"You should expect OpenAI to spend trillions of dollars on data center construction in the not very distant future," Altman said. "And you should expect a bunch of economists to wring their hands and be like, 'Oh, this is so crazy. It's so reckless and whatever.'" "And we'll just be like, 'You know what? Let us, like, do our thing,'"

The talk about AI alignment is completely useless when Sam Altman himself is a "paperclip maximizer" who would doom us all to increase his clout.
