A remarkably concise interview, delivered with a staccato precision that gets straight to the essential points.

Best podcast on you tube, no nonsense, to the point, the moderator doesn't allow interviwee to digress from topic.great and awesome

[Brisius]

You asked such great questions. This was an insightful interview. Sam's confidence on achieving AGI is astonishing. Also I never thought of how AGI should be actually distributed among countries. So thanks for bringing up that part up from Sam. Will think more about that.

[michaelmacfarlane]

Great interview Nicolai. I really enjoyed the way you let your guest speak without interrupting him. I saw you in a podcast last week and I have been hooked ever since. Keep up the great work, and greetings from Kristiansand!

[aaronschweidler]

How does this have so few views? At first I was checking to make sure it wasn't an AI-generated Sam.

[acurti]

This is one of the best interviewers I've ever seen. Thanks for such straight and insightful questions.

[stoic_adhd]

Norges probably own %1-3 of google. I think it is time for youtube to do a favour to major stakeholder and make this channel promoted way more free of charge just because Nicolai is doing real community work with his interviews.

Awesome as usual

[gbssinc]

Very well done. Great questions and even after so many interviews done by Sam Altman there was some nice bits of information here .

More investment managers like you should do more podcasts and ask questions that matter

[momenstaj]

The book that Sam recommended is
"The Beginning of Infinity" by David Deutsch

[coding]

These are really good questions. It's a breath of fresh air and wish other interviewers had a similar line of questioning.

[Redrumo]

Host does an amazing job to draw out the truth from the interviewee. Really insightful and amazing to watch. I’ve watched 3 interviews of Sam and finally get a sense of who he is.

[AndreiLop]

Several super useful insights. About research in Silicon Valley. About decision making. About Sam “super powers”. About what he reads. Loved his thoughts about fusion

[kylewollman]

I read the Beginning of Infinity by David Deutsch while traveling around New Zealand and it inspired me to pursue a CS degree and become a software engineer. Great book!

[BernhardKohli]

Best use of time: listen to this excellent conversation. To see someone so smart be so humble it's inspiring. Sam reminds me a lot of Bill Gates. AGI and Fusion -- > UBI? Only if we force governments to invest taxes instead of SPENDING them. Fusion will be invented long before that happens, I fear! 😅

[johnslavin]

Great interview, inspirational.
David Deutsch - I started typing 'D" in search and the AI in my phone filled in his name. I was thinking that he is the author of 'The Beginning of Infinity". The AI in this phone is pretty smart. Just the letter 'D" provided the answer to the question I hadn't yet asked in response to dialogue in the video

[RickeyBowers]

The least deflection of any Altman interview I've seen - well done.

[jhoncharlesdf.]

A nice and serius interview with the tematic and features onboard, where Sam Altman was thinking many times long to give a response!!😮

48:00 "It's the most inspiring... You can do anything, you can solve any problem, and it's important to go and do that." >
That's _exactly_ the point of Yudkowsky's HPMOR! So many people brush it off as "another Harry Potter fanfiction for girls", but honestly, I saw in it the Faustian Spirit of Yuri Gagarin. These people chosen as AI company CEOs seem like a cool bunch, even though ideologically we may be different. - Adûnâi
