Welcome to the TechBrew Right Home from Monday, February 23rd, 26. I'm Brian McCullough today. Sam Altman has a lot of stuff to say about AI, and let's just say,

comms needs to have a quiet word with him. Sass may or may not be dead, but is the replacement vertical AI and a big thought experiment.

If the AI bulls are right and AI transforms the economy,

what might that look like? Here's what you miss today in the world of tech.

Sam Holtman has been saying some things, and you can do some real tea leaf reading into some of the things

he's said, first quoting the Indian Express. In his recent outing with Express ATA,

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman spoke about meeting the staggering future demands of artificial

intelligence. When Anat Glanantka, executive director of the Indian

Express, asked about putting data centers in space. Altman quipped saying the idea was ridiculous. This is in

stark contrast to Altman's chief rival billionaire Elon Musk, who has been speaking profusely about moving

AI computation off Earth into space, specifically into orbit, with the help of satellites and solar

power. Putting data centers in space with the help of satellites and solar power.

Putting data centers in space with the current landscape is ridiculous.

Orbital data centers are not going to matter at scale this decade due to the rough math of launch costs and how hard it is to fix a broken GPU in space.

Altman told Gunka.

Other than the massive physical infrastructure of AI, the landscape seems to be also shaped by intense personal dynamics and rivalries. Altman's relationship with Musk has been famously fraught. During the interview, Gunka asked Altman to weigh the probabilities of two highly unlikely scenarios, whether Taiwan semiconductor manufacturingonductor Manufacturing would lose its global monopoly

on chip manufacturing, or if he and Musk would ever become friends again. Altman was unambiguous in his

response. I think Musk and I becoming friends again is less likely, he admitted, adding with a touch

of humor, I feel like I have more control over that one, end quote. Now from Gizmodo, quote, Sam Altman is starting to get the sneaking suspicion that companies

might be using the technology he's dedicated his life to once it turned out to be extremely

profitable as cover for their own interests. In an interview with CNBC TV 18 at the India AI

Impact Summit, the founder and CEO of OpenAI suggested that
