Sam explicitly commented on this claim. He said we’ll _collectively_, _eventually_ need to spend 7 trillion dollars on compute to meet demand. Not OpenAI raising 7 trillion to build all the capacity itself.

To be fair it’s not remotely out of character for the guy who went on a world tour telling every government that super intelligence was imminent.

Can you cite a source for this? When was this said? Was this something said before these meetings or a walk back after they laughed him out of the room.

there's a recent a clip of Masa at a bloomberg conference quoting 9T on a similar idea, i think he said he thought it was actually a good buy
