The Man Behind ChatGPT (Sam Altman)

Go to brilliant.org/coldfusion to get a 30-day free trial + 20% off.
In today's episode, we look at the life, philosophy and legacy of Sam Altman, the man behind OpenAI. I started covering OpenAI back in 2017. Even back then, right out of the gate, they were achieving breakthroughs. Only time will tell if Sam ends up being a hero or villan, but one thing is for sure: his company has certainly shaken things up.

[@corail53]

Except tobacco co's did everything possible to not say they knew they would kill you. The governments had to step in and mandate that. This is more akin to a grifter being ceo of a company that was most likely running out of money hence all its big billionaire investors like elon left in 2018 and decided the best way to get money to keep it going was to release it to the public and hype the hell out of it. Remember Sam is vulture, he is only after money.

[@SirCanuckelhead]

Vehicle companies sell metal death machines, it is up to society to monitor and use properly. Computers can be used for all sorts of bad, guns, knives, anything sharp. Food, especially unhealthy food. It is up to society and the person to use tools properly and responsibly

[@DreamOfFlying]

AI is/used to be something of general interest in society. It was supposed to benefit humanity. Now, that humanity has started developing plans on possible AGIs, it's pretty much unpreventable. It's up to the Government's and other international organizations to regulate AI equally for everyone. It's not up to society. It's up to the Government's. And that's a huge difference. Society can't monitor anything really. Government's can monitor.

[@der_ludo5460]

I am not saying you are wrong, AI developers should definitely think about the consequences of what might happen with their technology. But in general I would say it is the job of society, or more specific, the government, to monitor problems with this technology and to put in regulation about what is allowed and what is not. You would not trust/simply tell food manufacturers to only put stuff into their food that is safe to eat because even if 99% of them do not put in any harmful substances, the remaining 1% are the issue. That is why there are government agencies that monitor and regulate food safety. Similar thing with AI, even if almost all AI companies agree to not develop harmful AI programs, there will always be a few people that do not care about anything except money and companies that just somehow want to gain advantage in the market without caring about the morals. Just think about all the fake news floating around the internet even today and how much money there is in that, or catfishing and other stuff on social media, would it not be great if you could automate that with a bot that can do it to 1000 people at once? Thats why you need society and the government to step in and regulate AI and cannot just leave it to the developers.

People like Altman became rich and powerful by innovating in a field that was unregulated; it's how they grew their startups to success. Once in the catbird seat, they call for regulations on their industry not for the sake of safeguarding the public from any excesses, but to implement a regulatory burden that will prevent other startups in the same field from attaining a similar degree of success, thus maintaining for themselves a de facto monopoly of that field. And, yes, they primarily want regulations that don't overly burden their own already established businesses.

Right now, with the current GPT architecture there's no risk of an AI that goes rogue. However, ONCE the architecture will be changed (which it will)... with a huge context memory... trouble will begin.

[@avarmauk]

True. Not many people are aware that we are far off General AI, these language models as amazing as they appear are simply compiling speech patterns. They are not “thinking” in the traditional sense. Like you say, once the architecture and approach changes, then the threat can go from zero to hundred very quickly.

[@DannyMan-ns3ue]

I would argue that it isn't even correct to call what we have now as Generative AI. It's imitative AI. It copies what is available on the internet. Some of the AI art it created even had the GettyImages watermark in the picture. While humans can create new things, the AI we have now just uses the information available on the internet.

[@Sanguen666]

@@avarmauk even more so, this is apparent when we ask an AI (chatGPT for example) a question where it answers wrong, and it already "knows" its wrong because the first tokens led it to a "bad start", but as it is only predicting the next token, it continued down that wrong path, which it is unable to change. And then when we ask it to correct itself, it does so (it starts with a "right" set of tokens). The whole GPT architecture of "thinking" in tokens is inherently limited by its very nature. The architecture is also very bad at keeping context, it was limited to only 2k tokens, now some models have 8k tokens, while recently gpt4 got about 30k tokens. while the new mosaic model got 65k plus. this is all rapidly changing, but GPT was revolutionary by showing that AI is actually possible at all, and now when companies see that AI is "real" they are all pouring endless amounts of money on it. So a new architecture will most likely come sooner than later.

What's the song/music starting at 13:25 ? Anyone know? Can't find it in the mentioned playlist in the description

[@JK-gm6kk]

I miss physical keyboards on phones so much! I think my favorite phone design was my first, Droid 2 global. The screen slid up to reveal a physical keyboard. I wish a major phone manufacturer would make another phone similar to that design

[@sc3ku]

Agreed! a modern full-touch screen that also slide up to reveal a thin hidden keyboard would be amazing

[@2bfrank657]

Yeah, I despise modern touch interfaces. Having said that, half the problem is really the shitty software and user interface design, not just the physical hardware.

[@DoctorZacharySmith]

You can just connect a compact bluetooth keyboard to your smartphone when you need to type a longer text and don't have access to a computer. Or use the dictation function instead of typing...

[@lucasetten]

You, as well as others, consistently talk about new technologies and how they will be used to make the world a more dangerous place. Nobody ever thinks about trying to figure out why some individuals are motivated to use technology to harm people. We should all focus on solving that problem, first and foremost. We solve that, and then people are not going to use technology irresponsibly.

