I doubt OpenAI will start challenging TSMC at building chips anytime soon.

I doubt OpenAI will start challenging TSMC at building chips anytime soon.
- mft_ 2y agoIndeed; but laughing at the scale of someone’s ambition (or vision?) might just mean that one’s own is too narrow or limited. After all, there are lots of narrow-minded, un-visionary folks out there. Just because there’s an anti-Altman/-OpenAI sentiment on HN at the moment, it doesn’t mean that he’s wrong about everything, nor the people at TSMC are necessarily right.

- Foobar8568 2y agoFrom his non profit :D
- croes 2y agoIf they pay 7 trillion dollars, they certainly won't make a profit for a long time.
- tim333 2y agoHe was trying the arabs. It didn't seem to work though.
- mft_ 2y agoAgain, that it sounds ridiculous rooted in the conventional reality of today, doesn’t necessarily mean he’s wrong in his vision. Again, the Russians laughed at Musk. The legacy space companies didn’t produce reusable boosters when they clearly could’ve, and people laughed at the idea until it was working. Etc. (I’m not sure what relevance the NASA comment has; of course small underfunded startups need money to realise their goals? SpaceX needed NASA’s money to develop various projects faster, and NASA needed SpaceX to a) reduce launch costs and b) reduce their reliance on Russia for human launches.)
- croes 2y agoNASA paid so SpaceX could follow it's vision. Who will by pay $7 billions so Altman can follow his? SpaceX costs were much lower and there goal was to become cheaper. OpenAI will cost more even with all the chips Altman wants. Those chips need energy.
