#367 – Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

And there's, you know, different ways to accomplish that.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 – Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

You can bump up the clock speed.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 – Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

Sometimes that causes other problems.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 – Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

Sometimes it's not the best way to get gains.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 – Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

Um,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 – Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

But I think what matters is getting the best performance.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 – Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

And, you know, we, I think one thing that works well about OpenAI is we're pretty truth-seeking in just doing whatever is going to make the best performance, whether or not it's the most elegant solution.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 – Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

So I think like,

#367 – Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

LLMs are a sort of hated result in parts of the field.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 – Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

Everybody wanted to come up with a more elegant way to get to generalized intelligence.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 – Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

And we have been willing to just keep doing what works and looks like it'll keep working.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 – Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

I think it's part of the way.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 – Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

I think we need other super important things.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 – Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

But I wouldn't say any of this stuff with certainty, like we're deep into the unknown here.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 – Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

For me, a system that cannot go significantly add to the sum total of scientific knowledge we have access to, kind of discover, invent, whatever you want to call it, new fundamental science, is not a superintelligence.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 – Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

And

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 – Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

To do that really well, I think we will need to expand on the GPT paradigm in pretty important ways that we're still missing ideas for.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 – Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

Look, if an oracle told me far from the future that GPT-10 turned out to be a true AGI somehow, maybe just some very small new ideas, I would be like, okay, I can believe that.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 – Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

Not what I would have expected sitting here and would have said a new big idea, but I can believe that.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 – Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

The thing that I am so excited about with this is not that it's a system that kind of goes off and does its own thing, but that it's this tool that humans are using in this feedback loop.
