“Specifically, the report mentions that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman may be aiming to raise up to $100 billion in the next few years to develop artificial intelligence so smart it can improve itself.”
OpenAI lost $540 million last year building ChatGPT, and the expenses are set to grow. Altman’s answer is to raise up to $100 billion for an AI that improves itself. In 2020 it was ready to spend up to $75 million on Google Cloud before Microsoft’s Azure looked more attractive. Losing half a billion is a problem until you call it the down payment on a god.
