Oracle debt holders are sweating profusely right now I imagine. How does OpenAI gets 300B$ to pay Oracle [1] when nVidia has to be convinced to shell out "just" 30B for actually purchasing nVidia hardware.

Easy, they just have to sell their overpriced vram chips (which haven't been manufactured yet), from their GPUs (which haven't been bought yet) which are in their data centers (the ones they're planning to build "soon"). It really isn't rocket science

Or as OpenAI has been trial ballooning for months, the government bails them out.

I have no idea why they would do that. Outside blatant corruption, which we shouldn't discount.

Are we acting like this is a low probability outcome?

Do they have enough liquidity to bribe Trump to do that?

		I think most bribes to Trump appear after the fact so no issues there (he does have plenty of enforcers to make sure he collects the bribes).

Maybe they could sell the RAM reserves they've been hoarding

Can they? The articles said that they bought wafers, not finished RAM. Is there interest in buying something like that?

		They could sell them, but not at the price they bought them for!

They would have to actually get fabricated first
