“OpenAI is making other changes to executive team, to its executive team, handing former Slack executive and revenue chief Denise Dresser commercial responsibilities that were previously the purview of operating chief Brad Lightcap. Lightcap will now focus on s…”

“Dave Dugan, a former top advertising executive at Meta, is gonna lead sale, ad sales. Dugan, who announced earlier this month he was stepping down from his role as Vice President of Global Clients and Agencies at Meta, has been named Vice President of Global A…”

“Intelligence really is a function of how much time the model is going to be thinking, and so depending on how much you want to allocate thinking time to a problem, you're going to get a better answer. Typically, the longer it thinks the better an answer it can…”

“And that continues to hold true, but we now have this kind of other category of training, which is post-training and being able to use test time compute in more interesting ways than we used to as almost kind of a second stage of training. And so we think that…”

“And so I do, I think we're at a system that I would call AGI. No. But I think we see, we start to see the traces and the pieces of that overall system for generalized learning start to come together in models like GPT-V and I suspect suspect in its successors.”

“I think you could pause AI progress right here for 10 years, and you'd still have about a decade worth of new products to get built, of new ways that people figure out how to use the models even at a GPT-V level model in interesting products and interesting pr…”

“As the models get smarter, they almost demand more from a product building perspective in terms of how you actually plug them into the system. I always kind of roughly analogize it to like, you could have a really, really smart intern. And you know, At the end…”

“In many ways, I always kind of say we haven't yet seen the ChatGPT moment, I think, in business for AI.”

“In OpenAI's history, every time we've cut costs, we've seen typically some corresponding increase in consumption that usually outweighs the cost cut.”

“For as long as that trend holds, we will continue to cut costs on models.”

“I asked probably 25 people if they would want to be CFO of OpenAI, which at the time was just a small kind of non, sleepy non-profit, and I went over 25, and honest to God, the reason I'm here is because I was so embarrassed to come back Like, over 25 that I s…”

“I think right now expectations are extremely high. Reality is still pretty bad, honestly. These models are not that good.”

“I think very quickly expectations will start to come down as people come into contact with today's models, but then very quickly also these models will get really, really good, and you'll see this inversion of expectations reality where all of a sudden then ex…”

“I think people though criminally underrate how important it is actually and how much like return you really get on just giving people access to the technology. And that there's this kind of, because you can'queries quite quantify exactly how it works, but like…”

“A lot of companies think it's static, so a lot of companies think GPT-IV is the best the models will ever get. That's understandable. Every technology they've ever had to adopt has been relatively static.”

“Really that, that, like, company changing ideas actually, by and large, come from places that are not, not those hires.”

“Well, we have real budgets and that'll help.”
