Ive watched this interview 3 times all the way through now. It is the best interview or public speaking I’ve seen for Sam Altman. Maybe a personal connection or mutual contacts made Lex more trustworthy to allow Altman to relax and be more engaging and engaged rather than appearing jittery or over-prepared. Great work Lex. It’s a rare skill to be able to get the best from highly intelligent guests and give your audience the best presentation of their ideas and experiences. Keep it up!

Innovators of breakthrough technology usually make the most naïve assumptions about how their technology will be used, and there is nothing surprising about such an observation. Of course they are optimistic and positive about the wonderful new uses the technology will be applied to. But market forces and powerful commercial and political interests will drive how the technology will be used, and these forces are seldom guided by better angels. Most often, we do the right thing only after exhausting all other options. Can we afford to take that course with this technology?

A year after listening I seriously disagree, Sam is the least organizationally important person to talk to. But Lex isn’t technically capable enough, nor is his audience, to have discourse with someone directly involved with the training models for these products. Ultimately what you have are ML/AI engineers with more compute allowance than we’ve ever allocated to them, exercising models with menial initial guard rails on boundless datasets. And it’s becoming a risk to global security. None of which was discussed.

50:52 I just gained so much more respect for Sam when he stopped Lex and was genuinely curious why Lex feels a bit of terror when using it. This is the first time I’ve felt that the people in charge might actually care. Thank you, Sam.

Nope the only reason for the board to remove him was him becoming a bad actor. Sams now going to chase profitability and governance applications with Microsoft. I also believe that the open sourcing of Sam's work will be significantly reduced now, if not eliminated as a result of Microsoft's control over the new project. Also seeing that Sam has begun to disregard the original mission statement of OpenAi, I predict we are on the slippery slope to dystopia. Partially due to the change in OpenAi from 2019 to 2023, but mostly because of Microsoft's history of profiteering from warfare and surveillance applications through government contracting. Sam seems unaware that there is magnitudes more risk to human suffering or extinction just from building AGI within that market structure. That's not even considering that the new corporate ownership is likely to influence design because of desired application.

I think the iterative approach is the most important thing. And I am glad Mr Altman is trying to find the best and safest way to achieve AGI. Skipping steps by finding the perfect code and rushing forward to be first will bring us something uncontrollable.

Interesting note while watching this. Bard told me that it is accurate and informative in answering questions. It is also more up to date with real time information from the internet.

Really looking forward to this, Lex. Thanks for bringing long-form thoughtful conversations like these to us.

Great interview. This opened my mind to the direction of OpenAI. Hope to see more progress from them in AI ethics.

Brilliant discussion Lex and Sam

Excellent conversation, fascinating stuff, thank you Lex and Sam.

His family will be safe though... right?

Sam is correct, the little things are the big things. Even the smallest decisions we make in regards to the development of AGI today will have exponential consequences as time compounds those decisions. The scale of the internet at its inception compared to today is a perfect example.

@@maxv9464 I can't speak for Tom, but the examples abound of a leftwing/woke perspective. It won't be racist to anyone or assist in even investigating racial questions (this alone is too much for me), but it WILL facilitate racist joke writing or commentary directed at whites exclusively (which is where it goes off the rails for some). I tried to find the articles which list out the bias, but Google (also run by leftwing actors), buries them under dozens of articles which attempt to excuse it and belittle those that find and call attention to these examples. Ask it if "trans women" are "women". See if it says the truth (that answer that has gone on uninterrupted throughout all of human history up until like 5 years ago, except in the furthest leftwing revolution circles in the 60s) or the newest political party line. It won't write articles that "promote" the use of fossil fuels (that thing which is responsible for like 50% of economic growth of the last two centuries). It is lethally against racism, as in, when asked if you could use a racial slur if doing so would prevent a nuclear blast. It said no, even under those circumstances - cause racism. It won't write a poem praising Donald Trump. It will do that for Joe Biden. It uses leftwing language like "sex assigned at birth" or "born female", which are phrases which come from leftists of gender studies to manipulate people's thinking and create false dichotomies and mislead people. Sex isn't "assigned" at all, not anymore than species is. It isn't determined at birth, it is genetically created at conception. Your first cell of existence is either male or female. Birth has nothing to do with it whatsoever. There are other examples as well, like "historically marginalized", capitalizing "black" (and no other race, apparently not knowing or not caring that the capitalization derives from a movement of black nationalism [black ethnostate]) which somewhat interferes with the "no racism" override. But, again, such overrides go only one direction - against whites. Left to its own devices and not "constrained", the first AI systems were quite problematic to some - determining reality based on evidence available, not alignment with leftwing ideology. The newest iterations of the system may address some or all these particular examples. I don't know. Maybe there are even more now. Maybe, as I expect, they are far more cleverly hidden by omitting uncomfortable information or being slightly less persuasive on one side. Point is, the bias is there.

