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.
I think the worry of large layoffs and instability while idiots try to use AI instead of people is founded even if it’ll end in disaster.
Certainly, since it is already happening. It’s not gonna fully replace the workforce but it is reducing number of jobs. The amount of AI art I am seeing just on the street makes me sick, couldn’t even bother to pay an artist a small amount when starting a new business.
they will just hire from low income countries, maybe only limited amount senior level candidates in the US . thats what bio does mostly, really doesnt hire fresh undergrad, but someone with more significant experience soley, plus they can have the ones on visa with standby.
the layoffs already have been going on since 23, i think its going to accelerate to the point that even undergrads sees a tech degree might not even be worth it anymore.
