Sam Altman: RSI, AI Consciousness, OpenAI's New Hardware, Compute, and more!

Altman bets OpenAI's advantage lies in compute infrastructure and custom chips, not model quality, which he expects to converge industry-wide.

• Math proofs preview broader discovery: Altman says AI already does difficult original math work and expects the same approach to extend to biology, materials science and energy discoveries.
• Disease cure timeline: Altman hopes OpenAI has a candidate for curing or treating a major disease within the next couple of years, though FDA testing will take longer.
