At 83 years old I suddenly have an intense reason to live for another 10 years (and to avoid doubt, it's to watch the developments of this amazing technology).

[Paretozen]

In my near 37 years of walking this earth with a curious mind; from exploring the library in my primary school, to receiving my first encyclopedia in hardcover, to the first CD version of Encarta '95, and all the subsequent developments in information access... I can say with full conviction that nothing has revolutionized my thirst for knowledge more than ChatGPT has. It truly is as being reborn, I have no other way to describe it. It is such a pleasure to revisit old topics, and new topics alike, with ChatGPT in hand. Bravo!

Innovation is easier with small teams making decisive, concentrated bets, who don't tolerate mediocre performers. That's it.

It’s crazy how times change
Sam’s out. Feels like the moment when jobs got fired from Apple

Am I wrong here? I can easily visualize this scenario; An AI yoga instructor bot, having closely observed say 100 highly rated yoga instructors, and observed their classes and their students' biometrics and progress, takes over as becoming your personal, and personalized, funny, patient, and apparently compassionate yoga teacher. Everyone is saying that "new jobs will be created" but nobody is saying exactly what we will be able to do better than the bots.

[reetchow]

The fact that both the audience questions were better than any question the actual interviewer asked is a shame 🤦‍♂

[maxziebell]

Thank you for the upload! After already seeing the juicy excerpts, I can't wait to watch the entire thing.

[GlennGaasland]

I wish the interviewers for these events would prepare better and ask some new questions, instead of only asking questions that have been asked and answered many times before. This would economize everyone’s time. Here is a great question she could have asked:

“Is there a process for creating totally new data, which may be even better than existing data on the internet, to train future models?”

[keep-ukraine-free]

The last question @43:15 was the most important - about the need for society (all members of our collective human society) to discuss the oncoming tsunami of extremely rapid job transformations, elimination of industries, needs/costs/timelines for retraining for nearly every field, etc. The question recognizes the challenges & risks for every society, at every worker/employee-level. I found Mira's answer silly. I found Sam's response also ignored the key issue raised -- why aren't AI firms guiding society & govts to compel us to discuss this.

AGI and later ASI can fracture parts of our lives. Yet many "brilliant" AI leaders either can't fathom or downplay its many serious risks.

[Jonesmatsunaga]

I've been following the advancements in AI closely, especially with ChatGPT. It's fascinating to see where this technology is headed.

[notapplicableu]

Sam Altman is friggin awesome! You can tell he processes every question posed to him with a very high degree of calm rationality and the utmost respect to the person who is doing the asking even when the questions themselves are questionable and barbed.

[xiaoxiaoli]

The final question is really great and Mira and Sam's answers are really great. Thank you Mariana Michael(hope I'm getting the name correctly) for bringing the discussion for everyone!

[daylanization]

I'm relieved every time I hear an interview with Sam. I'm hoping that many others at OpenAI have a similarly strong moral grounding. I don't mind paying for ChatGPT because OpenAI seems to be taking things in a very responsible direction.

[xavier_lucas]

I’m opportuned to have guidance and supervision from some of Wall Street’s eyes and ears. This is an exciting time of year after a tough one all round. I made a significant profit with my MSFT holdings recently and have drawn almost 100k for the holidays.

[LjiljanaGrujicic]

Also, ‘capability vector’ and ‘multi-modality’ … 🎨📸🎧🎙️… I’ve been mesmerized by the app integration of Dalle-3 and voice chat 💬 .

[lloydemokpae]

I'm curious to hear more on Sam's thoughts on new devices that AGI or GPT can enable.

[cguser]

Very thoughtful conversation about future of AI and future of humanity. Let us see what will happen in the next 10 years. Hope to see this same interview again if WSJ journalist, Joanna, OpenAI CEO, Sam and others, and this streaming platform YouTube still be around.

[hallockstuart]

The questions are very blah. The WSJ should hire an interviewer with more critical questions that has some technical insight, not asking for a PhD in computer science but some basic level of competence would be good.

[garyb.]

Beautiful location to shoot the video. I’ve been seeing a number of potential battery alternatives here on YouTube. These days with the exponential pace of technological advances, it feels like there’s always something around the corner.

[KrisTC]

Thanks for the family plan question! I definitely want that
