OpenAI's Focus on AGI

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman discusses the company's ongoing commitment to developing artificial general intelligence (AGI), contrasting it with the concept of superintelligence. In a recent interview, he expressed frustration over being fired by the board and reflected on the founding principles of OpenAI, emphasizing its focus on creating AI that can generate its own ideas. Altman revealed that the company is currently losing money on its ChatGPT Pro subscription service due to higher-than-expected user engagement, indicating an unexpected success in their offerings.
