We will return to work on developing robots. We will not turn ourselves into robots, of course.

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

I used to love to speculate on that question. I have realized since that I think it's very poorly formed and that people use extremely different definitions for what AGI is. And so I think it makes more sense to talk about when we'll build systems that can do capability X or Y or Z rather than, you know, when we kind of like fuzzily cross this one mile marker.

It's not like, like AGI is also not an ending. It's much more of a, it's closer to a beginning, but it's much more of a mile marker than either of those things. And, but what I would say in the interest of not trying to dodge a question is

If we could look at it now, you know, maybe we've adjusted by the time we get there.

Yeah, but I don't think 3-5 changed the world. it maybe changed the world's expectations for the future. And that's actually really important. And it did kind of like get more people to take this seriously and put us on this new trajectory. And that's really important too. So again, I don't want to undersell it.

I think it like I could retire after that accomplishment and be pretty happy with my career, but as an artifact, I don't think we're gonna look back at that and say that was a threshold that really changed the world itself.

Like, does the global economy feel any different to you now or materially different to you now than it did before we launched GPT-4? I think you would say no.
