Comment by Sam Altman
CEO at OpenAI
Capitalism has also depended on somewhat of a power balance between labor and capital, but if it's hard in many of our current jobs to outwork a GPU, then that changes. [...] If there was an easy consensus answer, we'd have done it by now, so I don't think anyone knows what to do.

Verified. The Fortune source URL returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but a web search confirmed the quote from Altman's March 11, 2026 BlackRock Infrastructure Summit remarks: capitalism "has depended on at least something of a power balance between labor and capital," but "if it's hard in many of our current jobs to outwork a GPU, then that changes," and "If there was an easy consensus answer, we'd have done it by now, so I don't think anyone knows what to do." (corroborated by Fortune, Yahoo Finance, Futurism, AOL). Attribution to Sam Altman (OpenAI CEO) is correct and year 2026 is current. The "abstain" vote on "Governments should tax capital, not labor, as AI makes human work less central to the economy" correctly reflects Altman's explicitly non-committal stance — he describes the labor/capital problem but declines to endorse any solution, saying nobody knows what to do.
