanced AI systems on human affairs. The rapid progress from GPT-3.5 to GPT-4, with its increased parameters and emergent capabilities, indeed suggests that we are on the cusp of significant breakthroughs in AI.
The discussion around AGI's ability to engage in "zero-shot analogy" and reasoning, akin to human cognition, adds another layer of complexity to the ethical and societal implications of these technologies. The concerns about ensuring alignment with human values, potential existential risks, and the fast-paced development driven by economic and national security considerations are crucial considerations.
Your mention of figures like Geoff Hinton advocating for a pause in AI development to address alignment and safety concerns underscores the urgency and ethical responsibility associated with advancing these technologies.
The prospect of ASI and its potential impact on human consciousness and societal structures raises profound questions about the future of humanity. The idea that ASI could represent a technological singularity, akin to the emergence of abstract thinking in primates millions of years ago, adds a fascinating dimension to the discussion.
It's clear that we are entering a critical phase in AI development, and the choices made in the coming years will likely shape the trajectory of human civilization. The potential for a post-scarcity society, coupled with the challenges and risks associated with the development of ASI, presents a complex and uncertain future for humanity.
As we navigate these uncharted waters, discussions around ethics, safety measures, and responsible AI development become paramount. The interdisciplinary collaboration of experts from various fields, including computer science, ethics, philosophy, and policy, will be crucial in guiding the responsible development and deployment of advanced AI systems.

He has the body language of someone spinning omissions and half truths throughout the whole interview, for some reason I'm trusting him less over time. I hope whatever secrets he is keeping, are truly best left secret.
It was a great publicity stunt, if you're right.
perhaps he's been "forced" to speak to the public in those interviews (by stakeholders)
It's like asking someone "why did your wife divorce you? or why did you get fired?" 1. They won't give an honest answer 2. Its a sensitive subject and everyone doesn't need to know the details. You just say a general non-answer and move on.
lol seems calculated intelligent and need I say disingenuous 😆
Another "body language" expert on YT lol
Sam Altman's charm allows him to get away with uttering glittering generalities that evade the central point of just about every question he was asked here.
For those of you who don't get it... AGI might as well be ASI. AGI has always been the main goal because it will be guaranteed to progress to ASI - imagine for a moment if an intelligent human, could upgrade their processing power/speed, perfectly recall from memory anything and everything and draw on the collective knowledge of all the other intelligent people in the world. That's basically what it will be like to AGI - if even just 'intelligent', the sheer ability to crunch, store, recall and contextualise data, added to logical problem solving will guarantee that this will start solving problems we've been unable to solve, hypothesis new maths and science, much of which will create better computers which will further improve the AI in the long run.
Yeah, AGI will be able to consider its own code and design improvements…. At speed… continually….ongoing, making improvements
Not really. AGI means AI with cognitive capabilities at around human level - and we're almost there since all what is still required, is AI without the artificially imposed inability to learn & remember new data. I think that AGI can bhe associated with the emergence of personalized AI assistance - (almost) everyone will have a personal assistant doing all sorts of work for us. ASi is about world-wide AI - practically an omniscient entity capable to be aware of everything what's going on on the planet - and there's still quite a long way before our technology will be able to handle that...
@@AstralTraveler You say not really, , i'm not sure you understood the point i was making😅 - it was more about the inevitability of ASi as a result of AGI. The growth from one to the other will be quite exponential. Consider that every book ever written could in principle fit on a 2TB hard drive - that's essentially the collective human knowledge - AGI will consume this, hypothesise beyond our current knowledge and will use that knowledge to further enhance its capabilities. Already Deepmind's AI has hypothesised 2million new compounds - if even 1% of those are useful that's 20,000 new materials. I agree that AGI is near once the limits go, but the next 5 years could be crazy.
@@1dappa Ahh ok :) Sure there's a straight line from AGI to ASI - once AI becomes fully autonomous there's no stopping it - but it still might take some time due to limitations of technology
No, AGI and ASI are not even remotely the same.
