Sam Altman talks consumer tech.

Turmoil at OpenAI: what’s next for the creator of ChatGPT? See all Stories K Sam Altman talks consumer tech. I listen to a lot of podcasts as an AI reporter since these CEOs seem to really love a hot mic and a sympathetic ear. I just listened to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s interview with Stratechery’s Ben Thompson and found it especially illuminating — he hints at de-hyping AGI, how SOTA models are less important than the “1-billion daily active user destination site,” and more. “Well, this was AI for many, many years. AI was always what we couldn’t do. As soon as we could do it, it’s machine learning. And as soon as you didn’t notice it, it was an algorithm,” Ben Thompson said.
