Sam Altman just had dinner with journalists and spilled details about OpenAI's biggest challenges and future plans. He admitted GPT-5's launch was botched, revealed the company is profitable on inference (minus training costs), and confirmed they're sitting on better models they can't release because of GPU shortages. Altman also discussed OpenAI's plans to spend trillions on data centers, potential IPO timing, upcoming consumer apps including a possible social platform, and that secretive device project with Jony Ive that he promises will create a new computing paradigm. This episode covers all 20+ topics from the conversation that most tech reporters glossed over.
