Sam Altman admits he was 'very wrong' about OpenAI's long-stated AI timeline

Sam Altman has admitted he misjudged how fast AI would reshape the economy, telling David Senra's podcast he expected far more disruption soon after GPT-4 arrived in 2023. The OpenAI chief blamed economic inertia rather than the technology, saying people keep using the same tools and buying from the same companies. His concession that everyone has been "too ambitious on timelines" follows his own AGI forecast slipping to 2030.
