papa’s little helper
How does he do all this? Whenever I watch the news, Sam Altman’s face seems to be staring back at me. CEO of OpenAI, a famous workaholicConstantly in the public eye explaining how AI will likely cure cancer and convert social contract And generally change the world. All this while he is reportedly preparing for OpenAI to apply for stock exchange listing, valuing the company at $1 trillion by next year. And he’s a new dad, too: Altman and his husband, Oliver Mulherin, welcomed their first child into the world in February. So he has a lot on his plate.
However, the billionaire gets a little help, and he’s not afraid to admit it. On Monday Altman made his late night debut on Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show, where he waxed lyrical about how helpful ChatGPT has been in helping him raise his son.
“I can’t even imagine how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT,” Altman told Fallon. Perhaps a little self-awareness kicked in at that moment as he added: “Obviously, people did it for a long time – no problem… but I relied on it a lot.”
How exactly does Altman use ChatGPT to help her figure out “how to raise a newborn?” Well, she told Fallon once Asked Big Language Model: “Why does my kid drop his pizza on the floor and stop laughing? (sic)” Altman didn’t say what ChatGPT responded, but I think it was something like this: Because he’s a kid and that’s what kids do.
Another moment when ChatGPT helped Altman on her parenting journey, we learned, was when another parent boasted about her six-month-old baby crawling and making her feel a little insecure. Altman told Fallon that he then ran to the bathroom and asked AI if it was “okay” that his son was not crawling yet; ChatGPT offered some pleasant words of wisdom.
Fallon is not a journalist. His job is not to ask tough questions, but to yell and bang his desk every few minutes. Still, it would have been nice if the late-night host had spent just a few minutes asking some tough questions of one of the most powerful men in the world, rather than just allowing it. Altman does PR For yourself and OpenAI.
For example, he could ask Altman about his appearance OpenAI Podcast Earlier this year, when the CEO said that people have “a very high level of trust in ChatGPIT, which is interesting because, like, AI does hallucinations. It should be a technology that you don’t trust that much”.
And if Fallon didn’t want to delve deeper into the thorny issues of AI hallucinations and oh psychosisHe could have at least investigated Altman’s child-rearing arrangements a little more. For example, Fallon could have asked Altman if her husband did all the caregiving, or if she had a nanny.
Apparently, Altman and her husband have never made any public comments about hiring a nanny. And of course, they are entitled to keep their personal lives private. However, considering the fact that Altman has flowing Regarding how he is “baby-filled” and how “everyone should have lots of kids”, I think it might also be helpful for him to explain how his particular experience of parenting may differ from that of the hoi polloi.
For example, Altman and her husband had their child through a surrogate. It’s easy to get excited about how everyone should have lots of kids when you don’t have to do any of the work of transporting them. It’s easy to be careless about taking kids out when you’re not taking on any of the risks associated with pregnancy and childbirth. And while pregnancy always comes with risks, research has shown that surrogates are more likely to have physical and mental complications than women who give birth to their own offspring.
Although Altman may not be able to imagine how to raise a newborn without Chatgpt, I’m confident he’ll be able to find a way to manage. However, what I find hard to imagine is a world in which high-powered executives (including female executives) would be able to do their jobs and have children without too many domestic servants. Of course, there is nothing wrong with seeking help. What is problematic is to pretend that it is all labor – which it is. underpaidUnderappreciation, and inconsistent performance by women – does not exist.
