OpenAI wants AGI, or at least something they can argue is AGI because it changes their relationship with Microsoft. That's what I remember, although I don't really stay up to date (https://www.wired.com/story/microsoft-and-openais-agi-fight-is-bigger-than-a-contract/ https://www.wired.com/story/microsoft-and-openais-agi-fight-...).
As long as this is the case though I would expect Altman will be hyping up AGI a lot, regardless of it's veracity.
- SecretDreams 1y agoTheir relationship with Microsoft is already over afaik.
- senectus1 1y agoDidnt MS buy 49% of them?
- watson 1y agoYes MS owns 49% of OpenAI
- SecretDreams 1y agoYes, but MSFT has been making substantial moves to align themselves as an openai competitor. The relationship is presently fractured and it's a matter of time before it's a proper split.
- weebull 1y agoMicrosoft is still supporting them by supplying $10bn in compute resources at cost. That's a huge recurring investment.
- quatonion 1y agoThat is just a made up story that gets passed around with nobody ever stopping to obtain formal verification. The image of the whole AI industry is mostly an illusion designed for tight narrative control. Notice how despite all the bickering and tittle tattle in the news, nothing ever happens. When you frame it this way, things make a lot more sense.
