Sam Altman envisions a future where artificial intelligence becomes as commonplace and commodified as utilities, with OpenAI positioned as one of the corporations that will dominate this infrastructure—a vision that conveniently places his company at the center of the next era of technological and economic power. The comparison to electricity and water suggests Altman believes AI will become not merely important but foundational to modern life, yet his framing glosses over a more unsettling question: whether a handful of private companies should control the essential intelligence layer that increasingly mediates human society. If history is any guide, infrastructure monopolies rarely end well for consumers or competitors.
