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 proposal would be to turn Libraries into an Open Source datacenter. Wrestle back some control from these power hungry freaks.

        bay area california. not petaluma, but check out petaluma. that’s a good example, it’s where my dad grew up. when you get a good mix of rural and urban beautiful things happen. the people who don’t usually mix, they mix. and those barriers come down.
