Sam Altman Says the Quiet Part Out Loud, Believes We’re in an AI Bubble

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-12 06:56:02

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman just admitted to what the rest of the AI industry won't: that the entire thing could be a big, fat bubble, ready to burst. Though it's a fiercely debated topic — with many experts saying the writing's on the wall — the OpenAI CEO was unwavering in his conviction. "When bubbles happen, smart people get overexcited about a kernel of truth," Altman told a small group of reporters on Thursday, as quoted by The Verge.

Developers Say GPT-5 Is a Mixed Bag

wired.com Lauren Goode 2025-11-12 18:47:49

When OpenAI launched GPT-5 last week, it told software engineers the model was designed to be a “true coding collaborator” that excels at generating high-quality code and performing agentic, or automated, software tasks. While the company didn’t say so explicitly, OpenAI appeared to be taking direct aim at Anthropic’s Claude Code, which has quickly become many developers’ favored tool for AI-assisted coding. But developers tell WIRED that GPT-5 has been a mixed bag so far. It shines at technica

Never mind the GPT-5 complaints; Sam Altman says he believes ChatGPT is on track to have more conversations per day than all human beings combined. “If you project our growth forward, pretty soon billions of people a day will be talking to ChatGPT,” said the CEO of OpenAI during a dinner with journalists in San Francisco. “ChatGPT will be having more conversations, maybe, than all human words put together, at some point.

GPT-5's rollout fell flat for consumers, but the AI model is gaining where it matters most

watch now Sam Altman turned OpenAI into a cultural phenomenon with ChatGPT. Now, three years later, he's chasing where the real money is: Enterprise. Last week's rollout of GPT-5, OpenAI's newest artificial intelligence model, was rocky. Critics bashed its less-intuitive feel, ultimately leading the company to restore its legacy GPT-4 to paying chatbot customers. But GPT-5 isn't about the consumer.

ChatGPT already comes with Agent mode, which uses a virtual machine to browse the web. The vrtual machine is powered by Linux and it works in a cloud environment (Azure).
