Sam Altman reportedly pitched three endgames for AI safety, one involving a single firm melting everyone else's GPUs

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman presented three potential strategies for managing future artificial intelligence safety, including the creation of an international oversight body similar to the IAEA or the consolidation of major labs into a single organization. A third, which Altman described as a poor option, involves a dominant firm gaining enough power to seize or disable the computing hardware of all other competitors. These scenarios reflect internal deliberations regarding how to control the trajectory and security risks of advanced, large-scale machine learning models.
