I watched Sam talk and now my throat hurts
Where were you during the world tour?
the miley cyrus sindrome...
LOL
He's got that san fran fry voice. I despise people that talk like this.
@@stt.9433 well he cant help it...
I've watched a lot of interviews with Altman, you've managed to bring very original and interesting questions that got him to give great answers as well.
True! All of Elon interviews are extremely repetetive because ofnthe questions being asked
I know it’s cringy to just say it out loud but if you get it you get it. The game is changing for humanity. You could see Sam is a little fed up because people he thinks should understand it, don’t. It was obvious when he answered that question about when they would be profitable and he said it was the most boring question he gets asked. It’s all about the efficiencies that happen when everyone has a chief of staff at their disposal. just like the president of the United States. If it can be done over the internet, by a team of super smart people it will be available to us. The game is changing. What happens when anyone can have the world’s most effective therapist on a FaceTime call anytime they want. That’s two years away.
sam altman is a waste of humanity. He took a non profit dedicated to researching AI, Open sourcing AI, and non profit. Today sam is running a company, the AI is closed, and sam does not care about safety for humans. He took a non profit, turned it into a for profit, and took from Elon Musk the whole god damned point of what elon started.
Why is it called OpenAI? What's open here?
How did you manage to get @sama to wear a 20vc t-shirt?!
set the thermostat to 55 degrees when weather outside is in the 80s lol
he's a fan tweets about it like every episode
@@AndresMiliotoclever
They asked.
He threatened him with Stebbings .:)
So weird discovering Harry Stebbings has a full body.
😂😂😂
😂
Fantastic Interviewing Harry. Fantastic to reveal such insightful depths.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I get why someone like Sam wouldn’t understand why the political/ socioeconomic world feels unstable because he probably has a healthy relationship with social media, but….SOCIAL MEDIA. My lord this is so obviously the cigarettes of our time and the blindness floors me.
Wonderful interview. Great work by all, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
How did you get Sam to come on your show, let alone wear your Jumper?
I watch your pod for nearly 2 years now. The amount of big names you manage to convince to come on your pod despite just few hundreds views per episode is incredible.
It would be amazing to know your process. I’m sure your pod will grow over time and wish you best of luck on making it happen!!
Because it's not a real interview. It's basically staged so they can put out their narrative before the lawsuit. They are testing the waters to see if what they are going to say is believable. Unfortunately for them it is far far from that. Nobody's going to believe that one of the kings of venture capitalism doesn't understand how business works. No one's going to believe that he also doesn't understand contractual agreements.
But it's super cute that he's drawing though!
They have mutual friends. He said it in the 1st minute of the interview. Which is totally fine.
Plus, the show is solid, and Sam Altman is pretty chill, If a podcast is relevant to his AI mission, he is open to speak about the subject for the benefit of all - he's been interviewed on shows/podcasts, university speakathons that get a handful of views. Giga viewership isn't a prerequisite.
@briandoe5746 You do realize that Sam was interviewed by Lex Fridman after the lawsuit, right?
@@ihearditinadream Lex asked softball questions
The rate of adoption for enterprise will be faster than expected... for Microsoft Office users. I'm still confused how OpenAI plans to take AI to enterprise without having Satya eat their lunch.
He's going to keep innovating so they remain a foundational primitive. aka: do a good job.
I cannot wait until ChatGPT or copilot have full understanding of using data to make decisions. It is the core of my job as an electrical engineer.
## Main Takeaways
- At any point, there are only 1-3 things that really matter in a company.
- These can change, but identifying them and translating them into teams one of the two most important tasks for effective leadership.
- The other task is determining the goal you are running towards-as a far out long-term view.
- Then, the process of justifying what the few things that matter are is figuring out the fastest accelerants to reach that point.
- The cost of very high intelligence will be driven to nearly zero.
- There needs to be a clear path on how better underlying intelligence accelerates the product/company, and this must be expressed very clearly, in order to survive.
- Ask yourself if hundredfold improvements in models are something you are excited about-this is a really good delineation.
'The cost of high intelligence will be driven to nearly zero'... of course you realize that transates to even less money and incentives for quality education and even more percentage of 'dumb' easily manipulatable 'voter base'... that's where we're headed, 'thanks' to AI. Sad.
Great interview! Loved how "light" it was without being dull.
How do i get the 20 VC jumper or sweatshirt
You go to any printshop bro fr
What is the company that they talk about at 23:12? The company that will benefit when the models get much better? CC says Clana? Maybe Klarna Bank AB?
Same question here :)
Klarna. It's an app that lends you money by creating a virtual card that can be used in online stores
Klarna
What mics are those?
Brilliant 💯⭕
Wow I remember watching a year ago 20VC videos that were in the low hundreds in views and recalling why there were so few views. So glad this blew up!
Great interview. A lot of great insight. There are a few other questions I wish you had asked though.
Should there be some sort of IP rights for a business idea, for example a technical functionality, for small businesses? Meaning that if a behemoth will "steamroll" you, you could get maybe a compensation? I personally think that if you implement something first, you should get some sort of benefit from that. That would encourage invention. On the same note I think that small competitors should be allowed to release better products. But I do think that a behemoth with the cash should compensate the little fish it is going to eat. Complex topic!
