I'm only about 55 minutes in.
A Really interesting reply was given on "will AI take every programmers job". He said that thirty years ago Deep Blue beat the best chess players but people are still playing chess. Perhaps more people.
This is fun to listen to.

I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the conversation between Lex Fridman and Sam Altman about ChatGPT! The point Sam Altman made about AI and programmers' jobs is indeed fascinating. It's a great reminder that while AI can excel in specific tasks, it often complements human capabilities rather than replacing them entirely. The comparison to Deep Blue and chess is an excellent analogy. Keep enjoying the discussion; there's always something insightful to discover in these AI conversations!
Meh, until AI can paddle a real live canoe, my summer-camp job will be safe.
Fridman' s podcast is banned in my garage. It's so interesting that I can't focus on what I'm trying to do in the garage

Am I the only one who thinks that this response sounds like either a PR guy or an AI itself?

But was it really Sam Alton?
Thanks for sharing. I appreciate the fact that throughout the interview both Sam and Lex gave thoughtful, introspective answers to each question--particularly to questions that many people would just answer matter-of-factly.
I found Lex's comments at 2:17 very poignant. Digital technology's impact on society has been unpredictable. As a global community we all seem to be becoming both more homogenous in our lifestyle and entertainment, yet more divided in our ideologies. This dichotomy makes the future very hard to predict.
The comments at 2:21 (how a global intelligence is what the whole history of humanity has been working toward) struck a chord with me that makes me deeply uncomfortable.
We live in interesting times.
