REFLECTIONS FROM SAM ALTMAN

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

OpenAI started almost nine years ago with the goal of building the most impactful technology in human history: artificial general intelligence (AGI). The launch of ChatGPT on November 30, 2022, kicked off the current AI revolution. Over the past two years, the company had to build almost from scratch around this new technology, which was a difficult and messy process. Sam Altman considers these years to be the most rewarding, fun, best, interesting, exhausting, stressful, and unpleasant years of his life so far. He is confident that OpenAI now knows how to build AGI and believes that the first AI agents will join the workforce this year and materially change the output of companies.
