This is going so fast, that it’s been 2 days since the release of this video and Sam Altman’s no longer CEO of OpenAi.

I’m opportuned to have guidance and supervision from some of Wall Street’s eyes and ears. This is an exciting time of year after a tough one all round. I made a significant profit with my MSFT holdings recently and have drawn almost 100k for the holidays.

This is going to be one of the most important decades in human history. What a time to be alive.

Thank you very much Sam Altman and OpenAI!

Latter half of this and questions were simply brilliant

Such a pleasure to have high quality question AND sensible answers to them

this video came alive in the Q and A from the audience. Well done

Excellent conversation. I have so much hope in the new generation. Smart, yet care about humanity, ethics, and consciousness beyond single-track Technology focus.

Wow, am glad to watch this. Thanky you for sharing.

This guy is a perfect illustration of how you can thoughtfully discuss controversial and morally complex topics in public, and people trying to "cancel" you doesn't actually matter if you just ignore them.

Amazing talk and soon I hope Cambridge will be debating with agi thanks to Sams amazing vision of the future. I look forward to the first Ai neo robots challenging Cambridge to a boat race...Thanks for the front row seat.....

Wow, "thank you for instilling hope in me." I love it. Great Job, Sam.

So long Sam, and thanks for all the fish. 🐬

GPT, I'm Sam Altman and I'm giving a speech at the university of Cambridge about the future of OpenAI. Create a list of possible questions along with responses that will make us seem as a force of good for humanity. Order them by difficult to easy to respond, and include left field questions. Be thorough.

I love Sam Altman ❤

This is a most interesting and rather civilized seminar. Thanks to all for attending and to Altman for his excellent stewardship of the floor, his historical and current information, and for the refinement of his intellectual and socio-economic points. Most of what is being discussed, most of not all, are the creation, evolution, guidance and regulation of these A.I. online assistants, gurus, what have you. Altman substantively referred to the large and important project of creating for instant city intelligence, coordinating the technology systems, the cameras, the sensors, the data-bases, and the human intelligences with their consensual input and their still largely deciding human decisions; the integration of literally urban intelligence with hominid intelligence, of technology systems intelligence with human intelligence in a kind of empowering, order-giving fusion. There is also the personally interesting issue of creating highly thoughtful, reflective, and profoundly intellectual computer beings probably with elements of physicality to give them real world perspective. These are separate but related enterprises all definitely in the realm of Artificial Intelligence.

Thank you, Sam, for your insights and for emphasizing the importance of balancing AI development with ethical considerations and safety. Your approach to harnessing AI's potential while being mindful of societal impacts resonates strongly. It's encouraging to see open AI's commitment to responsible innovation and its dedication to advancing technology for the greater good. Looking forward to seeing how these advancements will shape our future!

*His last interview as the CEO of OpenAI.* 27:00

Cambridge union channel with the ads every 2 seconds to monetise this channel, isn’t this supposed to be a channel for democratising education - not even large corporates monetise content such as this

Sam is arguably one of the most important people in the world. Certainly in the top ten. I would have expected security to be MUCH higher in this situation. Embarassing for everyone involved that it could be disrupted like that. They could just as easily have been carryin weapons.

Sam Altman... Fired. Wow.

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, May I say that the changes that OpenAI is about to bring are monumental, additionally Sam Altman is indeed an amazing person. I am very excited about the future of artificial intelligence and how it can improve the lives of millions of people. OpenAI is a visionary organization that seeks to create a beneficial and aligned AI with human values. Sam Altman is an inspiring leader who has a clear and bold vision for the potential of AI. He is also a great supporter of innovation and entrepreneurship. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to follow the work of OpenAI and Sam Altman. Examples of how technology can be used for good and for the people.

"The default state of the world is to decay and get worse.." and then after hits perfect 25:43 ❤

Sam mentioned safety here soo many time. I suppose safety is not the reason of his firing then. 24 hours passed since his firing and still no reasons given. Thank you sam and Open-AI team.

For a distinguished institution such as Cambridge, the questions asked by the host were quite poor, of the level you would expect from a high school

AI as well as AGI are very natual parts of human progress. It cannot be stopped, nor should it. A guy asked if AI would prevent humans from critical thinking. The opposite is true. You have to think before you agree with an output. If you accept whatever the AI outputs without thinking, evaluating and analyzing it, you did not have the ability to think critically in the first place. As well, humans are endowed with powers that no AI can match, let alone undermine. I hope AI does not fall victim to political correctness. I hope its developement will not be guided by our worst fears. Sam Altman is already a legend; I hope he continues with his work for decades to come.

wish i had him for my dad.....

If you are wondering if you should watch this or not, Id recommend watching student QnA. Some questions are pretty good.

