Reported.

OpenAI has not confirmed it.

Per a report from The Information, Altman told employees last week about three possible scenarios. The 'Eliezer plan' concentrates control in one company, which uses recursive self-improvement to 'melt everyone else's GPUs'; Altman said 'Obviously I think that one's terrible.' A safer proposal is an international organisation modelled on the IAEA. The 'Demis plan' has major AI companies merge into, or work through, one entity that provides models to participating countries.
