That strategy only works if the anchor is in the realm of reality. If I'm selling a 20 year old Toyota Corolla and initially ask for $900,000 that's not going to help me get a higher price.

Anchoring bias probably works with numbers outside of the realm of reality as well. But I doubt it's very useful in these cases (or even any stronger than asking for say 300B), otherwise everyone would always start a funding round by asking for a 7T investment, right.

It's also probably less-effective when the other side has their own teams of accountants making projections.

in a negotiation where you have experts with good intuition for costs and practicalities on one side of the table and a non-technical failing-upwards-megalomaniac-kid on the other side, i doubt that's a sensible strategy

It's become a running theme that there are in fact a lot of OpenAIs, with how frequently their models get matched or leapfrogged by competitors.

Not really that many fabs either. They do this on that scale, they only need the AI to fill demand lol