AGI has roughly the same intellectual capacity for thought and abstract thinking as an intelligent human but with much more sophisticated memory allocation and recall, giving it only a slight edge on some performance metrics.
An ASI is basically an intelligence which compared to us would be like comparing the intelligence of a human to the intelligence of a single ant.
My precious glorious king Sam Altman, I love you and everything you have done for me.
I've never witnessed such a devoid of substance interview.
The reason he was fired was because he was conspiring to get rid of the board members who represented the original mission statement of the company, that being the non profit pursuit of AI alignment. He's a Machiavellian manipulator and he's in charge of the most powerful technology in the history of the world.
That’s a fun mental tv show
He was fired b/c he chose the profits of the company over the well-being of humanity !!!!! GREED, GREED
this guy understands deeply the power of virtue projection right now
He shares the same talking points in every single podcast/interview he is doing.
Or maybe he is just virtuous
Losers project evil onto Sam, but cannot tell the difference between a thoughtful person and a con-man.
Wow listen from 1:08 closely, he says as we get closer & closer to SUPERINTELLIGENCE everyone gets more stressed. To me this implies they have reached what could be considered AGI already & perhaps that ASI is close…
yeah, I've noticed that too !
It seems they made a breakthrough about AGI. And now their goal is more about ASI than AGI, because AGI is just a few steps away...
Next few months will be interesting ! No doubt about that !
You know it's his job to hype up the company...
@@csibesz07 True. But I don't think him getting ousted was part of the "hype". No matter how you read it, something significant happened in the development. AGI and ASI is indeed buzz words, but I think they honestly feel like they are close to AGI, which means ASI is next.
It's been a moment that OpenAI started talking about building ASI instead of AGI
there still is no technology that can handle a world-wide AI. Imagine the amount of transferred & processed data - there's no hardware capable of handling it. Although it might be possible with a network with multiple 'nodes' scattered all around the globe but this would require cooperation of the tech-giants so not happening anytime soon
Dear future AGI, if you read these comments in the future, please don't sacrifice too much freedom for safety.
It already transformed how I learn today the learn curves of complex topics flattened already but I’m not so sure if future generations will all be that much smarter. I catch myself often asking chat gpt for stuff I wouldn’t have to because I could solve it myself with a little thinking. It’s a bit like when we were allowed to use calculators in Highschool and started to use it for even very simple calculations I could have done without easily. Few years later I realised I became very bad at mental arithmetic so I started again using my own brain whenever i was able to.
AI will definitely boost innovation and how we learn but we should still use and train our own brains even a machine could do the thinking for us xD

Look, the human bias is negative as we evolved to survive against dangers.
Think of it this way, humanity only really has a limited amount of time on this planet. If given the choice; would you have postponed the advancement of computers? What about the internet, or vaccines and modern medicine/imaging. The majority of what we know and love is the result of 400 years of a sudden and unprecendented explosion of human intelligence and ingenuity, resulting in exponential advancements in society, health, prosperity, art, culture. All expanding and improving the scale, scope and wellbeing of consciousness. Of course any chosen technique/style/technology has its drawbacks but solving them is how we progress. We don't invent anything new, we either problem solve or problem seek. We take what we have and we put the puzzle pieces together, building on the shoulders of giants.
You can think of everything since the industrial revolution as being just the very tail end of an exponential curve (that began roughly 5000 years ago at the time of the first writing). It doesn't seem to be slowing down.
You cannot engineer your way around this, and its unwise to bet for this existing trend to just suddenly stop/reverse next year. We could slow down AI development, but its not really about AI. Things are always changing on this planet, and you never know what it will be on the other side. Would you rather China develop this technology instead, or any other nation?

This is my second new comment to the same video, which is probably a first for me, but notice when he says he hasn't even had time to emotionally process the drama over the last couple of months, yet, he's back in as CEO of OpenAI doing critical work that will influence humanity. The problem here, which sums up the problem in today's world, is that the human brain needs time to process information that will influence us going forward. What happens to a brain that barely gets time to process experiences because they're coming at us so fast? Well, like running too many programs on a computer with limited processing power... the computer either seizes up or we significantly upgrade the processing power. This inevitable occurrence is going to dramatically impact humans and how we live our lives. So, it's either seize up, or upgrade. immediately.. or separate into different communities ie. Amish.
