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

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.

I mean, again, people define AGI all sorts of different ways. So maybe you have a different definition than I do.

I think when a system can significantly increase the rate of scientific discovery in the world, that's like a huge deal. I believe that most real economic growth comes from scientific and technological progress.

I mean, definitely the researchers here will do that before I do. But what will I, I've actually thought a lot about this question. If I were, someone was like, I think this is, as we talked about, I think this is a bad framework, but if someone were like, okay, Sam, we're finished. Here's a laptop. This is the AGI.

I find it surprisingly difficult to say what I would ask that I would expect that first AGI to be able to answer. Like that first one is not going to be the one which is like go like, You know, I don't think like go explain to me like the grand unified theory of physics, the theory of everything for physics. I'd love to ask that question. I'd love to know the answer to that question.

Yeah, I mean, well, so I don't expect that this first AGI could answer any of those questions, even as yes or no. But if it could, those would be very high on my list.
