> Feb 8 (Reuters) - OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is in talks with investors, including the UAE, to raise funds for a tech initiative to boost the world's chip-building capacity and expand its ability to power AI, among other things, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.
> The project could require raising as much as $5 trillion to $7 trillion, the report added, citing people familiar with the matter.
I don't know why I'm reading Reuters report WJS report someone's words. Where is the actual source of this number? Did Sam Altman really say "$7T" or it's just someone's wild guess?
