Sam Altman: ChatGPT and the AI revolution
ChatGPT CEO Sam Altman made a billion dollars by investing in tech start-ups like Reddit and Airbnb. But he made his name through AI.
How is freshly minted billionaire Sam Altman shaping our future through his company OpenAI and ChatGPT? He made his fortune by investing in huge tech start-ups like Reddit and Airbnb, before turning his attention to artificial intelligence - being fired and re-hired by his own company in the process. Altman believes that OpenAI, with him in charge, can make the world a better place. Yet he鈥檚 also preparing for the apocalypse, just in case AI turns on its creators and attacks humanity. 成人快手 business editor Simon Jack and journalist Zing Tsjeng tell the story of Sam Altman - the first openly gay billionaire on the podcast so far - before deciding whether they think he鈥檚 good, bad, or just another billionaire.
