Sam Altman's latest confession is going viral:
"AI will be more profound than fire or electricity in human history."
But that's not the scariest part of his new Theo Von interview.
From dark predictions for his infant son to calling out Zuckerberg...
Here's what he revealed:
The most haunting moment came when discussing his 4-month-old baby:
"My kid will never ever be smarter than an AI. That will never happen."
Asked if his son will go to college?
"Probably not."
The man building AI just predicted the end of traditional education.
But here's the admission that changes everything:
"No one knows where it's all going to go. I'm the guy in the room and I have some guesses... but we don't know."
The CEO of the world's most powerful AI company just admitted he's flying blind too.
And behind the scenes, Altman revealed OpenAI's insane scale.
Their new Texas data center uses 1 GIGAWATT of power.
"5,000 people doing construction... it looks like the motherboard of a computer."
Our planet is literally becoming a giant AI processor.
The merge between humans and AI? It's already happening.
Altman told a story about a friend whose personality was perfectly captured by ChatGPT without ever being explicitly programmed.
"The pattern of him had gotten imprinted into this AI."
No brain chips needed.
Zuckerberg spent billions on AI talent.
When Theo asked about Zuckerberg "poaching" his team members, Altman's response was ice cold:
"Bring it. I expect to win."
The AI wars just got personal.
The surveillance dystopia is coming, and Altman knows it:
"We're going to have cameras all over the place... do I find that dystopic? Of course."
But the scary part?
Our ChatGPT conversations have ZERO legal protection unlike therapy or legal advice.
Altman teased something massive: AI agents that don't just answer questions, but actually DO things.
Book restaurants. Buy products. Do research.
"Most people think of ChatGPT as answering anything, but it'll become doing anything."
The demo he showed was "stone age" changing.
But on mental health, Altman admitted deep concerns.
"I'm scared... I don't have an answer yet."
He compared AI to social media's dopamine addiction but admitted it could get much worse with AI companions and constant validation.
Feels like a subtle dig at Elon's Grok 4.
The most telling revelation? When asked about bad actors in tech.
"Are we a little autistic on the whole? I would say probably."
Altman believes Silicon Valley's neurodivergent thinking is necessary to build the future.
His prediction for the next 20 years?
"I think a lot of the world gets covered in data centers over time."
Either on Earth or in space with "a big Dyson sphere around the solar system."
The scale is incomprehensible.
The bottom line from Altman's interview:
AI development is moving faster than anyone predicted.
The people building it don't know where it leads.
And the changes coming will make today's world unrecognizable.
Buckle up. It's getting exciting - and scary.
