Sam Altman: RSI, AI Consciousness, OpenAI's New Hardware, Compute, and more!

Do you believe today's models are conscious? >> I want to be clear. No one really knows. Can I say what I don't like about the whole framing? >> Should it ever be allowed to not answer or disengage with me? I think this is a technology that wants a new form factor. Some lab says I'm going to push the

button on RSI to make sure we have the power. I think if people really pushed on RSI, then yes, that would be true. But I think it's a very dangerous thing to push on. Do you believe that >> curing or treating a major disease? And I would hope we have the candidate for

that the next couple of years. >> Where do you feel the most pressure right now? >> I mean, it feels like everywhere. >> We should be shooting more for a new renaissance than a new industrial revolution. The future has to be about people. >> All right, Sam, thank you so much for joining me.

>> Yeah, thank you. So, the first thing I want to talk about are some of the announcements that you made last week about all of the math proofs and and the discoveries. And I think it seems incredible, but maybe you can contextualize it for a broader audience who may not be in the weeds. I think we

are entering the era where AI is going to help us discover significant new knowledge. Um, and we've been talking about this for a long time and I, you know, maybe started earlier this year, but now it's really like, okay, the AI is doing very difficult things, figuring out very complicated, important uh, new knowledge. And

I believe that the same thing that has worked here for math is going to work for biology, help us get new medicines, material science, you know, help us get new sources of energy and much more. So, this is one of the things I've always been most excited about. I think this is going to do an enormous amount to really
