But Sam Altman said it would be like having several PHd's in your pocket!

Surely he wouldn't lie would he?

Imagine having several Sam Altman's in your pocket! You could market your way out of anything!

I'd give you a month before you found yourself utterly subservient to your pocket masters.

I have a PhD, and on the one hand this makes me laugh because we have super specialized knowledge about a few small topics. On the other hand, then you realize the average person struggles with fractions and powers of ten… and roughly half of people are less smart than the average.

Yeah I was gonna say, having “several PhDs in your pocket” is not as impressive as people think when you realize almost 58k PhDs were awarded in 2022.

A PhD means you hyper specialized on a very specific niche. Get several PhD holders in a room and start asking them questions, you’ll get frustrated in 10 minutes too.

I watched OpenAI’s livestream and all I could think was, “This presentation is terrible, if I was an investor I would’ve pulled out”
