  Interesting @sama interview with @lexfridman. Highlights: - “We will release an amazing new model this year, I don't know what we'll call it,” Altman says - Not ready to talk about Q* - Some regret about using ‘Open’ in OpenAI name - Open, in context, now means free & public

  RE the Musk lawsuit, Sam says he would pick a different name if he were starting over. He says that the “Open” in OpenAI means putting stuff in people's hands for free, pointing to the lack of ads and other efforts to monetize the free version of ChatGPT. (This echoes Ilya's 2016…

  Lex is right, Sam was wrong. Our research shows that people don't really check the work of AIs, once those AIs cross a certain threshold of quality. We found that consultants, for example, “fell asleep at the wheel” and did not look for AI errors. Training didn't help, either. [i…

  Sam Altman during the new Lex Fridman interview: Lex: Can you speak to what Qstar is? Sam: We are not ready to talk about that Lex: An answer like that means there is something to talk about... Qstar is here, they just don't think the public is ready for the impact....

  Also, @sama on strong feelings about AI: “I don't know what the chance is that I eventually get shot but it's not zero.”

  “Fundamentally, these models are just getting better, and that will keep happening.”

• @andrewcurran_ Andrew Curran on x

  Sam Altman during the new Lex interview: 'We will release an amazing model this year. I don't know what we will call it. We will release, over the coming months, *many* different things. Before we talk about GPT5, we have a lot of other important things to release first.'

  Interesting quote from the Sam Altman / Lex interview that just came out: Sam: “I think compute is going to be the currency of the future. I think it will be maybe the most precious commodity in the world.”
