Opinions:
Sam Altman: 1) Aggressive Infrastructure Bet: Altman revealed that the company is making a very aggressive bet on infrastructure, at a scale that requires industry-wide collaboration. This massive investment is based on strong confidence in the capabilities of future models within the next one to two years, rather than current models, and he previewed that more industry partnerships will be announced in the coming months. 2) Blueprint for the Energy Future: Altman pointed out that AI and energy have become inseparable, and the exponential growth of AI will depend on cheaper and more abundant energy. He predicts that future energy will be dominated by "solar + storage" and nuclear power. He believes that once nuclear energy demonstrates overwhelming economic advantages, its development will be extremely rapid, and called past restrictions on nuclear energy an extremely foolish decision. 3) Strategic Position of Sora: Sora is not just a video generation tool, but a strategic tool for building world models to advance AGI and help society adapt to AI development. 4) AI Scientists Are Coming: Altman predicts that AI models will be able to make major scientific discoveries within the next two years, which he sees as the true sign of AI changing the world. He revealed that GPT-5 has already begun to show the ability to make small, novel scientific discoveries. 5) Strategic Shift to Vertical Integration: Altman admitted that his previous views on vertical integration were wrong, and now believes it is the necessary path for OpenAI to achieve its mission, drawing an analogy to the success of the Apple iPhone. 6) New Copyright Model: He foresees that in the future, AI training may be considered fair use, but using specific IP to generate content will give rise to new business models. Some copyright holders are even more concerned that their IP is not being sufficiently used by AI, rather than being overused. 7) Commercialization and Trust: In terms of commercialization, Altman is open but cautious about advertising, emphasizing that user trust in ChatGPT must never be compromised. He believes that recommending paid products instead of the best products would destroy this trust relationship.
