To see the future of OpenAI, you need to see Altman cooking in the kitchen
The Financial Times (FT), a leading British media outlet, is drawing attention by posting a humorous satirical article predicting the future of OpenAI, likening Sam Altman's cooking.
Altman's Cooking Anecdote
FT recently introduced an anecdote about meeting Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, as a guest in the "Lunch with FT" series. The "Lunch with FT" series is an interview series that FT has been serializing every weekend since 1994. They have lunch with globally influential people such as politicians, businessmen, artists, and writers, and they discuss various topics through interviews.
Previously, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and former tennis player Roger Federer have been featured in "Lunch with FT."
Three Interesting Discoveries
The news team met Altman at a farmhouse in Napabelli, California, known for its wine production. Altman talked about the potential of AI while cooking garlic pasta in the kitchen.
The use of Graza olive oil caught the attention of the press team. Altman explained the distinction between olive oil for cooking and finishing, opting for the latter due to its strong scent.
Altman's choice of a high-end coffee machine, the "Breville Oracle Touch," priced at over $2,000, and his unique knife selection with a Japanese-German hybrid style were also highlighted by FT.
Analysis and Conclusion
FT reflected on Altman's inefficient and wasteful kitchen practices, drawing parallels to OpenAI's current state of investment without clear monetization strategies. The article humorously suggests that if Altman runs the company like his kitchen, the risk of bankruptcy is not far-fetched.
