What would you do with $7 trillion?
Co-founder and CEO of Open AI, Sam Altman is planning to raise money for his latest chip project, however, the estimated cost of this project isn’t cheap. Altman believes it will take $5-$7 trillion dollars to raise the necessary funds.
According to Business Insider, Altman wants to create chip factories in the United Arab Emirates and has already met with officials from the UAE. The idea behind this chip project is that the future of AI would be secured to continue to grow and advance.
“We believe the world needs more ai infrastructure—fab capacity, energy, datacenters, etc.—than people are currently planning to build,” Altman wrote on X.
“Building massive-scale ai infrastructure, and a resilient supply chain, is crucial to economic competitiveness. OpenAI will try to help!”
OpenAI has already dramatically changed the world with the launch of ChatGPT, as the platform has completely altered the scene for writing, creating content, providing answers to questions, creating images and videos and even is being utilized by some churches for writing and preaching sermons.

With a technology that has so quickly and efficiently changed the way technology, and even more so, how our greater society is working, there’s no doubt that such a huge sum of money to spend time creating more chips could further launch us into the last days troubles.
From AI generated children and romantic partners, the world of AI is not only opening up the possibilities of new opportunities, but it is teetering on the dangerous side which could have humans isolating from real connections with people for something actually artificial.
While we could, and perhaps should, have some fear that AI will further alter the way the world operates, it should also simultaneously present us with hope. Why? If we are seeing the signs of the end times, then it means we are that much closer to the return of Christ.
Could these chips lead to one of the greatest signs of Jesus’ return if it proves to be the mark of the beast? It’s possible. Remember, the mark of the beast will need to be located on the right hand or the forehead so that “no one may buy or sell, except he who has the mark or the name of the beast…” (Rev. 13:17).
Until we know more, the best we can assume is that OpenAI has a plethora of projects that will continue to push forward the technology into its next era.
