Sam Altman Responds to Brad Gerstner on OpenAl's Compute Commitments:
“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. Like, you know, people are… I think there's a lot of people who would love to buy OpenAl shares. I don't think you… people who talk with a lot of like breathless concern about our compute stuff or whatever that would be thrilled to buy shares. So I think we we could sell, you know, your shares or anybody else's to some of the people who are making the most noise on Twitter whatever 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 grow and that not only will ChatGPT keep growing, but we will be able to become one of the important Al clouds, that our consumer device business will be a significant and important thing, that Al that can automate science will create huge value.
So, you know, 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 ‘OpenAl is about to go out of business’ and, you know, whatever. I would love to tell them they could just short the stock and I would love to see them get burned on that.”
