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

I think all of these models understand something more about the world model than most of us give them credit for. And because there are also very clear things they just don't understand or don't get right, it's easy to look at the weaknesses, see through the veil, and say, oh, this is all fake. But it's not all fake. It's just some of it works and some of it doesn't work.

Like, I remember when I started first watching Sora videos and I would see, like, a person walk in front of something for a few seconds and occlude it and then walk away and the same thing was still there. I was like, oh, that's pretty good. Or there's examples where, like, the underlying physics looks so well represented over, you know, a lot of steps in a sequence.

It's like, oh, this is, like, quite impressive. Yeah. But, like, fundamentally, these models are just getting better, and that will keep happening. If you look at the trajectory from Dolly 1 to 2 to 3 to Sora, you know, there were a lot of people that were dunked on each version, saying, it can't do this, it can't do that, and, like, look at it now.

Yeah, so what I would say is it's doing something to deal with occlusions really well. What I represent that it has like a great underlying 3D model of the world, it's a little bit more of a stretch.

It looks like this approach is going to go surprisingly far. I don't want to speculate too much about what limits it will surmount and which it won't, but... What are some interesting limitations of the system that you've seen?

There's all kinds of fun. I mean, like, you know, cats sprouting an extra limb at random points in a video. Like, pick what you want, but there's still a lot of problems, a lot of weaknesses.

Like, I think there is something about the approach which just seems to feel different from how we think and learn and whatever. And then also, I think it'll get better with scale.
