A glimpse into Sam Altman's 2-hour-long bid to look like the saner, less chaotic foil to Elon Musk

Business Insider · 1y

OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, gave a two-hour interview with podcaster Lex Fridman, where he discussed artificial general intelligence, his ouster from OpenAI, and Elon Musk's lawsuit against him. Altman took a conciliatory tone and praised Musk, calling him an "amazing" and a "great builder." The contrast between Altman and Musk's public personas was highlighted as Musk's recent interview with Don Lemon drew controversy due to his odd explanation of his ketamine use and his views on racism. Altman and Musk are currently engaged in a legal battle over OpenAI's partnership with Microsoft.
