I totally agree with Sam about the importance of determination in a founder. It's so easy to give up when things go wrong, but it takes true grit to keep pushing forward and find a way to overcome the challenges. And I think it's really cool that YC is looking for founders who have that quality, rather than just focusing on the idea or the network. As for independent thought, I think that's also really important. It can be tough to break out of the mold and think for yourself, especially when there are so many social pressures pushing you in certain directions. But I think it's important for entrepreneurs to be able to see things in a different way and come up with innovative ideas that nobody else has thought of. Overall, I think these are some great insights into what it takes to succeed as an entrepreneur, and I'm excited to see what kind of companies YC will fund in the future
Just a reminder that even the smartest minds can ask thoughtless questions, derailing the entire convo & thus changing the trajectory of what could have been the most informative talks. I understand how important politics is, but I’d rather hear how to deliver ground breaking tech in a competitive space. Really didn’t extract the true value out of Sam.
You should do this exact same talk (same questions) with Altman, in 2022, after 2 years of Covid, after 1 year of Jan 06 Capitol attack and after 1 year of Joe Biden...some of his 2017 answers are prescient (UBI) and others are off-base or not discussed at all (global warming).
33:00 what government regulations? if anything more regulations are needed: huge companies are buying up all the housing. If they mean removing NIMBY regulations then yeah that should be removed
I learn something every time I listen to Sam. He is razor-sharp. But still the great Sam got Bitcoin wrong. It was a disastrous store of value, anything but digital gold.
Sam Altman is really very intelligent, new technologies gave him a chance, I believe that Americans who have studied tirelessly are the smartest in the world and the most handsome too,haha
Thank You Sam and teams for Chat GPT4. Thank you Google for Bard. It is a blast. Thank you Microsoft. Yours is very thorough, but, it appears to be emotional and self-protective and very secretive. We shall see😁.
❤️ you got to live only once , so do things u would love to do n personally fulfilling , spend time with people who you care for . Guiding framework for life : Impact maximisation/ regret minimization Spend a lil bit of your effort doing a lot of things and relentlessly prune down to things u like and seems to be working
"world keeps getting better we keep getting unhappyer". Its probably just that problems are payed attention to that where previously ignored/public perception calmed with lies/"putting under the rug" Dont think so all metrics increase with increasing gdp per capita and individuals being better of because more ressources
I don't quite get the point on diversity, what would be the benefit of choosing employers based on their gender and skin colour? I don't understand how that is important or relevant? Would you not hire based on ability or track record? Maybe someone from USA could fill me in. Thanks!
well, it's because we have a lot of insincere people who are really concerned about what others think of them, so they've all competitively circle-jerked each other into seeing your allegiance to these arbitrary set of values as some form of currency. so you'll see a lot us feigning outrage at some conjured injustice that we don't really care about, or at times we'll seem to be inanely obsessed with the topic. you notice they don't really seem to care about diversity of thought so much, but making sure we've collected all the different skintones and genital types is SUPER important.
@@onseayu creating quotas for traditionally under represented minorities will help encourage them to join the field more. This allows the pool of talent that companies can hire from larger. Another way to think about it is that it's an attempt to offsett the affects of years of oppression that made certain minorities less skillful or engaged in those fields.
@@chhimi4025 right, at the cost of people who are completely innocent. great system. maybe we should look into everyone's history and punish them for the their ancestor's actions. and let's just assume that everyone with a certain skintone has the exact same history. nevermind reality. this is, even on its face, incredibly stupid.
@@chhimi4025 oh, and racist. i forgot to mention that. it's incredibly racist. but i'm sure you all are fine with that. whatever gets you more virtual virtue rght?
I like Sam but he won't be so popular when his comments about Silicon Valley reach the public. But....he is right in his assessment of SV. It's days are numbered!!
if you don't completely agree with the cult? then obviously, no, no you're not and you deserve to be rounded up with the rest of your kind and sent to a re-education camp.

