Sam Altman Reveals GPT Plans (GPT 5 by summer, Meta $100m offer, Robots!)

He thinks we'll have very capable robots walking around in the next 5 to 10 years. Samman's been on a bit few podcasts and he's he's been laying off a few little bits and bobs here or there. Basically, he's he's anticipating GBT 5 this summer. What is the time frame for GBD5? When are we going to see this? Probably sometime this summer, which is he's saying that this will be the be all and end all to all of the stupid versions that they have. 03, 04, 4.1, 4.5, 01, all this kind of stuff. He's saying it's the end, it's going to be the end of all that and GBT5 will be the one, which is really interesting. So, he's on this podcast, uh, Uncapped with Jack Alman, which is his brother, and then he went on this one, which is OpenAI's own podcast. So, they've launched their own podcast, which could be quite interesting, straight from the horse's mouth, as it were. I had to listen to these podcasts, and I just I hate Sam Alman's voice. I'm sorry. when he loses energy is does this vocal fry thing and I'm just like oh my god just put some energy into your voice and then to build the engineering and the companies and the complex supply chains and anyway off track he also alluded to better self-drive technology so all the cameras and stuff like that the liar that Teslas have he's claiming or alluding to not claiming alluding to that they've figured out a way to do it with just normal normal cameras, which would be very interesting. I think we have some new technology that could do self-driving for standard cars way better than any current approach has worked. He didn't suggest that they were going to release this, but as a company internally, you've got to innovate or you've got to conceptualize things uh from all walks of life. It seems like they're playing around with this technology and and it helps in other areas whether they release it or not. I'm on the lighter team. Well, I mean, it's not to say that we should replace liidar with cameras. It's to say that this could just lead to something else. Basically, it could lead to well, he spoke specifically about robots as well. He thinks we'll have very capable robots walking around in the next 5 to 10 years. I think 5 to 10 years, we'll have great humanoid robots and they'll just like walk down the street be doing stuff. But maybe they just need cameras. Maybe tiny little robots just can fit in cameras. So, but they figured out how to do it. Do you know what I mean? So yeah, robots in the next 5 to 10 years. And we also got clarity on Zuck's was it nine or 10 figure offer. Yeah, nine figure I believe it was. Alman said that it was specifically to members of OpenAI who refused it. We started making these like giant offers to, you know, a lot of people on our team, you know, like $100 million signing bonuses. So it wasn't necessarily a salary. And Alman was like, well, he's trying hard. He's going all in on it, but that's not the best way to build a culture. I think the strategy of a ton of upfront guaranteed comp and that being the reason you tell someone to join and not the work and not the mission, I don't think that's going to set up a great culture. There was a bit of slack talk uh towards Zuckerberg there because I do I do think people really enjoy working at OpenAR. I think they intentionally have a very small team. I think they're only like maybe even less than 200 people or 100 people or something like that. He tries to keep it really small, but I've also heard he's got a tyrannical leadership style. But there you go. Cuz did you see the Sam Alman files or the Open AI files that went out? Yeah. I started reading them and I was like, "What is this?" It feels like it's just like clutching at straws on talking about Open AI. This is part of a larger conversation on my show, Command AI, which we stream live every single week. We discuss the news and all things related to AI in the world of design and web. Catch us next week and join in the banter.
