The Man Behind ChatGPT (Sam Altman) 

These guys think on a different level than the rest of us, in an almost detached and brutally honest way.

We mortals hang around in different company

@@johnq4951 is it because he is truly that different? Or do we just treat him differently?

@@zyansheep we treat them differently because they are different. I'm also not saying that's a good or bad thing.

I would never want to describe AI that way

This world is not real anyway

@@Montv3 The world is real and president Hillary Clinton soon will start nukes it

Yea

@@Montv3 stop it is real

@@andrewreynolds912 keep dreaming

Almost like.. ... Oh shit!

Reminds me of e Elon Musk….

I mean no one is forcing him. He could’ve easily turned down invitations from congress and continued building his AI empire. He obviously has some motives driving his decision making but given how cooperative he’s been it’s a bit early to label him as good or bad.

@@estebanperez4171 Yeah his motives are regulation of Open source competition.

Not man but alt man.

What the HELL do YOU know about it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I think at a certain point it’s inevitable that it gets locked down. You could potentially have bad actors forking it for malicious purposes

@@tripplefives1402 Absolutely not. Hardware is not the problem. Refined data is the bottleneck. I heard Ilya Sutskever explain this.

@@makecrimeillegal4308 "You could potentially have bad actors forking it for malicious purposes" That is the most logical obvious conclusion. Humanities cultures are far from refined.

Training requires huge amount of computation, true. But running it, not. If you had access, you could literally deploy the Model on a single USB stick and do bad things.

Insane

And, so, find myself rooting for Google, even though they've already failed at not being evil as they had once promised.

as if google would be any better. i am happy Microsoft forced their hand to release it with this also forcing google to stop keeping their on hold. chat in bing is already incredible useful for my work as a programmer. and is way more useful than google something for several topics.

​@@lucaskp16 people are talking about something bigger here. Not about which product is good in its current state.

to be fair, the last model they open sourced was GPT-2. they’ve been faking the whole open source thing well before the microsoft deal

"The Microsoft vs Google AI Wars. Who will win ladies and gentlemen"!😂

yep... "open" AI... while the elites and wealthy get access to the secret version behind the scenes to control the rest of us. It's pretty obvious what's going on

All in good time and good measure

usually open source just results in making the least common denominator the standard... i.e. shit. Theres a reason why open source technology is often taken and improved upon in the private sector. One example could be Kafka being implemented privately via confluent

@@Bobbobson32 I say let's turn the tables and make every aspect of Sam and Sam's life open to the public

If OpenAI didn't accept it Microsoft could do it themselves and OpenAI could go down without enough funding. So it was a necessary evil to keep OpenAI afloat.

@@fshihab " Microsoft could do it" they did it and failed. why do u think tthey went to openai...

@@brb4903 Exactly, Microsoft and for that matter most big tech companies have consistently failed to turn their billions into products other than the ones they got big with to start with.

This is not (just) about money, for a company like OpenAI there would not be any shortage of investors. Microscoft happened to have the best cloud infrastructure for running these kinds of models and they offered a lot of compute power that most other companies cannot do.

​@@brb4903 alternate scenario : after open ai declined Microsoft's investment, open ai went bankrupt, their AI research team was hired by Microsoft, they released Microsoft ChatGPT. And now they are monopolizing market of ai.

Good old times of star ratings below RU-vid videos...

I think Altman means "old man" in german.

@@yeetdeets Like in "ancient alien)?

You can't really do any genealogy on him. My comment was deleted for hate speech on another video because I pointed something about him he said he was in a interview. The amount of information about him is scarce. If there is nothing remotely fishy about 3 brothers being giants in the tech world, I will eat my shirt. They even already have a venture investiment fund.

Sam Altman is not they guy behind ChatGPT its Ilya Syskevar the cheif scientist, and Elon Musk. Sam is just a manager , the CEO. He is not the visionary behind OpenAI, that visionary is Ilya Syskevar

Why what are the negatives? AI becoming too powerful and betraying us? What a mess we'll leave our children lol

Elon Musk is the latest billionaire to be subpoenaed in the Jeffrey Epstein Virgin Islands case. Health Impact News.

@@tubeyou6794 Sam is the guy behind the company and Ilya is the guy behind the tech. Ilya is by far the person with the best handle on how this stuff works. He is the most worth listening to. Andrej Karpathy maybe also.

@@willingparticipant regulate oposition. Hes now at the top and wants to stay at the top

He will be autistic.

