Sam Altman’s power, money, and status all rely on people believing that GPT-(T+1) is going to be smarter than them. Altman doesn’t have good track record of being honest and sincere when it comes to protecting his power, money, and status.
If there’s no constraints on when they have to name a system “GPT-5”, they can make the statement true by only naming a system “GPT-5″ if it is smart enough. (cf. Not Technically a Lie)
Edit: though “and those two [...] I’d like to hear back from you in a little bit of time” implies a system named GPT-5 will be released ‘in a little bit of time’
How are you interpreting this fact?

I wonder how he’s balancing short-term and long-term interests

Edit 2: “Internally we’ve gone all the way to about a maybe like a 4.5”
