What I found most interesting were the comments at the end.

Altman states that he expects next year’s improvements to the capabilities of leading models to take everyone by surprise.

Of course, this was right before the recent chaos…

———

Jobs: What is the most remarkable surprise that [you believe] will have happened in your field or in your company in 2024?

Sam: The model capability will have taken such a leap forward that no one expected.

Jobs: Wait, say it again?

Sam: The model capability, like what these systems can do, will have taken such a leap forward no one expected that much progress.

Jobs: And why is that a remarkable thing? Why is it brilliant?

Sam: Well, it’s just different to expectation. I think people have, like, in their mind how much better the model will be next year, and it'll be remarkable how much different it is.
