Sam Altman: Early Access to Next-Gen Models Is OpenAI's Biggest Advantage

Matthew Berman published a podcast interview with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman covering when AI will discover new treatments, why AI hasn't killed coding jobs, personal AI assistants, the AI consciousness debate, ChatGPT being too agreeable, OpenAI's bet on chips and cheaper compute, and why AI needs a new kind of computer.
Altman says OpenAI's biggest advantage is getting the next generation of models before anyone else, giving internal time to test what works — citing math results no widely available model can come close to.
