There seem to be two caricatures of you. One that I've seen in the press is a boyish genius who will help defeat Google and usher in utopia. The other is that you're in irresponsible woke. Tech overlord Icarus that will lead us to our demise. We're not either of those characters, so describe what you are. Sam Altman: "I think I am doing the most amazing thing I can imagine"
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.
