Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, made some interesting comments recently about GPT-5.
It seems they are being interpreted heavily and it seems to me that some are reading a bit too much into the comments…
…so, I decided to do my own reading into the comments lol.
Approximate Transcription:
Hi, this video is about what Sam Altman said about GPT. Five and what some of the reactions are to it. And then some interpretations on what what it really means for GPT five going forward. So there’s a video and I’ll put a link to the video in this tweet, and then an article. So you can read it all if you want. And watch this quick video where Sam Altman calls into this Lex Friedman’s event. And he says, We are not currently training GPT five, we’re working on doing more things with GPT four. So I watched another video where someone said that this means meant that they’re not working on GPT. Five, that’s not the same thing to me. Because you can work on the algorithm or the model without training it. I think although the the logic, I know that the code for it is supposed to be pretty simple. So maybe there’s not a lot of work to be done there. Or maybe they are kind of working on it by also working on GPD. Four by solving things with GPT. Four, those are solutions that they can take and apply to GPT. Five, I don’t think this pushes the timeline out. I don’t think this is should be interpreted as they’re they’re trying to put a pause on things to let you know to hear keyed the call of those other people from about a month ago. And actually Lex Friedman. I’m sorry. Sam Altman comments on that in this video, he says basically something to the effect of like, hey, they have some valid points. But then there’s some other things like that he thinks that the it’s technically not not not very accurate. I still think we’re on track for like a GPT 4.5, excuse me, sort of COVID GPT 4.5. In in may be late this year, early next year, and then GPT, five, maybe about two years out. That’s based upon just the history obviously, that’s that’s a wild guess. But some people seem to also be interpreting this as either a lie, I don’t think it’s a lie, have found Sam Altman to be extremely straightforward in every single thing. And I’ve watched a lot of his stuff in terms of, you know, just telling it like he sees it and calling it like he sees it and not he’s, you know, not he’s kind of political about it. But he’s not afraid to say I disagree with someone, or this is what we want to do. And so, you know, I think that this isn’t him trying to be like, Oh, we’re not really working on it when they are. But the fact that they’re not training it is isn’t too surprising. It isn’t like big news, and I don’t really doubt him. I’m genuinely curious. What do you think? Do you think he’s, look at this poll right here on Twitter that a lot of people doubt him? Do you doubt him? Do you think it’s true? What do you think in terms of what this means? Because I’m very curious what you what you have to say. Well, anyway, this is a quick update. If you liked this video, like and subscribe for more awesome AI videos. Thanks. Have a great day. Bye.
