TSMC execs allegedly dismissed Sam Altman as ‘podcasting bro’ — OpenAI CEO made absurd requests for 36 fabs for $7 trillion

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.
