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.

Slightly better chatbots and much fuller wallets, their wallets

Where is the money even coming from?

Seems like he's getting investment from many of the same folks who are selling him the hardware and renting the rack space. It's just an investment oroboros.

Yep, it's another Tesla or Boring company
