Sam Altman’s GPU Overload: More Power Than Elon’s Ego

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman just dropped the world's nerdiest teaser: "new compute-intensive offerings" coming soon, exclusively gifted to Pro subscribers who evidently enjoy paying mega bucks to launch AI rockets. Sam’s promising to 'throw a lot of compute' around, which sounds like OpenAI’s version of a frat house kegger, except instead of beer, it’s GPUs—1 million by year-end to be exact—thrown in a frenzy only rivaled by Elon Musk's 200,000-GPU Colossus supercluster named like a Titan from Greek myths attending a Silicon Valley rave. Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg is lurking too, caught bragging about outspending everyone on GPUs, obviously trying to flex compute like Summers of billion-dollar poker games. Meanwhile, OpenAI’s moonshot aim is still 'bringing down intelligence costs' while hiking usage fees, all under the sound of cranking up costs so high the wallet cries. In short, expect your chatbots to get meatier, pricier, and greedier faster than your Wi-Fi can scream 'buffering.'