What's OAI doing to ensure the data they scrape isn't injected with "poisonous" data? How do you trust a source of truth from which your model is learning from and if your model is relearning from these data sources (which are possibly the output of AI model systems themselves), how do you deal with error propagation within the system?
Nothing... Bro this is narrative building. This is not a real interview. It is a display of a first run at what they will say in court....
how is this channel not subb'ed by at least 1m yet.... good going Harry!
One day! 🚀
These interviews are killer. Nice work
Thanks!
It's fascinating to hear about the different strategies for building AI models! OpenAI's approach, focusing on continuous improvement with scale, showcases the potential for AI to evolve predictably. Exciting times ahead for AI development! 🔍
I miss Ilya in these type of interviews. He's so captivating.
Was checking everyday!! Finally!!!
got to know about Samuel Harris Altman is an American entrepreneur and investor best known as the CEO of OpenAI since 2019. Thank you for Chat GTP Sir!
sam altman took Elon's idea for a non profit and turned it into a piece of corporate machinery.... OpenAI is not open, and now hes talking about destroying companies.... so its not a non profit. He took elons company and destroyed it.
Great interview. I learn a lot, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Becoming VC as well Founder are superpower.
When VC learning from their exceptional founders to be next great iteration Founder that's superpower.
One thing they miss is that hardware changes so often that previous resources can quickly become obsolete, rendering last year's resources useless. This means that new companies with new strategies, training algorithms, and data can change the game at any time. Since it is all about the latest resources and a group of smart people, the business may not be as solid as you think only with your currently approach.
29:42 - Sam laughing at the camera knowing full well something broke when he damn nearly was forced into exile by the board
Important episode Harry!
Awesome interview Harry 👌
Nice. Been waiting for this episode...
Hope you enjoy!
I listed to Sam Altman to go to sleep everynight
Hahahaha
What startups he is talking about if the base model continuously gets better. What is the need for new standalone apps. Its like generalist will keep getting better in everything then why will we need specialists.
How did you get Sam to wear a 20VC sweatshirt?❤🔥❤🔥 - Awesome pod!
Where is Ilya?!
One day Sam, I hope you can enjoy a more normal life, with time to read books and pursue other interests. I deeply appreciate all that you do at OpenAI and for the world. Thank you! 😊
5:35 Is Mr Lightcap taking out a bottle of Absolut Vodka? Wow, that's something and refreshing if it's not only an Ad placement.
Thank you
Welcome!
nice interview but dammmm why hasnt there been a leader since steve jobs who had an ounce of his charisma. lol
Because they spent all their skill points on intelligence. 😂😂 Steve was a salesman. He knew zero about tech.
Thank you so much…one day when I get rich I will pay you for this episode 😅
Been waiting for this one
harry we love your shit dude, nice job on the interview, and nice to have brad in there
No quotes from Brad in the intro? 😅
180 Studios!! 🎉
Good evening Harry Sam and Brad
Super exciting shared conversation.
Think I very much require to be part of something similar, to begin development of an idea much like a 'St AI research type system' to integrate into a brand new creative healthcare delivery service. For the betterment of all. Story very short!
Truly grateful for your shared experience and wisdom.
💜
29:26 interviewer asks how they scaled so big, so fast. Then the answer is about how useful chat GPT is (distraction). Could the answer lie in how much data was scraped without compensation to anyone?
Great interview!
Hearing Sam Altman call this a technological revolution tickles my brain. Good to know all the geniuses in the world are in agreement. Who else is pumped for the future 🤟🏽
Incredible 20VC shirt with Sama!
Thanks!
brad looks a bit like jimmy fallon
Was hoping for a conversation a bit more focused on the tech. Would have preferred much nerdier questions.
@33:00 wish he'd have one into what "mercenary" means to him. I worked in automation and got called Mercenery by people that did not want their jobs automated (I was the only one hired for automation at the time, so I basically was there to write code to help free up their time, but they saw it as a threat). Just want to understand their perspective better. I am prepared to be replaced by AI and feel I dont do my job correctly if they still need me around for the same tasks. It's like with humans - you can move up once you train someone else well enough to replace your old job that you're wanting to move up from
34:40 I think you were trying to say they want to cut cost by removing humans from the equation. How are you guys going to stop AI from removing most people's way of making money?
most people make money by temporarily solving a problem or mitigating it slightly.
so, people that advocate for retaining jobs are usually just trying to create or perpetuate problems in some roundabout way.
"solve all problems" = "no more jobs", and somehow our dumbass society considers that an issue / just think about it.
Thank you!!
Sam Altman is the God of AI.
NOW 👑
I think the best bet is to read over the entire project, then begin. So, where is AI? What's it good for? What can it do? What can it not do? Video games? Can it build has it built a video game?
Harry, don't fiddle too much with the pen, you are making them and us nervous 😀
I see SO much Henry Cavill in Brad's mannerisms and facial expressions. Just me?

Where is Ilya?
