This is the best summary I could come up with:

Sam Altman, the Jimmy Neutron-looking mega-millionaire who runs OpenAI, had a lot to say at this year’s World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland.

That’s not exactly a surprising turn of events, but it does underline a growing refrain from Silicon Valley: AI is simply going to need more power if it’s going to take over the world.

Every year, the world’s opulent elite get together at the WEF’s much-hyped event, where they argue amicably over the best path forward for global capitalism.

The event is designed to give participants—which are mainly billionaires, business leaders, and lobbyists—the ability to “game out” specific initiatives that, more or less, are all about how to make money more efficiently.

Altman had plenty to say about the future of his industry, notably claiming that AI needs some sort of axis-shifting, Copernican “breakthrough” when it comes to energy innovation.

In recent months, tech companies have been casting about for alternative power sources that will be more environmentally friendly and, crucially, will provide ever greater amounts of energy to satisfy the data-sucking ways of AI.
