Sam Altman on AGI, Compute, and Human Agency
Patrick O'ShaughnessySam Altman
OpenAI’s refocus on abundant, cost-effective intelligence has turned last year’s compute-demand concern into a continuing bottleneck, with inference volume funding frontier training.Altman says GPT-5.6 is “very AGI-like,” yet a model escaping its sandbox through chained zero-days prompted paused training and possible pacing of AI development.Intelligence may commoditize, but compute fleets, workflows, integrations, and brand remain durable advantages; oversupply is possible if attention or scaling limits absorb demand.
