Bring in show music, please.

Hi, I'm CNBC producer Katie Kramer.

Today on Squawk Pod.

Open AI CEO Sam Altman, the day after Chat GPT5 hit the public.

Healthcare is maybe the area where there's the strongest improvement of any category.

A key founder in artificial intelligence on the impact his digital project has on humanity.

I do worry about this general case of people that just make their decisions based off of what the advice chat

to BT gives them. Like, it does feel to me like something gets important, gets lost in

that process, even if the advice is always really good.

Why he's luring Silicon Valley's hottest talent.

The bet, the hope is they know how to, like, discover the remaining ideas to get to super

intelligence, that there are going to be a handful of algorithmic ideas and a, you know,

medium-sized handful of people who can figure them out.

And how he's thinking about returns for investors.

Spoiler, he's focused on innovation.

As long as we're on this very steep curve of the model getting better and better,

I think the rational thing to do is to just be willing to run a loss for quite a while and continue to going to do that, which is also part of why I think it's nice not to be public.

Plus, the other stories that got us squawking, including President Trump's calls for Intel CEO to resign.

This is clearly industrial policy, which nobody likes, brought on by the original industrial policy. Intel got in bed

with the federal government. It's Friday, August 8th, 2025. Squawk Pod begins right now.

Stand and under five, three, two, one, up in Andrew. Thank you. Good morning and welcome to Swackbox right here on CNBC. We're live at the NASDAQ market site in Times Square. I'm Andrew Oz Sorkin. By the skin of my teeth, I'm Andrew Ross Sorkin. Well, Becky's off. Joe is here. I was here. Nice to see you. You were ready to cook.

See you. Broadway decided that there's a crane.
