$200 million doesn't cover the first billion in losses OpenAI inflicts upon itself, but I'm not a fan of this bailout regardless.

LOL. They think AI will replace all humans and actual thinking. Hackers are going to have so much fun punking these asshats. AI will cost you more than twice the salary & benefits of an actual Human.
