Вы видели этот отрезок, где Сэм Альтман резко отвечает своему инвестору Брэду Герстнеру?

Сэм Альтман из OpenAI недавно пришел на подкаст BG2 к Брэду Герстнеру из Altimeter. Да не один. С ним был Сатья Наделла из Microsoft.

Когда разговор был в самом разгаре, пожалуй, случился один из самых неловких моментов последнего времени.

1 Брэд спросил, как может OpenAI позволить себе обязательства по затратам на $1.4T при их выручке?

How can OpenAI with $13 billion in revenues make $1.4 trillion of spend commitments?

2 На что Сэм предложил Брэду продать акции, если он недоволен.

First of all. We’re doing well more revenue than that.

Second of all, Brad, if you want to sell your shares, I'll find you a buyer. I just, enough. I think there's a lot of people who would love to buy OpenAI shares. I think people who talk with a lot of breathless concern about our compute stuff or whatever, that would be thrilled to buy shares. So I think we could sell your shares or anybody else's to some of the people who are making the most noise on Twitter about this very quickly.

We do plan for revenue to grow steeply. Revenue is growing steeply. We are taking a forward bet that it's going to continue to grow and that not only will ChatGPT keep growing, but we will be able to become one of the important AI clouds, that our consumer device business will be a significant and important thing, that AI that can automate science will create huge value. There are not many times that I want to be a public company, but one of the rare times it's appealing is when those people are writing these ridiculous OpenAI is about to go out of business. I would love to tell them they could just short the stock, and I would love to see them get burned on that.

But we carefully plan. We understand where the technology, where the capability is going to grow and how the products we can build around that and the revenue we can generate. We might screw it up. This is the bet that we're making and we're taking a risk along with that. A certain risk is if we don't have the compute, we will not be able to generate the revenue or make the models at this kind of scale.

3 Сатья Наделла постарался смягчить ситуацию и сказать, что OpenAI всегда свои же прогнозы в итоге превышает в реальности, но все равно после этого напряжение осталось.

Ух! Конечно, Брэд после этого написал в Twitter, что "мы над этим потом посмеялись". Но, кажется, что если вы посмотрите видео, то увидите, что напряжение реально.
