"Sam Altman has claimed over the years that the advancement of AI could solve climate change, cure cancer, create a benevolent superintelligence beyond human comprehension, provide a tutor for every student, take over nearly half of the tasks in the economy and create what he calls universal extreme wealth. In order to bring about his utopian future, Altman is demanding enormous resources from the present."
"As CEO of OpenAI, the world's most valuable privately owned company, he has in recent months announced plans for $1tn of investment into datacenters and struck multibillion-dollar deals with several chipmakers. If completed, the datacenters are expected to use more power than entire European nations. OpenAI is pushing an aggressive expansion encroaching on industries like e-commerce, healthcare and entertainment while increasingly integrating its products into government, universities, and the US military and making a play to turn ChatGPT into the new default homepage for millions."
