I mean, maybe it says, like, you know, you want to know the answer to this question about physics? I need you to, like, build this machine and make these five measurements and tell me that.

I'll just be very honest with this answer. I was going to say, and I still believe this, that it is important that I nor any other one person have total control over OpenAI or over AGI. And I think you want a robust governance system. I can point out a whole bunch of things about all of our board drama from last year.

about how I didn't fight it initially and was just like, yeah, that's the will of the board, even though I think it's a really bad decision. And then later I clearly did fight it and I can explain the nuance and why I think it was okay for me to fight it later.

I continue to not want super voting control over OpenAI. I never have, never had it, never wanted it.

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

I continue to think that no company should be making these decisions and that we really need governments to put rules of the road in place and I realize that that means people like Mark Andreessen or whatever will claim I'm going for regulatory capture and I'm just willing to be misunderstood there it's not true and I think in the fullness of time it'll get proven out why this is important but

And I am proud of the track record overall, but I don't think any one person should. And I don't think any one person will. I think it's just like too big of a thing now and it's happening throughout society in a good and healthy way. But I don't think any one person should be in control of an AGI or this whole movement towards AGI.