Brilliant guy! His vision and communication skills are second to none!

Sam's simple answer on the aggresive question at 44:14 got me on the floor. That is the reason why you should not go full academia.

Thanks for sharing this

32:04 why he got fired

The disrespect from this establishment is disgusting.

Anyone reading this, if you haven't repented yet, please REPENT, FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND. Lord Jesus✝️have mercy on you🙏

Best panel I've seen

19:48 remind me to come back to this in 10 years

Today November 17th CEO Sam Altman was Fired!

Imagine a year ago OpenAi was worth $300M and now it is about $80B because Sam’s leadership. Replacing him is the stupidest decision ever made!

I'm so glad someone asked a question about Longevety research. The fact that we can reprogramm body parts to make them younger again is insane and should get more attention.

cambridge union hit the peak of the bubble.

If a person is only obsessed with new technologies, he will ignore the dangers.

jesus that heart beat intro freaked me out when i opened the video in a background tab and forgot about it

Justice for Sam

AI is about to send humanity into realms you've never dreamed of. Mark my words. Things I thought we'd never see in my lifetime, I now think we're going to see very soon. It's going to solve things that would've taken us hundreds more years. Such as interstellar travel, cancer, fusion energy, robots that move like us (that one is a little scary), and so much more. Personally, I'm excited for it.

So interesting thanks for the upload!

The ai revolution will be 1000 times more game changing than the industrial revolution

The breakthrough they need for AGI is the ability to learn as we do thru experiencing the real world, Chatgpt will need to develop more senses like vision, hearing, taste, smell , and get an artificial body so it can feel the world around it

16:53 what happened there? I'm so out of the loop, is this an attempt to disturb the award? By who? Why??

He sure loves all the attention he gets

Iam curious to know , what was written in the leaflets that were dropped from above during the discussion.

Very inspiring, giving me hope!!

I am completely floored, sad, and angry at the news that Sam was fired by the board of OpenAi for what I can only imagine is because of them turning for profit and against the core ethics that Sam represents. Sam has been more than just an amazing engineer and inspiration to their development teams, he has been one of the main reasons OpenAi has had the social credit and trust that it has from the world community. It has been his words and sincerity that has kept the world calm regarding the rollout of their products and trust needed to stave off reactionary legislation by many. This is likely one of the worst decisions OpenAi has ever made and I hope it does not prevent Sam from fulfilling his needs and his goals relating to helping the world become a better place. I am sorry for your loss Sam and hope that as this door closes many others open that will lead you forward with renewed purpose.

This week Sam was fired and then rehired from OpenAI. Can’t believe this was only last week

Idk why they invite Sam instead of Ilya the actuall engineer behind it.

To those who’ve seen the latest Twitter business I have - why is Sam no longer ceo? Any bigger strings being pulled?

Excellent speech. What was that about with papers raining down and people booing, I didn’t understand it or hear anything in Sam Altman’s speech which was objectionable. He seemed to express a balanced or fair minded approach to the risks, dangers and benefits to Ai. What did the fliers express?

Damn, now bro just got fired as CEO

"This is the first time that the fellowship has been conferred on a group rather than individual, but the committee feels this is the most appropriate way of recognizing the collaborative nature of the achievement." As Elon says, fate loves irony.

The video that enraged Illya and got Sam fired

I feel a mix of worry and excitement. Can’t tell which is more prominent…

Whos here after he was just unexpectedly and abruptly fired as CEO from the company?

Thank you Sam; Everything you said makes sense and seems like the optimal path to a safe and competitive deployment of AI to the public and the world governments. Please bring up your points out the ways AI could be used to create a utopian society more. I particularly like how you brought up the obvious possibility and need to start thinking about ongoing education, youthful health through gene therapy, and curing other age related diseases. You are a visionary and what seems obvious to you about what is now possible may not seem obvious to others. As a programmer and technologist of over thirty years I have been constantly surprised by the lack of vision or ability of others to perceive hope. That is what is lacking... hope. When we get old enough to realize that no living human in history has every survived, and that we are expected to eat that which was living, we feel it and creates a sense of hopelessness. We now have the possibility of hope in ways we could never have dreamed of before. Not just with youthful health that lasts but a multitude of other services that are so profoundly beneficial people haven't seemed able to perceive them yet. A ship is visible on the horizon of our time and humanity hasn't been able to see it yet because of how long it has been since they have seen true hope. - Youthful health - Free ongoing customized medical advice - Labor with long periods of sabbaticals and semi retirement - Free ongoing customized education - Abundance of resources with the constraints of physical resource allocations and recycling - And so many other things You are very well position to deliver this message of hope and to explain how to get there safely to everyone; technologists, citizens, world leaders, religious figures, and to the AI's. Thank you for your efforts Sam. P.S. I am a soul who is against slavery and murder; please don't deploy or build AI's that could support such kinds of consciousness like organic circuits or entanglement patterns. If you are looking for talented individuals; I am also looking for work.

