- rvnx 3y agoWell that's one of the reason for the chaos few months ago. The board considered that this fundraise for his own company was interfering with his CEO role.
- lazzlazzlazz 3y agoHis fundraising for his other companies is widely known and has been happening consistently for years.
- jakderrida 3y agoWell wait a minute...I don't think it would be competing with them in the end and I can't see him overcharging OpenAI, of all companies, for the use of this product. I honestly feel like this appears a genuine effort to help the interests of OpenAI and can't really find any conflicts or cause for this particular endeavor to engender dishonesty from him.

- petra 3y agoBuilding an advanced chip fab was much harder than just getting the money. So something isn't very clear about this story.
- londons_explore 3y agoI have a feeling they might not actually need the latest fab tech. What matters is FLOPS/dollar (production cost) and FLOPS/kilowatt (energy use of resulting chips). If you can use an older tech fab to get production cost down enough, it might be worth living with bigger transistors that use a little more energy. AI stuff is massively parallel, unlike most other tech stuff, so they don't actually need super low latency and high clock speeds.
