Sam Altman says people may someday “buy intelligence on a meter” like electricity or water and critics say the vision sounds more dystopian than innovative.

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.

    they seem to be trying to do that, prefer to hire only senior/ or have multi-year experience in the field. biotech is pretty much at that level already, preferred candidates are the ones with GRAD degrees, or lower wage outsourced workers(visa holders) or somehow if you are lucky while getting a degree already have 2-4years experience working in a lab volunteer not as a labtech. or biotech/ health adjacent like CLS is gatekept by the limited the amount of schools that teach this graduate program(EVERYONE wants to bumrush cali to apply to those programs, so competitive)
