OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman: Compute power is the new oil! 1. Sell Occidental Petroleum, buy NVIDIA In the AI era, the most critical and scarce underlying resource isn’t oil—it’s compute power. Whether it’s cybersecurity, software engineering, or scientific breakthroughs, the five-layer AI cake that Jensen Huang talks about is all driven by compute power as the core engine. 2. AI solves decades-old problems with just $1,000 of compute OpenAI previously used just $2,000 worth of compute power to solve 10 math problems that had stumped mathematicians for decades! Imagine applying this level of capability to biology or materials science—the entire tech world would see breakthroughs on a nuclear scale. 3. AI growth has no ceiling As long as you believe one thing: humanity’s desire to solve problems is infinite, you’ll understand how massive AI’s commercial potential is. ChatGPT now has 1 billion users and 2 million enterprise clients, but this is just the beginning. In the next decade, compute power will be power, and AI will be productivity!
