OpenAI's Sam Altman Expects to Spend 'Trillions' on Infrastructure

Ok, we will see. Markets have capacity and he clearly means to saturate it. It remains to be seen if the capacity to hold this sort of alchemical debt reaches a trillion.

It's a bit obnoxious how everything he says is apparently some sort of grand revolution - even debt financing. He's in a big industry now, with many near or arguably on his level in some respects.
