Comment on OpenAI CEO Altman: future AI depends on energy breakthrough

Absolutely. Just because Altman “wishes” a new energy breakthrough its not suddenly going to happen. And even if nuclear fusion succeed, applying them in real life in scale is another big problem…

And he wants it to succeed because he’s invested money into it and wants to make more money, not because he cares about the environment.