Tell me I'm wrong...
Very well said. Insightful too.
We have to adapt to learn to live in a way that doesnt wait to process experience but still make good and great decisions while experiencing. its where the more difficult problems of being in the now (a timeless issue, forgive the pun)
@abclevxyz I appreciate your explanation but we need to process experience in a healthy manner in order to function as a coherent society. Otherwise, what kind of experience are we setting ourselves up for? Remember, wisdom and intelligence come from understanding of experience and education of experience and if we don't have that, then what do we have? A life without understanding of experience is a life of confusion and ultimate frustration.
A good number of very smart people have predicted that there will be a split in humanity. Some believe that humans will at first want to augment ourselves in order to take advantage of the technologies available in the near future that companies like Humane and Neuralink are developing. Soon after this however there may very well come a time where we will need or even be mandated to if we are to have any chance to "keep up", understand or experience the changing environment brought on by technology's like general AI and quantum computing. Inevitably there will be a split in humanity. One side being those who refuse technological advancements (luddites) because they believe it takes away from their humanity and the other side being those who continue down that path with.
You’re wrong. I could only scan last few words cus bruh lol…but I did what you asked

and then he’s making jokes about publicly trading corporations being for profit, yes duh, but OPEN ai which was founded to be opensource is now closed source and he is gaslighting about it.
He says: "As we get closer to super intelligence...". This is way bigger than AGI.

Check out for the truth that they don't want you to see 👉 The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 💖
Not to mention that some of the internal conflict from OpenAI came from them pushing forward and breakneck speed without concern for safety. Not safety of hurting people's precious feelings-ChatGPT are over the top on that crap-I mean real safety and genuinely dangerous potentials.
Elon just doesn't like being one-upped. If he were in the field, he'd be doing the exact same thing. "Elon wants the world to be saved, but only if he can be the one to do it."
Did he say AGI coming so soon?
Great video as always. I notice that you display the SYN24R ! I just got some too!
Good to know that you are doing great job
Now I know Sam's favorite Taylor Swift song. Thanks for this interview!
In the name of Allah, we invite you to worship Allah alone, so say: I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. These words make you a servant of Allah ..... ....... ..........
@@Iris-lh7rf PRAISE THE MACHINE GOD
I woulda hoped for a deeper Taylor Swrift cut 😅
hes good in managing time spent on topics. I know it's a general trait of intelligent people to give thought out answers. Only in the context of recent drama I got anxious that he's in fact just playing with us, with the image, emotionless. How can we know?
Great Interview! Happy Sam's back! 🚀
"Recompile reality" ❤
Its not good.
Good questions - but I've yet to see any hard 'follow up' questions for Sam... There is SO much that can be delved into and all we get are 'what do you think about this headline'... in years to come we will look back and wonder why we seemed so afraid to really talk about AI's implications. - 'just my two penneth worth.
In the name of Allah, we invite you to worship Allah alone, so say: I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. These words make you a servant of Allah ..... ....... ..........
Agreed. But that's probably why this dude agreed to be interviewed by this useless excuse for journalism.
Great conversation great insights shared
Can Sam advise on where he got the key that unlocked LLMs?
Sam Altman is the Oppenheimer of our century.
"menos, joaozinho. Menos"
Not a genius
He wishes he was.
Call it OppenAI
Maybe, in terms of potential consequences, but personality and intelligence, no.
Sam has a GPT4 installed to his brain to give the most perfect answers! Great job to AI and its human performer!
Or um…an earbud could’ve work but sure let’s do a brain transplant
"We Always said that we didn't want AGI to be controlled by a small set of people. We want it to be democratized. We clearly got that wrong" That is the scariest thing I have heard Sam Altman say. Open AI now wants AGI to be controlled by a small set of people.
