I mean, Helen Toner has elaborated. Have you seen anything like this in your career?

So on to the AI hype in general. Said that a bit weird, but I'll keep going. Why do you think there's such a gulf between what Sam Altman says and what ChatGPT can actually do?

As in he says it will be a super smart companion.

That he'll be all of these things.

It's driving a lot of work, sure. But with Altman himself, there is this gulf. It is a million mile gulf between the things he says and what ChatGPT is even on the most basic level capable of doing and will be capable. And it just feels like, it almost feels like he's become the propagandist for the tech industry.

And it's very strange to me how far that distance is because you've got the AI Doomers and the AI Optimist, I guess you'd call them. But Altman doesn't even feel like he's in with either. He's just kind of, he'll say one day that he doesn't think it's a creature. The next one he'll say it's going to kill us all. It all just feels like a PR campaign, but for nothing.

So... As Altman accumulates power, and as he ascends to the top of OpenAI, do you think he's done there? Do you think there's going to be another thing he starts? Because it feels like you've discussed UBI and all these other things. Do you think he has grander ideas that he wants to pursue?
