Altman: "I think fusion is the future of energy" * literally 30 seconds later * "Someone is going to assassinate me because of ChatGPT"

[adammarshall]

Canada is developing mini reactors that can be changed out etc

[CADguru]

He's invested heavily into a fusion company. Not sure why he wasn't pushing that as the future, they've recently made huge strides into making fusion a viable clean energy source!

What engenders something to being utilized as a political tool in left vs right is directly correlated to how enigmatic it is to a common person who isn't an expert in it. This applies to literally any institution, entity, product, invention, event, or conflict. The more transparency that can be achieved for OpenAI and even Nuclear Fission, that is also easily accessible and referenced for the common person, the less capable those things are of being weaponized politically.

[KamalaChameleon]

I like this guy.. he seems so honest.. he hates ads.. he openly admits he's a target.. he answers questions without mulling.. lex seemed like he was very relaxed too

[jimrogers]

With AI, I think of the statement buried by author Michael Crichton in Jurassic Park… buried in a paragraph somewhere in the middle of the book is the statement, ‘just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should’. The creators of AI have become so wrapped up in the creation that they failed to consider the unintended consequences of it.

[netscrooge]

His comment about fission might be the most important of all. Improving and expanding fission is important. And I'm a tree hugger!

[wdyblack]

plot twist - Sam is shot by a chat-gpt enabled robot. probably after misunderstanding a simple command

[SvenReinck]

If people knew the odds of dying in a car accident, nobody would step outside.

[heatherbuchowiecki]

😂 what did i just watch. 😢 so many thoughts. Be safe, Mr. Altman.

[calvingrondahl]

That last idea is right on… we are emotionally triggered. Mr. Spock logic is rare. 🖖

[winganprojectpodcast]

The truth doesn’t only matter, it’s difficult to determine what the truth is, with an absolute certainty, as the truth is like layers of a cake full of ingredients, that people perspective take and personalise the truth independently and then respond to their own version of what the truth is. This is where I believe AI will help people develop patience with being able to sustain themselves using resilience, because their interest will be in the collective mind of the absolute truth and how this effects us all individually, but the absolute truth effects us all collectively, because you assemble the truth within different levels of meaning, not just assigned towards your version, because then you understand what you want to believe, but what assume to all of us in different meanings that allows to evaluate all different meanings is why you believe in your version of the truth.

[itsmedeka]

Sam Altman is a member of the WEF, that is all you need to know.

[captainskylight]

I don’t know what the percentage chance is that I eventually get shot but it’s not zero…. 🤔

This is literally true for everybody

[ah]

why does he know and talk to Sam like he is an alien

[hcbyethelake]

Its not just something happening at the plants its also the waste and what they do with it and store it.

[springwoodcottage]

Light weight performance. Blaming nuclear powers decline on fear misses the point that it is extremely expensive compared to renewables, slow to build, centuries for waste to be safe & at its core is just making heat for a steam turbine. 70 years ago it was a great idea, now it belongs in museums.

[BennyOcean]

The vocal fry makes him really difficult to listen to.

[sacrificesacrifice]

This is the guy who you shouldn’t trust handling technology
