Sam Altman Announces GPT-5 Amid Hype and Risk Concerns

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, announced that GPT-5 is not finished yet but is expected to be a significant leap forward compared to GPT-4. OpenAI board member Larry Summers expressed concerns about AI's capacity for recursive self-improvement and the potential risks of catastrophe. Sequoia investor Pat Grady noted that while GPT-5 could 'blow people away,' it may also require users to redo prompts, impacting stability. The release of GPT-5 is highly anticipated, with some insiders suggesting it could possess 'President-level intelligence.'
