Sam Altman’s OpenAI succession plan

OpenAI's CEO just conducted a wide-ranging profile with Forbes, revealing a succession plan that involves handing the company to an AI model, AGI commentary with a strange response from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and more.

Altman said a succession plan to “hand off the company to an AI model”, arguing if the goal is AGI that can run companies, his own should be first in line.

He also said OpenAI “basically have built AGI” with Nadella pushing back on that claim also referring to the Microsoft / OpenAI relationship as “frenemies”.

Forbes reported that Altman “has stakes in more than 500 companies with employees privately worrying about OAI’s push to do “too much too quickly.

He also commented on the drama with Elon Musk, saying it’s “crazy to me how much time he spends attacking us” and criticizing xAI’s own safety issues.
