Sam Altman on Dots' positioning and ambition
Altman said Dots is not just about booking restaurants: the goal is to expand what users can do and earn enough trust to handle complex tasks, powered by Astra.
Had a brief Q&A with @sama today. Here’s my quick paraphrase of his answers: 1. How are Dots different from other personal agents? Plenty of agents will book restaurants for you. The ambition for Dots is bigger: Expand what you can do and earn enough trust to handle complex tasks. Dots are powered by Astra. 2. When will AI deliver a breakthrough in treating cancer and other diseases? We could see something next year that helps treat one type of cancer, though the FDA timeline is difficult to predict. 3. One other answer that stuck with me: He’s strongly against young kids scrolling through short-form videos. I feel the same way.
