“OpenAI CEO Sam Altman sounded exasperated when Altimeter Capital founder—and OpenAI shareholder—Brad Gerstner asked him the question that Gerstner said was ‘hanging over the market’: how a company generating $13 billion in revenue this year would pay for the $1.4 trillion in computing capacity that Altman has said the company is on the hook for.
‘Brad, if you want to sell shares, I’ll find you a buyer…I just—enough,’ Altman said on Gerstner’s podcast.”
I think it's a bit out of order of Altman. $1.4tn is ~16 times the US foreign aid budget. These are significant, solve world hunger type numbers that should be analysed seriously and not done on the basis of trust me bro.

Sorry but is there some lore behind it as I feel like the last sentence has me wondering what it means. If you could share the lore, I would really appreciate it.
but overall, I agree that this is a very weird thing to say by Sam Altman
