📱 Sam Altman: "The Conflict with Elon Musk Makes Me Tremendously Sad"
In a recent interview with The New York Times, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman spoke candidly about his conflict with Elon Musk, whose legal battle with OpenAI has been going on for nearly a year, the tensions with Microsoft, OpenAI's main investor, and his concerns about the world after the arrival of artificial superintelligence.
Highlights:
➡️ About Musk. I grew up with Elon as like a mega hero. I thought what Elon was doing was absolutely incredible for the world, and I'm still glad he exists. We started OpenAI together, and then, at some point, he totally lost faith in OpenAI and decided to go his own way. He's a competitor. And that's sad to see.
➡️ About Musk's relationship with Trump. I believe strongly that Elon will do the right thing and that it would be profoundly un-American to use political power to the degree that Elon has it to hurt your competitors and advantage your own businesses. And I don't think people would tolerate that. I don't think Elon would do it.
➡️ About the tension with Microsoft. I don't think we're disentangling. I will not pretend that there are no misalignments or challenges. We need lots of compute, more than we projected. And that has just been an unusual thing in the history of business, to scale that quickly. And there's been tension on that.
➡️ About Strong Artificial Intelligence (AGI). The point at which artificial intelligence can do almost anything a human brain can do will arrive sooner than most people think. Still, many safety concerns don't come at the AGI moment. AGI can be built, but the world mostly goes the same way. The economy moves faster, and things grow faster, but maybe not in the first few years. And I do not believe in no work—I think we'll always find things to do.
➡️ True superintelligence (ASI), the system that is smarter than all of us put together—even if we can make that technically safe, which I assume we'll figure out, we will have some faith in our governments. There will have to be global coordination, which seems challenging.
➡️ About Copyright. We do need a new deal, standard protocol, for how creators are going to get rewarded. For example, micropayments if you generate a story in the style of a particular writer.
