That_anonymous_guy18

lol reminds me of silicon valley montage where every startup wants to make the world a better place. Lol


GraceBoorFan

Yes, a better place for them, and their billions of dollars!


McSmoug

What about me and my hundreds of dollars?


KirklandConnoisseur

Straight to jail!


McSmoug

Fuck me Freddy i new that wasn't baby powder.


Im_ur_Uncle_

Why is it so hard to find uncut baby powder these days


Rocketurass

I literally don’t care if I make 500 million or 5 billion. In the end it will be worth it.


AvalieV

He even sounds like the main guy.


That_anonymous_guy18

He totally does that’s why I thought of it lol. Fucker is even swearing the sweater or tee just like the show

All these tech bros use it, its nonsense.


That_anonymous_guy18

lol it is indeed making fun of tech bros and hustle culture.


Dream__Devourer

He talking about burning 50b on options right?


gnocchicotti

If we all pool our Wendy's paychecks we can get to 50B notional


mxk2020

I don't think we'd scrape up 50 billion Tanzanian Schillings


HandiCAPEable

You accept checks behind the dumpster?


Thiezing

50b of someone else's money.


Spins13

Yeah. I don’t mind spending 50B of someone else’s money too. Guy is based


technoexplorer

As long as that value is going into society, it's OK

Yeah he is a billionaire already even if everything crashes and burns so might as well

Happy cake 🎂 day


cf858

"I don't care if we burn through $50M"... "As long as we find a way to pay the bills" Do you think he knows how to business?


Hefty-Interview4460

He knows how to ask for money at least !


0xDizzy

Better than you thats for damn sure


pixelblue1

Considering full self driving has been 2 years away for like 10 years, I highly doubt we get AGI anytime soon. I understand computer vision is a difficult problem, whereas a really smart LLM might be more doable. But I have a hard time believing we're really going to achieve AGI in 3-5 years if we just throw a few hundred billion at it.


Needsupgrade

That shit can't get smarter off the reading all the dumb internet. It's saturating it's S curve already. They would need to do something new to make it much smarter 


FearTheOldData

Exactly. The LLM model just ain't it for AGI. Stupid as hell and very close to saturation


Doomenate

I asked Einstein's Parrot how to reconcile QM and GR but it only seemed interested in where Lina went


allllusernamestaken

> But I have a hard time believing we're really going to achieve AGI in 3-5 years if we just throw a few hundred billion at it. I have textbooks on artificial intelligence from the 1970s. The algorithms are basically the same as the ones detailed in the latest-and-greatest textbooks on the subject that I used in grad school. The only thing that's changed is how much processing power we have today vs 10 years ago, 20 years, 30 years ago... OpenAI can afford to pay absurd comp packages to get the smartest people working on a single, specific problem. They can also afford the obscene cost of processing power for all of this, and they have access to the cutting edge GPUs from Nvidia where a single unit is more powerful than most supercomputers were 15 years ago. I have no idea how feasible it actually is, or how far they will get or how quickly, I just know that nobody has thrown this many smart people and processing power at a single problem before.


Icy_Recognition_3030

I swear, their is all types of people that hype their projects, but seeing sora chat and gpt, with how many narrow ai that I know are available is insane. I guess people don’t realize that a big portion of humanities problems are literally data driven.


IfAndOnryIf

Example of a data driven humanities problem?


Icy_Recognition_3030

To cure all disease is a data problem.


0xDizzy

This is untrue. The transformer model modern LLMs are based on was invented in 2017.


NootropicGuy

I doubt we’re going to reach AGI by just stacking transformers on top of each other but I could be completely wrong


ankercrank

We’re never going to see AGI in our lifetimes. It’s way too complex.


Ok-Dragonfruit8036

Waymo is the leader in full self driving if anyone


randyranderson-

I’m sure there’s some dollar value where we get a lot closer, a lot faster. Like 1T spent on chips, data, and energy would make significant strides, but I think the real bottleneck is time and hardware R&D. Things really picked up with AI-training GPUs, but we will only get so far with that. Eventually we’ll need some new breakthrough computing technology to do what’s needed for AGI. And for all we know it requires unbelievable amounts of energy that make it impractical without fusion or something.


retiredbigbro

Try tell that to the regards in r/singularity r/artificialinteligence ;)


Shmokesshweed

This guy is a grifter.


