Now OpenAI can use this money that doesn't exist to build datacenters that no one wants built powered by infrastructure that doesn't exist, so they can offer a product no one wants to chase revenue that is impossible.
I’m not qualified to explain this well. But there’s the concept of velocity of money. The higher velocity that’s supposed to mean the economy is doing good. Generally it’s between lots of people so it’s spread out. In this case it’s only between a small handful of companies, and as soon as it starts drying up then bad things can happen really quickly.
I hope it pops, but everyone is misquoting Nvidia. Pretty sure they said they will invest up to 100 billion, they never said a time frame and the wording implies that investment would be spread over time.

Isn't OpenAI also investing heavily into Nvidia? How the hell does that work? They're just circulating money around?

How do fundraising drives like this work? Will OpenAI's parent company issue a new class of stock or something?
