Sam Altman says OpenAI wants to sell intelligence like a utility

During a recent appearance at BlackRock in Washington, D.C., OpenAI’s Sam Altman, shared his vision for the future of AI. At one point saying, “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”

Altman was describing a world where AI becomes a foundational infrastructure, something woven into everyday life so deeply that consumers and businesses simply “plug into” it the same way they rely on electricity, Wi-Fi or running water.

      Not sure what you mean, I don’t work for big tech and never have. I’m not churning out slop, I’m building products which work, still maintaining the quality standards I always have - in fact I feel like I’m about to raise the bar much more easily now, I can build a thorough test suite which covers the whole test pyramid way faster than ever before which means most of my code is more thoroughly tested now
