If he says GTP one more time, i will smash my keyboard.

[gauravhbti]

My heart was crying to death, every time, he was saying GTP, and huge respect for Sam being so humble where he didn’t correct him once.

I loved GCP 3, but GPP 4 is when I realized our world is about to change dramatically. I cant wait for GTP 5 incremental upgrades, and I am sure we will figure out how to address safety precautions before GHP 6+ is here.

Even thought I've seen Sam on a dozen interviews now, and a lot is being repeated, I still watch, just for some small tidbits, and because it's fun to constantly hear. This explosion in AI has really excited me as a person. I'm diving into so many creative things, as well as help with my analytically challenged brain.

Tobi, your interviewing skills here are 🤯 fantastic. Thanks for helping to "prompt" such a beautiful conversation packed with new insights.

This is the first interview that has given me true optimism. I’m not saying it’ll last but it’s definitely something. Cheers for this video.

Its really a stepping-stone for those with dyslexia and dysgraphia like me. A powerful tool for use and other generative AIs. It will be an opportunity for many humans with disabilities or other disorders...

Thank you much! Just thank you for such great content produced. Altman is incessantly sincere, genuine, and great to listen on talking up AI.

[RajasKharkar]

Saying GTP in front of their CEO is such a flex

17:29 Correction for whoever placed the captions: "augmentation", not "documentation". Talking about "AI": even automatic CC gets it right ¬¬

How many human beings can have millions of high quality conversations simultaneously? GPT-4 is already massively super capable at above average human intelligence with perfect recall.

Congratulations, Sam Altman. I am proud you and your passion according to technology, and you will always be transparent... networking

Generative Transformers Pretrained technology is clearly changing what I thought of AI initially.

[MoFields]

Sam is really amazing and down to earth and humble and polite. And goes without saying intelligent and a great leader!

[shubhamjain]

It seems he is curious, compassionate, and has a high focus(meaning, the flow of time is slow for him).

[righttiming]

Imagine if every interview was two legends interviewing each other instead of a huge imbalance of knowledge in domain

[MrSuriyam]

I'm just afraid that increased efficiency under capitalism won't lead to abundance, but more hoarding and disparity. Companies would be able to choose between producing more/lowering prices and just reducing costs. Buying power will diminish and shift upwards, towards high-end goods. Basically the opposite of the promise, a dystopia. Not sure what will they choose but I feel like the current system rewards greed, until everything grinds down. Also reducing costs is the easier path.

Great interview. Excellent questions by the moderator. Keep up the good work!

[fragjijreiosgeriota]

Wow the always exciting Sam Altman! Let’s give him a roaring applause…