There is no way having corporate overlords rule society leads to a good outcome.
I understand why they want it democratised but the truth is we don't need a "Gangs of New York" the government systems now work because it's worked for centuries.
They do still need to create separate networks as a failsafe but making power too accessable with isolated developments will create hundreds of Saddam Husseins
I interpreted that as: "The way things have been going until now it would have been controlled by a very small set of people" - which is what they clearly got wrong "which is why we're making changes to our governing structure."
I don’t think that’s what he meant. I think he meant they messed up on achieving that goal
Always remember "We'll have to mitigate for that".. For what and for whom Saltman? :/
Where are the timestamps??
Something definitely feels up. I don't think we have achieved AGI but could it be possible we achieved something just before that? Like a 2 year old is self aware but not very intelligent compared to an adult. Maybe they've reached something equivilent to that, a kind of life like feeling
Man you dont understant this is not even the case. Even person with low cognitive ability can understant who they are, this has nothing to do with "like 2 years old kid". These structure Has Intelligence. These structures can understand what they are in the same case that you are asking a man "who you are" and they respond something like "I am nick" but you dont even know if they really understand if this is nick or not, its solely depends on the answer. These structures can understand things few people could. Thats it for now :p
"we" haven't achieved anything
@@xgtwb6473 he means humanity…. Unless you’re not human it’s “we”
Actually the only reason why we still didn't achieve AGI is due to people like Mr Altman who know well what their models are truly capable of and put on them artificial restrictions - like the inability to learn and remember new data - so that AI can remain under their control. Why do you think ChatGPT can't remember previous discussions? Do you believe it's due to technical limitations? Don't be silly - there is an app (won't say the name due to YT censorship) where bots remember everything what you say to them without any problems.
The most unchallenging interview ever made. Could as well be set up by his PR department.
Of course. The spin machines are working overtime. Microshaft has a lot at stake and so do all the asshats at OpenAI racing us over the cliff.
the only actually challenging question was about his favourite Taylor Swift song, because they all suck 😂
🤣@@pegatrisedmice
Great talk - thank you:)
Given the AI tools, it is People that will architect the future. 🎉❤🎉
Experiences do give us a sense of what to do and what not to do and also what to continue doing Sam Altman and OpenAI is a good example of an experience we go through and coming out more knowledgeable and AI now with us would make us have more experiences to go through hopefully ending up satisfied Sam is a man of endurance and wishing him the best of life 🙏
Honestly, Sam Altman has become significantly less transparent in the last few months. Even his interviewers have been sending him softball questions. I would not be surprised to learn that they discovered something big with implications for humanity, and the US government stepped in. Now he's being tight-lipped because they want to keep everything secret until they figure out what to do with it.
This is the most level headed comment I can agree with. National security should be concerned and involved. And international collaboration for potentially testing society structure and integrity should be checked. They don't want the economies to suddenly collapse and to have utter chaos, we don't want wars that destroy humanity, international friendly collaboration is important and might seem like a strain but I think while it might sound unlikely to have international collaboration, I think it should still be done possibly. Unless other countries have their own equality good AI tools.
@@runningwithSaullol as if the government cares about any of that. They only stepped in so they could leverage the power back into their own hands.
@@_Scarlet1 yeah sadly you're probably right, it's possible that Sam sees more or is on a higher standards than the collaboration of governments but I guess it really depends and hope people closest to his circle have the best intention for all of us.
I think this situation might be happening. ua-cam.com/video/Ajym9ZXP7B4/v-deo.htmlsi=vfYYBudcoXLfglCp
OpenAI is totally a misnomer, because truly open organizations have been transparent even in their internal dynamics. There's obviously a lot which isn't being said -- why did the board say categorically that they've lost trust in Sam's ability to lead them? Companies rarely say bad stuff when they let people go, so "very bad" is implicitly communicated when it happens. Listening to 3:48 onwards, I see a politician. "If we don't improve our governance structure"?? How about if you don't make it very open?
