In other words, the industry players and their financiers are locked in competition within a self perpetuating feedback loop without any exit to "success".
Nvidia builds hardware that OpenAI buys. But OpenAI struggles to do this because they're actually losing money.
So in a stroke of brilliance to keep the loop going, Nvidia invests in OpenAI (or at least says they're considering it) which encourages others to do the same for fear of missing out on some of the wild success that Nvidia is having.
And the wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round --- for now.
That could be something to keep in mind :)

Most instances of righteous indignation I see just seem offensive to the gods in the same way... That mere (AI/crypto/Rust/enby) boosterism isn't[1].
Harping on this because I'm still asking the universe why merit should be so orthogonal to any mandate of heaven... (Ecclesiastes 9:11)
How do sovereign individuals farm and distribute <<(proxies for ) mandates of heaven (which GPUs seem to have today, according to 'omancers?)>>?
[1] techboosterism feels as harmless as lottery tickets. Pronatalists, on the other hand need to up their PR skills.. to reach that level of marketability.. in what universe is a kid not a lifelong indemnity for getting lucky that one time?
