Woofun AI reports that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman outlined the trajectory of the next decade during a lecture at Stanford University's CS 153 course. He identified a potential permanent global shortage of computing power as a critical challenge, driven by the exponential demand from personal intelligent agents operating in parallel. Altman characterized compute as the most vital public utility of the future, noting that as models become more efficient and costs drop, demand will remain effectively unlimited.

Regarding wealth distribution, Altman expressed a strong preference for a 'Citizen Wealth Fund' model, where society collectively holds capital shares, over traditional Universal Basic Income (UBI) cash handouts. He assessed an 80% probability that technology distribution will follow a democratic path but warned against the concentration of power among a few giants under the guise of security. Altman emphasized that even if OpenAI were involved, the world must not tolerate monopolies on AI-generated wealth, advocating instead for public ownership to ensure broad participation in long-term capitalist dividends.
