      “i would rather be an optimist and work hard than a pessimist posting about why things won't work. it's much more difficult and the most likely path is failure, but society fails if people don't try. no amount of "it will never work" essays will drive society forward. https://t.co/951QDCikV2”

      Altman says he was accurate on capability timelines but society and economy are integrating AI slower than expected

      “@KeyTryer i don't think i was wrong on capability timelines; actually quite good on those predictions. society and the economy are taking longer to integrate the capabilities than i had guessed, but i don't think that's all bad. (also might change in the future.)”
