Speaking at the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi, the tech billionaire warned an audience of technology and policy leaders that AI superintelligence could soon eclipse even the world’s most powerful executives—including his own job as CEO of OpenAI.
“AI superintelligence at some point on its development curve would be capable of doing a better job being the CEO of a major company than any executive, certainly me,” Altman admitted. He added that that reality is not far off. “On our current trajectory, we believe we may be only a couple of years away from early versions of true superintelligence.”

Pepsi ceo says “pepsi selling so well I may not even need to do my job” doesn’t really feel newsworthy to me, but idk

I mean I’m pretty sure it’s already surpassed the capability to do that a few years ago, it’s just hard to get it to do the work of those who have real jobs.

A spoiled potato would perform better than Altman, big whoop.

I absolutely believe a chat bot is smarter than Sam Altman.

Conveniently I guess he will have cashed out by the time that happens. Unlucky for the rest of us.

Cant wait for openAi to go under. Sadly this bafoon is just gonna latch on to something else.
Im not saying Ai itself is gonna go away, but this company is a shitshow and money pit.

That would be true, as we all know CEO is the number one on the fake jobs list

I mean he has had some bad calls like that idea about paying for sora with ads not realizing that it was mostly going to be generation heavy and the revenue per page load was going to be much less than the cost of a generation so it really just was not going to be possible..

Good. Make a prime example and let yourself get replaced you leech.

Yes, but when will it be able to perform *valuable* work?

Tbh. CEO is about the only job where AI definitely is smarter

Ok, so, replace all the workers with AI, replace the CEO with AI. Then what?

AI CEO says AI is very good. I’m sure these AI CEOs don’t have a financial interest to make AI seem way more capable than it actually is and keep the hype up.

Well if I were in his position I wouldn’t worry because I‘d already be sitting on enough money to keep me afloat for the next decades.

Every boss I worked for I either never met or was rarely there. They were always gone on some elaborate vacation and were the richest. Before AI. Why would it chance now after AI.
RidleyDeckard on
Well it seems like the right thing to do, to prove the AI is capable of being a CEO by letting it have your job. I trust it more than I trust you.

Remember that OpenAI whistleblower who committed suicide shortly after. Pepperidge farm remembers.

Pretty sure it already can sweetie. Bullshitting in an overenthusiastic tone and convincing idiots to give you billions.

I’ll believe it when he gets laid off and his stock shares diluted out.
