Sam Altman AGI era reveal

by Vojtech: Sam Altman

Sam Altman left Stanford at 19, skipped the safe cash to bet on machines, and was running YC by 28. They started an AI lab in 2015 that critics called too late, yet ChatGPT hit 100M users faster than anything before it in 2022. Then came August 2026: he told interns a descendant of ChatGPT would watch your screen, record every call, and know your whole life in six months. Everyone freaked out about the dystopian vibe. Three weeks later, GPT-6 Astra dropped as the best computer-use model on earth, and the screen-monitoring stuff? It was already live. Your president closed the briefing saying welcome to the AGI era. You didn't predict the future; you shipped it early. Different game.