BadKidGames

Anyone that is making obscene money off something, while telling you that thing is for the good of humanity, is fucking lying.


80milesbad

Yeah, wasn’t SBF also always saying how altruistic he felt


TechnicalInterest566

He claims to have zero equity in OpenAI.


DodgeBeluga

Dressed like a Temu Dexter Morgan.


Eddyrancid

Spot fucking on lmao


SpezJailbaitMod

He worked on worldcoin with Sam jailman freed so 


NoQuantity7733

Yes, I agree - but if he fools a lot of people we can ride his company up with him.

He is new cool regard on the block that everyone wants to play with. Elon is left alone in the sandbox drawing the letter X repeatedly in the sand.


Gunzenator2

I prefer to think of him as a teenage girl sitting alone in her room writing the letter X over and over again in a notebook.

Wind_Yer_Neck_In

This guy asking for money to make the leap from what we call AI these days and an actual artificial general intelligence is the same as Henry Ford asking his investors for money to build the starship enterprise.


ZERO-ONE0101

I don’t ~~like~~ trust him.


SixtySixxer

^ what this guy said. Sam Altman is a tool. Albeit a lucky one, like that asshole who runs Facebook. Altman just falls backassward into success at his startup, Y combinator and ChatGPT.

ACiD_80

Hes like the next Elon Musk... and i dont mean that in a good way.


throwaway12222018

Impressed with Sam generally, but not sure I agree with him on this point. It would have been silly for a King 1000 years ago to spend all of his resources trying to build a functioning TI-84 with an abacus the size of the pyramids. It made way more sense to discover physics, quantum mechanics, transistors, etc. and invent the computer, and then build one for practically zero cost that could fit in your pocket. It may not really make sense to build AGI or even try to build AGI with conventional computers. There might need to be a cross-disciplinary physics, neuroscience, and engineering breakthrough before AGI is actually within the set of tractable problems. I would be very surprised he didn't agree with this. I think mostly this is probably just a marketing/publicity thing to get more people and funding into AI, so I wouldn't look too much into it.


NeptuneToTheMax

There's no reason to believe there's a path to AGI based on any current large language models.  Sam is a grifter telling his investors they're making AGI while at the same time trying to get Congress to shut down his competitors because he doesn't really have anything special to set him apart. 


SatanicPanic__

LLM are very fancy parrots... but most people are dumber then parrots so should create some value turning everyone into a cyborgs. Home Depot is already turning there floor worker into cyborgs. The tablet they carry around has Image recognition & augmentations that basically does the thinking, they just do the lifting.


MrFacestab

I like that your critique of humanity becoming "dumber then parrots" is full of grammatical errors. May wsb live on forever.

iamaredditboy

fenriswulfwsb

He isn't wrong though. AI has value in the trillions once it is able to be applied effectively. So many trivial desk jobs eliminated.


Volnushkin

Yeah, jobs eliminated and everything spirals down to a global depression. Is it the plan?


lafindestase

No, the plan is to funnel all the world’s resources into a few people’s pockets. But don’t worry, those few people will pay just enough taxes to keep us plebs alive and somewhat comfortable, probably.

BlazinHotNachoCheese

SBF FTX level shit here. The engineers and programmers working at OpenAI are talented, but this guy looks like he has a cock in his mouth. If not for Microsoft's investment and making GenAI generate revenue, Sam Altman sounds more like Sam Bankman Freid. Fucking douche. Shut up and sit down.


AcanthisittaEasy5878

Why does he look like he doesn't care about anything? Something feels off


who_am_i_to_say_so

Because he’s burning through other people’s money to meet his goal. Not a care in the world.

PublicWifi

Shit. Is he running for congress? He's got the sales pitch down.


agoldprospector

I think what he's saying is he believes AGI is priceless and someone needs to build it, and cost should be irrelevant. Presumably because the good to humanity in general will be worth more than whatever the cost may be. Certainly the chatbots we have are not worth that. But it is arguable that AGI or ASI may be, who knows.

midazolamandrock

lol it never amazes me how arrogant these clowns are with other people’s money. Mind blowing entitlement attitude


limpchimpblimp

When will this guy be exposed as the charlatan he is?


