Sam Altman: The Future of OpenAI, ChatGPT’s Origins, and Building AI Hardware https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/06/sam-altman-the-future-of-openai-chatgpts-origins-and-building-ai-hardware https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/06/sam-altman-the-future-of-openai-chatgpts-origins-and-building-ai-hardware#respond Sun, 22 Jun 2025 07:06:16 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/06/sam-altman-the-future-of-openai-chatgpts-origins-and-building-ai-hardware

A fireside with Sam Altman on June 16, 2025 at AI Startup School in San Francisco.

Sam Altman grew up obsessed with technology, broke into the Stanford mainframe as a kid, and dropped out to start his first company before turning 20.

In this conversation, he traces the path from early startup struggles to building OpenAI—sharing what he’s learned about ambition, the weight of responsibility, and how to keep building when the whole world is watching. He opens up about the hardest moments of his career, the limits of personal productivity, and why, in the end, it’s all still about finding people you like working with and doing something that matters.

A fireside with Elon Musk at AI Startup School in San Francisco.

Before rockets and robots, Elon Musk was drilling holes through his office floor to borrow internet. In this candid talk, he walks through the early days of Zip2, the Falcon 1 launches that nearly ended SpaceX, and the “miracle” of Tesla surviving 2008.

The Ezra Klein Show https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/06/the-ezra-klein-show https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/06/the-ezra-klein-show#comments Tue, 17 Jun 2025 09:41:55 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/06/the-ezra-klein-show

I honestly don’t know how I should be educating my kids. A.I. has raised a lot of questions for schools. Teachers have had to adapt to the most ingenious cheating technology ever devised. But for me, the deeper question is: What should schools be teaching at all? A.I. is going to make the future look very different. How do you prepare kids for a world you can’t predict?

And if we can offload more and more tasks to generative A.I., what’s left for the human mind to do?

Rebecca Winthrop is the director of the Center for Universal Education at the Brookings Institution. She is also an author, with Jenny Anderson, of “The Disengaged Teen: Helping Kids Learn Better, Feel Better, and Live Better.” We discuss how A.I. is transforming what it means to work and be educated, and how our use of A.I. could revive — or undermine — American schools.

03:03 The future of education?
11:20 Modes of engagement.
17:27 Personalizing education.
26:25 The case for A.I. in schools.
35:09 Who gets left behind?
46:07 How A.I. can increase equity.

Tech jobs, robots are Lutnick’s vision for America’s “manufacturing renaissance” https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/06/tech-jobs-robots-are-lutnicks-vision-for-americas-manufacturing-renaissance https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/06/tech-jobs-robots-are-lutnicks-vision-for-americas-manufacturing-renaissance#respond Mon, 16 Jun 2025 19:12:38 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/06/tech-jobs-robots-are-lutnicks-vision-for-americas-manufacturing-renaissance

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Thursday touted the use of robotics in his pitch for an American “manufacturing renaissance.”

The big picture: While President Trump’s tariffs are meant to boost American manufacturing and jobs, U.S. manufacturers will likely hurt from these tariffs, at least in the short run. Whether they lead to more jobs in the long term remains an open question.

What he’s saying: Lutnick made the case in several TV interviews this week that tariffs will bring jobs and factories back to the U.S., saying they’ll utilize robotics to make American workers “more efficient.”

AI leaders have a new term for the fact that their models are not always so intelligent https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/06/ai-leaders-have-a-new-term-for-the-fact-that-their-models-are-not-always-so-intelligent https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/06/ai-leaders-have-a-new-term-for-the-fact-that-their-models-are-not-always-so-intelligent#comments Sun, 08 Jun 2025 14:05:30 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/06/ai-leaders-have-a-new-term-for-the-fact-that-their-models-are-not-always-so-intelligent

Progress is rarely linear, and AI is no exception.

As academics, independent developers, and the biggest tech companies in the world drive us closer to artificial general intelligence — a still hypothetical form of intelligence that matches human capabilities — they’ve hit some roadblocks. Many emerging models are prone to hallucinating, misinformation, and simple errors.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai referred to this phase of AI as AJI, or “artificial jagged intelligence,” on a recent episode of Lex Fridman’s podcast.
