And yet altman talks about AGI being imminent, but his company has only ever produced LLMs.
- parineum 1y agoNow why would the CEO of an AI company say something like that!?
- AstroBen 1y agoIs it a given that they need to unrealistically hype everything? To me it just seems like he's killing any and all credibility he had Probably a bad long term strategy? I mean other non-AI companies use hype too sure.. but it's maybe a little sprinkle of 1.1x on top aimed to highlight their best features. Here we're going full on 100x of reality
- parineum 1y agoIt's not a given but Altman is a public figure for a reason while I don't know the names of any of the other CEOs off the top of my head. He talks a lot and when he talks, it's about AI. Even talking about the dangers of AI is hype because it implies it's an important topic to discuss now because it's imminent.
- coldpie 1y ago> To me it just seems like he's killing any and all credibility he had. Probably a bad long term strategy? He's already got more money than God and there's an infinite supply of suckers who think wealth and skill/intelligence are correlated for him to keep feeding off of (see also Goop and Tesla, incredibly successful companies also run by wealthy hucksters). Sam Altman will be just fine.
- phist_mcgee 1y agoI do know that AGI has a different meaning internally to what we think it means: https://www.fanaticalfuturist.com/2025/01/microsoft-and-openai-agree-a-financial-definition-of-agi-of-100-billion/ https://www.fanaticalfuturist.com/2025/01/microsoft-and-open... Massive grain of salt though.
