Comment on OpenAI Is Maneuvering for a Government Bailout

Comments

This is a stupid take if we are talking about an actual "bailout" and not an oversized "grease the palms of my golfing buddies" grift.

The only relation to a bailout is the amount of money. But OpenAI doesn't have any infrastructure risk or systemic risk. There isn't even an industry collapse risk because if OpenAI collapses Google and open source models will happily soak up their users.

Now I could totally see a "Big Beautiful Bailout" happening, but again, that would just be more grift. A bailout is meant to recoup from a mistake. Throw a trillion at OpenAI and you... increase their runway a couple of years?
