Q: "After doing AI for so long, what have you learned about humans?" Sam Altman: "I grew up implicitly thinking that intelligence was this, like really special human thing and kind of somewhat magical. And I now think that it's sort of a fundamental property of matter..." It's a fascinating thought. As we peel back layers of scientific discovery, we do seem to distance ourselves from the "main character energy" role in the universe. Yet, even if we aren't unique in our intelligence, there's a profound importance in our human existence that needs preserving.
