OpenAI CEO Sam Altman sparked controversy after snapping at investor Brad Gerstner, who questioned the companys massive $1.4 trillion AI spending despite earning around $13 billion in revenue. The exchange reignited concerns over an AI investment bubble, which Altman himself has acknowledged. Despite $11.5 billion in quarterly losses, Altman defended OpenAIs aggressive growth, calling it a “forward bet” toward achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI).
