> This is no longer about money, it's about power

This is more Altman-speak. Before it was about how AI was going to end the world. That started backfiring, so now we're talking about political power. That power, however, ultimately flows from the wealth AI generates.

It's about the money. They're for-profit corporations.

If AI achieves what these guys envision, money probably won't mean much.

What would they do with money? Pay people to work?

I'm not sure what you're getting at. Dancing is a profession, and people do get paid to do it.

Kind of? Assuming OpenAI was actually 2-3 years ahead of other LLM companies, it would be hard to put a value to that tech advantage

Has AI generated any wealth?

There'd be a recession otherwise, no?

		I think they meant the resulting LLMs, not the speculation of AI which is currently the biggest driver right now