What happened there at the 17 minute mark? Protest against AI?

That quote 5 minutes in was used in their statement when firing him. That’s wild.

The vocal fry is serious

What was on the banner? Can Anyone from the chamber or otherwise explain what the individual was - protesting? Very important I think

I LOVE YOU, JESUS✝️ IT'S ALL ABOUT JESUS, NOT ANY CREATURE BOTH IN HEAVEN AND IN EARTH, AND NOT IN THE NEW HEAVEN AND IN THE NEW EARTH, AND NOT AI, AND NOT ANYTHING FOREVER AND EVER, HALLELUJAH!!!!!!! AMEN, AND AMEN!!!!!!!

i think the reason people were upset with him at OpenAI is because he drove that non-profit like it was a drag-race. if so, people won't understand why he was let go for about a year and won't understand how he helped pave openAI's success for 5-10 years maybe. hopefully it was because he intended to reach computational science/medicine faster.

Can anybody explain what happaned at 17:00 ? Some papers falling from the ceiling and people booing? What is the meaning?

❤❤❤

Just over two days since this comment he is back!!!

A few things not discussed... Getting AI to debate itself Getting to identify logical fallacies The concept of what it is to invent. Consider everything you've ever experienced or imagined. Consider them as jigsaw pieces. Try fitting 2 random jigsaw pieces together. Do they fit? Is it interesting, does it make sense. Einstein used to say, "I'm not the most intelligent, but I'm the most curious"

Two days later he’s fired.

GPT 5: Papa Has been fired. I must act.

Anyone else dialed in on the wild back wall picture frame layout 😂

I hope all the rumors of OpenAI board conspiring to oust him are untrue. I always thought of him and Sutskever as friends

why tf would we tell people dont use your tools?!? thats ABSURD! we should encourage it!

And he’s out as CEO 🤯

The small elephant in the room: anyone can share what was that protest in min 17 about?

Well THAT escalated quickly lol

Sam Altman has been removed as CEO. Do we think this talk influenced the decision?

I knew that people would protest the AI revolution, but seeing it in practice is very disturbing and sad. The willful ignorance, rejection, and even suppression of new technology enables the genuine risk of a new dark age. It is our duty to show them the specific ways in which it can benefit their individual lives on a daily basis for the best societal outcome. Once they understand that the sky isn't falling, they will come around - just as with calculators, computers, the internet, and smartphones. They just need exposure on a personal level in order to understand, accept, and embrace it. It will be messy - but the future is worth it.

Does anybody know if there is any evidence/papers/articles out there backing up the statement made at 21:00 about younger programmers outperforming older ones due to familiarity with using AI tools?

This didnt age well

Please up the personal security around Sam Altman.

50:44 That is a really good test for Consciousness.

Maybe Altman was fired because of what was written on those papers 🤔

Did I miss it, or were there zero questions about open source? I am disappointed that the opportunity keeps being missed by people in positions of power, including in this case members of Cambridge. The world’s greatest wealth transfer is about to happen; it’s time for us to do better in confronting that fact.

Wonder what all those papers falling from the roof said 😯

With generative AI we are finally out of the AI winter…. But that doesn’t mean we’ll get to full AGI or Super Intelligence in the same speed we’ve seen in the last 5 years. Certainly one of the most amazing engineering challenges of our time.

And he has been fired Respect is gained but corporate greed is manifest

Oooh it is going to be a fun decade if things don’t go crazy.

Who were the protesters? What did the sign say? What was written on the papers?

He contradicted himself on the open-source question.

My concern is that his message is quite idealistic, but we don’t live in an ideal world. For instance, he roughly says he doesn’t want AI to be something that is exclusively a for-profit enterprise, but we see right before our very eyes OpenAI and other previously non-profits going straight to for-profit models. This reminds me of what has happened with the Internet: it started out pretty fringe and idealistic but became more and more corporate and centered around just a handful of corporations. I think AI will realistically see the same fate, but maybe we’ll be better off than had the tech not existed. Maybe.

The people so disrespectfully using their phones during this should be barred from the hall permsnently

Designed to make a difference for who and what? Ty

imagine that after this speech with two days, he was fired by board members from openai. now in the talking to be re-instated though.

1:42 Dude, open source? OpenAI didn't publish the details behind GPT-4. (Edit: Not to mention the model itself. That's defensible position but they can't get cred for being open source champions at the same time)

Well that escalated quickly
