Sam Altman on intelligence

I believe the merge has already started, and we are a few years in. Our phones control us and tell us what to do when; social media feeds determine how we feel; search engines decide what we think.

AI will probably most likely lead to the end of the world, but in the meantime, there’ll be great companies.

We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.
