> And more importantly the investors are all gone gone.

I can't even understand what this post is trying to say, considering OpenAI raised a giant new funding round mere weeks ago.

Please don't break the site guidelines, no matter how you feel about $CEO. You may not owe $CEO better, you owe this community better if you're participating in it.

Edit: I suppose I'd better add that yes, the rules here are the same regardless of whom you're talking about. We don't want this kind of fulmination on HN because it degrades discussion quality and evokes worse from others.

Note that they themselves described that amount as "committed capital", not something you or I would consider "funding" if we were to raise for a typical startup.

If there are strings attached, such as "will be able to navigate red tape to get X number of DC sites approved", then the number depends on OpenAI's ability to execute.

I know the world is moving awfully fast these days, but SBF was only two and a half years ago.
