Sam Altman: How OpenAI Wins, AI Buildout Logic, IPO in 2026?
Q: When you think about the level of, I don't know if intimacy is the right word, but companionship people have with these bots, is there a dial that you can turn to be like, oh, let's make sure people become really close with these things, or, you know, we turn the dial a little bit further and there's an arms distance between them?
There are definitely more people than I realize that want to have, let's call it close companionship, and I think there's some version of this which can be super healthy.
Sam Altman: How OpenAI Wins, AI Buildout Logic, IPO in 2026?
Q: Can I just go back to this, maybe if commoditization is not the right word, model some, maybe parody for everyday users?
We will see new products in the major categories that are just totally built around AI rather than bolting AI in.
