BIG EPISODE

[@ironhulk749]

Idk, 20min in and all answers seem kinda bland and nothing really has been said. For some reason Sam seems full of shit. The world doesn't need another Zuck

Sam Altman- The master of talking without saying anything

Why can't this guy just answer a question directly? The panel needs to press him more to his face, they criticized him so much on past podcasts.

[@therainman7777]

I heard a ton of direct answers in this interview. Of course there are going to be some questions he can’t answer with full transparency yet, because not everything is ready to be made public yet. Every private company has questions that they’re not willing to answer until certain things are made public. OpenAI in general and Sam Altman in particular are getting so much hate these days and it seems to me that the vast majority of it is undeserved.

[@swayson5208]

very suspicious. If someone avoids answer probing questions.

​@@Pok3rfaceok, go for it: why do those guys all push llms like they are something vastly innovative. Hardly any improvements since the early days of transformers and RL. Llms are nothing other than glorified webcrawlers.

[@thinklikeaprogrammer8482]

Chamath called the student protesters "ding dongs" then David Sacks goes onto to defend them. I would have never guessed that happening a couple of years ago.

[@whowhy9023]

Putin likes the Palestinian protests as it weakens the west. David works for Putin. Guessing he got a nice bailout a couple of years ago.

I started listening the podcast because of chamtath now the more I listen to it the more I dislike him and the more find myself agree with sacks

[@shmuelrosenthal6661]

It's so interesting to get alerted by KZbin knowing exactly when we all get to see a new episode to see the results of a ven diagram of people who a) haven't watched the episode because the comment is posted 3minutes after release and then b) are too excited to post something short and punchy and sensational to create drama..

[@PhiTonics]

I always thought he seemed like a sociopath, maybe well meaning, but straight tabula rasa. Everyone in the comments seems to recognize there's something off about him.

"It makes me sad that we have not figured out a way to make GPT-4 level technology available to free users, it's something we really want to do" "GPT4 is still only available to the paid users but one of the things we really want to do is figure out how to make more advanced technology available to free users too" Your detector is not wrong, but he may be bullshitting by underselling rather than overselling which is potentially scarier

[@Ehralur]

There's something so incredibly off with this guy, literally nothing he says sounds sincere. My gut tells me this guy will do some real evil in the world, and everyone will look back at these kinds of podcasts and think it was so obvious that this guy was up to no good. Real scary stuff.

Groq with Llama 3 has to freak out Sam. Its faster and cheaper. A well designed agent system will smoke GPT4. To really get the most out of GPT4 you cant just zero shot. You need to go back and forth a bit. Even if Llama 3 takes twice the amount of prompts to get the same result you are still way ahead. I dont think it would take double the prompts though. Prompting chatgpt after prompting the 8b Llama 3 model feels like a dial up modem vs a fiber connection.

😂 💯

[@skater8352]

Can we get a count of how many times he said “like”

[@manjindersingh3243]

Sam Altman literally follows: "If you can't convince them, confuse them"

[@sk708]

Well done, Saks, for calling out the made-up stories on the protestors

[@skydivekrazy76]

He is not trustworthy. He took something that was supposed to be open and closed it for his own profit and power. He can talk cap about wanting to make the world better all he wants. But actions speak louder them words, buddy!

[@BrianBarlow-sj2qu]

The fact that this guy has so much of society and civilization’s outcome in his hands coupled with his demonstrated egoism and political brinkmanship should be terrifying to most people.

[@uzih]

Wow really impressed with david sachs integrity on holding to the value of free speech regardless of which side of the aisle

[@pin65371]

I watched part of the Sam interview but ended up just skipping to the Alphafold 3 talk. I was hoping you guys would talk about that

[@test-mo5ph]

I love that chamath got a haircut for this

[@thomaschoi2244]

😂

[@daniel....]

Props to Sacks for being so intellectually honest and defending the protesters.

[@t_share8032]

Thank you all for all your hard works!! I did not like Sam's interrupting.

[@ZaphodTube]

ClosedAI. Looking forward for them open sourcing everything and share data and code. Until then I don‘t feel the mission, if somebody censors the most powerful tool and has the full version in his cellar.

[@rtsang17]

Watched 1 min already better than the last Lean In Podcast

[@madorsey077]

I leaned way out---no thanks. First one I've skipped in a long while.

[@davab]

i turned off in 5 minutes last episode. sorry. i don't know how to lean..

[@island97]

😂😂

[@PazLeBon]

i felt the opposite, boring guy imo.

[@tvm73836]

Sam is totally humoring these guys. Feels like a cat playing with mice 😂

[@unklejuju6157]

Friedberg is smart af. Chamath , best hair cut yet. Keep it short.

[@zico6655]

Please bring Alex Karp for All In summit to talk about Palantir

[@CHMichael]

We are borg - resistant is futile. Very fitting backdrop

[@canadianrepublican1185]

I noticed that too.

[@travisratnam2095]

Get David Friedberg to ask the same questions to Ilya.

[@dorcy]

petition to number the episodes again, going up every week felt like small milestones 😭plus the reflection episode 200 is close

[@TonyAndersonMusic]

All due respect to the besties but this is boring AF

[@eddiesantini5130]

Is he trying to talk like Elon . Something rubs me the wrong way with this dude .

[@Ehralur]

Right? Nothing he says sounds sincere. This guy is just giving all kinds of evil vibes.

[@steven_abd]

he Xed/writed like the other Sam, BankFried, never used capital letters, hope they don’t end up the same

[@briandoyle14]

He definitely has agi and now is culled.

[@fletchermclaughlin8971]

Many comments here are pointlessly negative. The discussion about the best medium to interface with LLMs was super interesting.

[@CSuiteInsider]

The best of jcal😂 at the end of today’s episode! Keep it up, man!

[@69jefke]

He doesn't seem to know anything about anything, just that they are thinking about it. A lot of fuzz and clouds of words that mean nothing. I'm not buying it! The I'm the good guy narrative is doubtable to say the least.

[@nancyslagle3918]

Shout out to Freeberg for showing the Borg!

[@pinhound5643]

Sam gives me SBF vibes.. "Im just trying to do good.. change the world!"

[@antrikshluthra6599]

1:29:43 Liked the AlphaFold 3.0 discussion

[@Jack-ei3gu]

Would love to see you bringing Ilya for an interview next.

[@moroccobama]

Never watching a Sam interview again.

[@kevenwang9285]

I think having Sam on is good for the show’s reach. But would love to get a separate episode on current news with a release of an interview

[@sachin265]

When Friedberg talks or asks a question, I listen really carefully. Who else?

[@shyama5612]

Stopped after 20 min, was there a question about upcoming search engine launch? that's the most critical of all questions.

[@canadianrepublican1185]

I feel like he is evil.. I don't like him.

[@smohan123]

JCal on fire last five mins of the show. I was rollin... Guy has real comedic chops

[@dmosher]

The best moment was JCal the loose cannon announcing “his panel members”, the annoyed look on Friedman’s face and Chamath’s great laughter

[@nickodell2318]

Skipped to after the Sam interview

[@bumoftennis8290]

Borg cube, subtle

[@InnovativeSustainableSolutions]

Friedburg is the best at extracting real information from is vaugue rambling

[@Wavy8r]

Not subtle

[@ergo4422]

if you're wondering who the 3rd billionaire was, it was Bill Ackman
