There was an article a while ago about how it costs OpenAI around $700,000 per day to operate. Could be north of $1M / day now.

  That's still only $365M per year – $2B would last you 5+ years.

  Even at $1M/day, the 3 billion from Amazon and Google would last 3000 days, which is ~8.2 years. Nothing to sneeze at! And that’s assuming they make no money themselves, which would extend the runway. A billion is a lot of money. I always accidentally think of it as 100 million instead of a thousand million for some reason.

  Even though 1M/day sounds like a lot, $10B (their funding from Microsoft) would last them 27 years at this rate.
