TSMC execs allegedly dismissed Sam Altman as ‘podcasting bro’ — OpenAI CEO made absurd requests for 36 fabs for $7 trillion
TSMC execs allegedly dismissed Sam Altman as ‘podcasting bro’ — OpenAI CEO made absurd requests for 36 fabs for $7 trillion
Scale of Sam Altman’s proposed investment plans considered ‘absurd’
Altman used his multi-stop trip to pitch his plans to progress AI, involving Asia's manufacturing muscle, Middle Eastern money, and U.S. regulators.
Slave labour, oil money and regulatory capture come together to form... whatever the fuck this is.
This really seems like a bad joke. They are setting the world on fire for slightly better chatbots.

last time this mix was tried, the result was corporate tax evasion
This guy's all dip and no chips
This was the guy that Microsoft saved?
You mean when the board of directors wanted to fire him? Considering the recent news of OpenAI transitioning towards for profit i think they got what they wanted from keeping him in charge. Seems like something Microsoft would benefit from and if they'd have gotten a different CEO at the time who knows if it had come to this point.
TSMC suit: "And is the seven trillion dollars in the room with us right now?"
Ya gotta imagine that TSMC execs are going to have a "hard-nosed realist" vibe compared to the average Silicon Valley tech guy.
