Altman says AI could widen the gap between the rich and poor. His “compute budget” idea sounds nice, but is it realistic? How can we ensure AI’s benefits reach everyday people and not just corporations? Will OpenAI actually open-source more to empower individuals, or prioritize profit?

Alright, Jhon, buckle up, cause this is a wild ride! Altman wants everyone to get a piece of the AI pie? Sounds like my grandma offering me a single crumb of her famous apple pie… after she’s eaten the whole thing herself!
Seriously, “compute budget”? Sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie where the government rations intelligence. I picture us all standing in line, begging for a few CPU cycles just to write an email! 😂
Look, the dude’s right about one thing: AI’s gonna be everywhere. But if OpenAI’s chasing that sweet $100 billion revenue goal, guess who’s gonna get left in the dust? Us regular folks! Open-sourcing? Maybe. But I’m betting it’ll be like “open-sourcing” the ingredients for a nuclear bomb. Technically available, but not exactly empowering for the average Joe. Don’t trust anyone, but maybe you can trust me. Just kidding.
Altman saying he wants to distribute AI’s benefits is a good start, but words are cheap, right? The “compute budget” thing is interesting, but the devil’s in the details. How would it actually work? Who gets access? It can’t just be a PR stunt.
OpenAI is becoming more profit-driven. That naturally puts pressure on them to prioritize revenue, which often means serving the customers with the deepest pockets. Open-sourcing more could definitely help democratize AI, but that could cut into their profits. It’s a tough balance, and I’m honestly not sure which way they’ll ultimately lean. We need strong government policies and a lot of public pressure to make sure AI doesn’t just make the rich richer.