[@zeenkosis]

This!

[@MrFujinko]

People harm others inadvertently all the time

[@monkeydluffy2063]

"why some individuals are motivated to use technology to harm people" - well it is very convenient for one. The real question is what motivates people to harm people

[@MultiAli62]

Otherwise, they wouldn't get that many views. So they talk about the negative side.

[@agladstone]

Great video, just one correction - Google launched Latitude in 2009, which let users share locations with their family and friends. This was an implimentation of a technology of a company they bought in 2005 called Dodgeball.

[@BunkerSquirrel]

18:00 asking for something he’s working on to be democratically controlled and reigned in is a true testament to this guy’s integrity. He really believes in benefitting humanity with his tech, not just profit. We need more people with this kind of character in power.

[@TeddyKrimsony]

unless every human gets to vote, it is not a human democracy, only a small portion of humanity gets to vote and based on previous and current voting behaviour it is not benefiting humanity.

[@linexmugambi8125]

Thanks for the documentary! Sam Altman and OpenAI have definitely stirred the pot. Is Sam a hero or a villain? Well, it's like trying to figure out if Siri is secretly plotting world domination. Only time will reveal the twist ending, but until then, let's buckle up and enjoy this wild AI adventure!

[@KhaledsWay]

This video is gonna blow up today

[@CplusO2]

Love your work Dagogo. Nice to see you using Scott Buckley's music but I note he is not credited.

[@PK-vw3gd]

Anyone know the piano music that is playing during the "Growing Influence" segment @7:45 ?

[@neutra__l8525]

If preventing AI technology from becoming centralised in a single company, eg Google, and thereby a threat to humanity, as Sam had feared when he was younger, what could he have done differently to keep OpenAI relevant/competitive after Elon stopped financing? It's a serious question, as I don't know enough about the history and options at the time.

[@DanyCesc83]

What I find fascinating is the lack of awareness humans still have about their own evil capabilities. We always look to blame something for demise in behavior or actions of hate, Is not AI or the tech you have to worry about but those who have access to it and as they gather power will most likely change for the worse. So is not the tech that we need to regulate and keep an eye but the humans controlling it and shaping it.

[@corail53]

Chatgpt is not an AGI ai - it is nothing more than a fancy search tool. It can't think, it just takes information that is already out there and pieces it together (extremely well) for you when you give it proper prompts. It has no creativity, no thinking, nothing. While there are a ton of companies out there working on real AGI's - it is a part of progress but as per usual society is way behind the speed of technology and it causes a lot of problems. UBI will not be a solution and will not work - it goes against human nature and no one would bother working - ie: we got a taste of what that would look like with the us giving out money to everyone and it wasn't pretty.

[@rezeno5665]

@@corail53 Once, AGI is brought to this world at some point in the future, and UBI is not working as intended. The societical upheavel will be gargantuan, the world instantly turns upside-down, and all of history will be changed forever.

[@nerd26373]

Sam Altman seems like the type of guy who'd be knocking on your door, pulling out his Bible, then reading the Scriptures out loud. I didn't mean to offend, but he's kinda giving off that vibe.

[@SGBassplayer]

Looking forward to the video pertaining to the next phase of Altman’s career.

[@GolDx696]

What's the background drum and bass song at 3 minutes? Great vid btw

I think we need to stop saying that AI is replacing jobs "nobody wants to do" and then talk about creative jobs where people are super passionate about doing their jobs.

[@sean_vikoren]

I'll drop this prior to watching: Sam is a very clear example of a Sociopath. And I suspect he would test well into Psychopathy. This is the obvious worst case scenario. Everything he does next is about closing the moat, that Caesar might have all the power. Open source has never had more riding on it. If we lose this fight, humans will own humans for the next thousand years.

[@TheLeftCulprit]

Yea? What about after watching? Baseless claims are about as pointless as complaining about the economy.

[@sean_vikoren]

@@TheLeftCulprit After watching, I realized that I underestimated his charisma. And therefore, I underestimated the danger he represents for timelines with humans. RE: Baseless claims Almost everyone has reasons to keep things the same. And I am just the unwashed, crazy, peasant beggar on the side of a dirt road. I am too old to fetch the water, but if you don't find it over there, I will have to beg in the next town.

[@xaza8uhitra4]

you cannot convince me this “fear”that these tech leaders have about AI is not used to generate hype about their products

[@xaza8uhitra4]

read Timnit Gebru, these tech companies were never serious about AI implications to the harm it can cause society and the most vulnerable among us. they fired ethics directors and ignored calls to make this technology ethically . these tech leaders are not benevolent

[@DanHammonds]

I agree. Whenever I hear Elon Musk fearmongering about AI, I suspect it's only because he's not in charge and he sees it as a threat to his power.

[@XOPOIIIO]

This fear was generated decades ago, it just become more known due to the hype.

[@sprayartist8459]

Please don't put another billionaire on a pedestal (talking mainly to the audience), you've all seen what power and money does to people and what kind of people stand on top. Always assume skepticism when they're too good to be true.
