      I think that’s actually the plan and part of the cycle. Going bankrupt won’t stop them, the infrastructure will just be sold, the American people will absorb the losses and the reckless shit heads who made this all possible will have unimaginable wealth and zero consequences.

    I honestly think they deserve to go bankrupt after reserving 40% of all memory wafers and not having a plan for it.

    Probably deserves jail time for fraud and anti competitive behaviour.

    But I doubt they’ll go bankrupt.

      That line of reasoning reminds me of this excerpt from 1984:

      ‘You are prepared to cheat, to forge, to blackmail, to corrupt the minds of children, to distribute habit-forming drugs, to encourage prostitution, to disseminate venereal diseases—to do anything which is likely to cause demoralization and weaken the power of the Party? If, for example, it would somehow serve our interests to throw sulphuric acid in a child’s face—are you prepared to do that?’

    Not if Trump leverages the US Treasury to buy a significant stake in the company. Hormuz is just a warmup act for torpedoing the petro dollar. Hold onto your butts, this guy can and will bankrupt anything.

    I don’t believe so. That’s when it’s supposed to IPO, which tends to raise a lot of money.

      Right. OpenAI is (still) a (big) startup, and 1.5 years of runway (at the time of this article in January) isn’t bad.

      That said, fuck OpenAI
