This may genuinely be one of the most devastating things I've seen about a tech CEO in the mainstream media. Amazing.
Backers are asked to believe that OpenAI is the most responsible guardian of The Dangerous Majick, while also understanding that the urgency of Al's arms race frees it from all obligation to act responsibly. Burning cash is foundational to its business. There's no time to sandbox new products or abide by laws when liquidity is only ever measured in months. The looming threat of insolvency is what propels OpenAI forward. Does value-for-money get a look in? We know very little about OpenAI's day-to-day operating costs, but we've learned a little more about the day-to-day operating costs of the CEO. Maybe it's useful to know that Altman uses a knife that's showy but incohesive and wrong for the job; he wastes huge amounts of money on olive oil that he uses recklessly; and he has an automated coffee machine that claims to save labour while doing the exact opposite because it can't be trusted. His kitchen is a catalogue of inefficiency, incomprehension, and waste. If that's any indication of how he runs the company, insolvency cannot be considered too unrealistic a threat.
