In a clip that starts a recent episode of the podcast Tech Won't Save Us, Sam Altman acknowledges generative AI's Achilles' heel: energy. Generative AI needs a ton of energy, at a time when tech companies are supposedly pushing to curb carbon emissions to address climate concerns. Seeing tech companies go all-in on generative AI when climate change very much remains a problem may seem like a disconnect, a misalignment of ideals and reality.

According to Altman, the energy needs of generative AI are just the thing that will push us to find a much-needed breakthrough in energy generation.