@Willing Participant so hes stifling competition so he doesnt have to innovate anymore. Hes opened the door and now hes trying to set up his bouncers. so much for "open"

Bunch of bullshit takes in this thread. Attempting to corner a market with a capped profit company is fucking stupid. He's legitimately voicing his fears on some of the potential downsides of this technology. That's actually fairly transparent compared to say energy companies of yesteryear. They'd preach bald faced lies to the public while having data to back up the inverse of their public conclusion

@@lucaskp16 I'm well aware, that's what so scummy about it. I get it, I really do but its never sat right with me. Get to the top then stifle competition by outright buying it or killing it.

Your wife appreciates his contributions as well 😂

the whole video was written by Bard

What?! Devam's wife is cheating on me?

Or you could have just done what so many others have done and done it the normal way.

be especially grateful for the AI researchers actually developing this tech

Open source models are already here, water u talking about

​@@luciman9268 but can open source beat the quality of corporate funding?

@@TESkyrimizer well, I don't know if it counts as an example, but Blender is an industry-standard 3D modeling and animation program that is open source and has better support than some proprietary software.

Yeah thats the real danger. All this fearmongering about s superAI is just a distrsction from the more immediate snd real threat.

@@thefidgetspinnerofdoom AI training is like burning cash. You can train a small scale AI at home, but it wouldn't have the same general use.

One of the most important comments here and something all the dreamy eye tech nerds ready to replace their Elon hero with a new one should read carefully and follow up on.

He's also one of the chosen people, so other chosen people in the industry help him much more enthusiastically than they would've helped anyone else

@foodconnoisseur9321 Of corse there isn't, and that detail is strangely missing from all the sources I can find, but a whole lot of circumstances line up.

Lend not borrow

@@1800imawake it's incredible how so many people believe in these tech "idols" so readily. They scoff at people admiring celebrities and then they go "ooh, another 'brilliant' tech saint" after getting conned by their previous tech idol.

Oppenheimer wasn’t constantly shopping around for investors and monetizing his work. Altman isn’t a tragic figure. He’s become an opportunist and getting rich off of it.

@@matthewknudson8610 makes sense now

Except tobacco co's did everything possible to not say they knew they would kill you. The governments had to step in and mandate that. This is more akin to a grifter being ceo of a company that was most likely running out of money hence all its big billionaire investors like elon left in 2018 and decided the best way to get money to keep it going was to release it to the public and hype the hell out of it. Remember Sam is vulture, he is only after money.

But it is true.

Vehicle companies sell metal death machines, it is up to society to monitor and use properly. Computers can be used for all sorts of bad, guns, knives, anything sharp. Food, especially unhealthy food. It is up to society and the person to use tools properly and responsibly

AI is/used to be something of general interest in society. It was supposed to benefit humanity. Now, that humanity has started developing plans on possible AGIs, it's pretty much unpreventable. It's up to the Government's and other international organizations to regulate AI equally for everyone. It's not up to society. It's up to the Government's. And that's a huge difference. Society can't monitor anything really. Government's can monitor.

I am not saying you are wrong, AI developers should definitely think about the consequences of what might happen with their technology. But in general I would say it is the job of society, or more specific, the government, to monitor problems with this technology and to put in regulation about what is allowed and what is not. You would not trust/simply tell food manufacturers to only put stuff into their food that is safe to eat because even if 99% of them do not put in any harmful substances, the remaining 1% are the issue. That is why there are government agencies that monitor and regulate food safety. Similar thing with AI, even if almost all AI companies agree to not develop harmful AI programs, there will always be a few people that do not care about anything except money and companies that just somehow want to gain advantage in the market without caring about the morals. Just think about all the fake news floating around the internet even today and how much money there is in that, or catfishing and other stuff on social media, would it not be great if you could automate that with a bot that can do it to 1000 people at once? Thats why you need society and the government to step in and regulate AI and cannot just leave it to the developers.

maybe Dagogo compare it to the success of OpenAI

This is a great example of how stupid the world is. Dude built a company that sucked but still walked with 40 m's. Wonder who footed the bill for that shit investment?

I agree. How can a company flop and still exit with 43 mil? Maybe selling the customerbase or something. Perhaps someone more knowledgble here knows.

​@@EvskinA company can have many valuable resources, it's IP, Brand, Workforce, etc. Not sure what was their biggest value though, there must be some kind of evaluation report

It clearly didn't happen like that, stop spreading bs on internet.

@@randomuser5237 How did it happen?

​@@randomuser5237 Watch the video before you type. 14:46

you clearly didn't watch the whole video

Both for profit and non profit party exists at OAI with the non profit party having the final say on matters including dissolution of the for profit part when needed.

That's like most of us tho

@@user-ov2fc5sd1e you must not be a very good person if you only act decent when people are watching

People like Altman became rich and powerful by innovating in a field that was unregulated; it's how they grew their startups to success. Once in the catbird seat, they call for regulations on their industry not for the sake of safeguarding the public from any excesses, but to implement a regulatory burden that will prevent other startups in the same field from attaining a similar degree of success, thus maintaining for themselves a de facto monopoly of that field. And, yes, they primarily want regulations that don't overly burden their own already established businesses.

