Sam Altman

Senior Editor Kate Klonick interviews reporters Ronan Farrow and Andrew Marantz on their recent article in the New Yorker, titled “ Sam Altman May Control Our Future—Can He Be Trusted? ” In their 16,000-word piece, Farrow and Marantz create a cohesive narrative with receipts around Sam Altman, the products he's building at OpenAI, and how he's selling them not just to investors and the public, but also to regulators and world leaders. Klonick unpacks three key areas that are discussed in the piece: potential concerns of fraud, ongoing trust and safety and alignment issues at OpenAI, and the national security concerns that the article exposes in the "country plan" and Altman's entanglements in the Gulf. The discussion ends with a basic question: Are any of these legal issues enough to stop or correct the course of OpenAI, with its estimated $1T IPO in the coming weeks? Hosted on Acast.

📝 本期播客简介 本期我们克隆了：喜剧演员 Theo Von 的播客《This Past Weekend》 本期嘉宾是当今科技世界最举足轻重的人物之一，OpenAI 的 CEO Sam Altman。在这场堪称“终极访谈”的对话中，Sam Altman 不仅罕见地分享了他初为人父的喜悦与感悟，更以前所未有的坦诚，深入探讨了关于 AI 的一切。从 GPT-5 的惊人能力，到未来人类是否还需要工作和上大学；从“全民基本财富”的构想，到 AI 对个人隐私、社会结构乃至人类目标感的颠覆性冲击。Sam 也直面了大众最深的恐惧：AI 是否会失控？我们的未来将走向乌托邦还是反乌托邦？这不仅仅是一次关于科技前沿的科普，更是一场关于人性、未来与我们每个人命运的深刻思辨。 💻 本期嘉宾 Sam Altman，人工智能公司 OpenAI 的联合创始人兼 CEO。作为 ChatGPT 的缔造者，他被认为是当前全球 AI 革命中最核心的推动者之一。他的决策和愿景，正在深刻地影响着科技的走向和人类社会的未来。 🌟 精彩内容 ❤️ 初为人父 Sam Altman 罕见地分享了他成为新手爸爸的经历，坦言这是他一生中做过的“最棒的事”，彻底改变了他。他认为，在未来这个充满疯狂科技的世界里，那些深植于人性的东西，如家庭与爱，反而会变得比以往任何时候都更加珍贵。 “这绝对是我做过的最棒的事，远远超过其他任何事。我感觉自己完全变了个人。” 🎓 你的孩子还会上大学吗？ Sam 预测，未来的教育将发生颠覆性变化，他的孩子很可能不会上大学。他认为，对于在 AI 时代长大的孩子来说，AI 就像我们今天的计算器或谷歌，是一个让他们能更好地思考、创造和解决问题的强大工具，而死记硬背式的传统教育将失去意义。 “我的孩子，他永远不会比 AI 更聪明...但同时，他也永远不会知道一个产品和服务不比他聪明得多的世界是什么样的...我认为教育会变得非常不同。” 💰 “全民基本财富”：AI 时代的经济新构想 面对 AI 可能带来的大规模失业，Sam 提出了一个超越“全民基本收入”（UBI）的构想：“全民基本财富”（Universal Basic Wealth）。他认为，简单地发钱无法满足人们的需求，关键是让每个人都拥有对 AI 算力等生产资料的一份所有权，从而获得参与感和共同创造未来的能动性。 “我更喜欢‘全民基本财富’，而不是‘全民基本收入’...人们真正想要的还是共同创造未来的能动性。” 🔮 “我们到底造出了什么？”：直面未知的恐惧与希望 Sam 坦诚，即使是他自己，也无法预测 AI 的最终走向，并时常感到恐惧。他将 AI 的诞生比作“曼哈顿计划”，承认其存在真实的风险。但他依然保持乐观，相信人类总能找到新的目标感，并将自己置于故事的中心，AI 最终会成为推动人类进步的又一个强大工具。 “在科学史上，总有那么一些时刻，一群科学家看着自己的创造物，然后自问：‘我们到底造出了个什么东西？’” 🚀 下一场革命：超越手机和电脑的全新交互 Sam 透露，AI 正在开启继“键鼠”和“触摸屏”之后的第三次计算机革命。未来的设备将能理解你的复杂指令并主动为你执行任务。普通人将不再需要学习编程，只需用自然语言描述想法，AI 就能为你创造出完整的软件和应用，这将极大地解放人类的创造力。 “你将能够仅仅通过描述你的想法就创造出一个完整的软件，这对人类获得伟大的新事物来说将是不可思议的。” 🌐 播客信息补充 翻译克隆自：Sam Altman | This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von #599 本播客采用原有人声声线进行播客音频制作，也可能会有一些地方听起来怪怪的 使用 AI 进行翻译，因此可能会有一些地方不通顺； 如果有后续想要听中文版的其他外文播客，也欢迎联系微信：iEvenight 在小宇宙查看该单集文稿

Sam Altman is out at OpenAI. Oh, wait. He’s back. From a firing last Friday, causing shockwaves in the industry and beyond, to a subsequent rehiring yesterday, Sam Altman has kept people busy this week. What actually happened with Sam Allan at OpenAI? And what does it mean for the future of work? We've got it all covered in Future Work #62: 1. Sam Altman was out at OpenAI: The board of OpenAI shocked the world last Friday by suddenly announcing Sam Altman’s removal as CEO and board member. Sam founded OpenAI in 2015 with 11 others, including Elon Musk. Deep into the night on Tuesday, just four days later, Sam Altman was announced to be rehired. 2. Team members, investors, and partners were shocked: Altman's dismissal led to resignations from key positions like Greg Brockman as board chair, backlash from investors, a petition signed by the vast majority of OpenAI employees threatening to walk out if Altman was not rehired and the Board removed, and potential financial challenges. 3. The theory of why: The leading theory of the dismissal was that co-founder Ilya Sutskever and certain board members felt Sam’s focus was on commercializing OpenAI’s products like ChatGPT at breakneck speed – in conflict with OpenAI's mission to “ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity.” 4. The AI landscape is moving faster than ever: This event occurs against rapid advancements in AI, with generative AI technologies like ChatGPT becoming mainstream and developing at the speed of light. 5. Impact on us: In the future, AI will be embedded in most knowledge workers’ workstreams. Already, ChatGPT is used by over 70% of knowledge workers, more than double the popularity of Microsoft and Google’s AI tools. Which products OpenAI develops and how they bring them to market immediately impacts our work. I dive into all of this in this spoken version of the Future Work weekly newsletter. Rather read? Go to What Actually Happened with Sam Altman and OpenAI, and What Does It Mean for the Future of Work? // Future Work #62. In Future Work, I scan the news for must-know stories about the employee-centric, happier, distributed, and AI-driven future of work.

Last week, we interviewed Sam Altman. Since then, well, everything has changed. The board of OpenAI, maker of ChatGPT, fired Altman as chief executive on Friday.
