  Well, this FT based article[0] speculates more companies, with "companies in talks" and "according to several people with knowledge of the matter"... but doesn't back it up with anyone on the record. It's certainly interesting, but no more concrete than last week's coverage.. until January apparently: "The consortium is planning to announce as early as January that it has reached agreements with a number of tech groups" [0]: (2 points, 4 hours ago) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42489067 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42489067

    FT is fairly reliable - it's moreso a leak than "speculation". And this is fairly significant news, especially the addition of ScaleAI, OpenAI, and SpaceX in this consortium as leadership at all 3 have bad blood between each other and Founders Fund. The Register "article" is just a rehash of Palantir and Andruil's press release. > doesn't back it up with anyone on the record Because a source is leaking and doesn't want to be attributed. Ime, it's probably one of the consortium members themselves who leaked this (probably to gauge sentiment). You should absolutely be cautious about sources, but FT is fairly reliable and has an incentive to not leak unreliable or inaccurate information.
