A profile of Sam Altman, who says “we basically have built AGI, or very close to it” before dialing back his claim to “a spiritual statement, not a literal one”
As CEO of OpenAI, the 40-year-old billionaire unleashed ChatGPT, mainstreaming artificial intelligence and creating a $500 billion behemoth.
remember, Microsoft gets all the OpenAI models for free until they actually count as AGI, so Altman has a huge incentive to believe he's built AGI so Microsoft stops getting to compete with OpenAI quite so easily [embedded post]
NEW: We profiled Sam Altman for the cover of Forbes Magazine. For the story, we talked to Bob Iger, Masa Son, Satya Nadella, Brian Chesky, Paul Graham and more. Graham's take was resonant: “He's good at getting people to do what he wants.” w/ @annatonger https://www.forbes.com/..…
