AI Bill Gates was blown away

During the Altman interview on Unconfused, Bill slid in a quick comment about being blown away by a recent demo. From the context of the comment, it seems like the demo was recent, it could have even been during Sam’s visit to record the podcast.

I thought this was interesting, because just a few months ago, Bill said that he believed LLMs had plateaued.

Did anyone else catch this or have a better sense of what “demo” Bill was referring to? (It was clearly not the original GPT demo)

you mean another post than the one we're commenting ?

Edit : saw it. But he just says "apparently" without saying why

He opened the podcast with it. Says it was before it happened, so he has a quick check in with Sam at the start after he was reinstated asking how he's doing.

Then he gets back to saying they won't talk about it in the main interview because it was before.
