It’s 2025, and if you’re still waiting for the “economic turnaround” promised last year, you may need to check if you’re standing at the wrong bus stop.

When someone on X (formerly Twitter) tossed out a half-joking question about how much those extra words are costing OpenAI in electricity, Altman responded directly: “Tens of millions of dollars well spent. You never know.”No one’s sure if he was being flippant or philosophical.
