Life in several timelines (timeframes) in one company
In an interview for ABC published on March 18th, 2023, Sam Altman said that they had the GPT4 model ready 7 months ago, i.e. already in August 2022 (min 13:09). I can’t imagine that they don’t already have the GPT5 or GPT6 model ready, Sam mentions the hypothetical GPT7 (min 8:17), or that they aren’t preparing something new or entirely different that exceeds my imagination. It must feel like time travel when internally solving problems and questions with part of your team that the world (and tech Twitter) will only address as a completely new thing in a few months. And then a few minutes later, discussing with the public and the media the things that they discussed and solved internally a few months ago, but for the public, it’s a hot news and the main message of the day.
