Gm. I read a crazy article yesterday about people holding up to 8 different “full-time” jobs. I’ve never done something like that (I’ve never even had one “full-time” job), but have you?

A Peek At OpenAI’s Roadmap
Big news coming to you from the mouth of Sam Altman.
GPT-5 is in training as we speak. Don’t worry, you’re not dreaming.
Altman was coy about what GPT-5 might look like or when it might come out, these things are hard to predict to be fair, but he did say that GPT-5 will require more data to train than past models.
This would explain why OpenAI is seeking help building AI datasets, and it’s definitely why Altman says they are planning and hoping to raise a lot more over time from investors, including Microsoft.
Training our future overlords isn’t cheap, after all.
Besides GPT-5, Altman also:
Reiterated that AGI is the end goal for OpenAI.
Expects the “brutal” AI chip crunch to ease next year. Maybe Nvidia’s new chips can help out here.
Confirmed that OpenAI is currently unprofitable, but “revenue growth has been good this year”.
Let’s just hope we don’t have to wait as long from the end of training to release for GPT-5 as we did for GPT-4.
The AGI Committee: GPT-5 is another step in the long march toward AGI, which will only be declared complete when OpenAI’s six-member board says it is.