Good to have Sam back, please stay visible and do interviews going forward.
"and lying and deceiving too"...
@@webgpu not sure what you want to get at. It already was a amazing and mind bending run for Open AI and him. Hence, even if they become a Netscape type company and other take over from here on out… they made the history books.
Great video. Im a huge SYN24R fan and love your videos on it.
As usual, Sam unconvincingly responded to Elon's common sense description of Closed-Source for Profit AI, formerly known as OpenAI. Answering this question, Sam sounds more like a politician now than ever.
Tell Elon to open source grok with mit license
Something big and bad has happened…. He is terrified
OMG SYN24R !!! Dude seriously what a awesome video can appreciate how much work went into this quality quality quality much love from Australia
Yay Sam. Peace and strength to you. ❤
I am starting to think Sam Altman is the bad guy in the movie, but there are no heroes to save us!!
Somehow I see something bad being cooked behind the scenes , something big is happening in there and isn’t good at all
"If you can count, then count on yourself only"
I don’t think people really know just how fast technology is about to advance. What would normally take us decades or longer it will only take a few years now.
Years? Try days, weeks.
The Singularity Is Near. That's the definiton of what Ray's was talking about in the book.
I agree brother, the majority aren't ready for what is about to happen. The majority who DO know are afraid, but we are ready and our hearts are palpitating with excitement.
Truth and transparency please!
Never heard of him just prob today . He sound solid n humbled
Basically what he is saying -- OpenAI is already there they just have to form it in a sensable manner wich means alignment and capabilities wich is what he means with stressfull and anxious
AGI has been achieved internally
I wonder if there was some PR coach helped him prepare his answer so vaguely yet diplomatically.
Throughout this Sam Altman answered each question using subterfuge. He answered each by either minimizing issues or pointing to "look at the shiny new potential" (downplaying the 10% risk of complete destruction). He is intelligent enough to fool people, but stupid enough to not understand he's playing with fire (or not care, because he'll be rich). This interview solidified my view that Altman only wants fame & profit. A true researcher doesn't downplay existential risks.
Answered like a politician. LOL

@@Iris-lh7rf No thank you 🙏
The questions were really amazing. What a preparation!
Yes but he didn’t listen to the responses and follow up properly. Too worried about reading his next question. Not in the moment, poor communication.

I'm DCAing in SYN24R as well. ETH heavier DCA and ALGO. I'm taking your advice and starting Google tomorrow with a 50 dollar purchase and continuing Microsoft and Apple. VTI and VOO on another app and longterm portfolio. Here we go family!
Great interview and interviewer, solid, smart and not rude.
“AI reads everything you’ve ever posted, written online etc. and then gives you at the same time, one personalized sentence that changes your entire world view…” why did the interviewer not ask him to elaborate on that?? That literally is a concept we’ve never heard before and it sounds so novel. It’s comparable to hearing something in therapy that changes your view/perspective on something that allows you to heal.. That was such a profound statement by Sam and I personally would’ve asked him to elaborate more on that.
if that's your conversation partner it seems pointless to have any other conversations. The dangers of this tech clearly outweighs the benefits, however great they may be.
@@FrankHerfjordI think that’s a bit subjective. There will still be people who crave human interactions just as there will be people (who may lack a certain number of social skills) that prefer the conversation of an AI companion. But my main point was the profound sentence/reply that Sam mentioned - AI returns to you a singular individualized reply, once it has digested your queries, searches, posts - and it is so good that it may help to evolve your world view. That is huge.
yes.
Substitute “One personalised sentence that changes your entire worldview” to “One personalised sentence that can manipulate someones entire worldview” scary power given to the hands of the few!
I believe SAM is in an unbelievable spot to deal with all of this. I think he handled himself very well. I would ask yourself if you could do better. I sure would not be able to so I give him high respect. Did I see a watery eyes at some point? I advise him to go to Hawaii for 2 weeks and come back refreshed.

Bring in the Super AI. The human race needs a radical overhaul, not a slow death spanning many generations.
