That's a Sam Altman line and all it shows is that he does not know how knowledge is acquired, developed, or applied. He has no concept of how the world actually works and has likely never thought deeply about anything in his life beyond how to grift profitably. And he can't afford to examine his (professed) beliefs because he's trying to cash out on a doomed fantasy before too many people realise it is doomed.
