Do you know The Lex Fridman Podcast? If not, we can recommend it. It’s about science, technology, history, philosophy and the nature of intelligence, consciousness, love, and power. Lex Fridman is a research scientist at the MIT Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS).
In 2024, the Boston Globe reported that the podcast had attracted 3.6 million subscribers.
Here’s his conversation with Sam Altman, his second time on the podcast.
They talk about the board saga, the Elon lawsuit, Ilya, Sora, GPT-5, $7 trillion in compute, open source, and his plans for artificial general intelligence (AGI):
- Altman said GPT-4 is not as good as GPT-3 and GPT-5 will be better.
- He also said Sora can understand and create new worlds, which is the first step towards AI supporting robots in the real world.
- Computers will replace fiat currencies and become the world’s most valuable asset.
Why is this important? It’s unusual to hear unfiltered opinions from a globally influential CEO. The last time Altman worked with Lex, we got GPT-4. He talks like he knows big releases are on the way. To see the whole discussion, look at the video:
