OpenAI CEO Sam Altman helped bring ChatGPT to the world, which sparked the current A.I. race involving Microsoft, Google, and others.
But he’s busy with other ventures that could be no less disruptive—and are linked in some ways. This week, Microsoft announced a purchasing agreement with Helion Energy, a nuclear fusion startup primarily backed by Altman. And Worldcoin, a crypto startup involving eye scans cofounded by Altman in 2019, is close to securing hefty new investments, according to Financial Times reporting on Sunday.
