Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Sam Altman is calling off the jobs apocalypse, so please put your molotov cocktails away. In a recent appearance at a conference hosted by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, the CEO of OpenAI admitted that his previous warnings about mass job loss and societal upheaval were incorrect. (Well, maybe not totally incorrect, but that societal upheaval is more directed at him than he’d like, and now he’s trying to do some crisis management). He’s also very happy about being wrong, by the way, don’t forget that…
Excerpt limited to ~120 words for fair-use compliance. The full article is at Gizmodo.
