Re:Altman Sought Billions for AI Chip Venture Before OpenAI ... by sangnoir on Sunday November 19, 2023 @05:14PM (#38338909)
Do you think there's a problem with him pitching his hardware side-gig to investors who approached him with an interest in OpenAI's tender offer? That gives the appearance of quid pro quo; with the hope that the investors get to skip the next line at the next OpenAI investment opportunity. Imagine someone high up on the Nvidia sales org telling a customer they are all out of H200 graphics cards for the half, but they have a fantastic timeshare investment opportunity they are selling on the side while the customer waits for the next batch.

Not necessarily, unless he proposed to run it himself. I don't see any evidence of that. Just tons of speculation.
