  • Idiots

    If I ever met any of these people in real life, I would make their day extremely unpleasant. Dismantle this company and arrest everyone.

  • Getting it all wrong

    These people all sound so smart, but they fundamentally fail to understand - even with all the data and tools available - that economic growth is not the key to human happiness and prosperity.

    The podcast brings some amazing insight into how OpenAI and ChatGPT works and functions. I love hearing their ideas and ideas for the future. These engineers are brilliant.

    I just hope they enable the camera for ChatGPT to see video or a live chat. I love my subscription!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 15 - Inside the Model Spec
Q: How does the model spec translate into training and actual model behavior, and what does the hierarchy look like when things conflict?
The model spec guides high-level decisions and is complemented by training methods like deliberative alignment; when conflicts arise, the chain of command determines whether OpenAI, developer, or user instructions take precedence, and policies are implemented at the lowest necessary level to preserve steerability.
Episode 7 - Live from DevDay
Q: What was your reaction so far to Dev Day?
A ton of fun, a lot of things to be excited about that help us build, but also help students and teachers be more creative.
Episode 1 - Sam Altman on AGI, GPT-5, and what’s next
Q: If you had to give advice to a 25-year-old, what would you say?
Learn how to use AI tools; skills like resilience and creativity are also important.
Episode 1 - Sam Altman on AGI, GPT-5, and what’s next
