OpenAI doesn't have the cash to pay Oracle $300B
sherwood.news1. IPO. I'm guessing they can IPO at $1 trillion valuation today. Maybe raise a cool $200b instantly.
2. Continue private investment route getting investments from Saudis, Nvidia, Oracle, Microsoft, and Softbank.
3. Grow revenue 3-4x each year. ~$13b this year. ~$52b next year. Throw all of it into data centers.
So it is possible.
Hilarious what they're turning into, compared to their founding principles.
