On with Cara Swisher is a weekly look at what's going on in the world of tech. This week, Sam Altman talks about his new role as CEO of Polestar. The electric car company has designed an all-wheel drive vehicle that can go from 0 to 60 in less than four seconds. He also discusses how he reinvigorated Y Combinator by taking on more ambitious projects like open AI and chat.
We’re on the cusp of an artificial intelligence arms race that has venture capitalists drooling, regulators petrified and competitors from Google to Microsoft to Elon Musk racing to get their products out the door. Kara talks to Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI and the man who’s led the launches of ChatGPT and GPT-4. They discuss the hallucinations of ChatGPT+, why Open AI moved from an open-source nonprofit to a closed-source “capped profit” company and why Altman doesn’t believe artificial intelligence developers should enjoy Section 230 immunity. Afterwards, Kara and Nayeema break down the interview and the promises and perils of an unknowable A.I.-powered future.
