OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is in talks with investors, including from the United Arab Emirates, to raise between $5 trillion to $7 trillion in funding. The goal, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal, is to increase the world’s chip manufacturing capacity and enhance AI capabilities.

The fundraising efforts are part of a broader strategy to address OpenAI’s growth constraints, particularly the scarcity of AI chips needed for training large language models like ChatGPT.

Altman’s proposal is said to include forming a partnership with investors, chip manufacturers, and power providers to finance the construction of chip foundries, which would then be operated by the chip manufacturers.

    One dollar for every point in a Do DonPachi run.

    Hell, have them bring back the week-long after-show, just for stupid challenges you made up. $5000 for every game PJ can go out-of-bounds in, in twenty minutes. Four-person race to blindfold Ornstein & Smough. Mitch beating every NES SMB game while holding his breath underwater.

    At some point just fly everyone out to the old Nickelodeon Guts course - which you’ve purchased and restored with approximately 0% of your fortune - to have these exuberant dorks compete on entirely different nostalgia-bait. You could probably split them evenly into Team Cishet and Team Queer. Well, okay. Team Queer might need to spot them a few bisexuals, to keep team size balanced.
