OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is trying to raise $7 trillion for a massive AI chip company. This would need to tap all of the assets of multiple Sovereign Wealth Funds. If the funds were raised to make many new semiconductor fabs and design new chips, then this would mean multiplying the capital expenditure of TSMC …
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is talking with leaders of the UAE and elsewhere for $7 Trillion for a new AI Chip company. The WSJ report indicates Sam wants to raise money and then ask TSMC to build factories. Sam must believe that a new class of chip is needed that will build a sustainable advantage …
Figure AI, startup developing humanoid robots, is talking to Microsoft and OpenAI to raise $500 million in new funding at a valuation of over $2 billion. Figure AI just made a deal with BMW to put the humanoid robots into the car factory for pilot tests over the next 12-24 months. Figure AI has performed …
Sam Altman believes that AGI will be created soon. He talked about a vision of an AGI World of More. He predicts AGI will not replace as many jobs as people believe and the world will change less than people believe. It will be an incredible tool for productivity and is magnifying what people can …
In an interview with Bill Gates, Sam Altman says he is super-excited for AI applied to robotics. Sam Altman – “We have to go do this thing. This is now an UNSTOPPABLE technological course. The value is too great.” Tens of billions of dollars are going into the effort to dominate technology and transform the …

Estimated global data center electricity consumption in 2022 was 240-340 TWh, or around 1-1.3% of global final electricity demand. “It is really hard to quantify how much demand is needed for things like ChatGPT,” David Groarke, managing director at consultant Indigo Advisory Group, said in a recent phone interview. By 2030 AI could account for …
OpenAI has rolled out custom versions of ChatGPT that you can create for a specific purpose—called GPTs. GPTs are a new way for anyone to create a tailored version of ChatGPT to be more helpful in their daily life, at specific tasks, at work, or at home—and then share that creation with others. OpenAI now …
ERNIE is a multimodal model by Baidu. ERNIE stands for ‘Enhanced Representation from kNowledge IntEgration’. The Chinese name is 文心一言, or Wenxin Yiyan. In 2022, Baidu spent US$3.4 billion on research and development. Alan Thompson believes that ERNIE 4.0 is better than OpenAI GPT 4 by several measures. 650 companies have signed up to use …
Dr Alan Thompson has been closely tracking all AI and large language models at lifearchitect.ai. Alan believes the Q Star rumors are a red herring but he has been saying the critical next steps to go to 60-80% AGI are humanoid robotics. Humanoid robotics that are could pass Steve Wozniak’s test of AGI: walk into …
there are reports from Reuters that OpenAI has a new large language model called Q* (Q Star) that is capable of solving simple math problems. The researchers involved believe it is a major step toward creating artificial general intelligence (AGI) and possibly artificial superintellence (ASI). Some at OpenAI believe Q* (pronounced Q-Star) could be a …
