OpenAI president Greg Brockman on why compute is becoming the "new oil" of the AI age "We announced a couple of weeks ago that our AI, for $2,000 worth of compute, was able to solve 10 long-standing math problems that had eluded mathematicians for decades. Think about that applied to biology, to material science" "All of these applications are powered by one fundamental resource, which is compute. Compute is really becoming the new oil, the new limited resource of the AI age" "You need to believe one fundamental thing. Because AI is about solving the problems humans want solved, you need to believe that the demand for problems to be solved is unlimited. That is something I believe. We have a billion users on ChatGPT, and the depth of usage as people use agents is going off the charts" "If you believe in human creativity, human ambition, then ultimately you have to believe in the power of what AI will provide"
