The name of Sam Altman began to rumble in the media at the end of 2022. The creation of ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence mechanism with which you can start a conversation, just as if it were another person, surprised experts and technology enthusiasts.
ChatGPT is one of his main projects, which are part of his company, Open AI, which by name we know what he does: the development of artificial intelligence.
This element allows us to know that Sam Altman is a genius, one of those who appear from time to time to revolutionize the world with some invention. However, little is known about his personal life and who this person is, when we remove that he promoted artificial intelligence like no other.
The country he does an extensive report on his “secrets”, which in the end are not so mysterious. It’s a simple look at who Sam Altman is as a person.
This is Sam Altman
The genius programmer thing was given to him since he was little. At eight years old he learned the trade from an Apple Macintosh and at 13 he was already designing web pages. He went to study at Stanford at the age of 19 and dropped out to dedicate himself to his own project: Loopt, an app with the ability to locate other people in real time.
This app came to be valued at 175 million, but in the end it was sold for 45 million, after losing interest due to the explosion of other social networks such as Facebook, at that time.
He is from Chicago and has accepted himself as a homosexual since his adolescence, in the middle of a school board at the school where he studied. He is grateful for his access to technology since he was a child, which helped him overcome some adversity.
“Growing up gay, in the Midwest in the 2000s, wasn’t exactly idyllic, but finding AOL chat rooms helped me. Having secrets at 11 or 12 years old is not a good thing, ”she said in an interview with The New Yorker.
Are you afraid of artificial intelligence?
Based on what Sam himself tells, he seems to be afraid of artificial intelligence or the end of the world in general.
“Popular discussion topic among my friends: Will the world end because of synthetic biology, AI, or energy shortages/war?” he says. And in any case, he is prepared to face the challenge: he has a bunker that would protect him from these threats, where he has everything he needs to survive.
die and live forever
The same review that we quoted publishes that Sam Altman paid $10,000 to enter a waiting list that allows him to digitize his mind in the future, allowing him to later be incorporated into a machine and thus live forever.
The worst thing is that to achieve this he would have to undergo an operation in which he would lose his life. So it’s like paying to die and at the same time live forever.
