Intel stock extends gains after report of possible U.S. government stake
Investing.com -- OpenAI CEO Sam Altman revealed ambitious plans for the company’s future during a dinner with Verge reporters in San Francisco on Thursday, including potential trillion-dollar investments in data centers and interest in acquiring Google Chrome.
Altman acknowledged issues with last week’s GPT-5 rollout, saying "we totally screwed up some things." Despite the challenges, he noted API traffic doubled in 48 hours, with ChatGPT hitting new user highs daily.
The CEO shared that ChatGPT now reaches over 700 million people weekly, quadrupling its user base in a year. "Pretty soon, billions of people a day will be talking to ChatGPT," Altman said.
Altman outlined several expansion areas, confirming plans to fund a brain-computer interface startup to rival Neuralink.
Regarding Chrome, Altman stated, "If Chrome is really going to sell, we should take a look at it," referring to potential antitrust actions that might force Google to divest the browser.
Altman emphasized OpenAI’s need for more computing resources, saying the company will spend "trillions of dollars on data center construction in the not very distant future."
While acknowledging the current "AI bubble" with investors "overexcited about AI," Altman maintained that artificial intelligence remains "the most important thing to happen in a very long time."
When asked about his future as CEO, Altman expressed doubts about his suitability for leading a public company, suggesting an AI might be running OpenAI in three years.
