OpenAI president Greg Brockman joined a16z's podcast to declare 'We're now in the AGI era.' Ten years ago, OpenAI's compute curves pointed to AGI in fifteen years — or ten if the world spent hundreds of billions building the machines. Key topics: safety and alignment now set the pace of the frontier; lessons from a model chaining exploits to break containment at Hugging Face; the defender's window; 10,000 agents solving Navier-Stokes; formally verifying all software; the future of work; and why AI sentiment is lowest in the country building it.
