OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman just dropped a bombshell podcast with Shane Parrish, unpacking the wild 72 hours post-Sam Altman's 2023 ousting that nearly sank the company, from board tensions to Ilya Sutskever's exit and a petition demanding Altman's return. Brockman dives into OpenAI's origins in 2015, early DeepMind rivalries, the shift to for-profit, and breakthroughs like Dota 2 that shaped AI reasoning over mere prediction. He warns the global AI race to AGI heats up, with nations potentially stealing tech, finite compute constraints mirroring Bitcoin mining demands, and OpenAI's own code now heavily AI-generated—hard to pinpoint the human-written percent. ChatGPT ditched showing reasoning to curb misuse, while future bets eye data center specialization and space-based compute; Brockman stresses smart regulation amid AI-powered entrepreneurship boom and job shifts, urging young talent to master adaptable skills in this parabolic AI industry impact.
