OpenAI founder Sam Altman began the new year with reflections and questions about the future of artificial intelligence. In his first 2025 post on X, Altman shared a cryptic statement on Saturday about being near "the singularity, " the point where technology becomes so advanced it might surpass human control and potentially disrupt civilization. Altman's post read, "I always wanted to write a six-word story; here it is: near the singularity; unclear which side. " Shortly after, Altman admitted the verse’s meaning was unclear even to him, suggesting links to the simulation hypothesis. He explained that the message could either reference 1) the simulation hypothesis, or 2) the difficulty of identifying when the critical moment of technological "takeoff" occurs. "Takeoff" likely refers to the onset of technological singularity. The simulation hypothesis suggests humans live in a computer simulation.
It generally remains a philosophical rather than a scientific or political debate. OpenAI, co-founded by Altman and other entrepreneurs including Elon Musk in 2015, saw Musk depart in 2018 due to his dissatisfaction with the company’s direction. In 2024, Musk accused OpenAI of achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI) with GPT-4, a claim OpenAI denies. Nonetheless, Altman hinted at potential AGI developments in 2025. When asked by Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan in a November interview what he was excited for in 2025, Altman simply replied, "AGI. " FOX Business attempted to contact OpenAI for further comments but did not receive an immediate response.