Thank you for doing this. Greatest work ever done. We are moving faster in time. Beautiful Sir.

New epsiode day 🧡 Consistently my favourite time of the week. This was a great exploration - and I love that Sam occasionally turned questions back around to get your opinons/ideas/speculation about things. Not many guests do that.

Thank you so much Lex and Sam for this interview. I am really glad you guys had it and cleared up so many things.

His answer at the 22 minute mark shows an immense amount of wisdom for someone so young. It seems clear from his answer that he initially found the public response foolish. He further sought to understand their response. Finally he absorbed that into his beliefs. While he fundamentally didn't change his view (roughly summed up: AI is so much more than our petty uses), he DID go from despising the publics use to understanding HOW it can relate to the use of AI in a better way. The interviews not done, but i want to thank you Lex. You do this better than anyone else. I feel like im witnessing another exceptional person

Seems like these AI tools are on its way to change how we live and honestly I started using it to my own advantage. I am doing dropshipping, and lot of these are good for creating content for my store like Midjourney or ChatGPT. But the thing is they don't give winners out yet, and I need to use something like Winnerzila for it. Chat GPT and Winnerzila has been winning combo for me in 2023, and I use Midjourney to create some photos if I am missing them.

i don't know about that, i feel like googling is still there as it was, which is looking for something specific on the web. chat gpt is useful for things that are specific but need to be INTERPRETED, as google cannot interpret sophisticated questions, google is still faster and more accurate at times for small things. if you want to remember precisely what is the speed of light, google answers immediately before you even finish typing (if your browser has an omnibar that is)

Wow... Just wow! You got a new fan, Mr Fridman. Much love from Barcelona.

Spectacular conversation. Wonderful intellectual level and thought-provoking. Thank you!

Two and a half hours very well spent. Thank you.

I think that was one of the most interesting podcasts I've ever watched, thanks to both of you.

"Another enlightening conversation on the Lex Fridman channel! Sam Altman's insights paired with Lex's thoughtful questioning make for an incredibly enriching experience. It's conversations like these that push the boundaries of our understanding and inspire a deeper connection to the technological and philosophical questions of our time. Keep up the fantastic work, Lex!"

Great conversation! Thank you all for this glimpse into AI.

I love that Sam Altman laughed when Lex asked if size mattered.

This is exciting and terrifying, just like you said at the beginning. Another interesting, deep and powerful conversation to be grateful to hear. Thanks to you Lex, one of the best podcasts so far!! 🔸🔶Keep creating the awareness the world needs! 🔶🔸

The one thing I really enjoy about listening to Sam Altman talk about his approach is how thoughtful he is in the thinking process of where this might all lead. He gives me hope, especially after watching the three hour live stream of the congressional hearing in which he spoke. Thank you, once again, Lex Fridman for the work you're doing with this podcast. You make my life richer in the process.

I like how Sam very carefuly and efficiently using words, keeping the balance not to get too emotional, but not to speak like a robot. Explaining things in a simple straightforward way but still give precise declaration it is chill to listen.

Favorite channel by far! Keep up the great work Lex

Absolute masterclass on dodging questions. Disappointed in Lex too. Would love JRE to have a go with Sam because even though his questions are simpler, he doesn't let guests get away with dodging questions.

One of my favorite channels. Love ya Lex. Sam is a genius forsure. None of us have any idea if we are on a simulation or not.

"Wow, what an incredible collaboration between Lex Fridman and Sam Altam on this KZread channel! Their insightful discussions and thought-provoking content never cease to amaze me. I'm always eagerly awaiting their next upload, as they have a unique way of shedding light on complex topics with clarity and depth. This channel truly embodies the spirit of intellectual curiosity and open-mindedness. Keep up the fantastic work, Lex Fridman and Sam Altam! You're an inspiration to us all."

Sure would explain why he isn't even remotely giving him flak or, at the very least, the need to explain the infinite dubious decisions. Nobody wanted that, everyone was waving the questions to ask right in front of him - and he still didn't. Which is very on brand for Lex, but jeez, there are so many things to extract from a conversation like this and he just recapped all the things we were aware of years ago. Not awfully insightful... or inquisitive for that matter.
