🥚 10 Takeaways You Should Know - from Sam Altman's 2-hour interview at Lex Fridman

Sam was interviewed at the Lex Fridman podcast this week. It’s pretty long so I thought to share the 10 key takeaways I noted down from listening to the guy. You can be for him or against him - but you can’t deny he’s one of the most important people central to the forthcoming AI normal!

1. People who create valuable data deserve some way to be compensated for the use of it 💸

The remaining question is the economic model that will enable it. A good analogy is the transition from CDs to Napster to Spotify for music. Or the transition from Movies to YouTube for video. Is there a similar economic model in the future for data?

2. Bill Gates couldn’t imagine that we’d someday need gigabytes of memory in a computer 💾

In the same way, we can’t imagine today how or why LLMs would need billions in context length, but it may still happen. (for context: an LLM with a 1 billion context length means it can process and understand ~2 million document pages for every query)
