May 7 (Cointime) - Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, shared a chart showing the US debt-to-GDP ratio over time. He describes the trend as "very scary" and notes that there is currently no plan to fix it or even much of an acknowledgment that a plan is needed.

Altman predicts that the problem will only get worse as the rest of the world seeks alternatives to the USD and interest rates remain non-zero, leading to a long-term brewing crisis.

According to Altman, the only viable solution to this problem is through technology-driven economic growth. "Major growth, driven by tech, can fix it. i literally can’t think of anything else that seems plausible that could do it." Altman said in another tweet.
