Conflict of interest?

This is no different than Google designing and manufacturing their own chips (TPU, tensor processing unit)

The claim is that he's starting different AI hardware companies on the side, not that he's doing it under OpenAI's umbrella. It's more like if Sundar tried to get funding for some side hustles while talking with potential customers or contractors of Google, without disclosing to Google's board ahead of time.
