It is truly the ultimate technofix.

Sam Altman is trying to equate compute time with value but fails to see that value can be traded for goods and necessities. Wtf a lumberjack, carpenter, mechanic, plumber, steel worker going to do with compute?

This is Sam "WorldCoin" Altman we're talking about, I'm sure he assumes they can mine crypto with it.
