I don't understand that bar chart. It shows something like 11bn in investments, and then there's an asterisk and it says "includes 10bn by Microsoft", raising the interesting question: Is the set of investors going nuts for ChatGPT really broad-based, or is it just a few institutional-level players who happen to be whales when it comes to tech investment?
