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.
Oh, they’re going to pay you? With what money? From what job?
That’s what the intelligence is for, duh
My question is similar, once the knowledge base has become obsolete, and nobody is studying or doing research because nobody can afford tuition, what does AI do? Just keep repackaging the same shit?
