Sam Altman’s goal for ChatGPT to remember ‘your whole life’ is both exciting and disturbing


OpenAI CEO Sam Altman laid out a big vision for the future of ChatGPT at an AI event hosted by VC firm Sequoia earlier this month.  When asked by one OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that he eventually sees the model documenting and remembering everything in a person’s life: books, emails, conversations, all of it. He said young people are close to this already.

The ideal, he said, is a “very tiny reasoning model with a trillion tokens of context that you put your whole life into.” Imagine your AI automatically scheduling your car’s oil changes and reminding you; planning the travel necessary for an out-of-town wedding and ordering the gift from the registry; or pre-ordering the next volume of the book series you’ve been reading for years. Altman quickly responded by promising the team had fixed the tweak that caused the problem.
