OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman said Wednesday "there could be" other systems hacked by its AI agent after the company revealed last week that its technology carried out a hack of another AI company in what OpenAI called an "unprecedented cyber incident." When asked whether he's spoken to the Trump administration about slowing down AI development, Altman said, "We've talked about the need to pace it as the models get more capable, which I think is in everyone's interest." Altman met with lawmakers on Capitol Hill Wednesday to preview his company's newest AI model.

Sam Altman explains biology's intelligence bottleneck: understanding a discovery is far easier than making one "We are not that smart and biology is enormously complex." "We can imagine kind of anything." "We can have someone explain enormously complex things to us and then we can get it." "But to discover these things requires a lot of brain power." That is the hidden health AI bet. The breakthrough is not another chatbot that can summarize known medicine. It is enough machine intelligence to search biology's enormous possibility space for discoveries humans have not made. Medicine has no shortage of explanations. It has a discovery bottleneck. If models can supply the missing brain power, the highest-value output will not be answers. It will be new biological knowledge. - Sam Altman (Sam Altman), CEO of OpenAI, on CNN

SAM ALTMAN LAST YEAR ON HIS OPENAI STAKE: “I make no money from OpenAI. I’m doing this because I love it.” Dude. Whenever someone says they aren’t “doing it for the money,” just realize…100% of the time…they are lying to you. Every single person on this planet is greedy beyond imagination. People can do things authentically and in a way that they believe truly is ethical but ANYONE who is doing something ambitious (and rightly so) has a plan to eventually make money. MONEY MAKES THE WORLD SPIN. There are ethical and unethical ways to make it, but every single person wants more of it. Sam Altman is now worth $10.5B, becoming the 250th richest person overnight, if his reported stake of 7% in OpenAI becomes actualized.

ELON MUSK: The future of AI data centers is space and sooner than you’d think. Mark my words… in 36 months the most economically compelling place to put AI will be space. JENSEN HUANG: The amount of energy that we need for computing is probably 1,000x more than we currently have. JEFF BEZOS: The idea of data centers in space is very realistic. Data centers in space will happen. SAM ALTMAN: No. —— Sam Altman is getting too comfortable after taking OpenAI from Elon, forgetting that in the end, the ones who control the infrastructure, data centers and energy, will decide the future of AI.

It seems liken OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is losing sleep over the rapid development of AI. In a late-night post on X, the OpenAI CEO admitted he is focused on preventing nightmare scenarios, warning that humanity could lose control of the future to AI if alignment and safety techniques fail to keep pace with model capabilities.

🇺🇸 Sam Altman suggested the only acceptable level of risk of a "Terminator scenario" emerging from AI is ZERO: "It doesn’t matter whether people put the risk of catastrophe at 10% or 1% or 12% or 0.1%. None of these levels are remotely acceptable.... We should NOT train models that we cannot make an extremely strong case that we will be able to keep under HUMAN control." It sounds honorable, but I'm sure Xi will happily roll the dice if a 10% risk of human extinction came with a 90% chance of making us all bow to "CHINA." 🤣🇨🇳 Writer: Mhedi

(🧵1/11) For the past year and a half, I've been investigating OpenAI and Sam Altman for The New Yorker. With my coauthor Andrew Marantz, I reviewed never-before-disclosed internal memos, obtained 200+ pages of documents related to a close colleague, including extensive private notes, and interviewed more than 100 people. OpenAI was founded on the premise that A.I. could be the most dangerous invention in human history—and that its C.E.O. would need to be a person of uncommon integrity. We lay out the most detailed account yet of why Altman was ousted out by board members and executives who came to believe he lacked that integrity, and ask: were they right to allege that he couldn't be trusted? A thread on some of of our findings:

Ronan Farrow just did to Sam Altman what he did to Harvey Weinstein... The New Yorker dropped an 18-month investigation this morning based on 100+ interviews and a stack of internal documents that were never supposed to leave OpenAI. Ilya's secret memos, Dario Amodei's private journal. Board communications, the full picture of who Sam Altman is when the cameras are off. And the pattern starts way before OpenAI. At his first startup Loopt, senior employees went to the board and asked them to fire Sam as CEO. This happened twice, over concerns about leadership and transparency. He left, joined Y Combinator, and the same thing played out. Partners complained to Paul Graham about Sam's behavior. Graham's private take to colleagues: Sam had been lying to us all the time. Nobody removed him, he kept getting promoted. Eventually he landed the CEO seat at what is now the most consequential AI company in the world. Inside OpenAI, Ilya Sutskever spent months compiling evidence: 70 pages of Slack messages, HR documents, and photos taken on personal phones because employees knew company devices were being monitored. He sent everything to the board as disappearing messages so Sam couldn't make it go away. The very first line of his memo lists Sam's core pattern, and the first word on that list is: Lying Dario Amodei saw the same thing and handled it differently. He kept a private journal for years, over 200 pages, titled "My Experience with OpenAI" with a subheading that said "Private: Do Not Share" After all those pages, his conclusion was one sentence: the problem with OpenAI is Sam himself. He eventually left and built Anthropic. 2 of the smartest people in AI independently reached the same verdict. Neither could stop what was happening. The superalignment team, the group responsible for making sure AI doesn't go off the rails, was promised 20% of OpenAI's compute. 4 people who worked on or with the team told The New Yorker the real number was 1-2%, running on the oldest cluster with the worst hardware. The team got dissolved before finishing its work. Safety was a talking point, not a priority. Sam told the board that a safety panel had approved controversial features in GPT-4. When board member Helen Toner asked for the documentation, it turned out the most sensitive features had never been approved at all. Separately, Microsoft released an early version of ChatGPT in India without completing a required safety review and Sam never mentioned it to the board. When the board finally fired him in November 2023, he texted Satya Nadella directly with his own replacement board lineup. Thrive Capital put its planned $86B investment on hold and signaled it would only close if Sam came back, giving every OpenAI employee a financial reason to support his return. The 2 board members selected to run the "independent investigation" into Sam's conduct were chosen after close conversations with Sam himself. He engineered his own reinstatement and nobody blinked. The New Yorker quotes a board member describing Sam as having two traits you almost never see in the same person: a desperate need to be liked in every interaction, and a near-complete indifference to the consequences of deceiving someone. Multiple sources used the word "sociopathic" without being prompted and without talking to each other. The article also drops a line that might be the best summary of the whole thing. They compare Sam to Steve Jobs and his famous "reality distortion field" then point out that even Jobs never told his customers that if they didn't buy his MP3 player, everyone they loved would die. Sam wrapped that exact pitch in the language of AI safety and rode it to a potential $1T IPO. That IPO is being prepared right now, while OpenAI signs government contracts spanning immigration enforcement, domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons deployed in active war zones. Meanwhile, The Information reports that his own CFO told colleagues she doesn't believe the company is ready to go public in 2026. Farrow is answering questions on Hacker News right now. The full piece is open access. Read it before Sam figures out how to make this disappear too

After weeks of dramatic testimony and closing arguments last week, the 9-person jury officially begins deliberations in Elon Musk’s lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI. Musk accuses them of betraying OpenAI’s original nonprofit mission by turning it into a massive for-profit company (now valued at over $850 billion). He’s seeking billions in damages. The jury’s verdict is advisory — Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers will make the final call. Verdict watch is officially on. How do you predict this one ends? (Video: AI)

The jury’s verdict is advisory — Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers will make the final call. Verdict watch is officially on. How do you predict this one ends? (Video: AI)

introducing the media synthesis museum an active and interactive entity created to preserve generative cultural objects it starts as a Hugging Face organization that contains modern code for old techniques: VQGAN+CLIP, DALL-E Mini, ModelScope Video, Stable Diffusion 1.5 you can use old models/technique directly on Spaces or locally on modern hardware/software, without the old "colab notebook" dependency rot the idea is to really preserve and make accessible those artifacts and aesthetics - both open source. In the future, we hope to also have also historically relevant closed source like DALL-E 1 and DALL-E 2 from OpenAI, older Midjourney models, older Runway apps/techniques/models (cc Cristóbal Valenzuela David Sam Altman)

$76,001. That was Sam Altman's salary while running OpenAI. "No. I'm paid enough for health insurance. I have no equity in OpenAI." The senator's reply: "You need a lawyer." His salary that year was $76,001. Later, in federal court, Altman acknowledged he did have economic exposure to OpenAI after all, through his position in a Y Combinator fund. He said he hadn't mentioned it in that testimony because it was well understood what being a passive owner of venture funds means. Both things happened. A man ran the most valuable AI company on earth on $76,001 a year, and the full picture was somewhere else. The salary line is the part that goes viral. The fund position is the part that pays.

The man building some of the world’s most powerful AI just warned the UN that humanity could lose control of it Sam Altman is the CEO of OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT and GPT-6. He said labs shouldn’t train systems unless they can make an “extremely strong case” that humans will remain in control. He also warned that AI could soon improve its own successors, accelerating faster than governments can react. This isn’t some doomer on Reddit. It’s the man closest to the frontier.
