#419 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI, GPT-5, Sora, Board Saga, Elon Musk, Ilya, Power & AGI

Actually, I think ChatGPT is that for some use cases and hopefully we'll make it be like that for a lot more use cases. But I don't think it's that interesting to say, like, how do we go do a better job of giving you, like, 10 ranked web pages to look at than what Google does. Maybe it's really interesting to go say, how do we help you get the answer or the information you need?

How do we help create that in some cases, synthesize that in others, or point you to it in yet others? A lot of people have tried to just make a better search engine than Google. And it is a hard technical problem. It is a hard branding problem. It's a hard ecosystem problem. I don't think the world needs another copy of Google.

As you might guess, we are interested in how to do that well. That would be an example of a cool thing. How to do that well. Like a heterogeneous, like integrating. The intersection of LLMs plus search. I don't think anyone has cracked the code on yet. I would love to go do that.

You know, I kind of hate ads just as like an aesthetic choice. I think ads needed to happen on the internet for a bunch of reasons to get it going. But it's a more mature industry. The world is richer now. I like that people pay for chat GPT and know that the answers they're getting are not influenced by advertisers. There is, I'm sure, there's an ad unit that makes sense for

lms and i'm sure there's a way to like participate in the transaction stream in an unbiased way that is okay to do but it's also easy to think about like the dystopic visions of the future where you ask chat gbt something and it says oh here's you know you should think about buying this product or you should think about you know this going here for your vacation or whatever and i don't know like

Like I know I'm paying and that's how the business model works. And when I go use like Twitter or Facebook or Google or any other great product, but ad supported great product, I don't love that. And I think it gets worse, not better in a world with AI.

But it looks like we're going to figure that out. If the question is, do I think we can have a great business that pays for our compute needs without ads, that I think the answer is yes.
