    I bet they’ll get it to where the US taxpayers subsidize it all

      It's already happening. HHS has OpenAI for everyone who works there, and as of now they're required to use it.

        How can you be required to use it?

    I had thought OpenAI might survive this bubble, but it sounds like a monster crash coming up. How the hell can they ever make enough to see a profit?!

    According to Wikipedia, Oracle Corp. has 57billion yearly revenue, this is 300billion over 5 year, meaning it would more than double their revenue? Is that plausible?

      According to the article, Oracle made $18b from cloud services this year. They are projecting that to grow to $130b in the next five years, with half that growth being this deal.

      Absurd.

        Let’s hope this hurts them bad. Oracle is evil.

    Did they pay for anything, or they just fund everything from donations ?