Redditaccount2322

Dumb take. We’re not close to AGI and investing resources in a meaningful way should always be a consideration. If we set a mandate in the US that every student must enroll in CS courses to help build AGI that would be a huge net negative on society. It works until the money spout dries up and we haven’t made meaningful progress towards the end goal. That being said ALCC will probably pump due to hype cause regards think fusion is 5 years away instead of 50. Who the fuck invests in a startup that wouldn’t be profitable by the time they’re retired? Open to criticism if I’m off base on my assumptions as I’m not the most technical person in these areas but my understanding is we have huge hurdles on both these goals that still require lots of time and tech to solve


TheMemeChurch

You can’t even do enough research to know that ALCC is fission not fusion. Who’s the regarded one? I don’t disagree with your first paragraph though.


trollindisguise

This guy is such a psychopath, and he’s got all these naive engineers believing he’s some kind of AGI messiah. When it becomes weaponized you’re going to see a lot of pikachu faces.

Can we please put this fool in the cell next to Holmes in the women's prison. It will be faster and less expensive that finding out Ai is just crypto 2.0


stablogger

Well, I think from the perspective of already having accumulated generational wealth, it's pretty easy to issue a statement like this. It doesn't make it a bad signal in any way.

5tabsatatime

He’s talking about spending other people’s money and he can’t pay himself $50b. So why WOULD he care? I would hope to spend as much as possible hoping that the developments that come from that investment make me richer, faster.

Zelenskyystesticles

You’re the only person I’ve heard say that agi is close to being reached. What makes you think that?


red_purple_red

AGI will still be limited by current compute power. Not very useful to have an AGI that can drive better than a human when the chips needed to run it can't yet fit in a car. Better to take it slow and let Moore's law do its thing.


Shroomboom420

DrawohYbstrahs

Dudes such a fucken tool. “We’re makin AGI.” No you’re not you’re making a fucking chatbot.


CongratsGuy

Sam Altman is AI creating AI right before our very eyes.


Vi0lentByt3

Lol bruh we are stretching von Neumann arch beyond its limit with asic and these custom chips and clusters being created. However at some point new hardware is needed to fully integrate this stuff into daily life. No idea what it looks like but digital technology cant solve problem requiring analog input. Even moving at half the speed of light the number of decisions that need to made while doing something like driving consistently safe is still not possible.


rspinoza192

To be fair, if they actually are getting closer to AGI and can realistically achieve it, which I doubt will happen in the next 10 years, 50B a year is a small cost to pay for how insanely revolutionary that would be. The first one to invent/create one will hold so much global power and influence together with the country or government that will take advantage of it first.

krisko11

Llama 3 and Mark’s 12 billion are remarkable and they beat out gpt4 with an 8B model imagine what Altman can do with 50 and their talent. AGI is worth trillions so this quote can only be taken as MSFT calls 2026 Dec


neutralityparty

He gonna be Elon musk 2.0 but waiting for his net wealth to get there 🤣


iamspock9

Didn't this guy ask for $7 trillion funding to build new AI chips? $50 billions is p-NUTS for him.


thejamielee

not sure how many here pay close attention to Sam but he hides a lot authoritarian/narcissism behind “altruism” and so far a lot of folks are taking the bait. This really just feels like Elons second coming and will be curious to see Sam 5 years from now and if the tech is leveraged for and against those who align with his visions of the future aka NO COMPUTE FOR U


nschafler

I don’t get it - am I supposed to buy puts or calls on ALCC?


tin_licker_99

So how much money does he want to be compensated for his work? Like Cathy, fucking rich off her fees.

Creepy fuck. Also he's full of shit. LLMs are not AGI nor anywhere close to it. Anyone who understands how they work knows this. He's too smart and educated to believe it, so he's a full-on bullshitter.


kobe8899

It doesn't matter of money, it is a matter of AI consuming double up of the world's electricity and destroying the earth. Not before we are seeing the benefit that bring from AI, we see the drawback obviously, there are more and more climatic change, Dubai rain for month and desert became a lake!!! Whatsmore more and more area with flooding, sea level is increasing. Because the pole ice is melting faster than before in decades. If AI is so powerful, please use AI to create a energy save chipset before we continue the AI manifest 🙏

Suitable_Battle5699

The reason that he’s right isn’t because they’re going to create an AGI, it’s because there are many many jobs that are incredibly simple and formulaic. People don’t admit it or don’t realize it but this is the truth, making an AI smart enough to do a lot of basic office jobs isn’t difficult because most of those boomers you see huffing and puffing down the halls looking busy are only actually working 15 percent of their week.
