Open AI CEO Sam Altman said that the era of remote work is over and he feels the best products are created while working from the office.
Explaining his views on the topic Open AI CEO Sam Altman said, “I think definitely one of the tech industry’s worst mistakes in a long time was that everybody (thought they) could go full remote forever, and startups didn’t need to be together.”
“There was going to be no loss of creativity. I would say that the experiment on that is over, and the technology is not yet good enough that people can be fully remote forever, particularly on startups”, he added.
He further said, “The more unclear and early the product is, the more in-person time the team needs to grind together.”
“Some of our best people are remote, and we will continue to support it always, so please don’t let hating SF stop you from applying to OpenAI! I don’t like the open-air fentanyl markets either”, he added.
“The more unclear and early the product is, the more in-person time the team needs to grind together,” he added.
Earlier, Sam Altman also believed that AI chatbots could “eliminate a lot of current jobs” but also has the potential to be “the greatest technology humanity has yet developed” to improve our lives
Sam Altman has also suggested that one should be cautious but also open-minded about the potential benefits of AI. By doing so, everyone can ensure that AI is developed in a way that benefits society as a whole.
“We’ve got to be careful here. I think people should be delighted that we are a little bit terrified of this,” he said. “I’m particularly worried that these models could be used for large-scale disinformation. Now that they’re getting better at writing computer code, [they] could be used for offensive cyberattacks,” he said.
The OpenAI CEO said, “The AI tool is in human control, he can’t be sure of the humans who will be controlling it. There will be other people who don’t put some of the safety limits that we put on.”