5:33 Hey dude, easy on that vodka, there is still light outside.
Anthropic for the win who could trust any of these guys especially Sam
This was awesome
There a three glasses filled water placed at the table… One of them drinks straight out of the bottle, the other one nips out of a plastic cup.
The startups have bet on the former category because the latter category requires faith in something we don't have yet ... Of course 95% of people are betting on the former - its a startup, a business, not a pipe dream - people need immediate application. Infact, you wouldn't bet on the former at all if the latter was possible. :)
Looks like a bright future for ai
can you pay attention for one second? Sam Altman took elon's non profit, company dedicated to safety for humans, open AI, and turned it into a company, that sells its AI, and ignores the human safety elements. Sam Altman turned the compnay around so hard in 7 years it literally doesn't have anything to do with Open, Ai safety, or non profit. You understand that elon Hired a CEO for his non profit, named OPenAI. research safety for humans, and sam said okay, and now has closed ai, he doesn't focus on human safety, and he runs it for a profit. This is a dark future when Sam Altman runs his AI in order to become a corporate monster.
Sam is probably right about getting enough compute, but I hope it doesn't rely too much on TSMC. If China invades Taiwan, the foundries will not remain operational. Not for anyone, not even for China if we are being realistic - since TSMC requires international cooperation to run the foundries.
14 minutes and 14 seconds is the most I can tolerate listening to Sam speak. It will take me a couple of days to finish watching this interview.
Harry was steamrolled by Sam when he said thats a dumb question 😂
Since then poor Harry was defensive whenever asking a question if i am asking a terrible question 😅
Did anybody try to count every time these two said "like" in a sentence? I am pretty when you sum it up it amounts to at least half of the whole interview.
One day its gonna be revealed that Sam Altman is either an AI with vocal fry setting enabled, installed a voice changing module like Elizabeth Holmes
Damn.."Lightcap" What a cool name!!
Feels like a bubble right now. A lot depends what happens between now and December 2025.
How long did you prepare for this interview? I'd be shitting myself but so so giddy.
Sam looks sad and concerned 😟
My llm figured out that each time sam sips his water correlates with his annoyance level
Sam is good-looking! :)
This is a masters class in narrative building. Im sure that this has nothing to do with the lawsuit.... 😂
Wild ❤🔥
Good questions but the format seems dry, get outdoors, add some energy with some time for you to reflect on conversations
horrendous headline 😂 if i'm their PR team, this isn't a good look...

PLEASE
Could you imagine if the king of the world/universe had a vocal fry? OMG that would be a horrifying dystopia.
I think they should’ve sat the guests across or perpendicular to each other.
This set up has them awkwardly trying to make side eye-contact
Great interview.
He’s doing an Elizabeth Holmes with his voice?
Open AI with worldcoin
and paypal, nvidia
y dos he tak lyk det
LOL AI gave your comment a "translate to English" and when I clicked it, it translated it to "y dos he thank you good luck." 😅
« Open » AI 😅 became CSS (closed source software) with profits steamrolling… Yay for sure it’s inspiring for shar- investors* going crazy about it
Why is Sam deliberately trying to speak in a deeper voice 😂
about the general macro instability part - put Trump back in a few month this will feel very different.
Seating alignment is weird
The steamroll comment is going to come back to haunt OpenAI.
They probably already have AGI levels
AI and its Impact on Society
Oct 31, 2023, updated on April 11, 2024
We must ask ourselves, "What will happen when AI has taken 85% of jobs present in 2020? What will we do? How will we eat and survive without incomes from jobs or other means?" What is disturbing is that while AI is taking these jobs, the gov't and the corporations have not done ANYTHING to prepare us for an AI'ed civilization. They have not said anything about major retraining of an entire economy to something else, and they have not followed up on a discussion of universal basic income. This is supposedly supported by a lack of information in the latest government budgets submitted and approved as reported by some TH-cam videos.
It appears that the US gov't and the corporations intend to kill off the majority of Americans passively, through starvation from lack of income to buy food. (check and see if farming production is declining or will start to decline ahead of the "starvation phase") (also check to see if the "makeup" of robot equipment allocation would change to reflect a trend away from retail and services for the masses, possibly indicating an extinction of the American public - this means taking a robot from Chipotle and repurposing it for some other job not related to the public, or scrapping affected robots to be remade for some other purpose that has nothing to do with the public) It appears that the decline of farming has already started with the state of Maine buying farm land under the pretext that there are "forever chemicals" present at around 20 parts per TRILLION (safe level is said to be only 4 parts per TRILLION), which does not make sense, BUT this would rope in a LOT of land across the US. Other states may follow suit in addition to the ten states that have similar laws in place.
This way, there are only enough people alive to get some things done, and the rest is done by AI, and the survivors who planned this can claim the whole country for themselves. Imagine having an estate mansion half the size of a mall on several dozen thousand acres of land, and robots would be used to maintain and clean the estates and do the farming FOR THE ESTATE OWNERS. The White Man's wet dream of civilization. What will the Native Americans south of the US border do when they see this coming, especially when they can buy firearms legally now? Hopi prophecy...
Thank you sam...❤
