Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has shifted his stance to support President Trump, admitting he previously fell into the "npc trap" and didn't think critically. He believes Trump can positively impact the country despite not agreeing with him on all issues. This change coincides with the announcement of Project Stargate, a $500 billion AI initiative involving OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle, aimed at enhancing U.S. AI leadership amidst ongoing discussions about tech's political engagement.
