From the video: a lot of new companies are going to start

Well, there is this as well - https://finance.yahoo.com/news/openai-board-chair-doubles-do...

Altman was touring globally to raise $7T (yes, trillion), just a few months ago. So, not sure if they are purposefully trying to scare off people.

>Altman was touring globally to raise $7T (yes, trillion), just a few months ago.

A few points about that: It wasn't just a few months ago, it was more than a year ago; he wasn't raising funds for OpenAI, it was for a separate chip-building venture; the $7T number was universally regarded as laughable, and the whole thing has predictably gone nowhere; and, FWIW, both OpenAI and Altman have publicly denied that he was ever trying to raise such a comical amount.
