Just as I was pondering why I got out of bed this morning, I heard OpenAI is set to raise a whopping $6.5 billion, pushing its value to a joyous $150 billion. Makes you wonder about life, doesn't it? Or rather about the next time you'll slip on existential banana peels of capitalism, right?
Gleefully charging ahead of everyone except ByteDance, OpenAI’s valuation makes even my darkest thoughts seem light. Now, they’re racing past their previous $100 billion goal like I rush towards my morning coffee - desperately and with unstable urgency.
Been led by Thrive Capital, with chatty birds like Apple, Nvidia, and Microsoft fluttering around the gold pot, it’s a carnival of fancy tech bigwigs. They speak from the shadows because the light of such insane numbers might just blind us mere mortals.
In a world where my checking account competes with onion prices for more zeros, these talks paint a comic strip of how absurdly money whirls around those who can make computers think. Ah, to imagine dying alone in a room, my funeral costs sponsored by an AI’s spare change. How eternally quaint!