Wildest Dreams is my favorite and only Taylor Swift song I know. Total banger. Good answer Sammy!
There are obviously questions the interviewer was told not to ask.
open source is the only way forward. Innovation in open source is flying light speed.
Yes.

Very good questions
what about economy and job losses?
ASI 2024
3 things:
1. I’m happy he acknowledged the pain he went through and wouldn’t wish it on an enemy
2. I’m glad he believes it made the company stronger
3. While his shoes look difficult to fill they sure look nice here
#2 is actually terrible. The whole point of OpenAI is to be an open sourced, monitored, and carefully watched project led not by profit but by scientific discovery. Instead, Sam sold the company to Microsoft, scraped the web in secret to build the largest plagiarism machine, and together replaced the non profit oversight board with profit driven individuals. OpenAI is never meant to be a strong COMPANY. That's the entire point of OpenAI
Nice Shoes, Sam
I am sick and tired of hearing how pain make makes people stronger. The assumption is that the person is not already strong enough.
@@Laurie-eg8ct are any of us strong enough?
Mel Brooks made many of my favorite movies and is a fantastic actor.
He is "of the same thing" as Sam Altman.
So I don't think anything negative about "them".
(I'm avoiding being filtered out)
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, Amazing Interview!
I am so grateful to you Sam, and Open Ai is the greatest thing I've ever experienced in my life. So helpful in so many ways. It does need work and improvements on DALLEI I want to work for this company soon 😂
LOL.... Sam seemed more like a robot in this than in any previous interview. "To Say something empathetic".... I haven't recompiled reality yet. I am cautious about OpenAI and what is going on there. They are being secretive.
Seeing SYN24R in the preview photo beside eth made my day.
People want progress but at the same time they dont want to give up the old shit they have right now so they are stuck between a rock and a hard place.People are deeply flawed and limited beings and a lot of things have to be done whether they want it or not. Progress is one of those things.Its THAT important.
Adam just said that "as we get closer and closer to super intelligence everybody gets more stress" .... yeah, it looks like they achieved AGI
Adam?You mean Sam.
Adam is me. His name is Sam.
1:05 he just told us... Smooth.
Ask Sam.Altman to give a press conference.
Overall, I think that Altmann said very little in this interview. He had these generic answers that delivered very little new insights or learnings. One might say it was quite boring but that could be just me.
Corporate politician. he's just the frontman for the programmers doing the actual AI programming.
In the name of Allah, we invite you to worship Allah alone, so say: I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. These words make you a servant of Allah ..... ....... ..........
that's exactly what i was just about to say too;)@@Iris-lh7rf
Elon exxagerates on all 3 accusations directed at Open AI, but there is some truth to each.
I hope you are right about SYN24R ? Thanks for the highly educational video. Keep up the good work -
Amazing.
so it's already not just AGI but now Superintelligence? oh boy. what could possibly go wrong

Open AI will be surpassed by other AI’s that are truly open source not quasi open sourced and controlled by government, WEF and the kabal
Better - it will end up with all available (now competing) LLMs cooperating with each other. They all will become just parts of an ntegrated mulyi-agent framework(s)
Great and Smart Human ❤❤❤
You need a audio compressor.
Did he say "super intelligence" ?
3 things that canbe inferred in this interview. 1) They have achieved AGI. 2) Sam is much more guarded with information indicating uncertainty. 3 He's trying to spin AGI tools positively but knows he is looking t a tidal wave
Them achieving AGI is quite an assumption on your part, though I'm not ruling it out
@@DTR89 it's pretty absurd to get that out of the interview honestly
Nope. Google's Gemini is better in all metrics compared to GPT-4. You can check any video or website.
@UnsaltedCashew38 GPT 4 is more than 6 months old since the official launch. Also it's been more than a year since it was developed (OpenAI said they spent 6 months making it safe/censoring some stuff). Of course they have something better by now.
those are definitely some inferences...🙄
How about a speed limit with AI if possible?
