10. Sam Altman is Back: What is Going on at OpenAI with Dov Goldschmidt

There is no denying that change is the ultimate dictator of what we conceive of the present days. These changes or innovations include Artificial Intelligence, but how far will it take us to a better generation in the world of politics?

 

In this episode, Dov Goldschmidt, owner of Stratford Assets, a real estate management company, and a political commentator discusses Sam Altman's role at OpenAI, highlighting his recent controversy, and explores AI's societal impact, including Elon Musk's concerns. He touches on the possibility of AI generating images related to the Israel-Hamas conflict.

 

He raises concerns about the prevalence of alternative facts and the absence of verification in social media, emphasizing how this weakens the reliability of information. AI's capacity to manipulate information, tailoring it to individuals' preferences, is highlighted as a potential threat to relationships. The ethics of AI company CEOs, such as Sam Altman, participating in AI regulation discussions is debated. While Silicon Valley has historically aimed for a balance between profit and social good, worries persist about their influence on regulatory processes.

 

Dov underscores the necessity for regulations to keep pace with technological progress, citing Uber as an illustrative case. Dov acknowledges the complexity of grasping AI's potential dangers, requiring substantial expertise. There is concern about AI's societal impact and the challenges in predicting its effects due to its monumental nature. Sam Altman's removal from OpenAI's board sparks speculation about his plans and potential negotiations with Microsoft, generating substantial employee support. He also examines the shortcomings of the quasi-for-profit, non-profit model, pondering whether companies should prioritize profit maximization or if regulation falls within the government's purview. Microsoft earns praise for strategic moves in AI, contrasting with other players like Zoom diversifying generative AI sources. 

 

We also talked about Nvidia's growing profits from AI model chips, drawing parallels to early internet wave winners. Speculation arises about a predicted but unrealized major recession, prompting discussions on inflation, monetary policy, and fiscal policy. There is also an impact of rising rates on industries like tech and real estate, foreseeing stock declines, and decreased real estate values. Despite these challenges, the overall economy is currently strong, with low unemployment rates.
