Already $17.9 billion in, Sam Altman confident good things are coming from OpenAI [1] ['Jason Weisberger'] Date: 2025-01-06 Hopefully, there is enough energy in the universe to power all the GPUs that OpenAI plans to buy from Nvidia, seeking to answer the question, "What should we do with all these GPUs?" Sam Altman is now confident his team can develop the AI to replace us all. He can not be confident about the energy, space, and cooling it'll all take to get there.
