Paul Graham: An OpenAI employee inadvertently revealed the timeline, "Anything made by 2028 will be very valuable"

According to 1M AI News's monitoring, Y Combinator co-founder Paul Graham shared a conversation he had with an OpenAI employee at X. He mentioned that buying rare old items could hedge against AI risk because AI cannot go back in time to create them. The other person replied, "Anything made before 2028 will be very valuable."

The implication is that after 2028, AI will be able to create most things humans can, making only pre-2028 man-made items valuable due to their non-replicability. Graham interpreted this statement as the other person "inadvertently revealing their timeline."

He added that he doesn't place much importance on the specific year, but finds "the outline of this idea very interesting."
