OpenAI’s Sam Altman goes to Washington to talk AI—and gets a friendly reception

Good morning. I’m Sharon Goldman, AI reporter, pinch-hitting on the Fortune Tech newsletter today. 

It’s great timing, because I’m just back from vacation, where I saw both natural and manmade wonders of the world—the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam—as well as something new rising like a phoenix in the Arizona desert. 

Okay, it’s actually in Phoenix—that is, the sprawling new semiconductor plant from Taiwan Semiconductor Company (TSMC) that will produce sophisticated AI chips for clients like Nvidia and Amazon. It’s something to see if you ever find yourself cruising Loop 303 off of Interstate 17 on the north side of the city. 

But maybe before it gets over 110 degrees, amirite? —Sharon Goldman