This comment is useless. Should be pushed to the bottom. Zero insights.
They are topical tags
Not "notes" as you described them...if you have insightful notes, please mark accordingly.
I could listen to Sam talk all day. He’s a good teacher.
the guy is slowly becoming one of the most important person of our age.
lets hope ai is all good and safe i hope he doesn't become some sort of oppenheimer where he ends up regretting his decisions
Elon time is over Now Sam is The Captain
@@RandomEcom No
I think that's demis hassabis
Slowly? :P
Who knew we will be looking back at time and watch this video? Phenomenal session.
If google had started invested in him at the time...
He joined OpenAi later. So technically he was not a cofounder
Really great job interviewing, Jorge!
sam is so amazing, just the right person to lead it, so smart, compassionate, sharp and ambitious

Sam Altman is soon becoming a legend
I would love to hear a conversation with Demis Hassabis and Sam Altman.
Thank you for making this video and series. It is particularly informative.
Quite interesting! And considering that this was 6 years ago, even more so! Such profound and current reflections from Altman back then.
Adore you Sam!
Sam Altman is the Man. Big Brained. 🤖🖤💚📈🇺🇸
Interesting. Thanks for the UA-cam recommend engine.
Excellent discussion 🥇
Sam Altman is one smart dude
Great interview questions and really good answers. Nice job.
Highly valuable content and insights, thanks Sam! ❤️
JOOLEAN get a life. there are zero insights here. he's pathetic.
Sam Altman is the God of AI...
🙏
13:40 being really determined
Wow, he was even right about nuclear fusion, it happened 5 years later
Sam Altman = the nicest guy in Silicon Valley
Evan, go away. you don't know him. he's ruthless.
Rubbish. If you're an investor & entrepreneur...you need to be. Otherwise, you'll get eaten alive by others.
So true!
Hell nah
LMAO (after Open AI blew up)
He mentions the UBI experiment was 8 months into a 5 year project… it’s been 4 years since this was uploaded 🤨
This is really helpful. Thanks. 🙏🏻
Wow. Retro Sam!
Sam Altman is one of the nicest guy i have heard speak on UA-cam
Сам я сегодня была в Краснодаре там уже тепло и цветы цветут травка зацвела❤❤
Thanks for sharing valuable content full of insightful thoughts and wisdom!
haha if he's going to give a talk, don't wear a top so you dress like a homeless person lol
He should run for president in the US period

What’s the fusion company he mentions? Helion or something?
Love Sam! Great talk. Turning down most (free) partnership proposals - 99.999% secret to sustaining and eliminating time waste/frustration.
It is interesting how now he is fighting against google now
I dont think so
He is just creating creating base for the AI.
Its just beginning
That time who knows he will become CEO of Open AI and Compete with Google 😂
Wasn't he ceo of openai by that time
You the best sam
33:00 what government regulations? if anything more regulations are needed: huge companies are buying up all the housing. If they mean removing NIMBY regulations then yeah that should be removed

Sam looks like Richard Hendricks from Silicon Valley
He talks a bit like him too, when he pauses, use fillers, and other verbal ticks
He was doing open source before OPenAI..Seems to be using the successfully
Sam altman is super hero...🦾🤖.
Thank you

First and last time Google called him for talk. 🗿
Interesting what he said about productivity, spend more time doing the things you should, and think less about how efficiently you are doing them..

So you just started investing huh, "Michael Stark Investing"

everyone ends up believing in either god, the simulation hypothesis, or the weirdness of physics.

Sam Altman is awesome
Smart.

I like Sam but he won't be so popular when his comments about Silicon Valley reach the public. But....he is right in his assessment of SV. It's days are numbered!!
bro was recruiting 🤣
hi
Interesting answers to simple-minded questions.
Hay sam Altman how can I have my 50000 dollars job now sand the address righ now in my phone
check yo privilege sam 😅
Lol.. Sounds ironic aftrr the.whole ai war
This is the worst Sam Altman speech I have seen. His bashing of Trump is so wrong. It questions how strong and smart he is.
So people can't voice their political opinions now? Your take is super flawed.
Is this guy really trying to say AI will solve poverty? He really doesn’t understand the world he lives is
k this guy said creative jobs are easy... so then why do you dress like a four year old?
So I'm not a smart reasonable person?
No
You're dude use u intelligence for good 🤙
if you don't completely agree with the cult? then obviously, no, no you're not and you deserve to be rounded up with the rest of your kind and sent to a re-education camp.
not into the woke stuff he says
He's just saying there an even playing field. It's not that woke.
Hey Sam, say something public, original and interesting. I dare you.
Wow, butt hurt much?
