Sam Altman says OpenAI wants to sell intelligence like a utility
During a recent appearance at BlackRock in Washington, D.C., OpenAI’s Sam Altman, shared his vision for the future of AI. At one point saying, “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”
Altman was describing a world where AI becomes a foundational infrastructure, something woven into everyday life so deeply that consumers and businesses simply “plug into” it the same way they rely on electricity, Wi-Fi or running water.
my favorite part of this is that after decades of sci-fi dystopias based on fear of evil AI overlords that destroy the Earth, in reality we’re creating a dystopia where we destroy the Earth to build a bunch of shitty plagiarism bots and treat them like they’re AI overlords.
I can’t stop thinking that all dystopias are actually giving ideas to the rich.
At least one corporation is trying to make every Black Mirror episode a reality as we speak.
