- On the Big Technology Podcast (Dec 18), Sam Altman proposed: "we agree that AGI kind of went whooshing by."
- tomchapin pressed the obvious follow-up: OpenAI wrote in 2025 that any AGI declaration would be verified by an independent expert panel — so has OpenAI declared AGI, has the panel evaluated it, and what triggers the trigger?
- The 58-minute episode also covers OpenAI's race strategy, 2026 product plans, AI memory and personalization, infrastructure financing, AI devices, and a possible 2026 IPO.