You mean worse and worse. Look at the video title and watch the video again and ask whether he stayed on topic. He didn't. More filler.

I don't think his motivation was altruistic. If you're using GPT3 or 4, you're helping train the model. You're feeding it even more data. THAT is the whole point about opening it up.

@@anthonymoloney3671And? Does intent matter if the outcome is inherently good? ChatGPT has given immense value to my personal and professional life. Almost priceless value.

global pandemic wasn't a hard prediction to make tons of people were saying it's coming

Yes, because an open source GPT-4 is definitely what we want China and russia to have access to.

His ego is about power. That’s the greatest problem I see.

True. Not many people are aware that we are far off General AI, these language models as amazing as they appear are simply compiling speech patterns. They are not “thinking” in the traditional sense. Like you say, once the architecture and approach changes, then the threat can go from zero to hundred very quickly.

I would argue that it isn't even correct to call what we have now as Generative AI. It's imitative AI. It copies what is available on the internet. Some of the AI art it created even had the GettyImages watermark in the picture. While humans can create new things, the AI we have now just uses the information available on the internet.

@@avarmauk even more so, this is apparent when we ask an AI (chatGPT for example) a question where it answers wrong, and it already "knows" its wrong because the first tokens led it to a "bad start", but as it is only predicting the next token, it continued down that wrong path, which it is unable to change. And then when we ask it to correct itself, it does so (it starts with a "right" set of tokens). The whole GPT architecture of "thinking" in tokens is inherently limited by its very nature. The architecture is also very bad at keeping context, it was limited to only 2k tokens, now some models have 8k tokens, while recently gpt4 got about 30k tokens. while the new mosaic model got 65k plus. this is all rapidly changing, but GPT was revolutionary by showing that AI is actually possible at all, and now when companies see that AI is "real" they are all pouring endless amounts of money on it. So a new architecture will most likely come sooner than later.

Sam Altman is not they guy behind ChatGPT its Ilya Syskevar the cheif scientist, and Elon Musk. Sam is just a manager , the CEO. He is not the visionary behind OpenAI, that visionary is Ilya Syskevar

@@Sanguen666 I agree. We have begun an AI arms race since AI has such great commercial value. This is just the beginning, in just a few years we are likely to see new AI several orders of magnitude greater than what chatgpt can currently do. I believe the likelihood of taking the “responsible” path now is slim to none. Whilst I am excited by AI, I can’t help but think an ominous future is likely at some point

I was looking for this comment 😊. Unfortunately I don't think any of the audience really cares about it.

i find It's kind of ironic that they started OpenAI because they were "scared" of what the Google Brain team could and would do, and now they're the ones who have the "F it, we have nothing to lose, and they have everything to lose" mentality.

@@ElclarkKuhuit’s human nature and power… apple Macintosh commercial 1984… apple is now the scary IBM

This!

People harm others inadvertently all the time

"why some individuals are motivated to use technology to harm people" - well it is very convenient for one. The real question is what motivates people to harm people

Otherwise, they wouldn't get that many views. So they talk about the negative side.

unless every human gets to vote, it is not a human democracy, only a small portion of humanity gets to vote and based on previous and current voting behaviour it is not benefiting humanity.

Agreed! a modern full-touch screen that also slide up to reveal a thin hidden keyboard would be amazing

Yeah, I despise modern touch interfaces. Having said that, half the problem is really the shitty software and user interface design, not just the physical hardware.

You can just connect a compact bluetooth keyboard to your smartphone when you need to type a longer text and don't have access to a computer. Or use the dictation function instead of typing...

Yea? What about after watching? Baseless claims are about as pointless as complaining about the economy.

Chatgpt is not an AGI ai - it is nothing more than a fancy search tool. It can't think, it just takes information that is already out there and pieces it together (extremely well) for you when you give it proper prompts. It has no creativity, no thinking, nothing. While there are a ton of companies out there working on real AGI's - it is a part of progress but as per usual society is way behind the speed of technology and it causes a lot of problems. UBI will not be a solution and will not work - it goes against human nature and no one would bother working - ie: we got a taste of what that would look like with the us giving out money to everyone and it wasn't pretty.

@@corail53 Once, AGI is brought to this world at some point in the future, and UBI is not working as intended. The societical upheavel will be gargantuan, the world instantly turns upside-down, and all of history will be changed forever.

i want to hear dagogo screaming at his unpaid fiver editors in his video voice. I guess we can get an ai to replicate his voice.a

So? Everyone has those.
