OpenAI to Spend Trillions

Axios reports:
OpenAI has committed to spend about $1.4 trillion on infrastructure so far, equating to roughly 30 gigawatts of data center capacity, CEO Sam Altman said on Tuesday. ...

That total includes the already announced deals with AMD, Broadcom, Nvidia, Oracle and other partners.

Yes, but: That's just the starting point, Altman said. Over time, the company would like to have in place a technical and financial apparatus that would allow it to build a gigawatt of new capacity per week at a cost of around $20 billion per gigawatt.

It is hard to imagine that he will get the money, or that he can get the gigawatts.

Maybe he already has artificial super-general intelligence, and can use it to get what no one else can.

Or, maybe the critics are right that AI investment is a bubble ripe for popping and Altman is the carnival barker de jour. I don't think this ends well.
