Unfortunately, I think Altman is right when he says AI will “have perfect context of your whole life” and that it will occur “sometime in the next six months.” This is reminiscent of the Black Mirror episode, Nosedive, where, based on total transparency of activities, a social credit system took over society. Fantasy aside, for this and other reasons, I have moved my AI Multiplier to 3.3 from 3.5, which forecasts the speed of doubling in capacity.
The multiplier is currently at 48, and the baseline has moved to 47.69 before the new rate kicked in. Based on this:
| Date | Multiplier | Months elapsed | Doublings completed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 31, 2026 | 122 | 4.47 | 1.35 |
| Dec 31, 2027 | 1,513 | 16.46 | 4.99 |
| Dec 31, 2028 | 18,914 | 28.48 | 8.63 |

Over the past few years, the rapid advancement of AI technology has changed the world in a lot of ways. However, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman thinks some more drastic changes are coming within the next six months, but the media community is not necessarily happy about it.
During a recent interview, Altman said that a “descendant of ChatGPT” will be able to essentially watch your computer and phone screen constantly, learn your behavior, and make suggestions, which sparked widespread concerns from the sports media community.
‘Have perfect context of your whole life’
During a recent interview with Cory Levy, founder of Z Fellows, Altman outlined what he sees as the incoming developments in AI technology.
“I think we are close to a world where you have, like, a descendant of ChatGPT watch your computer screen all of the time. Watch every meeting you’re in – record every call, everything like that – have perfect context of your whole life, everything you see. You choose what information you want it to have, but you can connect it to your texts or email or docs or Slack,” Altman said during the interview.
“Then you have this thing that is not making decisions for you, but if you’re like the CEO of a startup, there is always more stuff to do than you can do,” Altman continued. “You can have this thing that’s working alongside you.”
“I think that we’re only like, one model generation away from this actually being incredibly useful,” Altman said. “And I think, hopefully, for me, it will change the way I work.”
Altman was asked his best guess on the timing for something like this.
“Sometime in the next six months,” he speculated.
‘This sounds alarming’
While Altman undoubtedly made these comments to drum up excitement, the sports media community had the opposite reaction, as they expressed outrage at the world that Altman described.
“There are only two AI update announcements at this point. It’s either: 1. We created a powerful new tool with obvious and immediate capacity to be abused by tyrannical authorities. or 2. We found a new way to separate you from any aspect of your own lived experience,” wrote Ben Fowlkes of Yahoo Sports.
“Counterpoint: s**k my d**k,” wrote prominent Barstool Sports personality PFT Commenter.
“Only the biggest losers alive actually want this,” wrote B.W. Carlin, founder of Bad Brain Digital Consulting, who previously worked for Barstool and Sports Illustrated.
“nah homie you can keep that [expletive],” prominent sports journalist Bomani Jones wrote in a post.
“I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to comprehend how anyone can hear this and think ‘oh hell yeah,’” wrote prominent San Antonio Spurs writer Matthew Tynan in a post.
“And what good comes from this exactly?” wrote prominent NBA podcaster Chris of Hoop Spaces in a post on X.
“Has he ever listened to anything he says? Cause this sounds alarming. Not helpful,” wrote longtime NFL and NBA writer Scott Kacsmar in a post.
Altman may be excited for these changes, but it’s clear that not everyone is happy to step into the world that he described.
