OpenAI CEO Sam Altman sat down for a roughly 5-minute CNBC interview with Kate Rooney at Dev Day in San Francisco. Amplifier Sarbjeet Johal pushed back sharply on Altman's argument, likening frontier labs running their own AI evaluations to "a car company doing drunk driver tests" — labs grading their own homework. The clip has reignited the recurring debate over whether model makers should be trusted to benchmark themselves.
