According to CoinMeta, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated in a podcast with Stripe co-founder John Collison that OpenAI will be committed to building its own data center. He mentioned that self-replicating data centers are now “within reach,” and that chip factories controlled by robots managed by AI will build turbines, solar panels, and more data centers to produce “a large amount of very inexpensive computing power.” Altman also noted that building and operating a one-gigawatt capacity requires about $70 billion, but $20 billion would make him “more satisfied.”
