Just one week after GPT-5 launched, OpenAI's Sam Altman shared the grandest thought of all: that maybe it's society that's the superintelligence. "No one person could do, on their own, what they're able to do with all the really hard work that society has done together to give you this amazing set of tools." In a mid-August interview on YouTube, Altman argued that it's the kids born today who will ultimately inherit what a superintelligent society has created for them.
So what is the sum of all technologies? If our future harnesses everything ever built, by everyone who came before us — how does it culminate?
