During a recent interview with podcaster and OpenAI investor Brad Gerstner, Altman lost his cool when he was asked outright how it all adds up. “How can a company with $13 billion in revenues make $1.4 trillion of spend commitments?” Gerstner asked him. “You’ve heard the criticism, Sam.” “If you want to sell your shares, I’ll find you a buyer,” a taken-aback Altman replied curtly. “Enough.” Surprised by the confrontation, Gerstner let out a laugh in response. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/sam-altman-lose...

Uh huh. So, why is OpenAI seeking federal backing, if Altman is that confident that he can find buyers? (Which I am vehemently against. I do not want the US taxpayer to be the bagholder of last resort.)
