One of the interesting counter points that David Sacks mentions in the all in podcast if this is such a life-changing technology, why did OpenAI sell 49% (or some number near that) for 10B dollars. Presumably, the insiders know more than anyone else

Because while LLMs may be a life-changing technology, there is no guarantee that OpenAI specifically will continue to lead the pack.
"If the internet is such a big deal, why isn't AOL worth more?"
While the tech might be dominant in a few years, that doesn't mean OpenAI is also going to dominate.
I wonder how much of it is legitimately just because this stuff is insanely expensive to run, and they needed the money?
I mean bad deal doesn't %100 mean it can't be huge in future? Bill gates had almost half of Microsoft stock at IPO, every investing decision he had did'nt replace that lost but Microsoft is still huge. There aree similiar examples in history.
I assumed it was to help get extremely low cost Azure compute and to grow faster now that Microsoft was going all in on GPT4 with Bing & Office.
Compute and distribution is my guess
